Potassium supplementation inhibits IL-17A production induced by salt loading in human T lymphocytes via p38/MAPK-SGK1 pathway.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects and underlying molecular mechanism of high salt and potassium supplementation on IL-17A production in T lymphocytes were explored, and the authors concluded that potassium supplementation has a blocking effect on IL 17A production induced by salt loading, mediated through the direct suppression of p38/MAPK-SGK1 pathway.

Recruitment of Neutrophils Mediated by Vγ2 γδ T Cells Deteriorates Liver Fibrosis Induced by Schistosoma japonicum Infection in C57BL/6 Mice.

TL;DR: It is suggested that during S. japonicum infection, Vγ2 T cells can recruit neutrophils and aggravate liver fibrosis by secreting IL-17A, the first report that a subset of γδ T cells plays a partial role in the pathological process of schistosome infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 dampens murine Th17 development

TL;DR: Ex vivo Th17 skewing assays demonstrate that genetic or pharmacologic disruption of SHP-1 activity in T cells results in a hyper-response to stimulation via IL-6 and IL-21, 2 cytokines that promote Th17 development.

TRAF3IP2 mediates interleukin-18-induced cardiac fibroblast migration and differentiation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-18 induces TRAF3IP2 expression in primary cardiac fibroblasts (CF) in a Nox4/hydrogen peroxide-dependent manner, indicating that TRAF 3IP2 is a critical intermediate in IL-18-induced CF migration and differentiation in vitro.

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.

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.
