Gene context of Behcet Syndrome

  • In Behçet disease, besides the decrease in tPA synthesis, high PAI levels also can affect tPA decrease and lead to inhibition of fibrinolytic activity [24].
  • We also assessed the possible involvement of VEGF in ocular Behçet's syndrome or in disease activity [25].
  • Significantly higher titres of IFN-gamma were produced by MNC from patients with Behçet's syndrome than MNC from patients with other inflammatory diseases (P = 0.005), hospital controls (P = 0.036) or healthy controls (P = 0.009) [26].
  • We previously demonstrated the possible involvement of proinflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8], nitric oxide (NO) and adrenomedullin in the etiopathogenesis of Behçet's syndrome [25].
  • Despite its inherent teratogenic risk, thalidomide has over the years proven to be of clinical use in a small number of mainly immunological diseases (e.g. erythema nodosum leprosum, Behçet's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis) [27].
