Interleukin-12 family cytokines and sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease predominantly affecting the lungs. It is believed to be caused by exposure to pathogenic antigens in genetically susceptible individuals but the causative antigen has not been identified. The formation of non-caseating granulomas at sites of ongoing inflammation is the key feature of the disease. Other aspects of the pathogenesis are peripheral T-...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 family of cytokines and gp130.
G ROWTH AND DIFFERENTIATION of cells in the immune and hematopoietic systems are regulated by cytokines or interleukins. One of the characteristic features of cytokines is their functional pleiotropy and redundancy, ie, one cytokine shows a wide variety of biologic functions on various tissues and cells, and several different cytokines exert similar and overlapping functions on a certain cell. ...
متن کاملInterleukin-1 Family Cytokines in Liver Diseases
The gene encoding IL-1 was sequenced more than 30 years ago, and many related cytokines, such as IL-18, IL-33, IL-36, IL-37, IL-38, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and IL-36Ra, have since been identified. IL-1 is a potent proinflammatory cytokine and is involved in various inflammatory diseases. Other IL-1 family ligands are critical for the development of diverse diseases, including inflamm...
متن کاملThe interleukin-12 family of cytokines: Therapeutic targets for inflammatory disease mediation
The interleukin (IL)-12 family of cytokines, including IL-12 and IL-23, are important mediators of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn’s disease. Interleukin-12 and IL-23 are heterodimeric proteins composed of the common subunit IL-12 p40, which interacts with the IL-12Rb1 receptor, and the cytokine-specific subunits IL-12...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory cytokines in asthma and allergy: interleukin-10, interleukin-12, interferon-gamma.
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a cytokine derived from CD4+ T-helper type 2 (T(H2)) cells identified as a suppressor of cytokines from T-helper type 1(T(H1)) cells. Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is produced by B cells, macrophages and dendritic cells, and primarily regulates T(H1) cell differentiation, while suppressing the expansion of T(H2) cell clones. Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is a product of T(H1) ...
