Etiopathogenesis of Behçet's Disease

Abstract

Behçet's disease (BD) is a vasculitis with an unknown etiology and pathogesesis affecting the small and large vessels of the venous and arterial systems. Although several viral and bacterial causes have been investigated in detail for several years, of late it is widely accepted that microorganisms may play a role as a trigger, or as a cross-reactive antigens that interfere with self-antigens, such as heat-shock proteins. The genetic risk factor most strongly associated with BD is the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B51 allele. Some other genes such as IL-1, Factor V and ICAM-1, KIR and eNOS assumed to take a part in the pathogenezis are settled out of the MHC region. However, it has been accepted that, only HLA-B51 is directly related with pathogenezis of the disease, and others have strong linkage disequilibrium with HLA-B51. In patients with BD, several abnormalities in innate and acquired immunity were detected. Activated neutrophils secrete some cytokines, which prime themselves and also stimulate Th1 cells. In this review, we focus on the pathogenezis of BD and discuss the potential contributors.
