Abstract:
Th17 cells are a newly discovered subsets of T cells. It can specifically secrete IL-17. The RORγt and STAT3 are specific transcription factors of Th17 cells. In recent researches, it has been found that Th17 cells and their proportion increased in a variety of autoimmune diseases. This article briefly reviews Th17 cells and its relationship with the occurrence and severity of several immune-related blood diseases, including aplastic anemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombo-cytopenia and immune-related pancytopenia.
