Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 27725632 |
| Year | 2016 |
| Title | Tiam1/Rac1 complex controls Il17a transcription and autoimmunity |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | we found that the expression of both Tiam1 and Rac1 is significantly higher in Th17 cells differentiated in vitro according to a standard protocol for 7 days. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | we have demonstrated that Tiam1/Rac1 signalling is required for the encephalitogenicity of CD4+ T cells, very likely through its regulation of RORγt-mediated Il17 transcription |
