Association of Variants in IL2RA With Progression of Joint Destruction in Rheumatoid Arthritis
ReviewKnevel R. et al.(2013)· Arthritis & Rheumatism

This systematic literature review examines interleukin and interleukin receptor gene polymorphisms associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis, diagnostics, and treatment. The paper summarizes polymorphisms in multiple IL genes (IL-1B rs16944, rs1143634; IL-6 rs1800795, rs1800796; IL-10 rs1800896; IL-23R rs11209026; IL-17A rs2275913 and others) across diverse populations, their associations with RA susceptibility and disease severity, and discusses current and future immunologic therapeutic targets including TNF inhibitors and IL-6 receptor antagonists.

Genetic polymorphisms of interleukin 17A and interleukin 17F and their association with inflammatory bowel disease in a Chinese Han population
AssociationN=620Xiaofei Zhang et al.(2013)· Inflammation Research

Case-control study of 270 UC and 82 CD patients versus 268 controls in a Chinese Han population found that IL17F rs763780 mutant allele C was significantly associated with increased Crohn's disease risk (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.41-3.04, P=0.033) and ileocolic phenotype. IL17A rs2275913 G-197A variant showed weak association with UC disease severity, and a rare IL17A haplotype (GGTT; rs2275913/rs8193037/rs8193038/rs3804513) was a risk factor for UC (OR 4.58, P=0.034).

Confirmation of STAT4, IL2/IL21, and CTLA4 polymorphisms in rheumatoid arthritis
ReviewNina A. Daha et al.(2009)· Arthritis & Rheumatism

This systematic literature review examines interleukin (IL) and interleukin receptor gene polymorphisms associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), covering studies from the past 10 years. The review discusses the pathogenesis of RA as a multifactorial autoimmune disease where genetic factors account for approximately 60% of disease risk. Multiple polymorphisms across IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, and IL-23R genes have been investigated in various populations, with inconsistent results across populations. The paper also reviews current and future therapeutic targets including anti-TNF, anti-IL-1, anti-IL-6, and anti-IL-17 treatments.

About IL17A

This gene is a member of the IL-17 receptor family which includes five members (IL-17RA-E) and the encoded protein is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. IL-17A-mediated downstream pathways induce the production of inflammatory molecules, chemokines, antimicrobial peptides, and remodeling proteins. The encoded protein elicits crucial impacts on host defense, cell trafficking, immune modulation, and tissue repair, with a key role in the induction of innate immune defenses. This cytokine stimulates non-hematopoietic cells and promotes chemokine production thereby attracting myeloid cells to inflammatory sites. This cytokine also regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases and can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). IL-17A plays a pivotal role in various infectious diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, and cancer. High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. The lung damage induced by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is to a large extent, a result of the inflammatory response promoted by cytokines such as IL17A.
