Use of il-17d in scar prevention and treatment

The application discloses application of a cytokine interleukin-17D (IL-17D) in preparation of a medicine for preventing and / or treating scars. IL-17D is highly expressed in fibroblasts, but is down-regulated in myofibroblasts in skin scars and keloids. Low expression of IL-17D makes IL-17D unable to inhibit expression of fibrosis-related genes, thus unable to inhibit differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, thereby causing generation of scars. Overexpression of IL-17D or injection of recombinant IL-17D protein in a mouse full-thickness skin wound can significantly inhibit formation of scars; after IL-17D gene of the mouse is knocked out, expression of fibrosis-related genes in the skin wound is up-regulated, and scars after wound healing are obviously aggravated.
