Interleukin (IL)-17, the signature cytokine secreted by T helper (Th) 17 cells, plays important roles in host defense against extracellular bacterial infection and fungal infection and contributes to the pathogenesis of various autoimmune inflammatory diseases. Here we review the recent advances in IL-17-mediated functions with emphasis on the studies of IL-17-mediated signal transduction, providing perspective on potential drug targets for the treatment of autoimmune inflammatory diseases.
白细胞介素 (IL)-17 是辅助性 T 细胞 (Th)17 细胞分泌的标志性细胞因子,在宿主抵抗细胞外细菌感染和真菌感染方面发挥着重要作用,并导致各种自身免疫性炎症性疾病的发病机制。在这里,我们回顾了 IL-17 介导的功能的最新进展,重点介绍了 IL-17 介导的信号转导的研究,为治疗自身免疫性炎症性疾病的潜在药物靶点提供了新的视角。
