T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

1.8K
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Cells of the Adaptive Immune Response01:23

Cells of the Adaptive Immune Response

7.6K
The T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system develop from common lymphoid progenitor cells in the bone marrow. These progenitors give rise to precursors that eventually develop into both T and B lymphocytes. As these precursors mature, they gain the ability to detect and respond to foreign antigens in the body, a process known as immunocompetence. Additionally, these precursors acquire self-tolerance, a process that ensures they do not react to self-antigens. This intricate system...

Inflammatory Response I: Vascular and Cellular

15.0K
The inflammatory response is the body's defense against infection, injury, or irritation from bacteria, trauma, toxins, or heat. Inflammation helps locate and destroy pathogens and remove damaged tissue elements to heal the body. During this initial phase, fluid, blood products, and nutrients migrate to the injured area, resulting in redness, heat, swelling, ache, and loss of function. Moreover, signs of systemic inflammation include fever, increased WBC count, malaise, anorexia, nausea,...

Cells of the Innate Immune Response

8.2K
The innate immune response is an immediate and non-specific response against pathogens, acting swiftly to prevent the spread of infections. The primary cells involved in this response are phagocytes and natural killer (NK) cells.
Phagocytes
Phagocytes police the peripheral tissues by removing cellular debris and responding to the invasion of foreign substances or pathogens. Many phagocytes attack and remove microorganisms even before lymphocytes detect them. The human body has two general...

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues01:18

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues

2.5K
Lymphoid cells and tissues are integral to the immune system, which is crucial in maintaining our body's defense against harmful pathogens. They form the building blocks of lymphoid organs, which include the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes.
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Inflammatory arthritis (IA) encompasses chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
  • IA pathogenesis involves autoimmune-mediated joint inflammation driven by inflammatory cytokine networks.
  • Innate lymphocytes, specifically innate-like lymphocytes (ILLs) and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), are crucial in initiating immune responses against self-antigens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on the phenotypes, cytokine production, and functions of ILLs and ILCs in IA.
  • To highlight the involvement of various cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-17A, IL-22) secreted by these cells in IA.
  • To provide insights for developing effective clinical treatments for IA patients.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article, synthesizing existing research.
  • Focuses on analyzing literature regarding ILL and ILC characteristics in the context of IA.
  • Examines the documented roles of specific cytokines produced by these innate lymphocytes.

Main Results:

  • ILLs and ILCs are implicated in the early stages of IA development.
  • These cells rapidly produce significant amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines upon stimulation.
  • Key cytokines like TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-17A, and IL-22, along with Th2-related cytokines and GM-CSF, are involved in IA pathogenesis and secreted by ILLs/ILCs.

Conclusions:

  • A deeper understanding of ILL and ILC roles in IA initiation and progression is essential.
  • Targeting ILLs and ILCs may represent a promising therapeutic avenue for managing IA.
  • Further research into these innate lymphocyte populations can lead to novel treatment strategies for patients with inflammatory arthritis.
