Interleukin-17 receptor (IL-17R) is a cytokine receptor which belongs to new subfamily of receptors binding proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 17A, a member of IL-17 family ligands produced by T helper 17 cells (Th17). [2] IL-17R family consists of 5 members: IL-17RA, IL-17RB, IL-17RC, IL-17RD and IL-17RE. Functional IL-17R is a transmembrane receptor complex usually consisting of one IL-17RA, which is a founding member of the family, and second other family subunit, thus forming heteromeric receptor binding different ligands. IL-17A, a founding member of IL-17 ligand family binds to heteromeric IL-17RA/RC receptor complex. [3] IL-17RB binds preferentially IL-17B and IL-17E [4] [5] and heteromeric IL-17RA/RE complex binds IL-17C. However, there is still unknown ligand for IL-17RD. The first identified member IL-17RA is located on human chromosome 22, whereas other subunits IL-17RB to IL-17RD are encoded within human chromosome 3.
IL17RD is probably the most ancient member of IL-17 receptor family. It was firstly identified in zebrafish and its homologues were also found in sea lamprey and C. elegans . [6] There are two IL-17Rs (IL-17RA and IL-17RD) in the genome of the basal chordate Amphioxus . [7] After two rounds of whole genome duplications, these two IL-17R genes expanded into five early vertebrate IL-17R genes, IL-17RA to IL-17RE. Two (IL-17RA and IL-17RD) are found in most vertebrates, whereas the other three (IL-17RB, IL-17RC and IL-17RE) have undergone some losses in vertebrates during evolution.
Structure of IL-17 receptors is unique in comparison with all other known receptor families. IL-17RA is by far the largest member of the family and has the longest cytoplasmic tail of the family. This cytoplasmic tail provides docking sites for numerous signaling intermediates. However, conformational changes mediated after ligand binding are essential for association of these signaling molecules as well as the second receptor subunit and enable subsequent signal transduction. IL-17RA/RC receptor complex is composed of both alpha helices and beta sheets and its extracellular part contains two fibronectin domains, which are involved in formation of two ligand binding sites. [8] [9]
Intracellular part of IL-17 receptors consists of several structural domains including SEFIR motif, a highly conserved motif within IL-17R family. Although SEFIR motif also serves as signaling molecule in IL-1R or Toll-like receptor families, its signaling features and associated adaptor molecules are quite different in IL-17 receptor family. [10] [11] In case of IL-17RA, it has a longer cytoplasmic tail which contains some additional structural domains, such as TILL domain ("TIR-like loop") or inhibitory CBAD domain ("C/EBPβ-activation domain"). [11] [12]
IL-17RA has been observed at high levels in various tissues such as haematopoietic, bone marrow, thymus, and spleen tissue. IL-17RA is also normally found at low levels in colon, small intestine, and lung tissues. [13] IL-17RA is expressed in CD8+ T cells, and upregulated by IL-15 and IL-21. IL-17RA may be internalised after binding IL-17A. [13]
IL-17RB is highly expressed in the kidney, liver and Th2 cells and its overexpression promotes triggering of Th2 immune response. [14] [15]
IL-17RC expression is low in haematopoietic tissues and high in non-immune cells of the prostate, liver, kidney, thyroid and joints. [13]
Another family subunit IL-17RE is highly expressed in Th17 cells. [16]
Signaling via IL-17R protects our body against several bacterial and fungal infections caused by invading pathogens, especially against Candida albicans . [17] Binding of proinflammatory cytokin IL-17A to IL-17 receptor causes important conformational changes that enable binding of signaling adaptors, such as Act1 or TRAF proteins. Binding of these signaling adaptors triggers activation of several signaling pathways, including NF-κB, pathways of MAPKs (mitogen-activated protein kinases) or C/EBPs pathway. [18] Activation of these pathways results in expression and production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα or IL-1β, chemokines, which drive infiltration of macrophages and antimicrobial products, for example defensins and mucins. [19] All these products contribute to the development of inflammation and elimination of various foreign pathogens. Patients with impaired IL-17R signaling suffer from yeast infections, such as CMC (chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis), or respiratory infections. [20] [21] [ relevant? ]
Apart from production of these inflammatory products de novo, signaling via IL-17R also promotes stabilization of already existent specific mRNA transcripts. This stabilization prolongs the half-life of mRNAs and prevents their quick degradation. Again, these mRNA transcripts predominantly encode proinflammatory cytokines or chemokines. [22]
Although IL-17R provides crucial protection against a variety of microbial infections in humans, it must be very strictly regulated. Immoderate and undue activation of IL-17R by IL-17A results in development of several autoimmune diseases, specifically psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis. [23]
These days, several monoclonal antibodies neutralizing IL-17A have potential for the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans, such as plaque psoriasis. Majority of these monoclonal antibodies are humanized IgG1. [24] This therapy may also be soon used for protection against periodontal bone loss as it is currently being tested in mice. IL-17RA has been observed at high levels in people undergoing treatment for cardiac fibroblasts and in certain tissues such as: haematopoietic, bone marrow, thymus, and spleen tissue. [13]
Approved anti-IL-17(R) drugs include: Brodalumab (Siliq), an antibody targeting IL-17 receptor is approved for the treatment of psoriasis. [25] Ixekizumab and secukinumab approved for plaque psoriasis are antibodies which target IL-17A itself rather than the receptor. [26] [27]
Cytokines are a broad and loose category of small proteins important in cell signaling. Due to their size, cytokines cannot cross the lipid bilayer of cells to enter the cytoplasm and therefore typically exert their functions by interacting with specific cytokine receptors on the target cell surface. Cytokines have been shown to be involved in autocrine, paracrine and endocrine signaling as immunomodulating agents.
Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is an interleukin that is naturally produced by dendritic cells, macrophages, neutrophils, helper T cells and human B-lymphoblastoid cells (NC-37) in response to antigenic stimulation. IL-12 belongs to the family of interleukin-12. IL-12 family is unique in comprising the only heterodimeric cytokines, which includes IL-12, IL-23, IL-27 and IL-35. Despite sharing many structural features and molecular partners, they mediate surprisingly diverse functional effects.
Interleukin-26 (IL-26) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL26 gene.
Interleukin-25 (IL-25) – also known as interleukin-17E (IL-17E) – is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL25 gene on chromosome 14. IL-25 was discovered in 2001 and is made up of 177 amino acids.
Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is protein that in humans is encoded by the IL22 gene.
Interleukin 20 (IL20) is a protein that is in humans encoded by the IL20 gene which is located in close proximity to the IL-10 gene on the 1q32 chromosome. IL-20 is a part of an IL-20 subfamily which is a part of a larger IL-10 family.
Interleukin 17 family is a family of pro-inflammatory cystine knot cytokines. They are produced by a group of T helper cell known as T helper 17 cell in response to their stimulation with IL-23. Originally, Th17 was identified in 1993 by Rouvier et al. who isolated IL17A transcript from a rodent T-cell hybridoma. The protein encoded by IL17A is a founding member of IL-17 family. IL17A protein exhibits a high homology with a viral IL-17-like protein encoded in the genome of T-lymphotropic rhadinovirus Herpesvirus saimiri. In rodents, IL-17A is often referred to as CTLA8.
T helper 17 cells (Th17) are a subset of pro-inflammatory T helper cells defined by their production of interleukin 17 (IL-17). They are related to T regulatory cells and the signals that cause Th17s to actually inhibit Treg differentiation. However, Th17s are developmentally distinct from Th1 and Th2 lineages. Th17 cells play an important role in maintaining mucosal barriers and contributing to pathogen clearance at mucosal surfaces; such protective and non-pathogenic Th17 cells have been termed as Treg17 cells.
Gamma delta T cells are T cells that have a γδ T-cell receptor (TCR) on their surface. Most T cells are αβ T cells with TCR composed of two glycoprotein chains called α (alpha) and β (beta) TCR chains. In contrast, γδ T cells have a TCR that is made up of one γ (gamma) chain and one δ (delta) chain. This group of T cells is usually less common than αβ T cells. Their highest abundance is in the gut mucosa, within a population of lymphocytes known as intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs).
Interleukin 17 receptor A, also known as IL17RA and CDw217, is a human gene.
Interleukin 20 receptors (IL20R) belong to the IL-10 family. IL20R are involved in both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune response. There are two types of IL20R: Type I and Type II.
Interleukin-17A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL17A gene. In rodents, IL-17A used to be referred to as CTLA8, after the similarity with a viral gene.
The Interleukin-1 family is a group of 11 cytokines that plays a central role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses to infections or sterile insults.
Interleukin 23 (IL-23) is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of an IL-12B (IL-12p40) subunit and an IL-23A (IL-23p19) subunit. IL-23 is part of the IL-12 family of cytokines. The functional receptor for IL-23 consists of a heterodimer between IL-12Rβ1 and IL-23R.
Interleukin 17 receptor D is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL17RD gene.
Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are immune cells from the lymphoid lineage that are part of the innate immune system. These cells participate in innate mechanisms on mucous membranes, contributing to tissue homeostasis, host-commensal mutualism and pathogen clearance. They are part of a heterogeneous group of innate lymphoid cells, which is traditionally divided into three subsets based on their expression of master transcription factors as well as secreted effector cytokines - ILC1, ILC2 and ILC3.
Dectin-2 or C-type lectin domain containing 6A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLEC6A gene. Dectin-2 is a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. The encoded protein is a type II transmembrane protein with an extracellular carbohydrate recognition domain. It functions as a pattern recognition receptor recognizing α-mannans and as such plays an important role in innate immune response to fungi. Expression is found on macrophages and dendritic cells. It can also be found at low levels in Langerhans cells and peripheral blood monocytes, where expression levels could be increased upon induction of inflammation.
Interleukin 17F (IL-17F) is signaling protein that is in human is encoded by the IL17F gene and is considered a pro-inflammatory cytokine. This protein belongs to the interleukin 17 family and is mainly produced by the T helper 17 cells after their stimulation with interleukin 23. However, IL-17F can be also produced by a wide range of cell types, including innate immune cells and epithelial cells.
CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 4, formerly termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 4, is a small transmembrane protein which passes the plasma membrane four times. It has 3 known isoforms, the CMTM4-v1 to CMTM4-v3 proteins. Protein isoforms are variant products that are made by alternative splicing of a single gene. The gene for the CMTM4 isoforms is located in band 22 on the long arm of chromosome 16. The CMTM4 gene and its 3 isoform proteins belong to the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family of structurally and functionally related genes and proteins. CMTM4-v1 and CMTM4-v2 are widely expressed in multiple human tissue while CMTM4-v3 has been detected only in the kidney and placental tissues.
Act 1 adaptor protein is an essential intermediate in the interleukin-17 pathway. The IL-17 protein is a pro-inflammatory cytokine important for tissue inflammation in host defense against infection and in autoimmune disease. It is produced by the CD4 + T cells, in particular the Th17 cells. There are 6 subtypes of IL-17, from IL-17A to IL17-F, these subtypes have nearly identical structures. We know that the cytokines are interacting homotypically, but IL-17A and IL-17F are capable do perform heterotypic interaction too.
