The Novel Chicken Interleukin 26 Protein Is Overexpressed in T Cells and Induces Proinflammatory Cytokines Anh Duc Truong, Boyeong Park, Jihye Ban and Yeong Ho Hong* Truong et al. Vet Res (2016) 47:65 DOI 10.1186/s13567-016-0342-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The novel chicken interleukin 26 protein is overexpressed in T cells and induces proinflammatory cytokines Anh Duc Truong, Boyeong Park, Jihye Ban and Yeong Ho Hong* Abstract In the present study, we describe the cloning and functional characterization of chicken interleukin 26 (ChIL-26). ChIL-26, a member of the IL-10 cytokine family, induces the production of proinflammatory cytokines by T cells. The ChIL-26 cDNA encodes an 82-amino-acid protein whose amino acid sequence has 22.63, 46.31 and 43.15% homology with human IL-26, pig IL-26 and canary IL-26, respectively. ChIL-26 signals through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of the IL-20R1 and IL-10R2 chains, which are expressed primarily in the CU91 T cell line as well as CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Recombinant ChIL-26 protein induced Th1 cytokines (IL-16 and IFN-γ), Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10), Th17 cytokines (IL-17A, IL-17D, and IL-17F), and chemokine transcripts (mainly CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL20 and CXCL13) in the CU91 T cell line and in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, however IL-18 was not expressed in the CU91 T cell line. Taken together, the data demonstrates that T cells express the functional ChIL-26 receptor complex and that ChIL-26 modu- lates T cell proliferation and proinflammatory gene expression. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of cloned ChIL-26. We evaluated its functional roles, particularly in the pathogenic costimulation of T cells, which may be significantly associated with the induction of cytokines.

  • Interleukin-26 Activates Macrophages and Facilitates Killing Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Interleukin‑26 activates macrophages and facilitates killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Heike C. Hawerkamp 1, Lasse van Geelen 2, Jan Korte2, Jeremy Di Domizio 3, Marc Swidergall 4, Afaque A. Momin 5, Francisco J. Guzmán‑Vega5, Stefan T. Arold 5, Joachim Ernst4, Michel Gilliet 3, Rainer Kalscheuer2, Bernhard Homey1 & Stephan Meller1* Tuberculosis‑causing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is transmitted via airborne droplets followed by a primary infection of macrophages and dendritic cells. During the activation of host defence mechanisms also neutrophils and T helper 1 (TH1) and TH17 cells are recruited to the site of infection. The TH17 cell‑derived interleukin (IL)‑17 in turn induces the cathelicidin LL37 which shows direct antimycobacterial efects. Here, we investigated the role of IL‑26, a TH1‑ and TH17‑associated cytokine that exhibits antimicrobial activity. We found that both IL‑26 mRNA and protein are strongly increased in tuberculous lymph nodes. Furthermore, IL‑26 is able to directly kill Mtb and decrease the infection rate in macrophages. Binding of IL‑26 to lipoarabinomannan might be one important mechanism in extracellular killing of Mtb. Macrophages and dendritic cells respond to IL‑26 with secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α and chemokines such as CCL20, CXCL2 and CXCL8. In dendritic cells but not in macrophages cytokine induction by IL‑26 is partly mediated via Toll like receptor (TLR) 2. Taken together, IL‑26 strengthens the defense against Mtb in two ways: frstly, directly due to its antimycobacterial properties and secondly indirectly by activating innate immune mechanisms. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)1–3 is the causing agent of tuberculosis in humans.

