Objective: To examine the effects of interleukin (IL)-17F on the secretion of IL-8 and the gene expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) in endometriotic stromal cells.Design: In vitro experimental study using human samples.Setting: University hospital.Patient(s): Endometriotic tissues were obtained from women with ovarian endometriomas undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Intervention(s): Endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs) were cultured with IL-17F.Main Outcome Measure(s): Concentrations of IL-8 were measured by a specific ELISA, and messenger RNA levels of IL-8 and COX2 were measured by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Result(s): IL-17F increased the secretion of IL-8 from ESCs, and the effect was inhibited by antibodies for IL-17 receptor A and IL-17 receptor C. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) synergistically enhanced IL-17F-induced increase in IL-8 secretion from ESCs. The IL-17F increased the gene expression of IL-8 and COX2 in ESCs.Conclusion(s): These findings suggest that IL-17F may stimulate the development of endometriosis by up-regulation of IL-8 and COX2.
