With thrombus formation, IL-17B was upregulated and enhanced the expression of RIP3 and MLKL in the IVC wall, as well as their phosphorylation levels (all P < 0.05, the comparison group consisted of the control group, DVT group, DVT/IL-17B group, and DVT/anti-IL-17B group). This evidence concerns the gene IL17B and deep vein thrombosis.
