Abstract
T helper 17 (Th17) cells produce a set of cytokines that include IL-17 family members, IL-21, IL-22, and IL-26. These cytokines all contribute to the classic function of Th17 cells in combatting extracellular infection and promoting inflammation in autoimmune diseases. However, of the Th17 cytokines, only IL-26 has direct antimicrobial activity against microbes and can activate a broad range of immune cells through its ability to bind DNA and trigger pattern recognition receptors. It is noteworthy that IL-26 is produced by mammalian cells, including human Th17 cells, but is absent in rodents. As such, IL-26 is a potential therapeutic target to augment host immune responses against microbial pathogens but also to prevent inflammation and tissue damage in a variety of autoimmune diseases.
