Interleukin (IL)-17A is a key inflammatory mediator contributing to chronic tissue inflammation. The present study sought to determine whether IL-17A plays a role in regulating neuroinflammation, hemodynamics and sympathetic outflow in normal and hypertensive animals. In urethane-anesthetized rats, intravenous (IV) injection of IL-17A induced dramatic and prolonged increases in blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA), which were significantly attenuated by an IL-17 receptor A (IL-17RA) siRNA in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Either intracerebroventricular (ICV) or PVN microinjection of IL-17A also elicited a similar excitatory response in BP, HR and RSNA. IV IL-17A upregulated the mRNA level of IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-17RA in the PVN. Additionally, IV IL-17A activated brain-resident glial cells and elevated the gene expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the PVN, which were markedly diminished by PVN microinjection of IL-17RA siRNA. Pretreatments with microglia or astrocyte inhibitor attenuated the increase in BP, HR and RSNA in response to PVN IL-17A. Moreover, ICV IL-17A activated transforming growth factor-β activated kinase 1, p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase and transcriptional nuclear factor κB in the PVN. IL-17A interacted with TNF-α or IL-1β synergistically to exaggerate its influence on hemodynamic and sympathetic responses. Central intervention suppressing IL-17RA in the PVN significantly reduced angiotensin II-induced hypertension, neuroinflammation and sympathetic tone in the rats. Collectively, these data indicated that IL-17A in the brain promotes neuroinflammation to advance sympathetic activation and hypertension, probably by a synergistic mechanism involving the interaction with various inflammatory mediators within the brain.
