PReS-FINAL-1007: Regulatory T cells functional specialization in JIA
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Regulatory T cells (Treg) are important players in keeping the immune system in balance. In juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints, this balance is disturbed. Recently, different functional subsets of regulatory T cells (Treg) have been described in mice and human that mirror the T helper subsets. A lot remains unknown about the function and mechanism of action of Treg (subsets), especially in inflammatory environments.

Methods We setup an in vitro culture system to test the suppressive capacity of MSC on both peripheral blood cells (PBMC) and synovial fluid cells (SFMC). We tested T cell proliferation and cytokine production of healthy controls and JIA patients. Furthermore, we investigated the induction or suppression of regulatory T cells (Treg) and Th17 cells as these cells have an important role in JIA pa...

Introduction The nucleotidases CD39 and CD73 are responsible for the catabolism of pro-inflammatory ATP to AMP, and the consequent dephosphorylation of this nucleotide to regulatory adenosine. CD39 protein has previously been observed to be elevated (1) on JIA (Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis) SFMC (synovial fluid mononuclear cells) with a correspondent increase in ATPase activity, while CD73 has...

Introduction Autoimmune diseases are characterized by an imbalance between regulatory T cells (Treg) and effector T cells (Teff) both in terms of number and function. Our group previously showed that Teff from the site of inflammation (i.e. synovial fluid, SF) of patients affected by Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) are resistant to autologous Treg-mediated suppression irrespective of the so...

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of streptococcal M protein in naturally-occurring CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (nTregs) function and development in rheumatic heart disease in Iraqi patients. Streptococcus pyogenes was isolated for subsequent M protein extraction. Also, peripheral blood nTregs and CD4+ T cells were isolated by using Magnetic Cell Separation System. Tissue cul...

Introduction Because most children with oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (o-JIA) were mildly affected (Steinblocker functional class I, c.a.85%), o-JIA is tend to be thought of as a mild subtype of JIA. However, 6% of them were unable to participate in a full school program 5 years after diagnosis, and 0.5% of children with o-JIA progressed to class III or IV, severe to terminal sta...
