IL-17 is a novel cytokine secreted principally by CD4+ T cells. It has been shown to support the growth of hemopoietic progenitors in vitro; however, its in vivo effects are presently unknown. Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of the murine IL-17 cDNA targeted to the liver (5 x 109 plaque-forming units (PFU) intravenous) resulted in a transiently transgenic phenotype, with dramatic effects on in vivo granulopoiesis. Initially, there was a significant increase (fivefold) in the peripheral white blood count (WBC), including a 10-fold rise in the absolute neutrophil count. This was associated with a doubling in the spleen size over 714 days after gene transfer, which returned to near baseline by day 21, although the white blood cell count remained elevated. There was a profound stimulation of splenic hemopoiesis as demonstrated by an increase in total cellularity by 50% 7 days after gene transfer and an increase in hemopoietic colony formation. A maximal increase in frequency of high proliferative potential colonies (HPPC) (11-fold) and CFU-granulocyte-macrophage (GM) and CFU-granulocyte-erythrocyte-megakaryocyte-monocyte (GEMM) (CFU) (6-fold) was seen on day 3 after IL-17 gene transfer. Both CFU and HPPC remained significantly elevated in the spleen throughout day 21, but at reduced levels compared with day 3. Bone marrow CFU and HPPC were elevated on day 3 only by 75% and 25%, respectively, without changes in total cellularity. Thus, murine IL-17 is a cytokine that can stimulate granulopoiesis in vivo. Since IL-17 is principally produced by CD4+ T cells, this cytokine could have therapeutic implications in AIDS-related bone marrow failure and opportunistic infections.
