Decreased indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase activity and IL-10/IL-17A ratio in patients with COPD.
RATIONALE Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) induces generation of regulatory T cells but suppresses Th17 cells and therefore might attenuate neutrophilic inflammation. The role of IDO in neutrophilic airway diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unknown. We evaluated IDO activity and expression and interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-17A levels in sputum from patients with...
متن کاملSimvastatin Suppresses Airway IL-17 and Upregulates IL-10 in Patients With Stable COPD
BACKGROUND Statins have immunomodulatory properties that may provide beneficial effects in the treatment of COPD. We investigated whether a statin improves the IL-17/IL-10 imbalance in patients with COPD, as has previously been demonstrated in patients with asthma. METHODS Thirty patients with stable COPD were recruited to a double-blind, randomized, controlled, crossover trial comparing the ...
متن کاملIncreased IL-17A in Atrial Fibrillation Correlates with Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio
Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and an independent risk factor for stroke among the elderly. A role for inflammation in the atrial remodeling as well as development and recurrence of AF is known. Objective: To compare IL-17A between patients with different types of AF and healthy individuals. Methods: IL-17A was measured in sera of 112 patients and 107...
متن کاملIncreased IL-17A but Decreased IL-27 Serum Levels in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Effector CD4+ T cell subsets play an important role in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Interleukin-27 (IL-27) suppresses Th (Th1, Th2 and Th17) cells and dampens autoimmunity and tissue inflammation by promoting the generation of Type 1 regulatory T cells (Tr1). Objective: To identify the relative levels of IL-27 and IL-17A in MS disease. Method: In a case-control study, venous blood was c...
متن کاملSerum levels of IL-17A increase in Asthma but not in accordance with Serum level of IgE and Asthma Severity
Background and Aims: Recent evidence suggests that T helper (Th) 17 cells are involved in the emergence of asthma. Th17 cells have a key role in inducing inflammation in asthmatic airways thus Interleukin (IL)-17A, the main cytokine of Th17, contributes to airways inflammation. Materials and Methods: We evaluated the level of IL-17A and total immunoglobulin E (IgE) in sera of 100 asthmatic p...
