The IL-17 family is an evolutionarily old cytokine family consisting of six members (IL-17A-F). IL-17 family cytokines signal through heterodimeric receptors that include the shared IL-17RA subunit which is widely expressed throughout the body on both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. The founding family member, IL-17A, is usually referred to as IL-17 and has received most attention for proinflammatory roles in autoimmune diseases like psoriasis. However, IL-17 is associated with a wide array of diseases with perhaps surprisingly variable pathologies. This review will focus on recent advances in the known and emerging roles of IL-17 during health and in disease pathogenesis. To decipher the functions of IL-17 in diverse disease processes it is useful to first consider the physiological functions that IL-17 contributes to health. We will then discuss how these beneficial functions can be diverted towards pathogenic amplification of deleterious pathways driving chronic disease.
