Tc17 biology and function: Novel concepts

European Journal of Immunology
Christina LückelMagdalena Huber

Abstract

Research over the past years has provided increasing understanding about IL-17-producing CD8+ T cells termed Tc17 or IL-17+ CD8+ T cells, their distribution and role in a range of diverse immune processes. These comprise resistance to pathogens and tissue homeostasis, but also contribution to autoimmunity and cancer, as well as involvement in gut inflammation, lung diseases and graft-versus-host-disease. Tc17 cells are regulated by unique differentiation mechanisms distinguishing them from other IL-17-producing T cells, including Th17, mucosal-associated invariant T cells, and γδ17 T cells, thus ensuring their specific function in immune responses. Here, we review recent advances in understanding Tc17 cell differentiation and function, and highlight experimental evidence from human studies on patients suffering from organ-specific autoimmunity including psoriasis, spondyloarthritis and MS as well as from ulcerative colitis and gastrointestinal tract-associated cancers. We also discuss mouse models analyzing Tc17 characteristics and indicate mechanisms of cross-talk between Tc17 cells and immune or nonimmune cells, enabling their effector function in both protective as well as pathologic immune responses.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
