Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a pediatric vasculitis that can result in coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) formation, which is a dangerous complication. Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) significantly decreases the risk of CAA, possibly through competitive binding to Fc-gamma receptors (FcRs), which reduces the binding of pathological immune complexes. However, ~20% of children have recrudescence of fever and have an increased risk of CAA.

Article Synopsis
  • The IL-12/23 signaling pathway is crucial in the development of psoriasis, and treatments targeting it can sometimes fail to provide sufficient responses.
  • The study aimed to analyze how mRNAs and miRNAs related to this pathway behave in cultured human keratinocytes when exposed to lipopolysaccharide A (LPS) and then treated with adalimumab.
  • Results showed that adalimumab significantly impacted the expression of specific genes and their interactions, particularly enhancing the expression of JAK3 and related miRNAs while silencing SOCS3 and IL-6 after LPS exposure.

However, the importance of environmental factors and lifestyle choices, such as the diet, alcohol consumption, and smoking, is increasing.
