Prognostic Value of Interleukin-17 A Gene Polymorphism and Serum IL-17 Levels in Adult Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Patients

Interleukin-17 Gene Expression and Serum Levels in Acute Rejected and non-Rejected Liver Transplant Patients

Background: Interleukin-17 (IL-17), as a potent proinflammatory cytokine, has a critical role in post liver transplant outcomes. However, there is not much information about the effects of IL-17 cytokine on acute liver rejection. Objective: To evaluate the role of IL-17 in post-liver transplant acute rejection. Methods: Ninety seven adult liver transplant patients who enrolled in this cross sec...

Interleukin-17 Serum Levels and TLR4 Polymorphisms in Ulcerative Colitis

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease, an autoimmune disease, has two clinical manifestations including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (UC). IL-17 has been the target of intensive research in autoimmune diseases. The influence of Toll like receptor 4 (TLR-4) gene polymorphisms on IL-17 production has also been revealed in UC patients and tissue inflammation in mice. Objectives: To inve...

Serum Levels of Interleukin 17 in Patients with Pemphigus and Healthy Subjects

Introduction: Pemphigus is a relatively rare autoimmune bullous disease involving skin and mucous epithelia. The disease occurs as a result of production of auto-antibodies against inter-cellular epithelia especially cadherin and desmoglein. Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is one of the specific cytokines of T helper. IL-17 plays an important role in delayed type reaction and recruits neutrophils and mo...
