Targeting Janus Kinases and Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 To Treat Inflammation, Fibrosis, and Cancer: Rationale, Progress, and Caution

TL;DR: A comprehensive understanding of JAK/STAT3 signaling in normal development, and in adaptive and maladaptive responses to stress, is essential for the continued development of safe and effective therapies that target this signaling pathway.

IL-17 targeted therapies for psoriasis.

TL;DR: Anti-IL-17 agents are likely to become important future therapeutics in this disease and the may potentially impact on cardiovascular diseases, arthritis and other comorbidities associated with psoriasis.

Gene Expression Profiles Normalized in Psoriatic Skin by Treatment with Brodalumab, a Human Anti–IL-17 Receptor Monoclonal Antibody

TL;DR: Data indicate that blockade of IL-17 signaling in psoriatic skin leads to rapid transcriptomal changes initially in keratinocyte-expressed genes, followed by normalization in the leukocyte abnormalities, and demonstrates the essential role of the IL- 17R on keratinocytes in driving disease pathogenesis.

TH17 Cells in Autoimmunity and Immunodeficiency: Protective or Pathogenic?

TL;DR: Evidence now suggests that depending on the environment Th17 cells can alter their differentiation program, ultimately giving rise to either protective or pro-inflammatory cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The potential pathogenic role of IL-17/Th17 cells in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: Light is shed on the potential role of IL-17 and Th17 cells in both T1D and T2D pathogenesis and future therapeutic strategies.

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.
