Interleukin-15 (IL-15) induces NF-kappaB activation and IL-8 production in human neutrophils.
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-15 exert similar biological actions, which largely reflect the fact that their receptors share common beta and gamma subunits; in contrast, distinct subunits are required for high-affinity binding of either cytokine to a heterotrimeric receptor complex. Human neutrophils are known to express both the beta and gamma subunits of the IL-2/IL-15 receptor complex, and we ...
متن کاملInterleukin-15 (IL-15) induces IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 production in human monocytes.
Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a recently characterized cytokine that shares many biological activities with IL-2 and interacts with the beta and gamma components of the IL-2 receptor. Unlike IL-2, which is secreted only by T cells, IL-15 is expressed preferentially by nonlymphoid tissues, epithelial, and fibroblast cell lines and by activated monocytes/macrophages. High concentrations of IL-15 have...
متن کاملDifferential effects of interleukin-15 (IL-15) and IL-2 on human neutrophils: modulation of phagocytosis, cytoskeleton rearrangement, gene expression, and apoptosis by IL-15.
Human neutrophils have been shown recently to express both the beta and the gamma chains of the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R). IL-15, a cytokine that has recently been cloned and characterized, was found to share many of the biological functions of IL-2 and is known to mediate signals through IL-2R beta and IL-2R gamma. In recent studies, we observed that IL-2 exerts few effects on various neu...
متن کاملInterleukin-15, IL-15 Receptor-Alpha, and Obesity: Concordance of Laboratory Animal and Human Genetic Studies
Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a cytokine which inhibits lipid deposition in cultured adipocytes and decreases adipose tissue deposition in laboratory rodents. In human subjects, negative correlations between circulating IL-15 levels and both total and abdominal fat have been demonstrated. Deletions of IL15 in humans and mice are associated with obesity, while gain-of-function IL-15 overexpressing m...
متن کاملExpression of interleukin-15 in human endometrium and decidua.
In human endometrium, cytokines and growth factors that vary periodically during the menstrual cycles have been suggested to play various roles in uterine function. In the present study, differential gene expression in human endometrium between the proliferative and the secretory phases was investigated by using a human cDNA expression array system. Human interleukin (IL)-15 was identified as a...
