Summary Interleukin‐17 (IL‐17 or IL‐17A), a pleiotropic cytokine produced by T helper type
17 cells, is involved in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune and inflammatory disorders,
including periodontitis. Although the ability of pro‐inflammation in periodontitis has been
widely investigated, the other biological functions of IL‐17, including its role in bone
remodelling and the underlying molecular mechanisms, have not been well clarified. In the
present study, IL‐17 could significantly enhance the expression of receptor activator for …
