Interleukin-17A induces glucocorticoid insensitivity in human bronchial epithelial cells.
A subset of asthma patients suffer from glucocorticoid (GC) insensitivity. T-helper cell type 17 cells have an emerging role in GC insensitivity, although the mechanisms are still poorly understood. We investigated whether interleukin (IL)-17A induces GC insensitivity in airway epithelium by studying its effects on responsiveness of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced IL-8 production to bude...
متن کاملDendritic cells suppress IgE production in B cells.
Ig class switch recombination (CSR) is triggered by the engagement of CD40 on B cells by CD40 ligand on T cells. In addition, recent studies have shown that dendritic cells (DCs) are able to directly control the CSR of B cells through B lymphocyte stimulator protein [or B cell activation factor belonging to the tumor necrosis factor family] and a proliferation-inducing ligand. We examined in th...
متن کاملStructure and expression of germline epsilon transcripts in human B cells induced by interleukin 4 to switch to IgE production
Interleukin 4 (IL-4)-induced IgE production coincides with the appearance of the 2.2-kb productive epsilon-mRNA, but is preceded by synthesis of a 1.7-kb epsilon-RNA. Analysis of cDNA copies of the 5' end of this RNA indicated that the 1.7-kb epsilon-RNA is a germline epsilon immunoglobulin heavy chain transcript with an exon mapping 5' to the switch region. Transcription through switch regions...
متن کاملProfile of interleukin-2 production in human mononuclear cells and T-cell lines
Introduction: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a T helper type 1 (Th1) cytokine has an important role Background and Objective: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a T helper type 1 (Th1) cytokine has an important role in activation, growth and differentiation of several immune cells. Moreover IL-2 is known as a pro-inflammatory and anti-tumoral cytokine. In addition deysregulation of IL-2 in some diseases such as ...
متن کاملIgE receptor-positive non-B/non-T cells dominate the production of interleukin 4 and interleukin 6 in immunized mice.
The phenotype and antigenic specificity of cells secreting interleukin (IL) 4, IL-6, and interferon gamma was studied in mice during primary and secondary immune responses. T lymphocytes were the major source of interferon gamma, whereas non-B/non-T cells were the dominant source of IL-4 and IL-6 in the spleens of immunized animals. Cytokine-secreting non-B/non-T cells expressed surface recepto...
