Differential effects of interleukin-17A and 17F on cell interactions between immune cells and stromal cells from synovium or skin.

ABSTRACT: We compared the contribution of IL-17A and IL-17F in co-culture systems mimicking cell interactions as found in inflamed synovium and skin. Synoviocytes or skin fibroblasts were co-cultured with activated PBMC, with IL-17A, IL-17 A/F, IL-17F, IL-23, anti-IL-17A, anti-IL-17A/F or anti-IL-17F antibodies. IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-6 and IL-10 production was measured at 48 h. mRNA expression of receptor subunits for IL-23, IL-12 and IL-17 was assessed at 24 h. Both cell activation and interactions were needed for a high IL-17A secretion while IL-17F was stimulated by PHA activation alone and further increased in co-cultures. IL-17F levels were higher than IL-17A in both co-cultures (p < 0.05). IL-17F addition decreased IL-17A secretion (p < 0.05) but IL-17A addition had no effect on IL-17F secretion.
