Abstract

Under the effect of different cytokines, naive T cells can differentiate into multiple cell subsets, including Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg cells, and so on. These T cell subsets and their cytokines play important roles in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Interleukin-36 (IL-36), including IL-36α, IL-36β and IL-36γ, shows stronger immunoregulatory and immunoactivation effects than traditional IL-1 family members, and participates in the pathophysiological process of autoimmune diseases by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor kappa-B. To investigate the effect of IL-36 on differentiation of T cells may facilitate the clarification of SLE pathogenesis, and provide new ideas to its treatment. Key words: Lupus erythematosus, systemic; Tlymphocyte subsets; Interleukin-36; Autoimmune diseases; Differentiation, Tlymphocyte
