Stress-induced glucocorticoids enhance acute inflammation by promoting the differentiation of Th17 cellsCell reports · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Stress elicits inflammatory and autoimmune diseases while concurrently triggering the production of glucocorticoids (GCs), renowned for their anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, IL-17-producing helper T (Th17) cells are pivotal in initiating inflammation and certain autoimmune disorders. However, whether stress-induced GCs exacerbate inflammatory and autoimmune diseases through Th17 cells remains elusive.

Here, we show that GCs facilitate the differentiation and survival of Th17 cells in mice. GCs inhibit the expression of TCF1, a negative regulator of Th17 cell differentiation, thereby increasing pathogenic TCF1low Th17 cells characterized by high glycolytic activity. Remarkably, mice lacking the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), specifically in  T cells, manifest less severe experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and inflammatory colitis. Moreover, stress-induced GCs augment the population of Th17 cells, intensify their IL-17 production, and provoke neutrophil recruitment, resulting in severe inflammation and substantial weight loss in the colitis model. This study demonstrates that stress-induced GCs exacerbate inflammation and autoimmunity by fostering Th17 cell differentiation.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE235250_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA985615 and SRA study SRP444818. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
