Objective   A growing body of evidence suggests chronic inflammation triggers the process of endometrial carcinogenesis. Interleukin (IL) 17A is an important proinflammatory factor involved in the tumour angiogenesis processes of many solid tumours. This study aimed to characterize the function of IL17A in endometrioid-type endometrial carcinoma.Methods   Levels of IL17A in human endometrial tissues were analysed by immunohistochemistry. In vitro proliferation and migration were analysed in Ishikawa cells treated with IL17A, using cell counting kit-8, wound healing and transwell assays. Western blots were used to analyse levels of oestrogen receptor (ER)α and ERβ proteins in Ishikawa cells treated with IL17A.Results   IL17A levels were significantly higher in endometrial carcinoma tissues than in endometrial hyperplasic tissues. Significantly increased proliferation and migration was observed in Ishikawa cells treated with IL17A versus controls. Investigation of the molecular mechanism revealed that IL17A treatment upregulated the ERα/ERβ protein ratio in Ishikawa cells.Conclusions   IL17A may be an important proinflammatory factor involved in promoting endometrial carcinogenesis.
