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.

Impaired T H 17 cell differentiation in subjects with autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome

TL;DR: Ex vivo T cells from subjects with HIES failed to produce IL-17, but not IL-2, tumour-necrosis factor or interferon-γ, on mitogenic stimulation with staphylococcal enterotoxin B or on antigenic stimulation with Candida albicans or streptokinase, which is consistent with a crucial role for STAT3 signalling in the generation of TH17 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Late Developmental Plasticity in the T Helper 17 Lineage

TL;DR: Mice deficient for STAT4 and T-bet-two prototypical Th1 transcription factors are protected from autoimmunity associated with Th17 pathogenesis and support a model of late Th17 developmental plasticity with implications for autoIMmunity and host defense.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fate mapping of IL-17-producing T cells in inflammatory responses

TL;DR: A reporter mouse strain designed to map the fate of cells that have activated interleukin 17A (IL-17A) allows the actual functional fate of effector T cells to be related to TH17 developmental origin regardless of IL-17 expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

The encephalitogenicity of T(H)17 cells is dependent on IL-1- and IL-23-induced production of the cytokine GM-CSF.

TL;DR: Cross-regulation of IL-23 and GM- CSF explains the similar pattern of resistance to autoimmunity when either of the two cytokines is absent and identifies TH17 cells as a crucial source of GM-CSF in autoimmune inflammation.
