Abstract
A new family of cytokines, IL-17, has recently been defined that reveals a distinct ligand-receptor signaling system. Functional studies have provided evidence for its importance in the regulation of immune responses. Notably, 3 members, IL-17A, IL-17E (IL-25), and IL-17F, have been best characterized both in vitro and in vivo , and have been shown to be proinflammatory in nature. This proinflammatory activity is exemplified by their involvement in pulmonary inflammatory responses, in which both IL-17A and IL-17F are involved in the recruitment of neutrophils, and IL-17E is able to induce T H 2 cytokine production and eosinophilia. Although the elucidation of a detailed mechanism of action continues to be an active area of research, the potent inflammatory activity and its association with various human disease states suggest this new cytokine family as an important contributor to the pathophysiology of human disease conditions, in particular the pulmonary diseases.

Abstract
Syk, a nonreceptor type of protein tyrosine kinase widely expressed in hematopoietic cells, is a candidate suppressor gene in human breast cancer. Reduced expression of Syk protein is correlated with poor prognosis, while its overexpression can reduce the malignant phenotype of breast cancer cells. The mechanism of action of Syk remains unclear. In this study, we utilized low Syk-expressing, highly invasive MDA-MB-231 and high Syk-expressing, less invasive MCF-7 breast cancer cells to investigate the possibility that part of the functional effects of Syk are mediated by cytokines known to play roles in cell migration, invasion or metastasis. Using protein array technology, we determined that MDA-MB-231 cells secrete a number of cytokines known to regulate cellular growth and motility. One such cytokine, growth-related oncogene (GRO), has previously not been described in breast cancer. Of the compounds detected in the culture supernatant of MDA-MB-231, GRO was the only one that was significantly altered by modulation of Syk expression; overexpression of Syk caused a marked reduction in secreted levels of GRO. Conversely, downregulation of the relatively high levels of Syk produced in MCF-7 cells upregulated GRO secretion. At the mRNA level, overexpression of Syk in MDA-MB-231 differentially regulated the 3 GRO isotypes such that message levels of GROalpha and gamma were downregulated while that of GRObeta was not affected. Matrigel invasion assays demonstrated a link between Syk expression and resulting GRO activity in mediating the invasive potential of MDA-MB-231 cells. In summary, our findings provide evidence that human breast cancer cells express and secrete GRO and implicate this cytokine as an essential mediator of the antiinvasive properties of Syk tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
IL-17A was cloned more than 10 years ago and six IL-17 family members (IL-17A-F) have subsequently been described. IL-17A is largely produced by activated memory T lymphocytes but stimulates innate immunity and host defense. IL-17A and IL-17F both mobilize neutrophils partly through granulopoeisis and CXC chemokine induction, as well as increased survival locally. IL-17A and IL-17F production by T lymphocytes is regulated by IL-23 independent of T cell receptor activation. Increasing evidence shows that IL-17 family members play an active role in inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. This places IL-17 family members and their receptors as potential targets for future pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
While the mechanisms underlying the marked sexual dimorphism in inflammatory diseases are not well understood, the sexually dimorphic sympathoadrenal axis profoundly affects the inflammatory response. We tested whether adrenergic receptor-mediated activation of human neutrophil function is sexually dimorphic, since neutrophils provide the first line of defense in the inflammatory response. There was a marked sexual dimorphism in beta(2)-adrenergic receptor binding, using the specific beta(2)-adrenergic receptor ligand, [(3)H]-dihydroalprenolol, with almost three times more binding sites on neutrophils from females (20,878 +/- 2470) compared to males (7331 +/- 3179). There was also a marked sexual dimorphism in the effects of isoprenaline, a beta-adrenergic receptor agonist, which increased nondirected locomotion (chemokinesis) in neutrophils obtained from females, while having no effect on neutrophils from males. Isoprenaline stimulated the release of a chemotactic factor from neutrophils obtained from females, but not from males. This chemotactic factor acts on the G protein-coupled CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) chemokine receptor, since an anti-CXCR2 antibody and the selective nonpeptide CXCR2 antagonist SB225002, inhibited chemotaxis produced by this factor. While interleukin- (IL-) 8 is a principal CXCR2 ligand, isoprenaline did not produce an increase in IL-8 release from neutrophils. IL-8-induced chemotaxis was inhibited in a sexually dimorphic manner by isoprenaline, which also stimulated release of a mediator from neutrophils