IL-1 Th17 (The mechanism of Th17 cell development induced by excess IL-1 signaling) 23 12 (Il1rn-/-) IL-1 IL-17 Th17 TGF-β IL-6 Il1rn-/- IL-6 Il1rn-/-Il6-/IL-6 naïve CD4+T Il6-/- naïve T Th17 TCR TGF-β IL-1 TGF-β+IL-1+IL-21 Th17 IL-21 TGF+IL-21 TGF-β IL-1 Th17 Th17 Th17 Th17 IL-1 IL-1 TGF-β TGF-β Foxp3 Th17 IL-6 IL-1 IL-1 Nfkbiz IL-6 Batf Th17 Th17 2 IL-21 Abstract IL-1 receptor antagonist-deficient (Il1rn-/-) mice spontaneously develop autoimmune arthritis and that IL-17 is crucial for the onset of the disease. Although many studies have shown that the Th17 cell differentiation is dependent on TGF-β and IL-6, we found that IL-6 deficiency does not affect the development of arthritis in Il1rn-/- mice at all. In vivo, Th17 cells developed normally in Il1rn-/-Il6-/- mice. To elucidate the mechanisms of IL-6 independent Th17 cell differentiation, we purified naïve CD4+ T cells from Il6-/- mice and cultured with TCR stimulation, TGF-β, IL-1 and/or IL-21. We found that naïve CD4+ cells efficiently differentiated into Th17 cells when cultured with TGF-β, IL-21 and IL-1 than the combination of TGF-β and IL-21, however, these cells did not differentiate with TGF-β and IL-1. In addition, IL-1 maintained Th17 lineage synergistically with TGF-β. Interestingly, we found that IL-1 inhibited TGF-β-induced Foxp3 expression to promote Th17 cell differentiation in a proliferation, IL-6 and IL-21 independent manner. Furthermore, IL-1 augments Th17 transcription factors expression such as Nfkbiz and Batf. These results indicate that IL-1 plays an important role in the Th17 cell differentiation in an IL-6 independent manner. 3 1-1 2-3 1-2 5-8 1-3 9-17 1-4 18-27 1-5 28-37 1-6 38 39-41 42-51 1-7 52-76 4 (McInnes and Schett, 2007) (McInnes and Schett, 2007) IL-6 IL-6 CIA HTLV-1 transgenic (Tg) SKG (Figure 0-1a)(Ishihara et al., 2004; Iwakura et al., 2008) IL-6R (Figure 0-1b) (Jones et al., 2010; Nishimoto et al., 2009) IL-1 (Il1rn-/- mouse) IL-1 IL-1Ra (Horai et al., 2000)( Figure 0-2a b) IL-1 CIA HTLV-I Tg Figure 0-1a SKG K/BxN (Iwakura et al., 2008) IL-1 IL-1Ra 2002; Furst, 2004) Th17 IL-1 (Cohen et al., IL-1 IL-17 et al., 2009)(Figure 0-3) Th17 IL-6 CD4+ CIA 5 T (Korn EAE (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis) (Iwakura et al., 2011) IL-17 Th17 (Genovese et al., 2010; Hueber et al., 2010) naïve T TGF β IL-6 2007) TGF β Foxp3 IL-21 (Figure 0-3)(Zhou et al., Th17 retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor (ROR)-γt Zhou et al., 2008) IL-6 IL-21 IL-23 IL-17 STAT3 RORγt RORγt (Ichiyama et al., 2008; (Figure 0-4) STAT3 IL-17 IRF-4 IL-17 (Hirahara et al., 2010) STAT3 Nfkbiz Hif1a Ahr Th17 (Figure 0-4) (Dang et al., 2011; Kimura et al., 2008; Okamoto et al., 2010) STAT3 CD4+T Th17 IL-21 STAT3 IL-23R Th17 (Durant et al., 2010; Zhou and Littman, 2009) IL-23 Th17 IL-17A IL-17F IL-22 IL-1β IL-17 IL-1 PKCθ T IL-17 al., 2009; Sutton et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2008a) (Chung et al., 2009) IL-1 (Kryczek et al., 2007) IL-6 IL-1R1 mTOR PI3K NF-κB IL-2 IL-6 IRF-4 Th17 SIGIRR Th17 6 (Korn et IL-1R (Gulen et al., 2010) Foxp3 IL-1 Th17 T(Treg) IRF-4 Blimp-1 IL-10 CTLA-4 ICOS GITR Treg (Cretney et al., 2011; de Lafaille and Lafaille, 2009) Foxp3+T Induced Foxp3+ Treg:iTreg (de Lafaille and Lafaille, 2009) TCR IL-2 TGF-β Th17 Foxp3 TGF β TGF-β Foxp3 IL-6 Foxp3 RORγt IL-21 Treg RORγt RORγt IL-23 Th17 Foxp3 Th17 RORγt (Ahern et al., 2010; Ichiyama et al., 2008; Zhou et al., 2008)(Figure 0-5) Th17 Treg (Bettelli et al., 2006) (Figure 0-2 and Figure 0-3) Foxp3 RORγt IL-17 Il1rn-/- IL-6 Il1rn-/-Il6-/- IL-6 / Il1rn-/-Il6-/- Il1rn-/- IL-1 IL-6 IL-1 IL-1 IL-6 IL-6 Th17 Th17 Th17 Th17 IL-1 TGF-β 7 Foxp3 Th17 Th17 IL-6 IL-1 8 Il1rn-/- (Il1rntm1Yiw) Il1ab-/- (Il1atm1Yiw/Il1btm1Yiw) (Horai et al., 1998; Horai et al., 2000) Il1rn-/-Il6-/(Il6tm1Kopf M.
