10 and T H 17 cells In mice bred in SPF facility, IL-17 is constitutively expressed (only) in CD4 + T cells in the intestine and lung, and requires IL-6-mediated induction of (and IL-23?) IL-6 and independently induce some, but alone do not induce IL-17 in naïve CD4 + T cells The hallmark cytokines and chemokine receptors in the Th17 program (IL-17, IL-17F, IL-22, CCR6) are induced in TCR-activated T cells upon forced expression of T H 17 cells cannot be induced by IL-6 plus TGFβ in naïve CD4 + T cells from -deficient mice Does attenuation of activity in T cells reduce the severity of autoimmune disease?

20 Summary IL-6 induces expression of IL-21 that amplifies an autocrine loop to induce more IL-21 and IL-23 receptor in naive CD4+ T cells. Both IL-21 and IL-23, along with, induce IL-17 expression independently of IL-6. IL-21 and IL-23 induce the orphan nuclear receptor, which in synergy with STAT3 promotes IL-17 expression.
