Predominant role of innate pro-inflammatory cytokines in vitiligo disease

In conclusion, the profile of cytokines in patients showed a dominant role of innate immunity pro-inflammatory cytokines in vitiligo, which suggests the potential of targeting these cytokines for vitiligo treatment. While a higher ratio of Th1/Th2 cytokines was observed in the patients, association of decreased Th2 cytokines with disease complications suggests a protective role for Th2 pathway.
