Although several interleukin-17 (IL-17) family members and their receptors have been recently appreciated as important regulators in inflammatory diseases, the function of other IL-17 cytokines and IL-17 receptor-like molecules is unclear. Here we show that an IL-17 cytokine family member, IL-17C, was induced in a Th17 cell-dependent autoimmune disease and was required for its pathogenesis. IL-17C bound to IL-17RE, a member of IL-17 receptor family whose full-length isoform was selectively expressed in Th17 cells and signaled via an IL-17RA-RE receptor complex and the downstream adaptor Act1 IL-17C-IL-17RE induced the expression of a nuclear IkappaB family member, I kappa B zeta, in Th17 cells to potentiate the Th17 cell response. Thus, our work has identified a cytokine-receptor pair with important function in regulating proinflammatory responses. This pathway may be targeted to treat autoimmune diseases.