that induced chemotaxis, that was inhibited by anti-CXCR2 antibodies. These findings indicate an important role for adrenergic receptors in the modulation of neutrophil trafficking, which could contribute to sex-differences in the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Chemokines constitute a large family of structurally related proteins that play a role in leukocyte migration and differentiation. Indeed, the early expression of human CXC chemokine receptor 1 (hCXCR1) and hCXCR2 [homologous to mouse interleukin (IL)-8Rbeta] ligands by the epithelium is a hallmark of the mucosal host defense. Mice lack IL-8; however, granulocyte chemotactic protein-2 (GCP-2)/lipopolysaccharide-induced CXC chemokine, a murine homologue of human GCP-2, has 32% and 61% sequence identity to human IL-8 and GCP-2, respectively, and binds hCXCR1, hCXCR2, and mouse IL-8Rbeta. To better understand the role of GCP-2 in adaptive immunity and as a nasal adjuvant, we characterized the exogenous effects of this CXC chemokine on cellular and humoral mucosal immune responses. GCP-2 significantly enhanced serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and mucosal IgA antibodies through increased cytokine secretion by CD4+ T cells. These alterations in humoral and cellular responses were preceded by an increase in the number of B cells in the nasal tract, a decrease in the number of CD4+ T cells in the nasal tract as well as cervical lymph nodes, and an increase in the number of neutrophils in the nasal tract 12 h after GCP-2 immunization. This chemokine also modulated CD28 expression by CD4+ T cells during CD3epsilon stimulation of wild-type mice. GCP-2 increased CD80 and CD86 expression on B cells during in vitro stimulation in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, cytokine and costimulatory molecule enhancement by GCP-2 was not induced by lymphocytes from IL-8Rbeta-/- mice, suggesting that GCP-2 modulates cellular immunity in part through IL-8Rbeta interactions.

Abstract
The role of the interleukin (IL)-17 family members in the regulation of G-CSF production by lung microvasculature has not been elucidated yet. We therefore investigated the effects of IL-17 and IL-17F on the regulation of G-CSF production by lung microvascular endothelial cells (LMVECs). While a wide range of doses of IL-17 or IL-17F alone did not up-regulate G-CSF production from primary human LMVECs, IL-17 had an enhancing effect on macrophage-derived IL-1beta- and TNF-alpha-induced G-CSF production, whereas IL-17F had an enhancing effect on IL-1beta-induced production, but an inhibitory effect on TNF-alpha-induced secretion. G-CSF production was further enhanced with the combination of three cytokines IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and IL-17. In contrast, three cytokines IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and IL-17F were combined together, G-CSF production was less than that induced by IL-1beta or IL-1beta plus TNF-alpha or IL-17F. Moreover, IL-17 plus Th1 or Th2 cytokine had a modest stimulatory effect on TNF-alpha-induced G-CSF production, whereas IL-17 plus IFN-gamma had an inhibitory effect on IL-1beta-induced release. Similarly, IL-17F plus IL-10, IL-13 or IFN-gamma had an inhibitory effect on IL-1beta-induced production. Our findings indicate that CD4 T cell cytokines IL-17 and IL-17F play a differential regulatory role in G-CSF production by LMVECs stimulated with IL-1beta and/or TNF-alpha, which is also sensitive to Th1 and Th2 cytokine modulation.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-17 is the founding member of an emerging family of inflammatory cytokines whose functions remain poorly defined. IL-17 has been linked to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, and numerous studies implicate this cytokine in inflammation-induced bone loss. It is clear that a major function of IL-17 is to amplify the immune response by triggering production of chemokines, cytokines, and cell-surface markers, ultimately leading to neutrophil chemotaxis and inflammation. As an IL-17 signaling deficiency in mice causes a dramatic reduction in neutrophil chemotaxis and a consequent increased susceptibility to bacterial infection, it is important to define gene targets involved in IL-17-mediated neutrophil trafficking. Here, we demonstrate that IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) cooperatively induce the lipopolysaccharide-inducible CXC chemokine (LIX; a.k.a., CXC chemokine ligand 5, Scya5, or murine granulocyte chemotactic protein-2) in the preosteoblast cell line MC3T3. LIX is induced rapidly at the mRNA and protein levels, likely through the activation of new gene transcription. Conditioned media from MC3T3 cells treated with IL-17 and/or TNF-alpha stimulates neutrophil mobility potently, and LIX is a significant contributing factor to this process. In addition, IL-17 cooperates with bacterial components involved in periodontal disease to up-regulate LIX expression. This study is the first demonstration of LIX expression in bone cells and has implications for inflammatory bone diseases such as arthritis and periodontal disease.
