Behçet's disease (BD) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. Interleukin-28A (IL-28A) promotes immune responses and may participate in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. To examine the role of IL-28A in the pathogenesis of BD, we measured the expression of IFN-γ and IL-17 by IL-28A-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 19 patients with BD and 16 healthy individuals. We found that IFN-γ and IL-17 were undetectable in the sera from BD patients and control subjects. The mRNA expression and protein production of IFN-γ by IL-28A-stimulated PBMCs from BD patients were significantly increased compared to healthy individuals. No significant difference was observed in the mRNA expression and protein production of IL-17 by IL-28A-stimulated PBMCs between BD patients and normal individuals.
贝赫切特病(BD)是一种病因不明的自身免疫性疾病。白细胞介素-28A(IL-28A)促进免疫反应,可能参与自身免疫性疾病的发病机制。为了研究 IL-28A 在 BD 发病机制中的作用,我们测量了 19 例 BD 患者和 16 例健康个体的 IL-28A 刺激外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中 IFN-γ 和 IL-17 的表达。我们发现 BD 患者和对照组患者的血清中均无法检测到 IFN-γ 和 IL-17。与健康个体相比,BD 患者经 IL-28A 刺激的 PBMC 中 IFN-γ 的 mRNA 表达和蛋白产物显著增加。经 IL-28A 刺激的 PBMC 中 IL-17 的 mRNA 表达和蛋白产物在 BD 患者与正常个体之间无显著差异。
