The role of IL-17 in atherogenesis remains controversial. We previously reported that the TLR/MyD88 signaling pathway plays an important role in high–fat diet, as well as Chlamydophila pneumoniae (Cpn) infection-mediated acceleration of atherosclerosis in ApoE deficient mice. Here we investigated the role of the IL-17A in high-fat diet and Cpn-induced acceleration of atherosclerosis. The aortic sinus plaque and aortic lesion size and lipid composition as well as macrophage accumulation in the lesions were significantly diminished in IL-17A−/− mice fed high-fat diet compared to wild-type C57Bl/6 control mice. As expected, Cpn infection led to a significant increase in size and lipid content of the atherosclerotic lesions in wild-type mice. However, IL-17A−/− mice developed significantly less acceleration of lesion size following Cpn infection compared to wild-type control despite similar levels of blood cholesterol levels. Furthermore, Cpn infection in wild-type but not in IL-17A−/− mice was associated with significant increases in serum concentrations of IL-12p40, CCL2, INFγ and numbers of macrophages in their plaques. Additionally, in vitro studies suggest that IL-17A activates vascular endothelial cells, which secrete cytokines that in turn enhance foam cell formation in bone marrow macrophages. Taken together, our data suggest that IL-17A is pro-atherogenic and that it plays an important role in both diet-induced atherosclerotic lesion development, and Cpn infection-mediated acceleration of atherosclerotic lesions in the presence of high fat diet.
