Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of IL-17 and Related Cytokines in Inflammatory Autoimmune Diseases.

TL;DR: The roles of cytokines that promote the development and maintenance of pathogenic Th17 cells in autoimmune diseases are highlighted, which strongly contributes to autoimmune diseases that are accompanied by chronic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-17 in Chronic Inflammation: From Discovery to Targeting

TL;DR: With a fruitful outlook, drug registration has now been granted for psoriasis psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, and IL-17 bears great potential in a growing number of conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of IL-17A blockade with secukinumab in autoimmune diseases

TL;DR: Findings on secukinumab provide evidence for the role of IL-17A in the pathophysiology of autoimmune disease and suggest the potential value of targeting this cytokine.
Journal ArticleDOI

The IL-17 Family of Cytokines in Psoriasis: IL-17A and Beyond

TL;DR: The current knowledge around the cytokines belonging to the IL-17 family in relation to skin inflammation in general and psoriasis in particular is summarized, possible clinical implications are discussed, and a comprehensive understanding of the different roles played by theIL-17 cytokines are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the Immune System in Hypertension

TL;DR: Experimental and human studies have uncovered autoantigens (isoketal-modified proteins and heat shock protein 70) of potential clinical relevance and further investigations on the immune reactivity in hypertension may result in the identification of new strategies for the treatment of the disease.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
