T helper 17 (Th17) cells are a newly identified subset of T helper cells that play important roles in host defense against extracellular bacteria as well as in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease. The functions of Th17 cells are mediated via the production of several cytokines including interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-22. Recent studies show that the frequency of IL-17+ cells is significantly elevated in a variety of chronic liver diseases including alcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma. IL-17 receptor is expressed virtually on all types of liver cells, while IL-22 receptor expression is restricted to epithelial cells including hepatocytes in the liver. IL-17 seems to play an important role in inducing liver inflammation via stimulating multiple types of liver nonparenchymal cells to produce proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, while IL-22 appears to be an important factor in promoting hepatocyte survival and proliferation. 相似文献

Systemic autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus are type I IFN-driven diseases with exaggerated B-cell responses and autoantibody production. Th17 cells, a T-helper-cell subset with high inflammatory capacity, was initially discovered and characterized in the context of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis - an animal model of multiple sclerosis. There is now emerging evidence that Th17 cells, and more generally IL-17 and IL-17-producing cells, may play a role in the pathogenesis of type I IFN-driven systemic autoimmune diseases such as lupus. Here, we review the different studies suggesting a role for IL-17 and IL-17-producing cells in systemic autoimmune diseases, both in humans and in animal models, and we consider the possible mechanisms by which these cells may contribute to disease. We also discuss the hypothesis that type I IFN and IL-17 act in concert to sustain and amplify autoimmune and inflammatory responses, making them a dangerous combination involved in the pathogenesis of systemic autoimmune diseases. 相似文献

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) and IL-17-producing cells have been shown to play
important roles in inflammation and the immune response. IL-17 is believed to be
mainly produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells, a unique helper T-cell subset
different from Th1 and Th2 cells. Other subsets of T cells such as γδT
and natural killer T (NKT) cells have also been found to produce IL-17 in
response to innate stimuli. IL-17 acts as a proinflammatory cytokine that can
induce the release of certain chemokines, cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases
(MMPs) and antimicrobial peptides from mesenchymal and myeloid cells. This leads
to the expansion and accumulation of neutrophils in the innate immune system and
links innate and adaptive immunity in vivo. Furthermore, increasing
evidence indicates that IL-17 and IL-17-producing cells are involved in the
pathogenesis of various diseases such as allergies, autoimmune diseases,
allograft transplantation and even malignancy. They may also play protective
roles in host defense against infectious diseases and promote induction of
cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against cancer. Targeting of the IL-17
axis is under investigation for the treatment of inflammatory disorders. 相似文献

Summary: T-helper 17 (Th17) cells are a newly discovered CD4+ helper T-cell subset that produces interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and IL-17F. IL-17A plays important roles in allergic responses such as delayed-type hypersensitivity, contact hypersensitivity, and allergic airway inflammation. IL-17A promotes inflammation by inducing various proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, recruiting neutrophils, enhancing antibody production, and activating T cells. IL-17A expression is also augmented in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Using mouse models of these diseases, we found that IL-17A plays a central role in their development. IL-6 is required for the development of Th17 cells and tumor necrosis factor functions downstream of IL-17A during the effector phase. IL-1 is important both for developing Th17 cells and eliciting inflammation. Th17 cells, like Th1 and Th2 cells, are involved in host defense against infections, but the contribution of these Th subsets to defense mechanisms differs among pathogens. The roles of IL-17F remain largely unknown. In this review, we introduce how IL-17A/IL-17F are involved in inflammatory immune responses and host defense mechanisms and discuss their relationship with other cytokines in the development of inflammatory and infectious diseases. 相似文献

