Genomic characterization and expression analysis of five novel IL-17 genes in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas.

TL;DR: The discovery of five novel IL-17 homologs in the Pacific oyster genome suggests that CgIL-17s are involved in innate immune responses and further supports their conserved function in mollusks immunity.

TRAF Molecules in Inflammation and Inflammatory Diseases

TL;DR: Increasing evidence indicates that TRAF molecules are versatile and indispensable regulators of inflammation and inflammatory responses and that aberrant expression or function of TRAFs contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases.

Transcriptome of American oysters, Crassostrea virginica, in response to bacterial challenge: insights into potential mechanisms of disease resistance.

TL;DR: The identification of potential genes and processes responsible for defense against R. crassostreae in the American oyster provides insights into potential mechanisms of disease resistance.

T helper 17 cells may drive neuroprogression in major depressive disorder: Proposal of an integrative model.

TL;DR: An integrative model is proposed suggesting that T helper 17 (Th17) cells play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of MDD through microglial activation, interactions with oxidative and nitrosative stress, increases of autoantibody production and the propensity for autoimmunity, and dysregulation of the gut mucosa and microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-17A: The Key Cytokine in Neurodegenerative Diseases.

TL;DR: The function of IL-17A is focused on, in particular the proposed roles of IL -17A, in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and the mechanisms of action are shown to be more subtle than simply causing inflammation.

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

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.

Divergent Pro- and Antiinflammatory Roles for IL-23 and IL-12 in Joint Autoimmune Inflammation

TL;DR: The data presented here indicate that IL-23 is an essential promoter of end-stage joint autoimmune inflammation, whereas IL-12 paradoxically mediates protection from autoimmune inflammation.
