Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, are the number one cause of death worldwide. These diseases have taken the place of pneumonia and other infectious diseases in the epidemiological charts. Thus, their importance should not be underestimated. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Therefore, immunological signaling molecules and immune cells carry out a central role in its etiology. One of these signaling molecules is interleukin (IL)-17. This relatively newly discovered signaling molecule might have a dual role as acting both pro-atherogenic and anti-atherogenic depending on the situation. The majority of articles have discussed IL-17 and its action in atherosclerosis, and it may be a new target for the treatment of patients with this disease. In this review, the immunological basis of atherosclerosis with an emphasis on the role of IL-17 and a brief explanation of the role of IL-17 on atherosclerogenic disorders will be discussed. © 2022 Elsevier GmbH
