Basic biology and role of interleukin‐17 in immunity and inflammation

Abstract

Interleukin‐17 (also known as interleukin‐17A) is a key cytokine that links T‐cell activation to neutrophil mobilization and activation. As such, interleukin‐17 can mediate protective innate immunity to pathogens or contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. This review summarizes the basic biology of interleukin‐17 and discusses its emerging role in periodontal disease. The current burden of evidence from human and animal model studies suggests that the net effect of interleukin‐17 signaling promotes disease development. In addition to promoting neutrophilic inflammation, interleukin‐17 has potent pro‐osteoclastogenic effects that are likely to contribute to the pathogenesis of periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases involving bone immunopathology. Systemic treatments with anti‐interleukin‐17 biologics have shown promising results in clinical trials for psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis; however, their impact on the highly prevalent periodontal disease has not been investigated or reported. Future clinical trials, preferably using locally administered interleukin‐17 blockers, are required to implicate conclusivelyinterleukin‐17 in periodontitis and, more importantly, to establish an effective adjunctive treatment for this oral inflammatory disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
