MicroRNA-19b exacerbates systemic sclerosis through promoting Th9 cells
29 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and multiple vital organs, but the immunological pathogenesis of SSc remains unclear. We show here that miR-19b promotes Th9 cells that exacerbate SSc. Specifically, miR-19b and interleukin (IL)-9 increase in CD4 + T cells in experimental SSc in mice induced with bleomycin. Inhibiting miR-19b reduces Th9 cells and...
