Th22 Cells Form a Distinct Th Lineage from Th17 Cells In Vitro with Unique Transcriptional Properties and Tbet-Dependent Th1 Plasticity

Human Th17 cells comprise heterogeneous subsets including IFN-gamma-producing cells with distinct properties from the Th1 lineage.

Th17 cells have been named after their signature cytokine IL-17 and accumulating evidence indicates their involvement in the induction and progression of inflammatory diseases. In addition to IL-17 single-producing T cells, IL-17/IFN-gamma double-positive T cells are found in significantly elevated numbers in inflamed tissues or blood from patients with chronic inflammatory disorders. Because I...

Human Th17 Cells Comprise Heterogeneous Subsets Including IFN-g–Producing Cells with Distinct Properties from the Th1 Lineage

The Alteration and Clinical Significance of Th22/Th17/Th1 Cells in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

T helper- (Th-) cell immunodeficiency plays important roles in tumor development and their effects in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) remain unclear. In the present study, we mainly investigated the role of Th22, Th17, and Th1 cell and their related cytokines (IL-22, IL-17, and IFN-r) in the pathophysiology of CML. Bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) were extracted from newly diagnosed (N...

مروری بر نقش زیرگروه‌های لنفوسیت‌های T در پاتوژنز بیماری مولتیپل اسکلروزیس

Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Although, the contribution of various cells such as  B cells, CD8+ T cells, microglia/macrophages, dendritic cells, asterocytes and mast cells in the pathogenesis of MS have been demonstrated, however, it seems that autoreactive myelin specific CD4+ T cells pla...

Elevated profiles of Th22 cells and correlations with Th17 cells in patients with immune thrombocytopenia.

T-helper (Th) 22 and Th17 cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. However, the role of Th22 cells in the pathophysiology of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) remains unclear. Th22, Th17 and Th1 cells in both ITP patients and healthy controls were examined by flow cytometry. Plasma interleukin-22 (IL-22) level was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Signal...
