abstract

sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disorder of unidentified etiology, with a heterogeneous clinical presentation. it is characterized by a reduced delayed-type hypersensitivity to tuberculin and common antigens. the balance between th1, th17 and regulatory t(treg) cells controls t-cell proliferation and activation.the th17/treg ratio in the peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluidis increased in patients with active sarcoidosis. amplified il-17a expression in granulomas and the presence of il-17a + , il-17a + il-4 + and il-17a + ifn-γ + memory t helper cells in the circulation and bal indicate th17 cell involvement in granuloma induction and/or maintenance in sarcoidosis. sarcoidosis should therefore be considered as a th1/th17 multisystem disorder and anti-il-17/th17 approaches that control and reduce il-17amay be an option, therefore, for the treatment of sarcoidosis.here we provide a short overview as to the role of th17 cells as critical cells in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis.

P 51: The Role of T Helper 17 in Pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) which causes demyelination of the nerve fibers. The etiology of this disease is not well understood but it is believed that T helpers play a central role in MS. Numerous findings support the view that Th17 cells play an essential role in pathogenesis of MS and IL-17 secreting T (Th17) cells have a role in infla...

The Special Relationship in the Development and Function of T Helper 17 and Regulatory T Cells.

T helper 17 (Th17) cells play an essential role in the clearance of extracellular pathogenic bacteria and fungi. However, this subset is critically involved in the pathology of many autoimmune diseases, e.g., psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, allergy, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel diseases in humans. Therefore, Th17 responses need to be tightly regulated in vivo to mediate effective...
