Manipulation of TH17 responses in pulmonary immunity and disease through vaccination

Abstract: Since the discovery of a novel subset of CD4 + T helper cells, T H 17 cells have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases, including autoimmunity, allergic reactions and autoinflammatory diseases. Conversely, it has also been determined that T H 17 cells are required to mount a protective immune response to a number of pathogens. It has therefore been of great interest to manipulate T H 17 responses to either prevent disease or promote immunity. Vaccination is a particularly attractive approach for th… Show more

“…The Th1 polarization was confirmed by the high production of IFN-γ and very low release of IL-4 in culture supernatants of splenocytes in all immunized groups. A third type of inducible T cell immunity involves IL-17 production, a cytokine initially found to play a central role in inflammation and autoimmunity and now recognized as an important cytokine involved in normal responses to pathogens, such as those of the respiratory tract (Lu et al, 2008; Sonnenberg and Weiner, 2009), and in protective immunity induced by vaccination (Bettelli et al, 2007; Moffitt et al, 2011). Here we report the production of IL-17A in mice immunized by the IN route, while a lower IL-17A response was observed in mice primed-boosted by the SC route.…”

“…Using DNA-based vaccinations for manipulating IL-17 T-cell responses might be an alternative. This approach can range from nonviral transfection (naked DNA or naked DNA loaded into liposomes) to viral transduction (DNA incorporated into a specific vector that targets the mucosal surface of the lung) (86). Although this approach may have great potential, it is even further away from clinical reality in the treatment of lung chronic lung disorders.…”

“…Equally important in designing a safe vaccine is to measure IL‐17, which in various closely related forms, is elaborated by T helper type 17 (Th17) CD4 + T cells during innate and adaptive immune responses. The role of IL‐17 in vaccine design, however, has been controversial in that although it has been deemed important in protection against select microbial infections, it has also been deemed as a factor in generation and maintenance of auto‐immune responses . These data suggest that it is important to measure IL‐15 and IL‐17 in the innate and adaptive phases of the immune response in vaccine design.…”
