Lymphoid Cells and Tissues01:18

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues

3.4K
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...

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

3.2K
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...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF01:24

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

897
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.6K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Crohn's Disease

69
Crohn’s disease is a chronic, relapsing form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by segmental, transmural inflammation that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Its pathogenesis arises from a combination of genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and immune dysregulation. Together, these factors lead to an exaggerated immune response against components of the gut microbiome.Genetic and Environmental InfluencesMultiple genetic...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease IV: Clinical Manifestations

64
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses two major chronic disorders—ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease—each characterized by relapsing episodes of gastrointestinal inflammation. Although they share certain clinical features, their patterns of involvement and manifestations differ in ways that aid diagnosis and guide management.Ulcerative ColitisUlcerative colitis is limited to the colon and rectum and involves continuous inflammation of the mucosal layer. The...

    Summary

    This study found no differences in circulating T and B lymphocyte subpopulations in Crohn's disease patients compared to controls. Total lymphocyte counts were only reduced in active, non-steroid-treated Crohn's disease patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Understanding immune cell involvement is crucial for Crohn's disease research.
    • Previous studies have yielded conflicting results regarding lymphocyte subpopulations in Crohn's disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate circulating lymphocyte subpopulations in patients with Crohn's disease.
    • To compare T-cell (helper and suppressor) and B-cell levels in Crohn's disease patients versus controls.
    • To determine if lymphocyte abnormalities correlate with disease activity or treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Enumeration of circulating lymphocytes using rosetting assays.
    • Immunofluorescent staining with monoclonal antibodies (OKT3, OKT4, OKT8) and antisera for B cells.

  • Comparison of lymphocyte counts and subpopulations between 28 Crohn's disease patients and 12 control patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Total lymphocyte counts were reduced only in active, non-steroid-treated Crohn's disease patients.
    • No significant differences were observed in monocyte counts, peripheral T and B cell proportions, or T-cell subclass numbers between groups.
    • Helper to suppressor T-cell ratios were comparable across all subjects and did not correlate with disease parameters.

    Conclusions:

    • The study found no evidence of underlying abnormalities in circulating lymphocyte subpopulations in Crohn's disease.
    • Lymphocyte counts may be affected in active Crohn's disease, but specific subpopulations appear normal in circulation.
    • Further research into lymphocyte subclasses within affected tissues is warranted for a comprehensive understanding.
