Figure 6

Effect of interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17E on the production of collagen by intestinal myofibroblasts. Levels of collagen, expressed as μg/ml, in the supernatants of myofibroblasts isolated from uninflamed areas of strictured (Strict uninfl) and non-strictured (Non-strict uninfl) gut of six patients with fibrostenosing Crohn’s disease (CD) and from normal gut of six healthy control (HC) subjects, cultured for 24 hours with medium alone or recombinant human (rh)tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, or rhIL-17A, or rhIL-17E. Values are mean ± SEM. *P<0.05 versus myofibroblasts from the same study group cultured with medium alone. §P<0.05 versus Non-strict uninfl CD and HC myofibroblasts cultured under the same conditions.
