Regulation of Antitumor Immune Responses by the IL-12 Family Cytokines, IL-12, IL-23, and IL-27
The interleukin (IL)-12 family, which is composed of heterodimeric cytokines including IL-12, IL-23, and IL-27, is produced by antigen-presenting cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells and plays critical roles in the regulation of helper T (Th) cell differentiation. IL-12 induces IFN-γ production by NK and T cells and differentiation to Th1 cells. IL-23 induces IL-17 production by memory...
متن کاملOsteopontin functionally activates dendritic cells and induces their differentiation toward a Th1-polarizing phenotype.
Osteopontin (OPN) has been shown to have T helper 1 (Th1) cytokine functions in cell-mediated immunity. Deficiency of OPN is linked to a reduced Th1 immune response in autoimmunity, infectious disease, and delayed-type allergy. Dendritic cells (DCs) are central for the induction of T-cell-mediated immunity, when initially flexible DCs are instructed by priming signals and tissue-derived factors...
متن کاملInterleukin 12 as an adjuvant to WI-1 adhesin immunization augments delayed-type hypersensitivity, shifts the subclass distribution of immunoglobulin G antibodies, and enhances protective immunity to Blastomyces dermatitidis infection.
Cell-mediated immunity is pivotal in host resistance to Blastomyces dermatitidis infection. Immunization of mice with the WI-1 adhesin enhances resistance against experimental pulmonary infection but elicits features of a mixed T-helper-cell immune response. Immune mice acquire delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) but also high titers of WI-1-specific immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and IgG2b, a result...
متن کاملNocardia farcinica activates human dendritic cells and induces secretion of interleukin-23 (IL-23) rather than IL-12p70.
Studying the interaction of dendritic cells (DCs) with bacteria controlled by T-cell-mediated immune responses may reveal novel adjuvants for the induction of cellular immunity. Murine studies and the observation that nocardias infect predominantly immunosuppressed patients have suggested that these bacteria may possess an adjuvant potential. Moreover, adjuvants on the basis of the nocardial ce...
متن کاملInterleukin-18 (IL-18) enhances innate IL-12-mediated resistance to Toxoplasma gondii.
Innate resistance to Toxoplasma gondii is dependent on the ability of interleukin-12 (IL-12) to stimulate natural killer (NK) cell production of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). Since IL-18 is a potent enhancer of IL-12-induced production of IFN-gamma by NK cells, SCID mice (which lack an adaptive immune response) were used to assess the role of IL-18 in innate resistance to T. gondii. Administrat...
