Serum interleukin-23 (IL-23) is increased in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Recent studies have demonstrated that T-helper 17 lymphocytes (Th17), which produce mostly IL-17, play a major role in several autoimmune diseases commonly thought to be Th1-related, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). IL-23, a member of the IL-12 cytokine family, is known to guide T cells toward the Th17 phenotype and its serum levels are increased in several autoimmune disease. Few data a...
متن کاملSerum Interleukin-23 Levels in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis
Background: Patients with ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of inflammation. Interleukin 23 (IL-23) is a newly identified cytokine with increased expression in inflamed biopsies of colon mucosa in patients with Crohn's disease; however, there is inconsistent evidence on its role in ulcerative colitis. Objective: We aimed to compare serum IL-23 level in patients with ulcerative colitis an...
متن کاملRole of interleukin-23 (IL-23) receptor signaling for IL-17 responses in human Lyme disease.
Interleukin-23 (IL-23) is known to play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of T helper 17 cells. It has been previously demonstrated that IL-17 is involved in experimental Lyme arthritis, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. However, the precise role of the IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) for the B. burgdorferi-induced IL-17 responses or human Lyme disease has not yet been elucidated...
متن کاملInterleukin-23 (IL-23)-IL-17 cytokine axis in murine Pneumocystis carinii infection.
Host defense mechanisms against Pneumocystis carinii are not fully understood. Previous work in the murine model has shown that host defense against infection is critically dependent upon host CD4(+) T cells. The recently described Th17 immune response is predominantly a function of effector CD4(+) T cells stimulated by interleukin-23 (IL-23), but whether these cells are required for defense ag...
متن کاملIncreased Interleukin-23 in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Disease Induces Autophagy Suppression and Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) represents the most common organ-specific autoimmune disease. Inflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play detrimental roles during the pathogenesis of HT. In this study, we found that thyroid follicular cells (TFCs) from HT patients expressed an elevated level of interleukin-23 (IL-23), which contributed to autophagy suppression and ROS accumulation....
