The profile of Th17 subset in glioma

► Th17 cells, IFN-γ, IL-17, IL-6, IL-23, and TGF-β had no differences in peripheral blood in glioma. ► High mRNA positive ratios of IL-17 and RORC and IL-17 protein expressed in glioma tissues. ► TGF-β was higher in trauma and grade II than grade II glioma tissues. ► IL-6 and IFN-γ expression had no differences in glioma tissues. ► None of glioma and trauma tissues was IL-23 positive and almost all samples were IL-1β positive.
