Study of cytokine-induced immunity in bullous pemphigoid: recent developments

AbstractBullous pemphigoid (BP) is an organ-specific disease. Its pathogenesis has not been clearly studied yet; However, studies in recent years have shown that its pathogenesis is related to T helper cells. The pathogenesis of BP is mainly related to Th2 and Th17-related cytokines. IL-4, IL-5 and...

description AbstractBullous pemphigoid (BP) is an organ-specific disease. Its pathogenesis has not been clearly studied yet; However, studies in recent years have shown that its pathogenesis is related to T helper cells. The pathogenesis of BP is mainly related to Th2 and Th17-related cytokines. IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 cause eosinophil recruitment, promote antibody production, trigger pruritus and promote blister formation and other symptoms. IL-17 and IL-23 promote the production of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) by related cells, which causes dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ) separation to form bullae and blisters, and can persist in BP inflammation. The serum concentrations of IL-17 and IL-23 are related to the prognosis of BP. In this paper, we focus on the role of related cytokines in the pathogenesis of bullous pemphigoid and the relationship between the related cytokine populations secreted by three major T helper cells—helper T lymphocytes 1 (Th1), Th2, and Th17. A better understanding of the biological and immunological functions of cytokines associated with BP patients will provide opportunities for therapeutic targets in BP.
