Gene context of Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

  • In SLE and PSS patients plasma concentrations of both types of TNF receptors and in MCTD patients type A TNF receptors were significantly elevated compared to controls [24].
  • The percentage of PCNA-positive PBMC in patients with SLE was 0-20% (mean: 2.63%) which was significantly higher (P less than 0.01) compared with normal controls (mean: 0.18%), patients with rheumatoid arthritis (mean: 0.83%), and patients with mixed connective tissue disease (mean: 0.38%) [25].
  • In contrast, the highest CRP levels were observed in RA patients, followed by the MCTD patients [26].
  • CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that MCTD is associated with increased production of both type 1 (IFN-gamma) and type 2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-10) [27].
  • We conclude that MCTD patients have high immunoglobulin levels as well as high CRP levels and that this situation is compatible with the observed increase in both type 1 and type 2 cytokine levels [26].
