Role of Interleukin 17 in arthritis chronicity through survival of synoviocytes via regulation of synoviolin expression [PDF]
Background: The use of TNF inhibitors has been a major progress in the treatment of chronic inflammation. However, not all patients respond. In addition, response will be often lost when treatment is stopped. These clinical aspects indicate that other

The role of interleukin-17 in asthma: a protective response?
While there now exist effective treatments for type 2 high, eosinophilic asthma, there are no specific therapies for 40–50% of people with asthma with other phenotypes, which result from poorly understood underlying pathological mechanisms.

Predictability of IL-28B-polymorphism on protease-inhibitor-based triple-therapy in chronic HCV-genotype-1 patients: A meta-analysis [PDF]
AIM: To investigate the predictability of interleukin-28B single nucleotide polymorphism rs12979860 with respect to sustained virological response (SVR) in chronically hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype-1 patients treated with a protease-inhibitor and pegylated interferon-$\alpha$ (Peg-INF-$\alpha$) based triple-therapy.

Influence of interleukin 17 A and 17 F polymorphisms in keratoconus
Until a few years ago, keratoconus was defined as a noninflammatory degenerative disease. However, recent studies have shown that the altered balance between inflammatory cytokines, proteases, and protease inhibitors, as well as free radicals and oxidants, have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of this disease.

Interleukin‐17 and its target genes: mechanisms of interleukin‐17 function in disease [PDF]
SummaryInterleukin‐17 (IL‐17) has emerged as a central player in the mammalian immune system. Although this cytokine exerts a host‐defensive role in many infectious diseases, it promotes inflammatory pathology in autoimmunity and other settings. A myriad of studies have focused on how IL‐17‐producing cells are generated.

Is interleukin-17 implicated in early knee osteoarthritis pathogenesis as in rheumatoid arthritis?
Background Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a cytokine that promotes activation of multiple catabolic pathways resulting in cartilage and tissue damage. It has features making it increasingly attractive as a biological marker, especially in rheumatoid arthritis
