Bidirectional communication between central nervous system (CNS) and intestine is mediated by nerve, endocrine, immune and other pathways in gut-brain axis. Many diseases of CNS disturb the homeostasis of intestine and gut microbiota. Similarly, the dysbiosis of intestinal and gut microbiota also promotes the progression and deterioration of CNS diseases. IL-23/IL-17 axis is an important inflammatory axis which is widely involved in CNS diseases such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), multiple sclerosis (MS), and ischemic stroke (IS). Attributing to the long anatomically distances between ischemic brain and gut, previous studies on IL-23/IL-17 axis in IS are rarely focused on intestinal tissues. However, recent studies have found that IL-17T cells in CNS mainly originate from intestine. The activation and migration of IL-17T cells to CNS is likely to be affected by the altered intestinal homeostasis. These studies promoted the attention of IL-23/IL-17 axis and gut-brain axis. IS is difficult to treat because of its extremely complex pathological mechanism. This review mainly discusses the relationship between IL-23/IL-17 axis and IS from the perspective of gut-brain axis. By analyzing the immune pathways in gut-brain axis, the activation of IL-23/IL-17 axis, the roles of IL-23/IL-17 axis in gut, CNS and other systems after stoke, this review is expected to provide new enlightenments for the treatment strategies of IS. This article is part of the Special Issue on "Microbiome & the Brain: Mechanisms & Maladies".

Psoriasis is a chronic and incurable inflammatory skin disease usually requiring long-term disease management. Natural phytochemical resveratrol (RES) has been known for high efficiency and low toxicity, exhibiting good anti-psoriasis potential. However, its biological activity is limited by poor solubility, chemical instability, and insufficient skin retention.

Immunoglobulin (Ig) E is a key mediator in the induction and maintenance of allergic inflammation, characterized by a Th2-dominated immune response. Recently epidemiological studies have showed that elevated serum total IgE levels or an increased abundance of mast cells (MCs) at the lesion site are observed in psoriatic patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as atherosclerosis. Although the underlying mechanisms by which IgE synergizing with MCs in promoting these chronic immune-inflammatory diseases remain unclear, the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis appears to play a crucial role in comorbidity of psoriasis and atherosclerosis.

Darier disease is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding for sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca ATPase isoform 2. The skin disease is characterized by a chronic relapsing course with recurrent reddish-brown keratotic papules and plaques located mainly in seborrhoeic areas. Due to chronic inflammation and epidermal barrier defects of the skin, patients often develop severe bacterial and viral superinfections.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune skin disease characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation, primarily driven by the IL-23/IL-17 axis. In addition to immune response, various skin components, including the epidermal barrier and the skin microbiota, have been individually implicated in the disease pathogenesis. Here, we aimed to investigate the interplay between epidermal tight junctions, Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB), and CD4 T cell-mediated immune responses.

Cordyceps polysaccharide (CSP) has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, with potential applications in ischemic stroke. This work is to explore the interventional potential of CSP in MCAO rats and the effects on the intestinal and cerebral IL-23/IL-17 axis. We conducted pharmacological experiments and mechanism exploration in MCAO rats.
