γ-Tocotrienol (GT3), a member of the vitamin E family, is well known for its medicinal value in clinical treatments. However, the role of GT3 in T helper 17 (Th17)/regulatory T cell (Treg) differentiation and function is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrated that GT3 suppressed Th17 differentiation in vitro by inhibiting signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation in the interleukin 6 (IL-6)/Janus kinase (JAK)/STAT3 signaling pathway. GT3 also inhibited HIF1A expression in Th17 metabolism. Additionally, we showed that GT3 treatment inhibited disease aggravation in an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like mouse model by reducing the percentage of Th17 cells in the spleen in vivo. The findings of this study demonstrated the effects of GT3 on Th17 cells through the STAT3 signaling pathway. |
