“…Interleukin (IL)-6, RANTES (CCL8), and IL-18 serum concentrations have been found to be higher during the active phase of TA patients than in patients in remission and in healthy control subjects, correlating closely with the disease activity [2][3][4]. Although IL-12 along with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-␣, IFN-␥, and IL-2 levels were not found to be different between the groups in the above-mentioned study, significantly increased levels of IL-12 were observed more recently in patients with active TA, indicating that the proinflammatory and Th1 polarizing IL-12 might be an important mediator of inflammation in TA [5].…”

“…A TA patogenezisében ugyanakkor felmerül a humorális immunválasz szerepe is, a Takayasu-betegek többségében endothelsejt-ellenes antitesteket mutattak ki [17], amelyek az endothelialis gyulladá-sos citokinek, adhéziós molekulák termelődésének serkentésével fokozzák az erek destrukcióját [18]. A vascularis laesiókban leírták az IL-6, IL-12, IL-18, E-szelektin, VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 -vascularis sejtadhéziós molekula-1), ICAM-1 (inter cellular cell adhesion molecule-1 -intercelluláris sejtadhéziós molekula-1) szintjének szignifikáns emelkedését [19][20][21][22], valamint remisszióban levő páciensekkel összehasonlítva aktív TA-betegben a tumornekrózis-faktor-alfa (TNF-α) emelkedését és csökkent IL-2-szintet [23].…”

“…Secondly, TNF-α is upregulated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells [21] and an increased TNF-α serum concentration [22] is seen in patients with TA compared to healthy controls. CD3 + T cells from patients with active disease have higher TNF-α production compared to patients in remission or to healthy controls [23]. Lastly, in preliminary studies, anti-TNF therapy has been successfully employed in patients with TA refractory to other immunosuppressive therapies [24].…”