Interleukin-23 (IL-23), a heterodimeric cytokine of covalently bound p19 and p40 proteins, has recently been closely associated with development of several chronic autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease. Released by activated dendritic cells, IL-23 interacts with IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) on Th17 cells, thus promoting intracellular signaling, a pivotal step in Th17-driven pro-inflammatory axis. Here, we aimed to block the binding of IL-23 cytokine to its cell-surface receptor by novel inhibitory protein binders targeted to the p19 subunit of human IL-23. To this goal, we used a combinatorial library derived from a scaffold of albumin-binding domain (ABD) of streptococcal protein G, and ribosome display selection, to yield a collection of ABD-derived p19-targeted variants, called ILP binders. From 214 clones analyzed by ELISA, Western blot and DNA sequencing, 53 provided 35 different sequence variants that were further characterized. Using in silico docking in combination with cell-surface competition binding assay, we identified a group of inhibitory candidates that substantially diminished binding of recombinant p19 to the IL-23R on human monocytic THP-1 cells. Of these best p19-blockers, ILP030, ILP317 and ILP323 inhibited IL-23-driven expansion of IL-17-producing primary human CD4+?T-cells. Thus, these novel binders represent unique IL-23-targeted probes useful for IL-23/IL-23R epitope mapping studies and could be used for designing novel p19/IL-23-targeted anti-inflammatory biologics. 相似文献

Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a population of evolutionarily conserved T cells, which express an invariant T cell receptor (TCR) and represent a significant subset of innate-like T cells in humans, yet their role in immunity is still emerging. Unlike conventional αβ T cells, MAIT cells are not restricted by MHC molecules, but instead uniquely recognize microbially derived vitamin metabolites presented by the MHC-I like molecule MR1. MAIT cells are enriched in mucosal sites and tissues including liver and adipose tissue where they are thought to play an important role in immunosurveillance and immunity against microbial infection. In addition to their putative role in antimicrobial immunity, recent research on MAIT cells, in particular IL-17 producing MAIT cells, has demonstrated their involvement in numerous chronic inflammatory conditions. In this review, we give an overview of the work to date on the function and subsets of MAIT cells. We also examine the role of IL-17 producing MAIT cells in chronic inflammatory diseases ranging from autoimmune conditions, metabolic diseases to cancer. Furthermore, we discuss the most recent findings from the clinic that might help deepen our understanding about the biology of MAIT cells. 相似文献

The emerging role of interleukin (IL)-17 as a hallmark proinflammatory cytokine of the adaptive immune system, produced primarily by a new T helper cell subset termed ‘Th17’, has received considerable attention. Differentiation of Th17 cells is driven by the simultaneous presence of transforming growth factor-β and certain inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-6, IL-21), and recent studies have shown that inflammation instigated by IL-17-producing cells is central to the development and pathogenesis of several human autoimmune diseases and animal models of autoimmunity. In this review, we focus on the information regarding IL-17 and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a chronic autoimmune disease. The work that has explored the development and behaviour of IL-17-producing cells in SLE is discussed, and different mechanisms by which IL-17 could potentially augment inflammation and autoantibody production in the context of SLE are proposed. 相似文献

Peribiliary capillary plexus (PCP) is a network of capillaries which arise from the hepatic artery surrounding the intrahepatic bile ducts. We immunohistochemically investigated the density of PCP around interlobular bile ducts in various chronic liver diseases including primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) (n = 47), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) (n = 12), chronic hepatitis B (n = 16), chronic hepatitis C (n = 19), liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis B virus (n = 13), liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis C virus (n = 20), alcoholic hepatitis (n = 20), alcoholic liver cirrhosis (n = 17), using human liver biopsies fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin wax. PCP was immunohistochemically detected by an endothelial marker, the CD34 antigen. The number of PCP per duct was 1.21 +/- 0.18 in normal livers. Compared with normal liver, vasopenia was observed in PBC and AIH, the number in which was 0.93 +/- 0.34 (P < 0.0001) and 0.82 +/- 0.38 (P < 0.005) per duct, respectively. In contrast, increased number of PCP was observed in liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis B or C virus, alcoholic hepatitis, and alcoholic liver cirrhosis, the number in which were 1.59 +/- 0.37 (P < 0.005), 1.55 +/- 0.52 (P < 0. 02), 1.38 +/- 0.23 (P < 0.02) and 1.61 +/- 0.33 (P < 0.002) per duct, respectively. These data suggest that PCP may be destroyed in autoimmune liver diseases, including PBC and AIH, but PCP may proliferate in other inflammatory and alcoholic liver diseases. 相似文献

