The IL23/Th17 axis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cell-mediated tissue damage caused either by autoimmunity or immune responses against bacterial infection. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IL17A, IL17F and IL23R genes have been associated with several inflammatory diseases. However, these polymorphisms have not yet been studied in periodontitis. The aim of present study was to evaluate the expression of IL17A and occurrence of the IL17A (rs2275913), IL17F (rs763780) and IL23R (rs11209026) gene polymorphisms in different clinical forms or severity of periodontitis in a sample of Brazilian individuals. Peripheral blood was obtained from 30 non-smoker individuals and analyzed by flow cytometry to determine IL-17 expression. Genomic DNA was obtained from oral swabs in 180 individuals and analyzed by Real-time PCR. The study group was composed by individuals without periodontitis (control), with aggressive periodontitis (AP) and with chronic periodontitis (CP). Higher frequency of IL17A+CD4+ T cells was observed in control group. The A+ genotype from IL17A (rs2275913) was associated with lack of disease. No association was found considering the IL17F and IL23R polymorphisms. Our data suggest that IL17A and the presence of IL17A (rs2275913) A allele are associated with the absence of periodontal disease.

Article Synopsis
- Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition marked by inflammation, where cytokines IL-17A and IL-17F are known to be elevated. A monoclonal antibody called bimekizumab targets both IL-17A and IL-17F to treat HS.
- The study utilized RNA sequencing on skin biopsies from HS patients to explore gene expression changes before and after bimekizumab treatment, revealing key genes related to neutrophil activity that are affected by the drug.
- Results showed that dual inhibition of IL-17A and IL-17F more effectively reduced HS-related gene expression and neutrophil movement in cultured cells than targeting either cytok
Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells and Their Interplay with Th-17 Cell Response Pathway.

As a form of immunomodulatory therapeutics, mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) from umbilical cord (UC) tissue were assessed for their dynamic interplay with the Th-17 immune response pathway. UC-MSCs were able to modulate lymphocyte response by promoting a Th-17-like profile. Such modulation depended on the cell ratio of the cocultures as well as the presence of an inflammatory setting underlying their plasticity.

Purpose: We investigated the therapeutic effect of recombinant thymosin β4 (rTβ4) on rabbit autoimmune dacryoadenitis, an animal model of SS dry eye, and explore its mechanisms.
Methods: Rabbits were treated topically with rTβ4 or PBS solution after disease onset for 28 days, and clinical scores were determined by assessing tear secretion, break-up time, fluorescein, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and periodic acid-Schiff. The expression of inflammatory mediators in the lacrimal glands were measured by real-time PCR.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with an established genetic background. The HLA-Cw*06 allele and different polymorphisms in genes involved in inflammatory responses and keratinocyte proliferation have been associated with the development of the disease. Despite the effectiveness and safety of psoriasis treatment, a significant percentage of patients still do not achieve adequate disease control.

IL-17A+ CD8+ T-cells, termed Tc17 cells, have been identified at sites of inflammation in several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. However, the biological function of human IL-17A+ CD8+ T-cells is not well characterized, likely due in part to the relative scarcity of these cells. Here, we expanded IL-17A+ CD8+ T-cells from healthy donor PBMC or bulk CD8+ T-cell populations using an in vitro polarization protocol.
