Abstract
The precise pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease remains unknown. In an attempt to elucidate the pathogenesis of KD through the analysis of acquired immunity, we comprehensively examined the immunophenotypic changes in immune cells such as lymphocytes and monocytes along with various cytokines, focusing on differences between pre- and post- treatment samples. We found high levels of CXCL9 and CXCL10 chemokines that decreased with treatment, which coincided with a post-treatment expansion of Th1 cells expressing CXCR3. Our results show that the CXCL10-CXCR3 axis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of KD.
期刊介绍：
Clinical & Experimental Immunology (established in 1966) is an authoritative international journal publishing high-quality research studies in translational and clinical immunology that have the potential to transform our understanding of the immunopathology of human disease and/or change clinical practice.
The journal is focused on translational and clinical immunology and is among the foremost journals in this field, attracting high-quality papers from across the world. Translation is viewed as a process of applying ideas, insights and discoveries generated through scientific studies to the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of human disease. Clinical immunology has evolved as a field to encompass the application of state-of-the-art technologies such as next-generation sequencing, metagenomics and high-dimensional phenotyping to understand mechanisms that govern the outcomes of clinical trials.
