Expression and Function of IL12/23 Related Cytokine Subunits (p35, p40, and p19) in Giant-Cell Arteritis Lesions: Contribution of p40 to Th1- and Th17-Mediated Inflammatory Pathways
Abstract
Background: Giant-cell arteritis (GCA) is considered a T helper (Th)1 and Th17-mediated disease. Interleukin (IL)-12 is a heterodimeric cytokine (p35/p40) involved in Th1 differentiation. When combining with p19 subunit, p40 compose IL-23, a powerful pro-inflammatory cytokine that maintains Th17 response. Objectives: The aims of this study were: to investigate p40, p35 and p19 subunit expression in GCA lesions and their combinations to conform...
