Abstract
Inflammatory T cells are thought to be central to the pathogenesis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. In particular, recent evidence has underlined the importance of a balance between Th17 and Treg cells. Several mechanisms have come to light that control this reciprocal relationship. Moreover, it has been shown that in certain conditions, Th17 cells can shift toward a nonclassic Th1 phenotype. Anti-rheumatic biologic therapies may interfere with these mechanisms and re-establish immune tolerance.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
