MicroRNA as Regulator of the Th17 Inflammation in Behcet's disease
… of miRNAs in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. To date, microRNA-155 (miR-155) is one of the most highly implicated miRNAs in autoimmunity. Behcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic inflammatory disease with autoimmune nature, characterized by oral and genital ulcers and ocular inflammation. …

Altered Expression of Costimulatory Molecules in Behcet's Disease According to Clinical Activity
BACKGROUND: Behcet's Disease disease (BD) is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder. Several reports have suggested that autoimmunity, more precisely, failure to control autoreactive immune cells in the periphery may play a crucial role in BD. To produce a balanced immune response, key inhibitory …

cDNA microarray Analysis Identifies Symptom-Associated Chemokine Genes in Behcet's Disease Mouse Model
Behcet's disease(BD), a chronic inflammatory disease, is characterized by intraocular inflammation, oral ulcers, genital ulcers, skin lesions and additional accompanying changes. A developing aspect of BD is reached until eye symptoms are present from early mucocutaneous symptoms via arthritic and …

Expression of Th17 and related cytokines according to clinical activity of Behcet's disease
Background: Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent oro-genital ulcers, and cutaneous, ocular, arthritics, gastrointestinal, vascular, and neurovascular involvement. The etiology and pathogenesis of BD have remained unclear, however it has been …

Differential gene expression in Behcet's disease and differential anti-tumor effects of Tim3 pathway blocking molecules
… to colchicine responsiveness in Behçet’s disease Behçet disease (BD) is a chronic relapsing, systemic inflammatory disorder which is treated with colchicine. However, some patients are not responsive to it. In this study, I wanted to explore the biomarkers to distinguish colchicine …

Effects of Vitamin D on Expression of Toll-like Receptors of Monocytes from Patients with Behcet's Disease
PURPOSE: Behcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. Although the exact mechanisms of the increased inflammatory response is not yet clear, infectious agents and immunological cross-reaction with the heat-shock proteins (HSP) are considered to play roles …

Anti-inflammatory Role of IL-15Rα Up-regulated by Poly I:C in Herpes Simplex Virus-induced Behcet's Disease-like Mouse Model
Behcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic, multi-systemic disorder that has arthritic, intestinal, mucocutaneous, ocular, vascular, and central nervous system affects. Interleukin-15 receptor alpha (IL-15Rα) forms stable complex with IL-15 on the cell surface of activated monocytes and mediates the …

The Role of Qa-2, the Functional Homolog of HLA-G, in a Mouse Model of Behcet's Disease Induced by HSV Inoculation
… allele was significantly more frequent in Behcet's disease (BD), with ocular, arthritis, and CNS symptoms, than in controls. The insertion was related to lower serum levels of HLA-G. Individuals homozygous for the insertion allele (3741_3754*ins14/* found to have a ins14 genotype) were …
