Nara Gualberto Cavalcanti,Claudia Diniz Lopes Marques,Thiago Ubiratan Lins E Lins,Michelly Cristiny Pereira,Moacyr Jesus Barreto de Melo Rêgo,Angela Luzia Branco Pinto Duarte,Ivan da Rocha Pitta,Maira Galdino da Rocha Pitta +7 more
TL;DR: IL-6 is associated with clinical and laboratory activity, the presence of tophi and articular deformities, and may be a prognostic marker of this pathology, while IL-18 isassociated with inflammatory activity in gout, as well as with IL-6 levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Andréa Tavares Dantas,Michelly Cristiny Pereira,Moacyr Jesus Barreto de Melo Rêgo,Laurindo Ferreira da Rocha,Ivan da Rocha Pitta,Claudia Diniz Lopes Marques,Angela Luzia Branco Pinto Duarte,Maira Galdino da Rocha Pitta +7 more
TL;DR: Recent studies that identified PPARγ as an important novel pathway with critical roles in regulating connective tissue homeostasis, with emphasis on skin and lung fibrosis and its role on systemic sclerosis are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
IL-17A, IL-22, IL-6, and IL-21 Serum Levels in Plaque-Type Psoriasis in Brazilian Patients.
Priscilla Stela Santana de Oliveira,Pablo Ramon Gualberto Cardoso,Emerson Lima,Michelly Cristiny Pereira,Angela Luzia Branco Pinto Duarte,Ivan da Rocha Pitta,Moacyr Jesus Barreto de Melo Rêgo,Maira Galdino da Rocha Pitta +7 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that IL-17A, IL-22, and IL-6 serum concentrations were increased in Brazilian psoriasis patients in comparison to healthy volunteers, and no statistical correlation could be found between cytokines concentrations, PASI score, and age in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interferons and systemic sclerosis: correlation between interferon gamma and interferon-lambda 1 (IL-29)
Andréa Tavares Dantas,Sayonara Maria Calado Gonçalves,Michelly Cristiny Pereira,Anderson Rodrigues de Almeida,Claudia Diniz Lopes Marques,Moacyr Jesus Barreto de Melo Rêgo,Ivan da Rocha Pitta,Angela Luzia Branco Pinto Duarte,Maira Galdino da Rocha Pitta +8 more
TL;DR: A correlation between IFN-λ1 andIFN-γ levels and an association between IFn-γ and myositis is found and additional in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to understand IFN -λ1 role in SSc.
Journal ArticleDOI
IL-17 and related cytokines involved in systemic sclerosis: Perspectives.
Rafaela Silva Guimarães Gonçalves,Michelly Cristiny Pereira,Andréa Tavares Dantas,Anderson Rodrigues de Almeida,Claudia Diniz Lopes Marques,Moacyr Jesus Barreto de Melo Rêgo,Ivan da Rocha Pitta,Angela Luzia Branco Pinto Duarte,Maira Galdino da Rocha Pitta +8 more
TL;DR: An update for a better understanding of current knowledge on main cytokines secreted by the Th17 cells (IL-17 A, IL-21, and IL-22) and the future prospects in the current disease is proposed.
