Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and Th17 cells were found to expand in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) significantly. Two subsets of MDSC, polymorphonuclear (PMN) and mononuclear (MO), were detected and their ratios varied during the development of CIA. The depletion of MDSC in vivo resulted in suppression of T-cell proliferation and decreased IL-17A and IL-1β production. The adoptive transfer of MDSC restored the severity of arthritis and Th17 cell differentiation. The depletion of MDSCs on day 35 resulted in arthritis amelioration without reaching a significant difference. Furthermore, MDSCs from CIA mice had higher production of IL-1β and promoted Th17 cell differentiation. The expansion of MDSCs in the peripheral blood of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients was in correlation with increased Th17 cells and disease activity DAS28. These results support the hypothesis that MDSC may play a significant proinflammatory role in the pathogenesis of CIA and RA by inducing Th17 development in an IL-1β-dependent manner.

Solid organ transplantation has significantly improved the survival rate of patients with terminal organ failure. However, its success is often compromised by allograft rejection, a process in which T helper 17 (Th17) cells play a crucial role. These cells facilitate rejection by enhancing neutrophil infiltration into the graft and by activating endothelial cells and fibroblasts.

Article Synopsis
- Podophyllotoxin has potential clinical benefits, such as anticancer effects, but its toxicity limits its use in medicine.
- The research involved creating a rat model to study how podophyllotoxin damages ovaries, revealing symptoms like diarrhea and bruising, alongside significant biochemical and pathological changes.
- The study found that podophyllotoxin's toxicity is linked to alterations in autophagy, specifically through the AMPK/TSC1/mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway, providing new insights for its clinical application.

Patients suffering from psoriatic arthritis (PsA) often experience depression due to chronic joint pain, which significantly hinders their recovery process. However, the relationship between these two conditions is not well understood. Through a review of existing studies, we revealed that certain neuroendocrine hormones and neurotransmitters are involved in the neuroimmune interactions related to both PsA and depression.

Localized provoked vulvodynia (LPV), also called vulvar vestibulitis or provoked vestibulodynia, is a major cause of dyspareunia that severely impacts sexual health. At the tissue level, lymphocytic inflammation and hyperinnervation are characteristic pathological features, explaining the main symptoms and signs. A recent experimental animal study suggests that the histopathological findings of LPV may be due to mucosal CD4 Th17 immune responses to microbial antigens.
