The Immunologic Role of IL-17 in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Pathogenesis.

TL;DR: The immunologic role of interleukin (IL)-17, the major effector cytokine in the pathogenesis of psoriatic disease, is reviewed, along with the rationale for targeting the IL-17 cytokine family (IL-17A, Il-17F, and IL- 17 receptor A) in the treatment of psoriasis and psoratic arthritis.

T Helper 17 Lineage Differentiation Is Programmed by Orphan Nuclear Receptors RORα and RORγ

TL;DR: Th17 differentiation is directed by two lineage-specific nuclear receptors, ROR alpha and ROR gamma, and is induced by transforming growth factor-beta and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is dependent on signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-2 Signaling via STAT5 Constrains T Helper 17 Cell Generation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in addition to the promotion of activation-induced cell death of lymphocytes and the generation of Treg cells, inhibition of Th17 polarization appears to be an important function of IL-2.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-23 and IL-17 in the establishment of protective pulmonary CD4 + T cell responses after vaccination and during Mycobacterium tuberculosis challenge

TL;DR: It is proposed that vaccination induces IL-17-producing CD4+ T cells that populate the lung and, after challenge, trigger the production of chemokines that recruit CD4- T cells producing interferon-γ, which ultimately restrict bacterial growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

A brief history of T(H)17, the first major revision in the T(H)1/T(H)2 hypothesis of T cell-mediated tissue damage.

TL;DR: The evolution of the understanding of the TH17 pathway illuminates a shift in immunologists' perspectives regarding the basis of tissue damage, where for over 20 years the role of TH1 cells was considered paramount.

Innate IL-17-producing cells: the sentinels of the immune system

TL;DR: The many innate immune cell populations that are an early source of IL-17 in response to stress, injury or pathogens are explored.
