چکیده

objective(s): systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) is a multi-factorial autoimmune disease which may be characterized by t lymphocytes dysfunctions. th17 cells have been identified as new effector cells, which play an important role in the pathogenesis. in recent years, immunomodulatory effect of vitamin d3 has been noticed. in the present experiment, the effect of vitamin d3 on the expression of il-17, il-23, il-4 and ifn-γ were assessed in activated chromatin-induced mouse model for sle. materials and methods: five groups of mice were included in this study; group one received active chromatin +cfa + pbs; group 2 received vitamin d3  starting 2 weeks before disease induction; group 3 received vitamin d3 (50 ng/day) starting with the disease establishment; group 4 received non active chromatin +cfa + pbs; group 5 received cfa + pbs. on day 56 splenocytes were isolated and gene expression of interleukin il-17, il-23, il-4 and ifn-γ were analyzed by real-time pcr method. proteinuria and serum anti-dsdna and th17 levels were measured using commercial kits. results: the results showed that il-17, il-23, and ifn-γ mrna expression, and il-17 titers were decreased remarkably and that of il-4 increased in mice which received vitamin d3 before sle induction. administration of vitamin d3 after the establishment of sle failed to affect the il-17 or il-23 mrna levels. lastly, pre-treatment of mice with vitamin d3 decreased the anti-ds dna antibody titer. conclusion: our findings showed that vitamin d3 supplementation in lupus induced mice through modulating the expression rate of some inflammatory cytokines diminished the inflammatory conditions in sle.

Cytokines (IL-17, IL-23, and IL-33) in Systemic lupus erythematosus in Trinidad and Tobago.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most common autoimmune disease. It is characterized by the presence of hundreds of autoantibodies against many organs and tissues, including the presence of a large number of autoantibodies, which are specific to self-antigens mainly of nuclear origin such as Smith antigen, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), anti-Sjögren’s syndrome-related antigen A and B (SS...

IL-2, IL-5, TNF-α and IFN-γ mRNA expression in epidermal keratinocytes of systemic lupus erythematosus skin lesions

OBJECTIVE To analyze cytokine gene expression in keratinocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). INTRODUCTION Keratinocytes represent 95% of epidermal cells and can secrete several cytokines. METHODS Keratinocytes were obtained by laser microdissection from 21 patients with SLE (10 discoid and 11 acute lesions) at involved and uninvolved sites. All patients were receivi...

Influence of 1 Alpha, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on T Helper 17 Cells and Related Cytokines in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease. Emerging data suggests that T helper 17 (Th17) cells play a pathogenic role in SLE and the increased number of these cells correlates with disease activity. In recent years, 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25VitD3) has been considered as an immunomodulatory factor. Objective: To investigate the effect of 1,25VitD3...
