Activation of neutrophils by autocrine IL-17A-IL-17RC interactions during fungal infection is regulated by IL-6, IL-23, ROR?t and dectin-2.

ABSTRACT: Here we identified a population of bone marrow neutrophils that constitutively expressed the transcription factor ROR?t and produced and responded to interleukin 17A (IL-17A (IL-17)). IL-6, IL-23 and ROR?t, but not T cells or natural killer (NK) cells, were required for IL-17 production in neutrophils. IL-6 and IL-23 induced expression of the receptors IL-17RC and dectin-2 on neutrophils, and IL-17RC expression was augmented by activation of dectin-2. Autocrine activity of IL-17A and its receptor induced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and increased fungal killing in vitro and in a model of Aspergillus-induced keratitis. Human neutrophils also expressed ROR?t and induced the expression of IL-17A, IL-17RC and dectin-2 following stimulation with IL-6 and IL-23. Our findings identify a population of human and mouse neutrophils with autocrine IL-17 activity that probably contribute to the etiology of microbial and inflammatory diseases.

Project description:BackgroundDental implantation has been practiced since ancient times and has gone through several stages. Dentists use dental implants to support dental prostheses such as crowns, bridges, dentures, face prostheses, or as an orthodontic anchor. Thus, the purpose of this study is to detect the role of the immune-genetic variation of IL-17A and related inflammatory cytokine (IL-23) in the initiation and progress of peri implantitis.Material and methodsThis cross-sectional study included 80 subjects (15 peri-implantitis patients, 35 successful implants, and 30 healthy controls); their mean age was (43.91 ± 11.33) years. Blood samples and Peri-implant sulcus fluid (PISF) were collected from all subjects (patients with peri-implantitis, successful implants, and healthy controls) attending the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the Dental College Teaching Hospital, Baghdad University, Baghdad, Iraq. The blood sample detects gene polymorphisms in interleukin-17A by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was carried out to estimate the Peri-implant sulcus fluid (PISF) levels of interleukin-23.ResultThe current study revealed an obvious significant elevation in the mean level of interleukin-23 in the peri-implantitis patient's group more than its level in the successful implant and control groups (P < 0.05). In addition, the result showed that A/A genotype is associated significantly with peri-implantitis OR (95%confidence interval) =6.9 (1.7121 to 27.4638) folds increase risk of peri-implantitis) (p = 0.0065), while G/A genotype had OR 4.9 (0.9539-24.9394) folds increased risk of peri-implantitis, (p = 0.0572). But it was not statistically significant and G/G genotype had a one-fold increase risk of peri-implantitis.ConclusionThe increased level of inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-23) might add to the systemic inflammatory burden a predisposing factor, which may lead to impaired osseointegration and subsequent bone loss or implant failure. In addition, IL-17A gene polymorphism may play a role in peri-implant disease susceptibility, especially in persons carrying the rs2275913 A allele at a higher risk of developing peri-implantitits as compared with those carrying the G allele.
