Abstract

Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is an exudative effusion caused by primary or metastatic pleural carcinosis. Th17 cells and their cytokines are critical components in various disease including MPE. In this review, we summarize current published articles regarding the multifunctional roles of Th17 cells and their related cytokines in MPE. Th17 cells are accumulated in MPE compared with paired serum via certain manners. The upregulation of Th17 cells and the interactions between Th17 cells and other immune cells, such as Th1 cells, Th9 cells, regulatory T cells and B cells, are reported to be involved in the formation and development of MPE. In addition, cytokines, which are elaborated by Th17 cells, including IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, IL-22, IL-26, GM-CSF, or associated with Th17 cells differentiation, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-23, TGF-β, are linked to the pathogenesis of MPE through exerting pro- or anti-tumorigenic functions on their own as well as regulating the generation and differentiation of Th17 cells in MPE. Based on these findings, we proposed that Th17 cells and their cytokines might be diagnostic or prognostic tools and potential therapeutic targets for MPE.
