| Research Abstract |
To elucidate the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1/IL-17 family members, in development of intestinal polyps, the molecular mechanisms were analyzed using ApcMin mice, as a model of colon cancer. We found that deficiency of IL-17A and/or IL-17F in ApcMin mice caused suppression of intestinal polyp formation, and administration of neutralizing antibodies against IL-17A and/or IL-17F reduced development of polyps. These results suggest that endogenous IL-17A/F promote polyp formation and neutralizing antibodies are applied to therapeutic agent for colon cancer.
