Abstract |
The dysregulation of inflammatory cytokines can cause a variety of diseases, such as autoimmunity and cancer. Since their identification in 2005, Th17 cells and its signature cytokine IL-17, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and inflammatory associated cancers such as colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Recently, IL-22 a Th17 related cytokine has been shown to be pathogenic in psoriasis and RA. In this review, we will summarize the biological functions of IL-17 and IL-22, their role in autoimmune diseases and briefly review results from clinical trials targeting IL-17 or its receptor for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Next, we will discuss pre-clinical and clinical data supporting the rationale of targeting other cytokines implicated in the Th17/IL-17 pathway, such as IL-22 and IL-23. Finally, we discuss the role of IL-17, and in particularly IL-22 in tumour immunity and possible therapeutic interventions. |
