inflammation is an important reaction underlying lumbar disc herniation (ldh). th17 cells play a critical role in immune activation. interleukin (il)-21 controls the functional activity of effector t-helper cells and the differentiation of th17 cells, and promotes b-cell differentiation. it plays important roles in chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. however, little is known about rel...

background il-33 is a novel member of the il-1 family, which has been shown to play an important role in t helper 2 (th2)-associated immune responses. recent studies have suggested a possible role for il-33 in the pathogenesis of liver damage during acute and chronic hepatitis; furthermore, il-33 may be involved in the development and progression of liver fibrosis. objectives to evaluate serum ...

objective: th17 cells are known to be involved in some types of inflammations and autoimmune disorders. rorc2 is the key transcription factor coordinating th17 cell differentiation. thus, blocking rorc2 may be useful in suppressing th17-dependent inflammatory processes. the aim was to silence rorc2 by specific sirnas in naïve t cells differentiating to th17. time-dependent expression of rorc2 a...
