Th17 gene expression in psoriatic arthritis synovial fluid and peripheral blood compared to osteoarthritis and cutaneous psoriasis.

CONCLUSIONS: We identified expression differences in Th17 signalling genes in PsA compared to OA SFCs, with an elevation of signalling molecules and attenuation of cytokine expression in PsA. A subset of genes was concordant in PBCs; these may thus be potential biomarkers of PsA. PMID: 29148410 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
