Activation of the T helper 17 (Th17) pathway in kidney transplantation recipients with chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD). The proportion of Th17 cells (interleukin 17+ [IL-17+]/cluster of differentiation 4+ [CD4+]); the IL-1β, receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1) messenger RNA (mRNA) levels; and the IL17, interleukin 33 (IL-33), and RAGE levels in peripheral blood are higher in patients with CAD. Modified from Chung et al. [41]. LTS, long-term stable; ES, early stable; ESRD, end stage renal disease; HC, healthy control; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ap < 0.05 for each comparison.
