th17, intestinal microbiota and the abnormal immune response in the pathogenesis of celiac disease
celiac disease (cd) is an autoimmune enteropathy induced by the ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals who carry the hla dq2 or dq8 alleles. the etiology is multifactorial involving genetic and environmental factors, immune response, and intestinal dysbiosis. the innate and acquired t-cell mediated immunity play important roles in the pathogenesis of this disease, particular...
متن کاملCXCR3 mediates renal Th1 and Th17 immune response in murine lupus nephritis.
Infiltration of T cells into the kidney is a typical feature of human and experimental lupus nephritis that contributes to renal tissue injury. The chemokine receptor CXCR3 is highly expressed on Th1 cells and is supposed to be crucial for their trafficking into inflamed tissues. In this study, we explored the functional role of CXCR3 using the MRL/MpJ-Fas(lpr) (MRL/lpr) mouse model of systemic...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of the Th17 immune response by IKKα
Th17 cells are a subset of T cells that play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases. We report here the identification of IKKα (inhibitor of NF-κB kinase-α) as a key transcriptional regulator of the Th17 lineage. T cells expressing a nonactivatable form of IKKα were significantly compromised in their ability to produce IL-17 and to initiate neural inflammation. IKKα is ...
متن کاملTh17 immune response in IBD: A new pathogenic mechanism.
Although traditionally associated with exaggerated Th1 or Th2 cell response, the gut inflammation occurring in patients with IBD is also characterized by production of cytokines made by a distinct lineage of T helper cells, termed Th17 cells. The discovery that this new inflammatory T-cell subset drives immune-mediated pathology and that the antigen-presenting cell-derived IL-23 is necessary fo...
متن کاملHyperoxia promotes polarization of the immune response in ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation, leading to a TH17 cell phenotype
Previous studies have demonstrated that hyperoxia-induced stress and oxidative damage to the lungs of mice lead to an increase in IL-6, TNF-α, and TGF-β expression. Together, IL-6 and TGF-β have been known to direct T cell differentiation toward the TH17 phenotype. In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that hyperoxia promotes the polarization of T cells to the TH17 cell phenotype in re...
