Inflammatory Cytokines in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Table 1

IL-17 exerts effects on several cell types and tissues.

T cells	Induces production of proinflammatory IL-6, IL-1beta, and IL-21, providing a feedback loop [148]
	Enhances recruitment of T cells to inflamed tissue [155]
B cells	Drives B-cell differentiation into plasma cells and production of autoantibodies [158, 159]
Monocytes	Enhances migration to inflamed tissue [173]
Epithelial/; endothelial cells	Induces increased production of chemokines and upregulation of adhesion molecules [152]
Neutrophils	Enhances migration to inflamed tissue [154]
