Alterations in in vivo levels of SOCS3 or SOCS1 was previously shown to influence immunopathogenic mechanisms that mediate uveitis. We have also shown that SOCS3 mimetic peptides is effective in suppressing experimental autoimmune uveitis. In our current study, we show that perturbation of SOCS3 levels in mice with STAT3 deficiency in B cells exacerbated uveitis by promoting expansion of pathogenic lymphocytes. We will continue to use mutant mice with alterations of JAK/STAT signaling to further elucidate the role of SOCS1 and SOCS3 in ocular diseases.

先前证明SOCS3或SOCS1体内体内水平的改变会影响介导葡萄膜炎的免疫致病机制。我们还表明，SOCS3模拟肽可有效抑制实验性自身免疫性葡萄膜炎。在我们目前的研究中，我们表明，B细胞中STAT3缺乏的小鼠SOCS3水平的扰动通过促进致病性淋巴细胞的扩张加剧了葡萄膜炎。 我们将继续使用随着JAK/STAT信号的改变的突变小鼠，以进一步阐明SOCS1和SOCS3在眼部疾病中的作用。
