High intestinal and systemic levels of interleukin-23/T-helper 17 pathway in Chinese patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Interleukin-23/T-helper 17 (IL-23/Th17) pathway plays a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but little is known about its expression in Chinese population. In this study, we investigated the mRNA and protein levels of IL-12p40, tumor necrosis factor-like cytokine 1A (TL1A), Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), and IL-23R both locally and systemically in Chinese IBD patients. Our results indicated that the mRNA levels of IL-12p40 and TL1A were increased in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Furthermore, serum IL-12p40 and TL1A levels were higher in active UC patients, especially in patients with disease course less than 1.25 years or initial onset. No correlation was found between the genotype and serum levels of IL-12p40 or TL1A in UC patients. Additionally, the mRNA and protein expression of JAK2 and IL-23R were increased in UC and Crohn's disease (CD) patients. Taken together, our results provided evidence that IL-23/Th17 pathway genes may represent important biomarkers of active stage of IBD and serve as novel therapeutic targets for IBD in Chinese population.

Background: The characterization of physiological immune signatures in a population-based cohort is a prerequisite for identifying pathological immune signatures associated with inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.
Methods: Here, 47 plasma cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors were quantified with a bead-based multiplex-assay (Merck HCYTA-60 K) using a FLEXMAP 3D™ instrument in 1175 individuals of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP; TREND cohort, 532 men and 643 women, age: 20 to 81, BMI: 17.7 to 53.

Background: Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare but fatal neurological syndrome resulting from persistent measles virus infection in the central nervous system. Despite the availability of a measles vaccine, SSPE continues to pose a significant health burden, and immunogenetic risk factors remain unclear. We aimed to study the role of the interleukin 12 (IL-12)/interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) axis, known for it's significance in antiviral defense, in the development of SSPE.

Background: Early-life inflammation has long been recognised as a key pathophysiological process in the evolution of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. Despite this, no CF-specific anti-inflammatory treatments have been developed. This is crucial even in the era of highly effective modulator therapy as recent evidence suggests that modulators alter, but may not fully resolve, pulmonary inflammation.
