Résumé :

Rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis are chronic inflammatory diseases, with massive increase of cardiovascular events (CVE), and contribution of the cytokines TNF-α and IL-17. Chronic inflammation inside the joint membrane or synovium results from the activation of fibroblasts/synoviocytes, and leads to the release of cytokines from monocytes (Tumor Necrosis Factor or TNF) and from T lymphocytes (Interleukin-17 or IL-17). At the systemic level, the very same cytokines affect endothelial cells and vessel wall. We have previously shown [1,2 that IL-17 and TNF-α specifically when combined, increase procoagulation, decrease anticoagulation and increase platelet aggregation, leading to thrombosis. These results are the basis for the models of interactions between IL-17 and TNF, and genes expressed by activated endothelial cells. This work is devoted to mathematical modeling and numerical simulations of blood coagulation and clot growth under the influence of IL-17 and TNF-α. We show that they can provoke thrombosis, leading to the complete or partial occlusion of blood vessels. The regimes of blood coagulation and conditions of occlusion are investigated in numerical simulations and in approximate analytical models. The results of mathematical modeling allow us to predict thrombosis development for an individual patient.
