Interleukin-17 gene expression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Interleukin-17 is a proinflammatory cytokine. Recent animal studies have shown that IL-17 plays a role in the initiation and progression of arthritis. However, whether IL-17 has a prominent role in human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or not remains unclear. Here we investigated the role of IL-17 in patients with RA. cDNA was prepared from knee joint synovial tissues of RA (n = 11) and osteoarthriti...
متن کاملInterleukin 17 inhibits progenitor cells in rheumatoid arthritis cartilage
Mesenchymal stem cells are known to exert immunomodulatory effects in inflammatory diseases. Immuneregulatory cells lead to progressive joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukins (ILs) are the main players. Here, we studied progenitor cells from RA cartilage (RA-CPCs) that are positive for IL-17 receptors ...
متن کاملTargeting of interleukin-17 in the treatment of psoriasis
"Psoriasis" is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disorder with epidermal hyperplasia. There is some evidence that the cytokine interleukin-17A (often known as IL-17), which is mainly produced by Th17 cells, has a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. "IL-17" is a pro-inflammatory cytokine mainly important in the host's defense against extracellular bacteria and fungi. The three new therap...
متن کاملInterleukin 10 treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.
Interleukin (IL) 10 looms as a highly promising treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) because of its capacity to inhibit cellular immunity and deactivate macrophages. In RA, activated CD4 T helper cells and macrophages are believed to be the primary driving force behind joint inflammation. Synovial macrophages play a critical part in stimulating synovial inflammation. They produce abundant qu...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 inhibitors in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
Recent developments in understanding the immunopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), combined with progress in biopharmaceutical development, have facilitated the introduction of novel immune modulating therapies for this progressive debilitating disorder. Efficacy achieved with certain agents, particularly the TNF inhibitors, has spurred the development of additional biologic agents targe...
