Presence of interleukin-17C in the tissue around aseptic loosened implants.

2013 
Purpose The most common long-term complication of joint arthroplasty is aseptic loosening. The proinflammatory cytokines secreted by macrophages are involved in aseptic loosening. Recently, a novel proinflammatory cytokine IL-17C was reported to participate in inflammatory diseases by synergising with proinflammatory cytokines. However, the relationship between IL-17C and the aseptic loosening is unclear.
