Objective To observe the expression of interleukin (IL)-17, IL-4 and interferon γ (IFN-γ) in experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU). Methods C57BL/6 mice were immunized with interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein 1-20 to induce EAU. The inflammatory reaction before and on 7, 14, 21, 28 days after immunization were observed. The level of IL-17, IL-4 and IFN-γ in the serum were measured by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). mRNA and protein expression of spleen and retina were analysed using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot at the same time, respectively. Results The most serious inflammatory reaction occurred at the 14th day after immunization. The highest level of IFN-γ in serum, highest mRNA and protein expression of IFN-γ in spleen and retina of mice occurred at day 7 after being immunized. The highest level of IL-17, IL-4 in serum, highest mRNA and protein expression of IL-17, IL-4 in spleen and retina of mice occurred at day 14 after being immunized. The increase degree of IL-17 was more than IFN-γ and IL-4. At 7, 14 and 21 days after immunization, compared with the pre-immunization, the level of IL-17, IL-4, IFN-γ in serum of mice were significantly increased (F=1 817.346, 268.600, 164.621; P < 0.05). There was no difference in the levels of IL-17, IL-4, IFN-γin serum of mice between pre-and 28 days after immunization (P > 0.05). At 7, 14 and 21 days after immunization, compared with the pre-immunization, the protein expression of IL-17, IL-4, IFN-γ in spleen (F=312.67, 114.250, 216.220) and retina (F=271.504, 85.370, 80.722) of mice were significantly increased (P < 0.05). There was no difference in protein expression of IL-17, IL-4, IFN-γ in spleen and retina of mice between pre-and 28 days after immunization (P > 0.05). Conclusions There were IL-17, IL-4 and IFN-γ expression in EAU. IL-17, IL-4 and IFN-γ play a key role in the occurrence and development of the EAU.
