概括
系统性硬化症 (SSc) 患者的IN-35 (IL-35) 水平较低,这与疾病的严重程度相关. 重组IL-35显示抗炎作用,表明其作为SSc.治疗点的潜力.
科学领域:
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 类风湿病学 类风湿病学
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 系统性硬化症 (SSc) 是一种复杂的自身免疫性疾病,其特征是纤维化和血管异常.
- 特定的细胞因子,如INTERLEUKIN-35 (IL-35) 在SSc病原发生中的作用仍然不完全理解.
- 了解SSc中的免疫失调对于开发有效的治疗策略至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究系统性硬化症患者IL-35的水平和功能.
- 探索IL-35,T细胞反应和SSc.中的疾病严重程度标志物之间的关系.
- 评估IL-35作为SSc治疗点的潜力.
主要方法:
- 与酶相关的免疫吸收试验 (ELISA) 用于测量SSc患者和健康捐赠者的血IL-35,TGF-β和IL-17水平.
- 使用流式细胞计量来评估IL-35受体 (IL-35R) 在各种免疫细胞群中的表达.
- 再组合IL-35 (rIL-35) 被添加到刺激的外周血液单核细胞 (PBMC) 和Treg:Tresponder共同培养试验中,以评估其免疫调节作用.
主要成果:
- 与HD患者相比,SSc患者的IL-35度在血中显著降低 (52.1 ± 5.6对143 ± 11.1,p < 0.001).
- IL-35水平与TGF-β (p < 0.001) 和IL-17 (p = 0.04) 有负相关性,与疾病严重程度 (mRSS,p = 0.004) 有正相关性.
- 在实验室中,rIL-35抑制了IL-17A和TGF-β的产生,并减少了T细胞的增殖,显示出抗炎性质.
结论:
- IL-35在全身性硬化症中起着重要的免疫调节作用.
- 在SSc患者中降低IL-35水平与增加的炎症性细胞因子和疾病严重程度有关.
- IL-35具有抗炎性质,是SSc.的潜在治疗标.

T Cell Types and Functions
1.1K
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.

Inflammatory Response
2.2K
An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway
9.0K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as SH2...