IL-17RB, a member of the IL-17 receptor family that can be activated by IL-17B, has been proved to be involved in inflammatory diseases and cancers. However, the function of IL-17RB in thyroid cancer is still unknown. In this study, IL-17RB expression in thyroid cancer cell lines and tissues was examined by real-time PCR and western blot. The effects of IL-17RB on cell invasion and migration were determined by in vitro invasion and migration assays, while the effects of IL-17RB on cell metastasis were analyzed by in vivo experiments. The results showed that IL-17RB expression was upregulated in both thyroid cancer cells and tissues. IL–17B dose-dependently promoted the invasion, growth and migration of thyroid cancer cells, whereas knockdown of IL-17RB attenuated the effects of IL–17B in vitro. Moreover, IL-17RB was involved in the metastasis and growth of thyroid cancer cells in vivo. In addition, IL-17RB induced ERK1/2 activation and increased MMP-9 expression in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of ERK1/2 pathway blocked the IL-17RB-mediated thyroid cancer cell invasion and MMP-9 expression. Together, our findings demonstrate that IL-17RB can enhance thyroid cancer cell invasion and metastasis via ERK1/2 pathway-mediated MMP-9 expression, suggesting that IL-17RB may act as a potential therapeutic target for thyroid cancer therapy. 相似文献

In this study, we investigated IL-10 and IL-17 specific immunomodulatory potential of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), a physiological nitric oxide carrier molecule, in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In active EAE model, GSNO treatment attenuated EAE severity and splenic CD4+ T cells isolated from these mice exhibited decreased IL-17 expression without affecting the IFN-γ expression compared to the cells from untreated EAE mice. Similarly, adoptive transfer of these cells to nave mice resulted in reduction in IL-17 expression in the spinal cords of recipient mice with milder EAE severity. CD4+ T cells isolated from GSNO treated EAE mice, as compared to untreated EAE mice, still expressed lower levels of IL-17 under TH17 skewing conditions, but expressed similar levels of IFN-γ under TH1 skewing condition. Interestingly, under both TH17 and TH1 skewing condition, CD4+ T cells isolated from GSNO treated EAE mice, as compared to untreated EAE mice, expressed higher levels of IL-10 and adoptive transfer of these TH17 and TH1 skewed cells seemingly exhibited milder EAE disease. In addition, adoptive transfer of CD4+ T cells from GSNO treated EAE mice to active EAE mice also ameliorated EAE disease with induction of spinal cord expression of IL-10 and reduction in of IL-17, thus suggesting the participation of IL-10 mechanism in GSNO mediated immunomodulation. GSNO treatment of mice passively immunized with CD4+ T cells either from GSNO treated EAE mice or untreated mice further ameliorated EAE disease, supporting efficacy of GSNO for prophylaxis and therapy in EAE. Overall, these data document a modulatory role of GSNO in IL-17/IL-10 axis of EAE and other autoimmune diseases. 相似文献

Helper T (TH) cells are an important part of the adaptive immune system. It is hypothesized that one type of helper T-cell, TH17 cells, play an important role in idiosyncratic drug-induced liver failure, and it was found that interleukin (IL)-17, the signature cytokine of TH17 cells, was elevated in most patients with idiosyncratic drug-induced liver failure. However, it was also found that IL-17 was elevated in some patients with acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver failure. It is unlikely that APAP-induced liver failure is mediated by the adaptive immune system, but there are other cells such as macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells that also produce IL-17. Therefore, the phenotype of cells that produce IL-17 was studied in a mouse model of APAP-induced liver toxicity. To the authors’ surprise, it was found that most of the IL-17 producing cells in the liver were TH17 cells, and they were increased within hours of APAP treatment. This is too fast for a response of the adaptive immune system. These data suggest that TH17 cells can be part of the innate immune response; however, it is unclear what role they play in the pathogenesis of APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. 相似文献
