Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulated |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | The mRNA mean expressions of IL-17, IL-10, IL-27, TGF-β were different in patient and control groups,which displayed a significant increase in IL-17 and decrease in IL-10, IL-27 and TGF-β in patients group (p=0.015, p=0.005, p=0.027, p<0.001). |
| Mechanism/Pathway | pro-inflammatory cytokines |
