Differential mucosal expression of Th17-related genes between the inflamed colon and ileum of patients with inflammatory bowel disease
1 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Immunological and genetic findings implicate Th17 effector cytokines in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Expression of Th17 pathway-associated genes is mainly studied in colonic disease. The present study assessed the mRNA expression levels of Th17 effector cytokines (IL17A, IL17F, IL21, IL22 and IL26) and genes involved in differentiation (IL6, IL1B, TGFB1, IL23A and STAT3) and...
