Crohn's Disease (CD) is a lifelong inflammatory condition with underlying environmental and genetic components. CD affects multiple parts of the gastrointestinal tract and has a growing incidence in Western societies. IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) variants have been identified as susceptibility or resistance factors for CD in genome-wide association studies. Accordingly, IL-23 is required for the development of experimental IBD in many murine models. IL-23R is expressed by both innate and adaptive immune cells which include Th17, NKT, γδ T cells and RORγT+ innate lymphoid cells all of which are capable of secreting IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22 and IFN-γ upon IL-23 stimulation. During the last decade pathogenic and protective roles have been described for these cytokines in the IBD pathogenesis. More recently, innate lymphoid cells have been implicated in disease development. In this review, we have summarized and discussed these findings with an emphasis on not only the contribution of Th17 but also of innate lymphoid cells to disease etiology.
