抄録 International consensus diagnostic criteria for autoirnmune pancreatitis(AIP)de且ne two subtypes:Type l AIPre且ated to IgG4:and Type 2AIPrelated/ to a granulocytic epithelial lesion. The clinicopathologicalfeatures of Type 1 AIP are suggestive of abnormal immunity such as al-lergy or autoimmmity. Moreoverpatients with Type 1 AIP often haveextrapancreatic lesions showing pathologieal features sirnilar to the pan-creatic lesions. Of interest many synonyms have been proposed for theconditions of AIP and extrapanereatic lesionssuch as “multifocal idi-opathic fibrosclerosis “lgG4-related autoirrmiune disease, “lgG4-r&lated sclerosing disease “systemic lgG 4-related plasmacytic syn- drome, and “lgG4-related multiorgan 1ymphoprourerative syndrome”.Theref()rethe Research Progra皿for lntractable Disease proposed“lgG4-related disease” .Although AP is accepted worldwide as a unique ciinical entityits path}genetic mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesize that the pathogene-sis of Type 1 AP based on our recent studies. ln the early stagethe in-i廿al response to se匠一aR艇gens (for examples:lact◎fer血carbonic anhy-drase-lland pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor) is induced by de-creased naive regulatory T cells and T-he1per (Th) 1 imrnune responsesIn the chronic stagepregression is supported by increased Tregs andTh2. The productio且of IgG4 may be regulated by increased ICOS+Tregs via皿一10.
