Stat6 and c-Jun mediate Th2 cell-specific IL-24 gene expression.
TCR signaling regulates multiple aspects of T cell function by controlling expression of various cytokine genes. IL-24 is a multifunctional cytokine belonging to the IL-10 family. It displays anticancer effects in diverse cancer cells and regulates immunopathology of psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. IL-24 also plays an important role in B cell differentiation. Mouse IL-24 gene is selectively...
متن کاملRegulation of IL-10 gene expression in Th2 cells by Jun proteins.
IL-10 is a key regulatory cytokine produced by T lymphocytes. Although Th2 cells are a major source of IL-10, little is known about IL-10 gene regulation in Th2 cells. High levels of IL-10 mRNA transcription are induced in the Th2 clone D10 after PMA plus ionomycin (P/I) stimulation; however we found that the IL-10 promoter was not inducible by P/I in D10 cells. We therefore sought regulatory r...
متن کاملT-cell subset-specific expression of the IL-4 gene is regulated by a silencer element and STAT6.
During development of CD4+ T lymphocytes in the periphery, differential expression of cytokine genes, such as those of interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-4, occurs in distinct T-cell subsets. IL-4 is a cytokine produced by T-helper 2 (Th2) cells, and the IL-4 receptor (IL-4R)-mediated signaling pathway is thought to be required for commitment to the Th2 phenotype. However, the molecular basis for develo...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms Governing IL-24 Gene Expression
Interleukin-24 (IL-24) belongs to the IL-10 family of cytokines and is well known for its tumor suppressor activity. This cytokine is released by both immune and nonimmune cells and acts on non-hematopoietic tissues such as skin, lung and reproductive tissues. Apart from its ubiquitous tumor suppressor function, IL-24 is also known to be involved in the immunopathology of autoimmune diseases li...
متن کاملGrail controls Th2 cell development by targeting STAT6 for degradation
T helper (Th)-2 cells are the major players in allergic asthma; however, the mechanisms that control Th2-mediated inflammation are poorly understood. Here we find that enhanced expression of Grail, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, in Th2 cells depends on interleukin (IL)-4-signalling components, signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (Stat6) and Gata3, that bind to and transactivate the Grai...
