IL-23 activates pathogenic Th17 cells to drive inflammatory disease at barrier surfaces. Kim et al. now identify oral epithelial cells as the critical producers of IL-23 in human and mouse periodontitis, linking microbial dysbiosis to non-hematopoietic regulation of IL-17-associated inflammation.
IL-23 激活致病性 Th17 细胞,在屏障表面引发炎症性疾病。Kim 等人现在确定口腔上皮细胞是人类和小鼠牙周炎中 IL-23 的关键产生细胞,将微生物失调与非造血细胞对 IL-17 相关炎症的调控联系起来。
