概括
随着类风湿性关节炎 (RA) 疾病活动的增加,介素-38 (IL-38) 水平下降. 较低的IL-38表达与较高的炎症和RA患者的疾病严重程度相关,这表明IL-38是潜在的治疗点.
科学领域:
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 类风湿病学 类风湿病学
背景情况:
- 类风湿性关节炎 (RA) 是一种慢性自身免疫性疾病,其病因不明.
- 在RA中抗炎细胞因子介素-38 (IL-38) 的作用尚未完全理解.
研究的目的:
- 调查IL-38水平与RA中的疾病活性之间的相关性.
- 探索IL-38在RA表现中的临床相关性.
主要方法:
- 对63名以前没有接受过治疗的RA患者和60名健康对照者的横截面研究.
- 使用ELISA进行IL-38,TNF,IL-6,IL-17,IL-1β和25(OH) D的评估.
- 相关的IL-38与疾病活性得分 (DAS28-CRP,CDAI,SDAI) 和临床参数 (TJC,SJC,持续时间,MSUS).
主要成果:
- 与对照组相比,RA患者显示IL-38,TNF,IL-6,IL-17和IL-1β的增加.
- 随着RA疾病活性 (LDA,MDA,HDA) 的增加,IL-38表达减少.
- 在IL-38和促炎性细胞因子 (IL-6,IL-17) 之间发现了逆相关性,疾病持续时间,SJC,TJC和DAS28-CRP.
结论:
- IL-38与RA的病变发生有关.
- IL-38的表达与RA中的疾病活性和炎症相反相关.

T Cell Types and Functions
1.0K
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.

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway
8.9K
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...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF
137
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 Response
2.0K
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,...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Immunomodulatory Agents
166
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder marked by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. Various treatment strategies for Crohn's disease are employed, such as immunomodulatory agents, glucocorticoids, and biologics or anti-TNF therapy. Azathioprine (Imuran), a commonly used immunomodulatory drug for Crohn's disease, is converted in the body to mercaptopurine, which inhibits purine biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Both are utilized in severe cases of Inflammatory Bowel...
