Summary
[Homo sapiens] IL17A is a cytokine produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells that plays important roles in the development of inflammatory diseases.
[Homo sapiens] IL17A is an innate-adaptive immunomodulatory cytokine that is produced by gammadelta cells and is a key mediator for the innate immune response to urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
[Homo sapiens] IL17A is a Th17-related cytokine, traditionally thought of as an adaptive responder, has been shown to have various innate sources and functions as a rapidly produced pro-inflammatory mediator. Innate IL17A-producing cells also employ many of the cytokine and transcriptional regulators utilized by Th17 cells.
[Homo sapiens] IL17A signalling enhances the mRNA stability of chemokine CXCL1 through TRAF3IP2, TRAF2-TRAF5 and the RNA-binding protein SRSF1.
[Homo sapiens] IL17A is significantly upregulated in both S. pyogenes inoculated and mock inoculated mice, indicating that the cytokine production can be triggered by inoculation trauma alone. (Demonstrated in mice)
[Homo sapiens] Local production of IL17A in the airways drives early neutrophil infiltration into respiratory syncytial virus infected infant lungs.
[Homo sapiens] IFNG interferes with the IL-1/NFKBIZ axis in β-glucan-activated dendritic cells and promotes T cell-mediated immune responses with increased release of IFNG and IL22, and diminished production of IL17A.
[Mus musculus] Il17a signalling enhances the mRNA stability of chemokine Cxcl1 through Traf3ip2, Traf2-Traf5 and the RNA-binding protein Srsf1.
[Mus musculus] Il17a is significantly upregulated in both S. pyogenes inoculated and mock inoculated mice, indicating that the cytokine production can be triggered by inoculation trauma alone.
[Mus musculus] IL17A inhibits the release of IL23 during pulmonary inflammation and serves as part of negative feedback loop to control antibacterial immunity.
[Mus musculus] Il17a is an intrinsic regulator in coordinating neutrophil and macrophage antimicrobial activity to provide protection against acute pneumonic plague.
[Mus musculus] In mouse model of leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I disease, defective neutrophil recruitment is associated with dysregulated local overproduction of IL17, which drives inflammatory periodontal bone loss.
[Mus musculus] Defb1 is important for the control of early mucosal Candida infection and plays a critical role in the induction of innate inflammatory mediators including, Il1b, Il6, Cxcl1, Il17a, and Il17f.
[Mus musculus] Il17a is rapidly produced during lung injury and significantly contributes to early immunopathogenesis, a process that is orchestrated largely by a distinct population of pulmonary type 3 innate lymphoid cells.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000112115:
The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. This cytokine can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
