IFN regulatory factor 4 regulates the expression of a subset of Th2 cytokines.
Th2 cells can be subdivided into subpopulations depending on the level of a cytokine and the subsets of cytokines they produce. We have recently identified the ETS family transcription factor PU.1 as regulating heterogeneity in Th2 populations. To define additional factors that might contribute to Th2 heterogeneity, we examined the PU.1 interacting protein IFN-regulatory factor (IRF)4. When Th2...
متن کاملTh2 Cytokines Inhibit Lymphangiogenesis
Lymphangiogenesis is the process by which new lymphatic vessels grow in response to pathologic stimuli such as wound healing, inflammation, and tumor metastasis. It is well-recognized that growth factors and cytokines regulate lymphangiogenesis by promoting or inhibiting lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) proliferation, migration and differentiation. Our group has shown that the expression of T-h...
متن کاملth1/th2 cytokines in psoriasis
background: the aim of this study was to determine the th1 and th2 serum cytokines, in patients with psoriasis and to com pare their cytokine levels with those of normal control subjects. methods: serum levels of interferon-gamma (ifn-γ), interleukin-2 (il-2), interleukin-4 (il-4), and interleukin-10 (il-10) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in 40 patients with psoriasis and in...
متن کامل5-BDBD ameliorates an OVA-induced allergic asthma by the reduction of Th2 cytokines production
Objective(s): P2X4R is expressed in immunocyte and lung tissues. It has been a focus in inflammatory responses recently. This study investigated whether blockage of P2X4R attenuates allergic inflammation by modulating T cell response in ovalbumin-sensitized mice. Materials and Methods: Ovalbumin was used to sensitize and challenge for a mouse model. Intranasal application of 5-BDBD, P2X4R antag...
متن کاملLactobacillus Acidophilus strain L-92 regulates the production of Th1 cytokine as well as Th2 cytokines.
BACKGROUND There is growing interest in probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB), not only for treatment of T helper type (Th) 1-mediated diseases but also for Th2-mediated diseases, including allergic diseases, since lactic acid bacteria may be able to modulate the Th1/Th2 balance, in addition to having an immunomodulative effect through induction of Th1 bias. METHODS The effect of oral...
