Background & Aims: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by a Th2 immune response with
inflammation and epithelial barrier dysfunction. So far, Th2 cytokines have not been shown …

In ulcerative colitis, the T helper type 2 proinflammatory cytokine Interleukin-13 (IL-13)
contributes as effector cytokine to the epithelial changes associated with disturbed epithelial …

Objective Ulcerative colitis is associated with increased interleukin 13 (IL-13) production by
natural killer T cells. Taking advantage of the inhibitory actions of interferon β on IL-13 …

T helper type (Th17) cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-22 are important in
maintaining mucosal barrier function and may be important in the pathogenesis of …

IL‐13 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC), and may have a
role in animal models of gut fibrosis. We studied the involvement of IL‐13 in inflammation …

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the large intestine whose etiology
remains largely unknown. Its pathogenesis involves the breakdown of intestinal mucosal …

Background We studied the balance between ileal T-effector cells versus T-regulatory cells
in active and inactive Crohn's disease (CD). Methods We compared effector and regulatory …

OBJECTIVE: Mucosal inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC) is presumed to be regulated by
Th2-like cytokines. The aim of this study was to characterize local expression of various …

Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, exhibits pronounced increase
of T lymphocytes in the inflamed mucosa. To understand the role of intestinal T lymphocytes …

Abstract Objectives: Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a novel cytokine sharing many of the activities of
IL-2. The goal of this study was to evaluate intracellular and serum IL-15 in ulcerative colitis …
