“…In this report, we provide compelling evidence that IL‐17A lies downstream of Fn1. Both Fn1 (Bazan‐Socha et al., 2018 , Hamsten et al., 2016 , Wang et al., 2017 , Zhou et al., 2022 ) and IL‐17A (Akbay et al., 2017 , Cai et al., 2019 , Hagner et al., 2021 , Salazar et al., 2020 ) have been shown to promote inflammation and tumour progression. Interaction of IL‐17A with its receptor, which is expressed on a variety of cell types (including tumour cells and non‐tumour cells), causes secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL‐6, various chemokines and factors that promote tumour progression.…”
