ABSTRACT
Sepsis is a pathological condition in which the body’s response to infection is dysfunctional and may lead to life-threatening organ failures as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. However,there is still a lack of effective prevention and treatment for sepsis. IL-17A is an inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by activated T cells and is involved in host defense,tissue repair,the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases,and the progression of cancer. This article reviews the recent research progress on the roles of IL-17A in sepsis-related organ damage,and its potentials as a novel therapeutic target for the clinical treatment of sepsis.
