Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an intensive therapy to cure high-risk haematological malignant disorders, congenital diseases, autoimmune disease and so on. The main complication of HSCT is graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which can cause the death of recipients and affect the therapeutic effect. Many kinds of immune cells and inflammatory factors were involved in the occurrence of GVHD. Twenty years ago the mice and human interleukin-17 (IL-17) were found. A new kind of T cell-CD4(+) IL-17(+) T was found in recent years, named Th17 cells. Now IL-17 and Th17 cells have become the hot spot in the research field of infection immunity, autoimmune diseases, tumor immunity and GVHD. In this article, immunoregulatory effects of interleukin-17 and Th17 cells in GVHD are reviewed.

T Cell Types and Functions

When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Inflammatory Response01:28

Inflammatory Response

An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...
