T helper cells that produce IL-17 (Th17 cells) have recently been identified as the third distinct subset of effector T cells. Emerging data suggests that Th17 cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of many liver diseases by regulating innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and autoimmunity. In this study, we examine the role and mechanism of Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). The serum levels of IL-17 and IL-23, as well as the frequency of IL-17+ cells in the liver, were significantly elevated in patients with AIH, compared to other chronic hepatitis and healthy controls. The hepatic expressions of IL-17, IL-23, ROR-γt, IL-6 and IL-1β in patients with AIH were also significantly increased and were associated with increased inflammation and fibrosis. IL-17 induces IL-6 expression via the MAPK signaling pathway in hepatocytes, which, in turn, may further stimulate Th17 cells and forms a positive feedback loop. In conclusion, Th17 cells are key effector T cells that regulate the pathogenesis of AIH, via induction of MAPK dependent hepatic IL-6 expression. Blocking the signaling pathway and interrupting the positive feedback loop are potential therapeutic targets for autoimmune hepatitis. 相似文献

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic progressive fibrosis disease that affects in oral mucosal tissues. Interleukin (IL)-13 has been implicated in the development of fibrosis in multiple organs. Indeed, it contributes to diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, liver cirrhosis among others. Currently, its expression in OSF and the specific mechanisms are not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of IL-13 in OSF and further explore whether IL-13 regulates—polarization of M2-macrophages in OSF. Initially, in the tissues of patients with OSF, we observed a high expression of M2-macrophages and IL-13 protein. Additionally, we found a correlation between the expression of IL-13 and the stage of OSF. Arecoline inhibited the proliferation of fibroblasts (FBs) and promoted IL-13 production in vitro. Furthermore, our observations revealed that M2-macrophages increased upon co-culturing M0-macrophages with supernatants containing the IL-13 cytokine. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that arecoline stimulates FBs leading to increased secretion of IL-13, which in turn IL-13 leads to polarization of M2-macrophages and promotes the occurrence of OSF. This suggests that IL-13 may be a potential therapeutic target of OSF. 相似文献

Interleukin-17 family and IL-17 receptors 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by activated T-cells. Recently discovered related molecules are forming a family of cytokines, the IL-17 family. The prototype member of the family has been designated IL-17A. Due to recent advances in the human genome sequencing and proteomics five additional members have been identified and cloned: IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E and IL-17F. The cognate receptors for the IL-17 family identified thus far are: IL-17R, IL-17RH1, IL-17RL (receptor like), IL-17RD and IL-17RE. However, the ligand specificities of many of these receptors have not been established. The IL-17 signaling system is operative in disparate tissues such as articular cartilage, bone, meniscus, brain, hematopoietic tissue, kidney, lung, skin and intestine. Thus, the evolving IL-17 family of ligands and receptors may play an important role in the homeostasis of tissues in health and disease beyond the immune system. This survey reviews the biological actions of IL-17 signaling in cancers, musculoskeletal tissues, the immune system and other tissues. 相似文献

Although anticapsular antibodies confer serotype-specific immunity to pneumococci, children increase their ability to clear colonization before these antibodies appear, suggesting involvement of other mechanisms. We previously reported that intranasal immunization of mice with pneumococci confers CD4+ T cell-dependent, antibody- and serotype-independent protection against colonization. Here we show that this immunity, rather than preventing initiation of carriage, accelerates clearance over several days, accompanied by neutrophilic infiltration of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Adoptive transfer of immune CD4+ T cells was sufficient to confer immunity to na?ve RAG1(-/-) mice. A critical role of interleukin (IL)-17A was demonstrated: mice lacking interferon-gamma or IL-4 were protected, but not mice lacking IL-17A receptor or mice with neutrophil depletion. In vitro expression of IL-17A in response to pneumococci was assayed: lymphoid tissue from vaccinated mice expressed significantly more IL-17A than controls, and IL-17A expression from peripheral blood samples from immunized mice predicted protection in vivo. IL-17A was elicited by pneumococcal stimulation of tonsillar cells of children or adult blood but not cord blood. IL-17A increased pneumococcal killing by human neutrophils both in the absence and in the presence of antibodies and complement. We conclude that IL-17A mediates pneumococcal immunity in mice and probably in humans; its elicitation in vitro could help in the development of candidate pneumococcal vaccines. 相似文献