Weiss,*,† Feiyang Ma,†,‡ Alexander A. Merleev,x Emanual Maverakis,x Michel Gilliet,{ Samuel J. Balin,* Bryan D. Bryson,‖ Maria Teresa Ochoa,# Matteo Pellegrini,*,‡ Barry R. Bloom,** and Robert L. Modlin*,†† Th17 cells play a critical role in the adaptive immune response against extracellular bacteria, and the possible mechanisms by which they can protect against infection are of particular interest. In this study, we describe, to our knowledge, a novel IL-1b dependent pathway for secretion of the antimicrobial peptide IL-26 from human Th17 cells that is independent of and more rapid than classical TCR activation. We find that IL-26 is secreted 3 hours after treating PBMCs with Mycobacterium leprae as compared with 48 hours for IFN-g and IL-17A. IL-1b was required for microbial ligand induction of IL-26 and was sufficient to stimulate IL-26 release from Th17 cells. Only IL-1RI+ Th17 cells responded to IL-1b, inducing an NF-kB–regulated transcriptome. Finally, supernatants from IL-1b–treated memory T cells killed Escherichia coli in an IL-26–dependent manner. These results identify a mechanism by which human IL-1RI+ “antimicrobial Th17 cells” can be rapidly activated by IL-1b as part of the innate immune response to produce IL-26 to kill extracellular bacteria.

The term ‘interleukin’ (IL) has been used to describe a group of cytokines with complex immunomodulatory functions — including cell proliferation, maturation, migration and adhesion. These cytokines also play an important role in immune cell differentiation and activation. Determining the exact function of a particular cytokine is complicated by the influence of the producing cell type, the responding cell type and the phase of the immune response. ILs can also have pro- and anti-inflammatory effects, further complicating their characterisation. These molecules are under constant pressure to evolve due to continual competition between the host’s immune system and infecting organisms; as such, ILs have undergone significant evolution. This has resulted in little amino acid conservation between orthologous proteins, which further complicates the gene family organisation. Within the literature there are a number of overlapping nomenclature and classification systems derived from biological function, receptor-binding properties and originating cell type.

  • Human Cytokine Response Profiles
    Comprehensive Understanding of the Human Cytokine Response Profiles A. Background The current project aims to collect datasets profiling gene expression patterns of human cytokine treatment response from the NCBI GEO and EBI ArrayExpress databases. The Framework for Data Curation already hosted a list of candidate datasets. You will read the study design and sample annotations to select the relevant datasets and label the sample conditions to enable automatic analysis. If you want to build a new data collection project for your topic of interest instead of working on our existing cytokine project, please read section D. We will explain the cytokine project’s configurations to give you an example on creating your curation task. A.1. Cytokine Cytokines are a broad category of small proteins mediating cell signaling. Many cell types can release cytokines and receive cytokines from other producers through receptors on the cell surface. Despite some overlap in the literature terminology, we exclude chemokines, hormones, or growth factors, which are also essential cell signaling molecules. Meanwhile, we count two cytokines in the same family as the same if they share the same receptors. In this project, we will focus on the following families and use the member symbols as standard names (Table 1). Family Members (use these symbols as standard cytokine names) Colony-stimulating factor GCSF, GMCSF, MCSF Interferon IFNA, IFNB, IFNG Interleukin IL1, IL1RA, IL2, IL3, IL4, IL5, IL6, IL7, IL9, IL10, IL11, IL12, IL13, IL15, IL16, IL17, IL18, IL19, IL20, IL21, IL22, IL23, IL24, IL25, IL26, IL27, IL28, IL29, IL30, IL31, IL32, IL33, IL34, IL35, IL36, IL36RA, IL37, TSLP, LIF, OSM Tumor necrosis factor TNFA, LTA, LTB, CD40L, FASL, CD27L, CD30L, 41BBL, TRAIL, OPGL, APRIL, LIGHT, TWEAK, BAFF Unassigned TGFB, MIF Table 1.

Methods: Serum IL-26 level was measured and analyzed in 52 septic patients sampled on the day of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, 18 non-septic ICU patient controls, and 30 healthy volunteers. In addition, the effects of recombinant human IL-26 on host inflammatory response in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced polymicrobial sepsis were determined. Results: On the day of ICU admission, the patients with sepsis showed a significant increase in serum IL-26 levels compared with ICU patient controls and healthy volunteers, and the serum IL-26 levels were related to the severity of sepsis. Nonsurvivors of septic patients displayed significantly higher serum IL-26 levels compared with survivors. A high serum IL-26 level on ICU admission was associated with 28-day mortality, and IL-26 was found to be an independent predictor of 28-day mortality in septic patients by logistic regression analysis. Furthermore, administration of recombinant human IL-26 increased lethality in CLP-induced polymicrobial sepsis.
