Interleukin-15 prevents concanavalin A-induced liver injury in mice via NKT cell-dependent mechanism.

Administration of concanavalin A (Con A) induces a rapid and severe liver injury in mice. Natural killer T (NKT) cells are recognized to be the key effector cells, and a variety of cytokines [e.g., interleukin 4 (IL-4), IL-5, interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)] have been shown to play vital roles in Con A-induced liver injury, whereas the role of IL-15, a ...

Protective effect of interleukin-36 receptor antagonist on liver injury induced by concanavalin A in mice

Objective(s): Interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra) is a new member of the IL-1 family that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in a variety of inflammatory and immune diseases. Our purpose was to determine the effect of IL-36Ra on liver injury in a mouse hepatitis model induced by concanavalin A (ConA). Materials and Methods: Mic...

Liver Oxidative Stress after Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury is Leukocyte Dependent in Inbred Mice

Objective(s) There are some reports in recent years indicating that renal ischemia - reperfusion (IR) induces deleterious changes in remote organs such as liver. The aim of this study was to investigate whether leukocytes have a role on the induction of oxidative stress in liver after renal IR. Materials and Methods Inbred mice in IR donor group were subjected to renal IR injury. In sham don...

Interleukin-6 Induces Gr-1+CD11b+ Myeloid Cells to Suppress CD8+ T Cell-Mediated Liver Injury in Mice

BACKGROUND Agonist antibodies against CD137 (4-1BB) on T lymphocytes are used to increase host anti-tumor immunity, but often leading to severe liver injury in treated mice or in patients during clinical trials. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been reported to protect hepatocyte death, but the role of IL-6 in protecting chronic T cell-induced liver diseases is not clearly defined due to lack of releva...

T cell–derived interleukin (IL)-21 promotes brain injury following stroke in mice

T lymphocytes are key contributors to the acute phase of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, but the relevant T cell-derived mediators of tissue injury remain unknown. Using a mouse model of transient focal brain ischemia, we report that IL-21 is highly up-regulated in the injured mouse brain after cerebral ischemia. IL-21-deficient mice have smaller infarcts, improved neurological function, ...
