IL-17 produced by TH-17 cells has been associated with a number of inflammatory autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. In this review, we have primarily focused on the role of TH-17 cells/IL-17 in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and experimental arthritis. The potential role of TH-17 cells in rheumatoid arthritis progression has been demonstrated by correlating the percent TH-17 cells or levels of IL-17 with rheumatoid arthritis disease activity score and C-reactive protein levels. Further, previous studies suggest that IL-17 mediated vascularization may lay the foundation for rheumatoid arthritis joint neutrophil and monocyte recruitment as well as cartilage and bone destruction. The profound role of IL-17 in the pathogenesis of experimental arthritis may be due to its synergistic effect with TNF-α and IL-1β. Although the initial clinical trial employing anti-IL-17 antibody has been promising for rheumatoid arthritis, future studies in humans will shed more light on how anti-IL-17 therapy affects rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disease pathogenesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":74735,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology (Sunnyvale, Calif.)","volume":"1 104","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2161-1149.1000104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31392539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
