| Title | RORct Expression and Lymphoid Neogenesis in the Brain of Patients with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Phenotypic risk |
| Result | Thus, there is selective migration or survival of RORct-positive cells in MS patient meninges and an association of these cells with ELS. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Because cells expressing the transcriptional regulator reti-noic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-ct (RORct) and producing interleukin 17 (IL17), e.g. T helper 17 cells and lymphoid tissue in-ducer (LTi) cells, have been implicated in the formation of ELS, we studied RORct and IL17 expression in brain tissue from patients with SPMS an assessed their relationships to immune infiltrates and meningeal ELS. |
