Abstract

T cells infiltrate the kidney in both human and experimental glomerulonephritis, and several lines of evidence indicate that T cell-mediated tissue damage plays an important role in the immunopathogenesis of renal inflammatory diseases. However, the functions of the different T cell subsets, particularly the recently identified interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing T cells (Th17 cells), are incompletely understood in glomerulonephritis. Here, we identified renal IL-17-producing T cells in the T cell-mediated model of nephrotoxic nephritis in mice. In vitro, IL-17 enhanced the production of the proinflammatory chemokines CCL2/MCP-1, CCL3/MIP-1alpha, and CCL20/LARC, which are implicated in the recruitment of T cells and monocytes, in mouse mesangial cells. To determine the function of Th17 cells in renal inflammation, we induced nephrotoxic nephritis in IL-23 p19(-/-) mice, which have reduced numbers of Th17 cells, and in IL-17(-/-) mice, which are deficient in the effector cytokine IL-17 itself. In comparison with nephritic wild-type mice, IL-23 p19(-/-) mice demonstrated less infiltration of Th17 cells, and both IL-23 p19(-/-) and IL-17(-/-) mice developed less severe nephritis as measured by renal function, albuminuria, and frequency of glomerular crescent formation. These results demonstrate that the IL-23/IL-17 pathway significantly contributes to renal tissue injury in experimental glomerulonephritis. Targeting the IL-23/Th17 axis may be a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of proliferative and crescentic glomerulonephritis.

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.
