Objective: To investigate serum TL1A levels and their correlation with Th17 cells, IL-17, and IL-21 in children with Graves' disease (GD).
Methods: Thirty-seven children (12 males and 25 females) aged 9-14 years with newly diagnosed and untreated GD were enrolled in this study. Serum TL1A, IL-17, and IL-21 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The percentage of Th17 cells in peripheral blood was determined by flow cytometry. The correlation between serum TL1A levels and Th17 cells, IL-17, and IL-21 was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Results: Serum TL1A levels and the percentage of Th17 cells were significantly higher in children with GD compared to healthy controls (P<0.05). Serum IL-17 and IL-21 levels were also significantly elevated in GD patients (P<0.05). Serum TL1A levels positively correlated with the percentage of Th17 cells (r=0.625, P<0.05), IL-17 (r=0.573, P<0.05), and IL-21 (r=0.542, P<0.05) in children with GD.
Conclusion: Serum TL1A levels are increased in children with GD and positively correlate with Th17 cells, IL-17, and IL-21, suggesting that TL1A may play a role in the pathogenesis of GD by regulating Th17 cell differentiation and the production of IL-17 and IL-21.

PF-06480605, a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting tumor necrosis factor α-like ligand 1A (TL1A), has demonstrated acceptable safety and the potential as an effective treatment for inflammatory bowel disease in phase 1/2a studies. To facilitate future clinical development in Japan and China, a Japan local phase 1 study was designed in consultation with the Japan regulatory authority. In addition to fulfilling Japan regulatory requirements, this study will bring operational efficiency and speed to global and China development by evaluating PF-06480605 in Japanese healthy adults prior to a China local phase 1 study as required by the China regulatory authority.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease, and TL1A and its receptor DR3 play important roles in its pathogenesis. Th9 cells are involved in RA development. Dioscin from Dioscorea nipponica (DDN) has a therapeutic effect on RA, but its effect on TL1A/DR3 and Th9 cells remains unclear.

Background: The treatment options for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have grown over the last years. However, a significant fraction of patients either do not respond to their treatment or lose response over time.
Summary: Future treatment options could include antibodies that target the tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1A (TL1A).
