Interleukin-23 Promotes a Distinct CD4 T Cell Activation State Characterized by the Production of Interleukin-17

TLDR
Evidence is presented that murine IL-23, which is produced by activated dendritic cells, acts on memory T cells, resulting in elevated IL-17 secretion, which suggests that during a secondary immune response, IL- 23 can promote an activation state with features distinct from the well characterized Th1 and Th2 profiles.

Reciprocal developmental pathways for the generation of pathogenic effector TH17 and regulatory T cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that IL-6, an acute phase protein induced during inflammation, completely inhibits the generation of Foxp3+ Treg cells induced by TGF-β, and the data demonstrate a dichotomy in thegeneration of pathogenic (TH17) T cells that induce autoimmunity and regulatory (Foxp3+) T Cells that inhibit autoimmune tissue injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

The orphan nuclear receptor RORgammat directs the differentiation program of proinflammatory IL-17+ T helper cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that the orphan nuclear receptor RORgammat is the key transcription factor that orchestrates the differentiation of this effector cell lineage of proinflammatory T helper cells and its potential as a therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 17–producing CD4 + effector T cells develop via a lineage distinct from the T helper type 1 and 2 lineages

TL;DR: Findings provide a basis for understanding how inhibition of IFN-γ signaling enhances development of pathogenic TH-17 effector cells that can exacerbate autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-17 and Th17 Cells.

TL;DR: The investigation of the differentiation, effector function, and regulation of Th17 cells has opened up a new framework for understanding T cell differentiation and now appreciate the importance of Th 17 cells in clearing pathogens during host defense reactions and in inducing tissue inflammation in autoimmune disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A distinct lineage of CD4 T cells regulates tissue inflammation by producing interleukin 17

TL;DR: In vivo, antibody to IL- 17 inhibited chemokine expression in the brain during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, whereas overexpression of IL-17 in lung epithelium caused Chemokine production and leukocyte infiltration, indicating a unique T helper lineage that regulates tissue inflammation.

IL-17 in synovial fluids from patients with rheumatoid arthritis is a potent stimulator of osteoclastogenesis

TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-17 first acts on osteoblasts, which stimulates both COX-2-dependent PGE2 synthesis and ODF gene expression, which in turn induce differentiation of osteoclast progenitors into mature osteoclasts, and that IL -17 is a crucial cytokine for osteoclastic bone resorption in RA patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

T cell interleukin-17 induces stromal cells to produce proinflammatory and hematopoietic cytokines.

TL;DR: Observations suggest that hIL-17 may constitute an early initiator of the T cell-dependent inflammmatory reaction; and an element of the cytokine network that bridges the immune system to hematopoiesis.
Journal Article

Il-17 stimulates the production and expression of proinflammatory cytokines, il-beta and tnf-alpha , by human macrophages

TL;DR: A pivotal role for IL-17 is suggested in initiating and/or sustaining an inflammatory response to proinflammatory mediators by human macrophages in response to recombinant human (rh) IL- 17.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human interleukin-17: A T cell-derived proinflammatory cytokine produced by the rheumatoid synovium.

TL;DR: It is indicated that IL-17 contributes to the active, proinflammatory pattern that is characteristic of RA through the contribution of some Th1-like T cells appear to mediate synovial inflammation.
