摘要
Th17细胞已被划分为一个不同于Th1、Th2和Treg的新的T细胞亚群,以分泌IL-17为主要特征。Th17在防御胞外细菌感染、介导慢性炎症和自身免疫性疾病的发病机制中发挥重要作用。炎症性肠病属于自身免疫性疾病的一种,免疫调节紊乱是其发病的关键因素。免疫学和基因学的发现表明Th17及Th17效应因子在炎症性肠病发病机理中起重要作用。对Th17的进一步深入研究可以加深我们对相关疾病发病机制的认识并指导临床治疗。
T helper 17(Th17) cells,a newly classified T cell subset,characterized by the production of IL-17,play crucial roles in the defense of extracellular bacterial infections,the mediated chronic inflammation and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) is an autoimmune disease,whose key pathogenic factor is immune regulation disturbance.Evidences suggest that Th17 and its effectors play an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD.Thus further investigation of Th17 could reveal the pathogenesis of related diseases and guide the clinical treatment.
