What question did this study set out to answer?

The aim is to investigate how IL-17 affects intestinal epithelial cells, particularly through the NF-κB signaling pathway.

The aim is to investigate how IL-17 affects intestinal epithelial cells, particularly through the NF-κB signaling pathway.
Investigated IL-17-induced signaling in rat intestinal epithelial cell line IEC-6.
Monitored NF-κB complex formation and chemokine mRNA expression.
Assessed the role of TRAF6 and various kinases in the signaling pathway.
IL-17 induced NF-κB protein-DNA complex formation in IEC-6 cells.
CINC promoter activation depended on TRAF6 and could be inhibited by NF-κB-inducing kinase mutants.
IL-17 synergistically activated signaling pathways, including ERK and JNK.
