Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 27036414 |
| Year | 2016 |
| Title | Altered molecular expression of TLR-signaling pathways affects the steady-state release of IL-12p70 and IFN-α in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | down-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | Our observations demonstrate that the relative expression levels of IRF7 (P = 0.016) and IFNGR1 (P = 0.032) in pDC from patients with RRMS was lower compared with the gene expression level in pDC from healthy controls |
| Mechanism/Pathway | The observed alterations in the gene expression of molecules involved in the TLR4 and TLR7 signaling pathways in circulating DC subsets may underlie the impaired IL-12p70 and IFN-α secretion in patients with RRMS, thereby potentially contributing to the disease pathogenesis of MS |
