title: Effect of IL-17 on in vitro hematopoietic progenitor cells growth and cytokine release in normal and post-irradiated murine bone marrow.
abstract: The influence of recombinant human IL-17 on granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) and erythroid (BFU-E and CFU-E) progenitors and the release of IL-1alpha/beta, IL-6 and erythropoietin (EPO) was estimated in the bone marrow cells obtained from normal and sublethally irradiated mice. In normal mice IL-17 increased CFU-GM and BFU-E and reduced CFU-E derived colonies numbers and augmented release of IL-6 and EPO. In irradiated mice the effects of IL-17 on hematopoietic progenitors were lineage-dependent, as well as dependent on their stage of differentiation and the time after the irradiation. IL-17 had no major effects on CFU-GM on day 1 and 3, but decreased their number on day 2, while enhanced both BFU-E and CFU-E on day 1 and 2 after irradiation, whereas on day 3 its effect on erythroid progenitors was again as observed in normal mice. After irradiation, IL-17 increased the release of IL-1alpha, IL-6 and EPO. The observed effects suggested the involvement of IL-17 in the regulation of hematopoiesis and indicated that its effects on both hematopoietic progenitors and cytokine release are dependent on the physiological/pathological status of the organism.
