IL-21/IL-21R in Autoimmune Diseases
Interleukin-21 (IL-21), the member of the γ-chain-related cytokine family, and its receptor (IL-21R), has been evidenced involving in the immune response, resulting in the development of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and tumors. This short communication reviews an overall outline of its genetic variants and expression in autoimmune diseases. It focuses on a series of recent studies t...
متن کاملIL-37 restrains autoimmune diseases
Interleukin-37 (IL-37), a newly discovered member of the IL-1 family, has been identified as a natural inhibitor of immune responses [1]. The human IL-37 gene has been confirmed undergo alternative splicing and exists in five splice variants including IL-37a-e, but a mouse homologue has not been reported [2]. The most glaring is IL-37b that encodes the longest transcript variant includes exons ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the interleukin 2 receptors (IL-2R) expressed on human natural killer cells activated in vivo by IL-2: association of the p64 IL-2R gamma chain with the IL-2R beta chain in functional intermediate-affinity IL-2R
Interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptors expressed on the surface of activated T cells and natural killer (NK) cells exhibit a variety of affinity states depending on their subunit composition. Low-affinity binding is associated with a 55-kDa alpha chain, intermediate-affinity binding with a 70-75-kD beta chain, and high-affinity binding with a bimolecular complex of the alpha and beta subunits. In a pre...
متن کاملCellular expression of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and its receptor (IL-2R, CD25) in lung tumours.
In view of the unclear prognostic and diagnostic role of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and its receptor in human tumours, we examined the cellular expression of IL-2 and of the subunit alpha of its receptor (IL-2Ralpha, CD25) in relation to the proliferative activity of various subtypes of lung tumours. The immunocytochemical ABC technique was applied to archival tissue material of neuroendocrine lung t...
متن کاملIL-17Rβ, IL-23α, IL-2R, IL-6, IL-2 and IL-18R. IL-6 activates the production of CRP (C-reactive protein) and fibrinogen through the liver and IL-17Rβ, IL-23α, IL-2R, IL-6, IL-2 and IL-18R contribute to the progress and pathogenesis of RA
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in pre-microRNA (miRNA) may alter miRNA expression levels or processing and contribute to susceptibility in a wide range of diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the possible association between rs2910164 and rs3746444 of the pre-miRNA (hsamir-146a and hsa-mir-499) polymorphisms and susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in an Iranian population. Thi...
