Current knowledge on psoriasis and autoimmune diseases
Psoriasis is a prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin, mediated by crosstalk between epidermal keratinocytes, dermal vascular cells, and immunocytes such as antigen presenting cells (APCs) and T cells. Exclusive cellular "responsibility" for the induction and maintenance of psoriatic plaques has not been clearly defined. Increased proliferation of keratinocytes and endothelial cell...
متن کاملGene therapy using IL-27 ameliorates Sjögren's syndrome-like autoimmune exocrinopathy
INTRODUCTION Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by decreased salivary and lacrimal gland secretions, resulting in severe dry mouth and dry eyes. Recent studies have suggested that TH17 cells and its signature cytokine IL-17 are involved in the underlying pathogenic mechanisms leading to destructive inflammation and autoimmunity. In the present study, we exam...

In the individuals previously uninfected by M.tuberculosis, about 2 to 4 weeks after the vaccination, erythema around an area of induration appears. Approximately at the site of prick of injection a nodule shows up. Within 3 to 10 days time, it softens giving rise to a pustule. Bursting of the pustule in about 2 to 5 days after its appearance results in an ulcer 4 to 8 mm in size. This painless...
متن کاملExpression of the retinoblastoma protein RbAp48 in exocrine glands leads to Sjögren's syndrome–like autoimmune exocrinopathy
Although several autoimmune diseases are known to develop in postmenopausal women, the mechanisms by which estrogen deficiency influences autoimmunity remain unclear. Recently, we found that retinoblastoma-associated protein 48 (RbAp48) induces tissue-specific apoptosis in the exocrine glands depending on the level of estrogen deficiency. In this study, we report that transgenic (Tg) expression...
متن کاملProgress in understanding autoimmune exocrinopathy using the non-obese diabetic mouse: an update.
Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by histological and functional alterations of salivary and lacrimal glands that result in a severe dryness of the mouth and the eyes. The etiology of SS has remained undefined despite investigators' significant efforts to identify the mechanisms of initiation. Based on histopathology, several animal models are available--such...
