  •  
    EGCG found to reduce cytokine production in animal model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.  Specifically, EGCG reduced interferon gamma, IL017, IL-6, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and decreased Th1 and Th17 cells with an increase in Treg cells.

Cytokine profiles in localized scleroderma and relationship to clinical features - 0 views

  • Evaluation of the literature reveals a Th2 predominant cytokine profile in the biological specimens (sera, PBMCs, and tissue) of those with SSc
  • the literature available from studies in LS show that Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines may contribute equally to the pathogenesis of the disease
  • Classically, Th1 cells have been known to secrete IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α, and are stimulated by IL-2 and IL-12
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Th2 cells have been shown to be activated by IL-4 and produce IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IL-13
  • Th17 cells, a more recently identified Th cell subset that has altered the classic Th1/Th2 paradigm, produce IL-17 A/F, IL-21, and IL-22. IL-1, IL-6, IL-23, and TGF-β are now known to play important roles in the differentiation and propagation of the Th17 cell lineage
  • there is an overall notion that pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17 associated cytokines are elevated during the early stages of scleroderma, whereas Th2 cytokines mainly correlate with disease damage and fibrosis extent
