Gene Information

General description

IL-17A (interleukin 17A) is the first cytokine member of the family composed of IL-17A-F. These cytokines are mainly produced by activated CD4+ (cluster of differentiation) T cells. IL-17A is predominantly synthesized by T-helper (Th)-17 lymphocytes, γδ T cells (γδ-17), cytotoxic CD8+ T cells (Tc17), natural killer T (NKT) cells, and neutrophils.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IL-17A (interleukin 17A) acts as a regulator of immune responses in inflammatory disorders, and acts as a potent pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine where it promotes the release of other pro-inflammatory cytokines from a variety of cells. This cytokine is linked with pain, and IL-17A and IL-17A+ T cells are found in patients with arthritic pain, and in induced animal models of sciatic nerve, and optic nerve injury with neuropathic pain. This protein is thought to be involved in myocardial remodeling and fibrosis, where it promotes the synthesis of collagens and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and activates cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
Recombinant rat IL-17 produced from Escherichia coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide containing 268 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 30kDa.

Physical form

Lyophilized (from 10 mM Sodium Citrate, pH 3.0).

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 μg/μL (Note: Gently pipetting to dissolve). The solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers.

Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) occur frequently after surgery, especially in aged patients. Surgery-induced neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of PND. Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) increases after surgical stress and will be involved in BBB

Ischemic retinopathies (IRs), such as retinopathy of prematurity and diabetic retinopathy, are characterized by an initial phase of microvascular degeneration that results in retinal ischemia, followed by exaggerated pathologic neovascularization (NV). Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have potent pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory
