Interleukin (IL)-10 inhibits ischemic and cisplatin-induced acute renal failure. We aimed to determine whether IL-20 affects renal tubular epithelial cells and is associated with acute renal failure. We analyzed the expression of IL-20 and its receptor (R) in the kidneys of rats with HgCl2-induced acute renal failure. Reverse transcription-PCR showed upregulated IL-20, and its receptors and immunohistochemical staining showed strongly expressed IL-20 protein in proximal tubular epithelial cells. We analyzed human proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells, which expressed both IL-20 and its receptors. IL-20 specifically induced mitochondria-dependent apoptosis by activating caspase 9 in HK-2 cells. IL-20 also activated c-Jun N-terminal kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, the downstream signals implicated in the apoptosis of HK-2 cells. Furthermore, IL-20 upregulated the transcripts of transforming growth factor (TGF)-b1, a critical mediator of renal injury. In hypoxic HK-2 cells, IL-20 and IL-22R1 transcripts increased, and IL-20 upregulated IL-1b transcripts. In vivo study further demonstrated that anti-IL-20 antibody reduced the expression of TGF-b1 and IL-1b and the number of damaged tubular cells in the kidneys of rats with acute renal failure. We concluded that IL-20 may be involved in the injury of renal epithelial cells in acute renal failure.

We collected their sera from day 0 to day 8. Serum creatinine levels began to rise on day 1, peaked on day 2 and returned to baseline on day 8 (Figure 1a). BUN levels began to rise on day 1, peaked on day 4 and returned to baseline on day 8 (Figure 1b). Transcripts of rat (r)IL-20 and its receptors increased in the kidneys of rats with HgCl2-induced acute renal failure To investigate whether IL-20 is involved in acute renal failure, we sacrificed the rats at different time points and compared the transcripts of rIL-20 and its receptors with those of healthy controls. Reverse transcription-PCR (RT- PCR) revealed that rIL-20, rIL-20R1, rIL-20R2 and rIL- 22R1 had increased in the kidneys of the experimental rats (those with acute renal failure) and had peaked on days 1 and 2 (Figure 2A). Protein expression of rIL-20 in the kidneys of experimental rats To confirm that the rIL-20 protein level as well as the transcript level had increased, we analyzed the kidney tissue using immunohistochemical staining with anti-IL- 20 antibodies.

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.

Although IL-10 itself primarily acts on leukocytes and has potent immunosuppressive functions, other family members preferentially target nonimmune com- partments, such as tissue epithelial cells, where they elicit innate defense mechanisms to control viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, protect tissue integrity, and promote tissue repair and regeneration. As cytokines are prime drug targets, IL-10 family cytokines provide great opportunities for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, tissue damage, and cancer. Yet no therapy in this space has been approved to date.

Epithelial cells are the first line of defense against external dangers, and contribute to induction of adaptive immunity including Th17 responses. However, it is unclear whether specific epithelial signaling pathways are essential for the development of robust IL-17–mediated immune responses. In mice, the development of psoriatic inflammation induced by imiquimod required keratinocyte TRAF6. Conditional deletion of TRAF6 in keratinocytes abrogated dendritic cell activation, IL-23 production, and IL-17 production by γδ T cells at the imiquimod-treated sites.

  • And Neutralizes Its Activity IL-22 of a Novel
    Identification, Cloning, and Characterization of a Novel Soluble Receptor That Binds IL-22 and Neutralizes Its Activity1,2 Sergei V. Kotenko,3,4* Lara S. Izotova,* Olga V. Mirochnitchenko,* Elena Esterova,* Harold Dickensheets,† Raymond P. Donnelly,† and Sidney Pestka3* With the use of a partial sequence of the human genome, we identified a gene encoding a novel soluble receptor belonging to the class II cytokine receptor family. This gene is positioned on chromosome 6 in the vicinity of the IFNGR1 gene in a head-to-tail orientation. The gene consists of six exons and encodes a 231-aa protein with a 21-aa leader sequence. The secreted mature protein demonstrates 34% amino acid identity to the extracellular domain of the IL-22R1 chain. Cross-linking experiments demonstrate that the protein binds IL-22 and prevents binding of IL-22 to the functional cell surface IL-22R complex, which consists of two subunits, the IL-22R1 and the IL-10R2c chains. Moreover, this soluble receptor, designated IL-22-binding protein (BP), is capable of neutralizing IL-22 activity. In the presence of the IL-22BP, IL-22 is unable to induce Stat activation in IL-22-responsive human lung carcinoma A549 cells. IL-22BP also blocked induction of the suppressors of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3) gene expression by IL-22 in HepG2 cells. To further evaluate IL-22BP action, we used hamster cells expressing a modified IL-22R complex ␥ consisting of the intact IL-10R2c and the chimeric IL-22R1/ R1 receptor in which the IL-22R1 intracellular domain was replaced with the IFN-␥R1 intracellular domain.

  • IL-19 Is a Component of the Pathogenetic IL-23/IL-17 Cascade
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE IL-19 Is a Component of the Pathogenetic IL-23/IL-17 Cascade in Psoriasis Ellen Witte1,2, Georgios Kokolakis1,2,KatrinWitte1,2,SandraPhilipp1,2, Wolf-Dietrich Doecke3, Nina Babel4,5,BiancaM.Wittig6, Katarzyna Warszawska1, Agata Kurek1,2, Magdalena Erdmann-Keding1,2, Stefanie Kunz1,2, Khusru Asadullah3,MarshallE.Kadin7, Hans-Dieter Volk4,8, Wolfram Sterry9, Kerstin Wolk1,2,10 and Robert Sabat1,2,10 Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory disease with characteristic skin alterations and functions as a model of immune-mediated disorders. Cytokines have a key role in psoriasis pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrated that out of 30 individually quantified cytokines, IL-19 showed the strongest differential expression between psoriatic lesions and healthy skin. Cutaneous IL-19 overproduction was reflected by elevated IL-19 blood levels that correlated with psoriasis severity. Accordingly, anti-psoriatic therapies substantially reduced both cutaneous and systemic IL-19 levels. IL-19 production was induced in keratinocytes by IL-17A and was further amplified by tumor necrosis factor-a and IL-22. Among skin cells, keratinocytes were found to be important targets of IL-19. IL-19 alone, however, regulated only a few keratinocyte functions. While increasing the production of S100A7/8/9 and, to a moderate extent, also IL-1b, IL-20, chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 8, and matrix metalloproteinase 1, IL-19 had no clear influence on the differentiation, proliferation, or migration of these cells. Importantly, IL-19 amplified many IL-17A effects on keratinocytes, including the induction of b-defensins, IL-19, IL-23p19, and T helper type 17- cell- and neutrophil-attracting chemokines.
