IFN-gamma-inducible protein 10 (IP-10; CXCL10)-deficient mice reveal a role for IP-10 in effector T cell generation and trafficking.
IFN-gamma-inducible protein 10 (IP-10, CXCL10), a chemokine secreted from cells stimulated with type I and II IFNs and LPS, is a chemoattractant for activated T cells. Expression of IP-10 is seen in many Th1-type inflammatory diseases, where it is thought to play an important role in recruiting activated T cells into sites of tissue inflammation. To determine the in vivo function of IP-10, we c...
متن کاملRole of Interferon-γ-Inducible Protein (IP)-10/ (IP-10/CXCL10) in Ulcerative Colitis; A Review of the Present Status
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting the colonic mucosa; it is of unknown etiology (Baumgart & Carding, 2007). UC clinically displays bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and weight loss, and often leads to a severe outcome since the therapeutic approaches, including corticosteroid and 5-aminosalicylic acid, are not always successful in inducing ...
متن کاملThe role of IFN-γ in regulation of IFN-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) expression in lung epithelial cell and peripheral blood mononuclear cell co-cultures
BACKGROUND Interferons play a critical role in regulating both the innate and adaptive immune responses. Previous reports have shown increased levels of IFN-gamma, IFN-gamma-inducing IL-12 and IFN-gamma-inducible chemokine IP-10 in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS The present study focuses on the regulation of the IP-10 secretion in co-cultures of lung epith...
متن کاملElevated Levels of Interferon-inducible Protein-10 (IP)-10/CXCL10, but not of Interferon-γ, in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Mycobacterial strains are potent inducers of cytokines/chemokines by mononuclear phagocytes, which constitute an important cellular component of the first line of defense in the innate immune system. Interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible protein (IP-10 or CXCL10) is a potent chemoattractant; however, little is known about the IP-10 profiles attributable to the Th1 regulation associated with active tuber...
متن کاملHuman Interferon-γ–inducible Protein 10 (IP-10) Inhibits Constitutive Signaling of Kaposi's Sarcoma–associated Herpesvirus G Protein–coupled Receptor
A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) is encoded within the genome of Kaposi's sarcoma- associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus 8, a virus that may be involved in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma and primary effusion lymphomas. KSHV-GPCR exhibits constitutive signaling activity that causes oncogenic transformation. We report that human interferon (IFN)-gamma-inducible protein 10 (HuIP...
