IL-17 increased the production of vascular endothelial growth factor in rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes

Abstract: Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is expressed in the synovium T cells of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This cytokine is implicated in the inflammation and destruction of the joint. However, the role of IL-17 on the production of vascular endothelial factor (VEGF) important to synovial proliferation has still not been identified. In this study, we investigated the effect on cultured rheumatoid fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) of the IL-17 on the production and expression of VEGF, which p… Show more

“…Deviating Th1 responses into Th2 responses improved Th1 cellmediated inflammation and protected against inflammation-induced angiogenesis in mice and humans (36)(37)(38). Most importantly, Th1 cells seem to coevolve simultaneously with IL-17-producing Th17 cells (39); IL-17 is a cytokine with strong proangiogenic effects (40,41). Because Th1 cell-associated skin and joint inflammation are associated with both Th17 cells and mast cells, the relative contribution of mast cells to inflammation-induced angiogenesis remains to be determined.…”

“…Of note, IL-17 was shown to be proangiogenic and to induce endothelial cell invasion (10). IL-17 has the potential to upregulate VEGF from RA synoviocytes (11) and to promote the development of microvessel structures in RA, as well as in tumor growth (12,13). Recently, a subset of effector Th cells, the IL-17-producing T cell (Th17), was implicated in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases, including uveitis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease.…”

“…These cytokines regulate the inflammatory response and activities related to joint destruction, thereby participating in RA pathogenesis. 33,34) We observed that SD, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, improved the inflammation parameters analysed. These results are similar to those observed for OLM.…”
