Recently, the IL-17 family member cytokines have become prominent subjects of investigation. IL-17 (IL-17A) is the best-described member of this family where its production has been mainly attributed to a specialized T helper subset of the adaptive immune response termed Th17. However, recent research on this and other Th17 cytokines has revealed new sources and functions of IL-17 family members in the innate immune response. This review will highlight recent advances in the field of IL-17 family member cytokines and will predominantly focus on the innate regulation and function of IL-17, IL-17F, and IL-25.
最近,IL-17 家族成员细胞因子已成为研究的重点。IL-17(IL-17A)是该家族中研究得最为透彻的成员,其产生主要归因于适应性免疫应答中一种称为 Th17 的特化 T 辅助细胞亚群。然而,最近对该细胞因子和其他 Th17 细胞因子的研究揭示了 IL-17 家族成员在先天免疫应答中的新来源和新功能。本综述将重点介绍 IL-17 家族成员细胞因子领域的最新进展,并主要关注 IL-17、IL-17F 和 IL-25 的先天调控和功能。
