Cutaneous GVHD is associated with the expansion of tissue-localized Th1 and not Th17 cells.

چکیده
Studies in mice have shown that proinflammatory Th17 cells can cause acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) related tissue damage; however, whether they play a role in human aGVHD remains unclear. In a prospective study, we measured the proportion of Th17 cells in the blood and skin of patients at the onset of aGVHD. We found no difference in the proportion or amount of IL-17 produced by T cells in the blood of patients with aGVHD (n = 20) compared with time-matched patients without GVHD (n = 14). Moreover, Th17 cells were not increased in the skin of patients with cutaneous aGVHD (n = 7) compared with healthy controls (n = 10). In contrast, we found significantly more interferon-γ-producing T cells in the skin of patients with aGVHD compared with controls. These data support the long-standing paradigm that tissue localized interferon-γ-producing cells are the perpetrators of aGVHD.

The morbidity and mortality associated with graft-host-disease (GVHD) is a significant obstacle to the greater use of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Donor T cells that predominantly differentiate into TH1/Tc1 T cells and generate pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) mediate GVHD. Although numerous studies have described a pathogenic role for IFN-gamma, multiple...

In acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), naive donor CD4(+) T cells recognize alloantigens on host antigen-presenting cells and differentiate into T helper (Th) subsets (Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells), but the role of Th subsets in GVHD pathogenesis is incompletely characterized. Here we report that, in an MHC-mismatched model of C57BL/6 donor to BALB/c recipient, WT donor CD4(+) T cells predomina...
متن کاملAbsence of donor Th17 leads to augmented Th1 differentiation and exacerbated acute graft-versus-host disease.
Th17 is a newly identified T-cell lineage that secretes proinflammatory cytokine IL-17. Th17 cells have been shown to play a critical role in mediating autoimmune diseases such as EAE, colitis, and arthritis, but their role in the pathogenesis of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is still unknown. Here we showed that, in an acute GVHD model of C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) donor to BALB/c (H-2(d)) recipient,...

Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Although, the contribution of various cells such as B cells, CD8+ T cells, microglia/macrophages, dendritic cells, asterocytes and mast cells in the pathogenesis of MS have been demonstrated, however, it seems that autoreactive myelin specific CD4+ T cells pla...
