T Helper 17 Cells in Autoimmune Liver Diseases
Many autoimmune diseases are driven by self-reactive T helper (Th) cells. A new population of effector CD4(+) T cells characterized by the secretion of interleukin (IL)-17, referred to as Th17 cells, has been demonstrated to be phenotypically, functionally, and developmentally distinct from Th1 and Th2 cells. Because the liver is known to be an important source of transforming growth factor- β ...

متن کاملModulation of autoimmune diseases by interleukin (IL)-17 producing regulatory T helper (Th17) cells
Following the discovery of interleukin (IL)-17 producing T helper (Th17) cells as a distinct lineage of CD4+ T helper cells it became clear that these cells play an important role in the host defense against extracellular fungal and bacterial pathogens and participate in the pathogenesis of multiple inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Depending on the microenvironment, Th17 cells can alter t...
متن کاملAutoimmune regulator‑overexpressing dendritic cells induce T helper 1 and T helper 17 cells by upregulating cytokine expression.
The autoimmune regulator (Aire) protein is a transcriptional activator that is essential in central immune tolerance, as it regulates the ectopic expression of many tissue‑restricted antigens in medullary thymic epithelial cells. Aire expression has also been described in hematopoietic cells, such as monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), in the peripheral immune system. However, the ...
متن کاملInducible costimulator (ICOS) blockade inhibits accumulation of polyfunctional T helper 1/T helper 17 cells and mitigates autoimmune arthritis.
OBJECTIVES Inducible costimulator (ICOS) and its ligand (ICOSL) regulate T and B cell responses. Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (G6PI)-induced arthritis requires T and B lymphocytes. It was hypothesised that blocking ICOS/ICOSL interactions ameliorates G6PI-induced arthritis and reduces G6PI-specific B and T lymphocyte responses. METHODS DBA/1 mice were injected with a blocking, non-depleting ...
