IL-26 is a newly discovered IL-10 cytokine family member mainly secreted by Th17 cells. However, the relationship between IL-26 and lung cancer remains unclear. The present study reported that IL-26 is involved in the production and promotion of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) for the first time. The concentrations of IL-26 and several Th17-related cytokines in MPE and peripheral blood (PB) from MPE patients were measured. IL-26, IL-10, and IL-6 were elevated in MPE compared to PB. The cell resource of IL-26 was primary Th17 cells measured by flow cytometry, whereas Tc17 cells and macrophages could also contribute to higher concentration of IL-26 in MPE. Abundant IL-6 and IL-23 in MPE could promote the frequency of IL-26 expressed by CD4+T cells through phosphorylating STAT3 signaling pathway and promoting the expression of a specific Th17 lineage marker RORγt subsequently. IL-26 could selectively increase Th22 proportion through up-regulating the percentage of Ki-67 expressed by CD4+T cells and the expression of IL-22 secreted by memory CD4+T cells. In addition, IL-26 could decrease secretion of granzyme B. The tumor-killing activity of CD8+T cells were inhibited as well when cocultured with malignant cells. Furthermore, the accumulation of IL-26 protein in MPE predicted poor patient survival. In summary, our results indicated that IL-26 was involved in the pathogenesis of MPE by exerting its impacts on both CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells.
