Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 29126764 |
| Year | 2018 |
| Title | STAT5a and STAT6 gene expression levels in multiple sclerosis patients |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | We found that STAT5a expression was significantly down-regulated (p = .049), whereas STAT6 gene expression was significantly up-regulated (p = .046) in MS patients compared with controls. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Cytokines have an important role in inflammation as characteristic feature of the disease. Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcriptions (JAK/STAT) family promote cytokine-mediated cell activation. |
