IL-17 is a T cell-derived cytokine that stimulates stromal cells and macrophages to secrete proinflammatory cytokines. We hypothesized that IL-17 might play a role in alloimmune responses, and that interference with its activity might suppress allograft rejection. IL-17R:Fc or control IgG was added at the start of mouse MLR or was administered i.p. (100500 µg/day) for different durations post-transplant to murine recipients of MHC-mismatched cardiac allografts. IL-17R:Fc (50200 µg/ml) markedly inhibited T cell proliferation in vitro and significantly prolonged nonvascularized cardiac allograft median survival time from 13 to 20 days (100 µg/day; days 0 and 1) or to 19 days (100300 µg/day; days 04). Survival of vascularized grafts was also extended significantly from 10.5 to 19 days by IL-17R:Fc (500 µg/day; days 06). To address a possible mechanism by which IL-17 may promote alloreactivity, we examined the influence of IL-17 on the differentiation and function of bone marrow-derived cells propagated in granulocyte-macrophage CSF with or without IL-4 to promote dendritic cell (DC) growth. A minor proportion of CD11c+ DC expressed the IL-17R. IL-17 promoted the maturation of DC progenitors, as evidenced by increased cell surface expression of CD11c, costimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80, CD86), and MHC class II Ag, and allostimulatory capacity. IL-17 had a lesser effect on the phenotype and function of more fully differentiated myeloid DC. These findings suggest a role for IL-17 in allogeneic T cell proliferation that may be mediated in part via a maturation-inducing effect on DC. IL-17 appears to be a novel target for therapeutic intervention in allograft rejection.
