Summary |
IL17A is a cytokine produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells that plays important roles in the development of inflammatory diseases.
IL17A is an innate-adaptive immunomodulatory cytokine that is produced by gammadelta cells and is a key mediator for the innate immune response to urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
IL17A is a Th17-related cytokine, traditionally thought of as an adaptive responder, has been shown to have various innate sources and functions as a rapidly produced pro-inflammatory mediator. Innate IL17A-producing cells also employ many of the cytokine and transcriptional regulators utilized by Th17 cells.
IL17A signalling enhances the mRNA stability of chemokine CXCL1 through TRAF3IP2, TRAF2-TRAF5 and the RNA-binding protein SRSF1.
IL17A is significantly upregulated in both S. pyogenes inoculated and mock inoculated mice, indicating that the cytokine production can be triggered by inoculation trauma alone. (Demonstrated in mice)
Local production of IL17A in the airways drives early neutrophil infiltration into respiratory syncytial virus infected infant lungs.
IFNG interferes with the IL-1/NFKBIZ axis in β-glucan-activated dendritic cells and promotes T cell-mediated immune responses with increased release of IFNG and IL22, and diminished production of IL17A.

[Mus musculus] Il17a signalling enhances the mRNA stability of chemokine Cxcl1 through Traf3ip2, Traf2-Traf5 and the RNA-binding protein Srsf1.
[Mus musculus] Il17a is significantly upregulated in both S. pyogenes inoculated and mock inoculated mice, indicating that the cytokine production can be triggered by inoculation trauma alone.
[Mus musculus] IL17A inhibits the release of IL23 during pulmonary inflammation and serves as part of negative feedback loop to control antibacterial immunity.
[Mus musculus] Il17a is an intrinsic regulator in coordinating neutrophil and macrophage antimicrobial activity to provide protection against acute pneumonic plague.
[Mus musculus] In mouse model of leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I disease, defective neutrophil recruitment is associated with dysregulated local overproduction of IL17, which drives inflammatory periodontal bone loss.
[Mus musculus] Defb1 is important for the control of early mucosal Candida infection and plays a critical role in the induction of innate inflammatory mediators including, Il1b, Il6, Cxcl1, Il17a, and Il17f.
[Mus musculus] Il17a is rapidly produced during lung injury and significantly contributes to early immunopathogenesis, a process that is orchestrated largely by a distinct population of pulmonary type 3 innate lymphoid cells.

Summary |
The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. This cytokine can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
