Mice were treated with DSS to induce inflammation and given Anakinra throughout the second cycle of treatment. murine IL-10-/-DCs produced more IL-1 than their wild-type counterparts and promoted Th17 cell development in an IL-1-dependent manner. Finally,in vivoblockade of IL-1 receptor signaling reduced Th17 cell accumulation and inflammation in a mouse model of chemically-induced colitis. == Conclusions == Endogenous IL-10 constrains Th17 cell development through the control of IL-1 production by DCs, and reaffirms the crucial anti-inflammatory role of IL-10 in patients with chronic inflammation. Keywords:Th17, IL-10, IL-1, IL-17, inflammation, Crohn's disease == Introduction == Inflammation is usually associated with autoimmune diseases and cancer development [1,2]. Recent studies have emphasized the relevance of Th17 cell function in human diseases, including multiple sclerosis [3], colitis [4,5], psoriasis [6,7] and malignancy [8,9]. It…
