IL-17A Promotes RANTES Expression, But Not IL-16, in Orbital Fibroblasts Via CD40-CD40L Combination in Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy
10 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This present study aims to investigate the phenotype of IL-17A-producing T cells in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) and the role of IL-17A on RANTES and IL-16 expression in orbital fibroblasts (OFs) from TAO patients. METHODS: Blood samples were obtained from TAO patients and healthy controls and were subjected to ELISA and flow cytometry analysis. Primary human OFs cultured from surgical wastes...
