Pubmed ID	22989513
Year	2013
Title	Therapeutic gene silencing with siRNA for IL-23 but not for IL-17 suppresses the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in rats

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result	siRNA-IL-23 treatment downregulated IL-12, IL-17 and IL-23 mRNAs.
Mechanism/pathway	First, as shown in the present study, siRNA-IL-23 treatment suppressed the development of both Th1 and Th17 cells and related key cytokines.
