Role of LncRNA-AF085935, IL-10 and IL-17 in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C

Abstract: BackgroundThe current study aimed at testing the effect of corticosteroid therapy on serum levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-17 as well as lncRNA-AF085935 in patients of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and evaluating the usefulness of using these parameters to predict the therapeutic efficacy of steroids in these patients.MethodsThirty healthy control subjects and 65 chronic HCV patients with RA were included in our study. Patients were subjected to clinical examination,… Show more

“…47 Pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-6, exert great effects on the development of chronic inflammation and joint destruction. 48,49 In recent years, emerging evidence has supported the crucial role of lncRNA-NR024118 during the inflammatory response of RA. 12 Consistent with our results, Yan et al 50 have demonstrated that lncRNA XIST knockdown could suppress the inflammation in nervous tissues by reducing the levels of TNF-α and IL-6.…”

“…IL-10 is a cytokine with immunosuppression and regulation effects [20], but this has rarely been investigated in RA patients [21,22]. Research using animal RA models showed that IL-10 suppresses the immune response and inflammatory reaction in vivo , and helps to relieve RA symptoms [23,24].…”

“…The role of lncRNAs in HCV-infected patients has overlooked extrahepatic manifestations despite evidence pointing to the contrary. A good example is lncRNA-AF085935, which has been recently described to have potential as an early marker of rheumatoid arthritis [105]. In the liver, few studies have focused on lncRNAs related to HCV-induced fibrosis.…”
