T helper type 1 lymphocytes drive inflammation in human atherosclerotic lesions.
Atherosclerotic lesions are infiltrated by macrophages and T lymphocytes, potentially reactive to pathogens. We studied in vivo activated T lymphocytes that infiltrate atherosclerotic plaques of Helicobacter pylori-infected patients with or without anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae antibodies. In all atherosclerotic lesions, T helper type 1 (Th1) cells were predominant. C. pneumoniae-specific T cells w...
متن کاملImmunotherapeutic effects of pentoxifylline in type 1 diabetic mice and its role in the response of T-helper lymphocytes
Objective(s):Pentoxifylline is an immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory agent and is used in vascular disorders. It has been shown that pentoxifylline inhibits proinflammatory [d1] cytokines production. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of pentoxifylline on the treatment of autoimmune diabetes in mice. Materials and Methods: Diabetes was induced by multiple l...
متن کاملInduction of ocular inflammation by T-helper lymphocytes type 2.
PURPOSE Sight-damaging ocular inflammation is often mediated by T-helper (Th) lymphocytes. The population of Th cells is divided into two major subsets, designated Th1 and Th2, that differ by their cytokine production and biological activities. In the present study, the capacity of Th1 and Th2 cells to induce ocular inflammation was examined. METHODS Ocular inflammation was induced in transge...
متن کاملt-helper cell type-1 transcription factor t-bet is down-regulated in type 1 diabetes
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 e...
