abstract = {Stress can trigger acute inflammation by increasing the
pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-17 for injury and
infection, while inducing the production of the
immunosuppressive hormone glucocorticoids (GCs). However,
the mechanism through which stress-induced GCs enhance acute
inflammation by directly regulating the development of
IL-17-producing helper T (Th17) cells remains unclear. Here,
we demonstrate that GCs promote Th17 cell differentiation
and survival in both mice and humans. Stress-induced GCs
augment the expansion of Th17 cells expressing low levels of
TCF1, a negative regulator of IL-17 expression. In addition,
GCs promote Th17 cell differentiation by enhancing
glycolysis. Stress-induced GCs also increase IL-17
production and neutrophil recruitment in the intestine upon
bacterial antigen stimulation. Moreover, the expansion of
Th17 cells mediated by stress-induced GCs exacerbates acute
colitis by promoting IL-17 production and neutrophil
recruitment. Thus, stress promotes acute inflammation by
enhancing the differentiation of Th17 cells through GCs,
which may contribute to self-defense against infections.},
