This article explores the complex roles of cytokine networks in the development and progression of autoimmune diseases.

Interleukin-17, produced by Th17 lymphocytes, is another important pro-inflammatory cytokine often elevated in SLE, as are its regulator, IL-23 and the regulator of IL-23, IL-21.

Inflammatory responses in SLE can be favored and/or sustained by the availability of cytokines that are overexpressed systemically and/or in local tissues. Proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α ...
