Abstract
This study investigates the frequency and numbers of circulating helper innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in untreated relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients, focusing on intracellular IL-10 and CCR6 expressions under IL-2, IL-33, and retinoic acid (RA) stimulation in vitro and their associations with clinical features in RRMS. In RRMS patients, ILC1 levels were notably higher upon IL-2 + IL-33 + RA stimulation, while ILC2 levels, particularly the c-Kit+ ILC2 and CCR6+ ILC2 subsets, were significantly lower compared to unstimulated conditions. Additionally, IL-10+ ILC1 levels were elevated. The ratios of IL-10+ ILC1/ILC1, c-Kit+ ILC2/c-Kit− ILC2, and CCR6+ ILC2/ILC2 were associated with the progression index (PI) in RRMS patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuroimmunology affords a forum for the publication of works applying immunologic methodology to the furtherance of the neurological sciences. Studies on all branches of the neurosciences, particularly fundamental and applied neurobiology, neurology, neuropathology, neurochemistry, neurovirology, neuroendocrinology, neuromuscular research, neuropharmacology and psychology, which involve either immunologic methodology (e.g. immunocytochemistry) or fundamental immunology (e.g. antibody and lymphocyte assays), are considered for publication.
