Characterization of peripheral T helper 17 (Th17) cells phenotype in postmenopausal women with estrogen insufficiency.

Abstract excerpt

Over the past few years, Th17 cells is considered a key player in osteoporosis pathogenesis. Although extensively studied in murine models, comprehensive Th17 cell characterization in osteoporotic women is elusive. We thus aimed to examine peripheral Th17 cells frequency and phenotypes in healthy and osteoporotic women. Our results demonstrated that Th17 cells were primarily CD4+CD45RA-CCR7-HALDR+CCR6lowT-cells....
