Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a CD4 T-cell-derived proinflammatory
cytokine. We investigated the effects of locally produced IL-17 by
tumors as a means to evaluate its biologic function. Although recombinant IL-17 protein or retroviral transduction of
IL-17 gene into tumors did not affect in vitro
proliferation, IL-17 transfectants grew more rapidly in vivo when
compared with controls. Immunostaining for Factor VIII revealed that
tumors transduced with IL-17 had significantly higher vascular density
when compared with controls. IL-17 indeed elicited neovascularization
in rat cornea. In addition, angiogenic activity present in the
conditioned media of CD4 T cells was markedly suppressed by
neutralizing monoclonal antibody to IL-17. IL-17 had no
direct effect on the growth of vascular endothelial cells, whereas
IL-17 significantly stimulated migration. IL-17 also markedly promoted
the cord formation of vascular endothelial cells. In addition, IL-17
up-regulated elaboration of a variety of proangiogenic factors by
fibroblasts as well as tumor cells. These findings reveal a novel role
for IL-17 as a CD4 T-cell-derived mediator of angiogenesis that
stimulates vascular endothelial cell migration and cord formation and
regulates production of a variety of proangiogenic factors.
Furthermore, they suggest that inhibition of biologic action of IL-17
may have therapeutic benefits when applied to angiogenesis-related disorders.
