Interleukin (IL)-17 protects epithelial barriers by inducing the secretion of antimicrobial peptides. However, the effect of IL-17 on Paneth cells (PCs), the major producers of antimicrobial peptides in the small intestine, is unclear. Here, we show that the targeted ablation of the IL-17 receptor (IL-17R) in PCs disrupts their antimicrobial functions and decreases the frequency of ileal PCs. These changes become more pronounced after colonization with IL-17 inducing segmented filamentous bacter ...[more]
