Soluble PD-1 aggravates progression of collagen-induced arthritis through Th1 and Th17 pathways

The programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) protein is a critical regulator of T-cell activation and is also an important therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases. Little is known about the regulation and functional properties of the soluble PD-1 (sPD-1) variant. The aim of this study was to examine the role of sPD-1 in the regulation of human and murine rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Expression of cytokines and sPD-1 in sera, synovial fluid, and peripheral blood (PB) mononuclear cells of patients with RA were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. PD-1... Mehr ...