There are several reports that angiogenesis plays important roles in hematological malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Human interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated CD4 T cells. IL-17 plays a potential role in T cell mediated angiogenesis. The role of IL-17 in pathologic angiogenesis has not been evaluated yet. The aim of the study was to determine plasma level of IL-17 in patients with AML. IL-17 levels were measured by ELISA in plasma samples taken from 68 adult patients with AML before chemotherapy was administered. In addition 20 out of 68 patients were reanalysed after achieving complete remission (CR). Ten samples from healthy volunteers were evaluated as the control. In this study we have demonstrated that serum level of IL-17 is not elevated in AML patients. These results suggest that angiogenesis in AML is not mediated by CD4 T cells. To our knowledge this is the first report about IL-17 serum level in acute leukemias. We are currently evaluating IL-17 levels in others haematological malignancies. 相似文献

IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in both the initiation and the maintenance of the inflammatory and immunologic responses in certain autoimmune diseases. Blocking of these two complementary functions of IL-6 may confer additive, or even unique, benefits to the patient. The levels of both IL-6 and its soluble receptor (sIL-6Ralpha) are elevated to various degrees in many rheumatic diseases. IL-6 blockade has been shown to be beneficial both in experimental models and in human disease, and inhibition of IL-6 signaling with a molecule such as tocilizumab could prevent or reverse some of the complications typically associated with rheumatic diseases. 相似文献

Pneumonic plague is one of the world's most deadly infectious diseases. The causative bacterium, Yersinia pestis, has the potential to be exploited as a biological weapon, and no vaccine is available. Vaccinating B cell-deficient mice with D27-pLpxL, a live attenuated Y. pestis strain, induces cell-mediated protection against lethal pulmonary Y. pestis challenge. In this article, we demonstrate that prime/boost vaccination with D27-pLpxL confers better protection than prime-only vaccination. The improved survival does not result from enhanced bacterial clearance but is associated with increased levels of IL-17 mRNA and protein in the lungs of challenged mice. The boost also increases pulmonary numbers of IL-17-producing CD4 T cells. Interestingly, most of these cells simultaneously produce canonical type 1 and type 17 cytokines; most produce IL-17 and TNF-α, and many produce IL-17, TNF-α, and IFN-γ. Neutralizing IL-17 counteracts the improved survival associated with prime/boost vaccination without significantly impacting bacterial burden. Thus, IL-17 appears to mediate the enhanced protection conferred by booster immunization. Although neutralizing IL-17 significantly reduces neutrophil recruitment to the lungs of mice challenged with Y. pestis, this impact is equally evident in mice that receive one or two immunizations with D27-pLpxL, suggesting it cannot suffice to account for the improved survival that results from booster immunization. We conclude that IL-17 plays a yet to be identified role in host defense that enhances protection against pulmonary Y. pestis challenge, and we suggest that pneumonic plague vaccines should aim to induce mixed type 1 and type 17 cellular responses. 相似文献

Mycobacterium kansasii is an emerging pathogen that is able to induce pulmonary disease resembling tuberculosis. To determine the role of interleukin (IL-)1 in lung infection caused by this atypical mycobacterium, IL-1 receptor type 1 knockout (IL-1R(1) KO) and normal wild type mice were intranasally infected with M. kansasii. IL-1R(1) KO mice demonstrated a reduced antibacterial response in the lungs and an increased dissemination to the liver, which was accompanied by an enhanced pulmonary inflammatory response. These data identify IL-1 as an important component of the innate immune response to lung infection by M. kansasii. 相似文献

In comparison to wild-type herpesvirus saimiri, viral interleukin-17 gene knockout mutants have unaltered behavior regarding viral replication, T-cell transformation in vitro, and pathogenicity in cottontop tamarins. Thus, this gene is not required for T-cell lymphoma induction but may contribute to apathogenic viral persistence in the natural host, the squirrel monkey. 相似文献
