Background

Interleukin-21, also alternatively named IL-17C, is a pro-inflammatory cytokine and member of the IL-17 family. The IL-17 family is comprised of at least six members: IL-17A-F (1, 2). IL-21, along with IL-17B, appears to stimulate release of TNF and IL-1 from the monocytic THP-1 cell line thus appearing to have a different receptor and induction pattern than IL-17A (1, 2). As a pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-21 augments the inflammatory process in arthritis models (2, 3). Interleukin-21 is induced in epithelial cells by bacterial antigens and other inflammatory ligands such as imiquimod, exhibiting a direct linkage with innate immune receptors such as TLRs (2, 3). The IL-21 receptor complex appears to be comprised of IL-17RA or IL-17RE. Antibody to IL-21 allows further analysis of the unique regulatory activity, cellular receptors and cellular targets of IL-21 (IL-17C) versus other members of the IL-17 family such as IL-17AThe study of Interleukin-21 and its contribution to diseases caused by impaired epithelial barriers in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, asthma or inflammatory bowel disease potentiate development of new therapies directed at regulation of IL-21 or other IL-17 family members (4). The linkage of Interleukin-21 with epithelial cells also furthers the study of the innate immune functions of epithelial cells.
