Diabetic retinopathy is a prevailing diabetes complication, and one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. IL-17A is a cytokine involved in the onset of diabetic complications. In the current study, we examined the role of IL-17A in the development of retinal inflammation and long-term vascular pathology in diabetic mice. We found IL-17A expressing T cells and neutrophils in the retinal vasculature. Further, the IL-17A receptor was expressed on Muller glia, retinal endothelial cells, and photoreceptors. Finally, diabetes-mediated retinal inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular leakage were all significantly lower in IL-17A-/- mice. These are all clinically meaningful abnormalities that characterize the onset of diabetic retinopathy.
