Evaluation of CCR6 Gene Expression and Circulating CCL20 Levels as Potential Biomarkers in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized as a systemic auto immune disorder linked to a persistent inflammatory process that can harm both joints and extra articular organs. The upregulation of the CCR6/CCL20 axis in the synovial tissues and salivary glands (in cases of secondary Sjögren's syndrome) is considered to contribute to the recruitment of Th17 cells, which in turn enhances IL 17A production and promotes the inflammatory cycle.
