چکیده

t cells have been identified as key players in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. however, the exact role of t-cell subpopulations in this pathway is presently unknown. the purpose of this study was to assess the expression pattern of two lineage-specifying transcription factors gata - 3 and t - bet , which are important in t helper type 1 (th1) and th2 cell development , respectively. gene expression analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmcs) was performed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (rt-qpcr). plasma levels of ifn-γ and il-4 were also determined by elisa. t-bet and ifn-γ gene expression was significantly lower in patients group compared with healthy controls ( p <0.05). the expression of gata-3 was relatively similar in patients and controls; however, il-4 mrnas were significantly increased in the pbmcs from patients as compared with normal controls ( p <0.05). in addition, a marked increase in plasma il-4 levels were observed in patient group compared with controls ( p <0.001). to the contrary, ifn-γ protein levels were decreased in patients in comparison with controls ( p <0.001). these data suggest additional implications of the role of th1/th2 imbalance for the immunopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes.

T-helper cell type-1 transcription factor T-bet is upregulated in pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Upregulation of genes for interferon (IFN)-γ and CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)3 expression, two crucial molecules in sarcoid inflammation and granuloma formation, is directly controlled by the T-helper (Th)1 transcription factor T-bet (T-box, expressed in T-cells). However, there is no information on T-bet expression in sarcoidosis or its relationship with "sarcoidosis-associated" genes. Theref...

Follicular helper T cell signature in type 1 diabetes.

The strong genetic association between particular HLA alleles and type 1 diabetes (T1D) indicates a key role for CD4+ T cells in disease; however, the differentiation state of the responsible T cells is unclear. T cell differentiation originally was considered a dichotomy between Th1 and Th2 cells, with Th1 cells deemed culpable for autoimmune islet destruction. Now, multiple additional T cell ...

The Enigma of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type-1 (HTLV-1) Infection in Iran

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-I) was the first human retrovirus associated with malignancy.  The prevalence of HTLV-I infection varies significantly in different regions of the world.  In this study, the prevalence of HTLV-I infection among ethnic Jews living in Shiraz, South of Iran, was investigated. 286 blood samples were obtained.  HTLV-1 antibody assay on serum samples was d...
