“…The local hypoxia in SSc skin Brought to you by | MIT Libraries Authenticated Download Date | 5/10/18 7:11 PM measured by a polarographic oxygen microelectrode system is linked with raised levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In situ IL-4, IL-17 and MCP-1 expression were closely related to the extent of fi brosis in SSc skin and lungs [44]. Other studies reported increased in situ mRNA expression of IL-17, IL-21, IL-33 and IFN-α in SSc skin compared to healthy individuals.…”

“…Moreover, this CD8 + T cell population was dependent on a transcription factor GATA-3, as silencing of GATA-3 with small interfering RNA signifi cantly reduced IL-13 production by CD8 + T cells, demonstrating a causal relationship between GATA-3 and IL-13 [44]. The data suggest that GATA-3 could be a novel therapeutic target in SSc, as inhibition of the central transcription factor would inhibit differentiation of naïve T cells to Th2-polarized T cells and thus diminished production of pro-fi brotic mediators and inhibit already differentiated Th2 cells from secreting IL-13 directly after differentiation.…”

“…It has been revealed that T lymphocytes are linked to bone deterioration via IL-17 production in rheumatoid arthritis 24 . IL-17 has been demonstrated to activate epithelial, endothelial, and broblastic cells to produce IL-6, IL-8, and PGE2 52 . In addition, IL-17 stimulates RANKL production by osteoblasts 53 .…”

“…Although the exact role of IL-17 in fibrinogenesis remains controversial (ie. : trans-differentiation of human fibroblast into myofibroblast, collagen synthesis), Th17 cells and IL-17 production were found to be elevated in the peripheral blood, skin, and lungs from SSc patients, and to participate in and exacerbate early inflammatory responses [74][75][76]. Restoration of the Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg cytokine balance is an important goal of therapy.…”
