Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated Th17 (T-helper 17) cells and certain cells belonging to the innate immune system. Th17 cells play an important role in autoimmune diseases and protection against bacteria and fungi. IL-17A acts on a broad range of cell types to induce expression of cytokines, chemokines and metalloproteinases. As a result, secretion of IL-17A promotes inflammatory responses, which leads to the recruitment of neutrophils, enhancement of antibody production and activation of T cells. Increased expression of IL-17A is seen in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also associated with asthma, psoriasis, cancer and transplant rejection.
