Endemic pemphigus foliaceus (EPF) is an autoimmune disease characterized by blister formation with a loss of cohesion and infiltration of inflammatory cells. We observed that supernatants of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients produced significantly more interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) than those from stimulated healthy controls. Furthermore, a Th2 bias was observed in EPF patients when the IL-5/gamma interferon ratio was analyzed. These results indicate that cells from pemphigus patients react with a vigorous proinflammatory response.
地方性落叶性天疱疮(EPF)是一种自身免疫性疾病,其特征为形成水疱,伴有细胞黏附丧失和炎性细胞浸润。我们观察到,患者外周血单核细胞的上清液产生的白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)明显多于受刺激的健康对照者。此外,分析IL-5/γ干扰素比值时,在EPF患者中观察到Th2偏向。这些结果表明,天疱疮患者的细胞会产生强烈的促炎反应。
