Interleukin-2 and interleukin-2 receptor expression in human corticotrophic adenoma and murine pituitary cell cultures.
The production of IL-1 and IL-6 by pituitary cells has recently been demonstrated. In this study we investigated the expression of IL-2 and its receptor (IL-2R) by pituitary cells of different species. In Northern blots, a single hybridizing band of 1 kb, identical to that in normal stimulated lymphocytes, was obtained with specific IL-2 probes. In the mouse AT-20 pituitary tumor cell line, IL-...
متن کاملEffect of Vitamin D treatment on Interleukin-2 and Interleukin-4 Genes expression in Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system. The etiology of MS is slightly known, but genetic and environmental factors are reported. Vitamin D regulates gene expression and affects target cell functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression variation of IL-2 and IL-4 genes under vitamin D supplementation in patients with mult...
متن کاملProfile of interleukin-2 production in human mononuclear cells and T-cell lines
Introduction: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a T helper type 1 (Th1) cytokine has an important role Background and Objective: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a T helper type 1 (Th1) cytokine has an important role in activation, growth and differentiation of several immune cells. Moreover IL-2 is known as a pro-inflammatory and anti-tumoral cytokine. In addition deysregulation of IL-2 in some diseases such as ...
متن کاملInterleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-6 regulate c-fos protooncogene expression in human pituitary adenoma explants.
We have previously shown that interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-6, which are expressed in the anterior pituitary, affect anterior pituitary cell proliferation in normal rats and cell lines. Here we examined their effects on the c-fos expression by human anterior pituitary adenomas. Adenoma cells in culture do not express c-fos mRNA. In adenoma explants, however, c-fos expression was detected and was ...
متن کاملThe human interleukin-2 receptor.
Complementary DNAs corresponding to the human receptor for interleukin-2 (IL-2) have been molecularly cloned, sequenced, and expressed in both COS-1 and L cells. The human genome appears to contain a single structural gene for this receptor located on the short arm of chromosome 10 (band 14-15). However, when transcribed, at least two families of mRNAs are produced, which vary in length due to ...
