Abstract
Background: IL-17C has been described in a variety of inflammatory diseases driven by neutrophils. However, the role of IL-17C in neutrophilic asthma has not been completely characterized.
Methods: The level of IL-17C in asthmatic patients and mice was assessed. Il-17c-deficient mice or mice treated with exogenous rmIL-17C were performed for OVA/CFA-induced asthmatic mice model. Pulmonary inflammation was evaluated by histological analysis, flow cytometry and cytokine analysis. Il-17re-overexpressed Raw264.7 were used in vitro to investigate the role of IL-17C in macrophage polarization.
Results: Here, we show IL-17C were increased in serum or plasma from asthmatic patients and OVA/CFA-induced asthma mice. In the OVA/CFA-induced model, exogenous rmIL-17C aggravated neutrophil- and Type 17-dominated inflammation and promoted M1 macrophage differentiation, whereas deficiency of Il-17c reversed the pro-inflammatory phenotypes and inhibited the expansion of M1 macrophages. In vitro, IL-17C in synergy with IFN-γ induced STAT1 activation in Il-17re overexpressed Raw264.7 to upregulate M1-related genes expression, and promoted pro-inflammatory M1 polymerization, whereas IL-17C in contrast to the effect of IL-4 inhibited STAT6 activation, to reduce Raw264.7 differentiation to M2 macrophage and functional M2-related genes expression.
Conclusions: IL-17C promotes allergic inflammation via M1 polarization of pulmonary macrophages in neutrophilic asthma. Modulation of the IL-17C/IL-17RE axis represents a novel therapeutic target in neutrophilic asthma.
期刊介绍：
Cell Communication and Signaling (CCS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal that focuses on cellular signaling pathways in both normal and pathological conditions. It publishes original research, reviews, and commentaries, welcoming studies that utilize molecular, morphological, biochemical, structural, and cell biology approaches. CCS also encourages interdisciplinary work and innovative models, including in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches, to facilitate investigations of cell signaling pathways, networks, and behavior.
Starting from January 2019, CCS is proud to announce its affiliation with the International Cell Death Society. The journal now encourages submissions covering all aspects of cell death, including apoptotic and non-apoptotic mechanisms, cell death in model systems, autophagy, clearance of dying cells, and the immunological and pathological consequences of dying cells in the tissue microenvironment.
