Abstract

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is expressed in the synovium T cells of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This cytokine is implicated in the inflammation and destruction of the joint. However, the role of IL-17 on the production of vascular endothelial factor (VEGF) important to synovial proliferation has still not been identified. In this study, we investigated the effect on cultured rheumatoid fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) of the IL-17 on the production and expression of VEGF, which play an important role in angiogenesis in rheumatoid synovium. IL-17 increased the production of VEGF dose dependently and the mRNA expression of VEGF. These results suggest that IL-17 might influence angiogenesis in RA by up-regulating the expression of VEGF in rheumatoid FLS.

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
