IL-17A and IL-17F are members of the IL-17 family that play crucial roles in allergic inflammation. Recent studies reported that IL-17A and IL-17F production from a distinct Th lymphocyte subset, Th17, was specifically induced by IL-23, which was produced by dendritic cells and macrophages in response to microbial stimuli. The IL-23-IL-17 axis might therefore provide a link between infections and allergic diseases. In the present study, we investigated the effects of IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-23, alone or in combination, on cytokine and chemokine release from eosinophils and the underlying intracellular mechanisms. Human eosinophils were found to constitutively express receptors for IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-23 at the protein level. IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-23 could induce the release of chemokines GRO-alpha/CXCL1, IL-8/CXCL8, and MIP-1beta/CCL4 from eosinophils, while IL-17F and IL-23 could also increase the production of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and IL-6. Synergistic effects were observed in the combined treatment of IL-17F and IL-23 on the release of proinflammatory cytokines, and the effects were dose-dependently enhanced by IL-23, but not IL-17F. Further investigations showed that IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-23 differentially activated the ERK, p38 MAPK, and NF-kappaB pathways. Moreover, inhibition of these pathways using selective inhibitors could significantly abolish the chemokine release induced by IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-23 and the synergistic increases on IL-1beta and IL-6 production mediated by combined treatment of IL-17F and IL-23. Taken together, our findings provide insight for the Th17 lymphocyte-mediated activation of eosinophils via differential intracellular signaling cascades in allergic inflammation.
