متن کاملCD30 ligand is a target for a novel biological therapy against colitis associated with Th17 responses.
We have previously found that CD30 ligand (CD30L; CD153)/CD30 signaling executed by the T-T cell interaction plays a critical role in Th17 cell differentiation, at least partly via downregulation of IL-2 production. In this study, we investigated the role of CD30L in the development of colitis experimentally induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), in which IL-17A is involved in the pathogenesi...
متن کاملBacterial Agents in Ulcerative Colitis
In the last decade, the dogma that no bacteria could grow in the acid milieu of the stomach has been destroyed by evidence that the infective agent, H. pylori, is responsible for gastric and duodenal disease. Studies on H. pylori infection suggest that some strains of intestinal bacteria may be responsible for intestinal ulceration and inflammation concomitant with inflammatory bowel diseases (...
