In endoscopic mucosal samples, IBD similarly exhibits a strong TH1 phenotype in early lesions and switches to a TH17 phenotype, with marked increase in IL-17A, and induction of IL-6 and IL-23; it can occur subsequent to different categories of JIA as well as spondyloarthropathies [11, 12]. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is spondyloarthropathy.
