Regulation of nuclear gamma interferon gene expression by interleukin 12 (IL-12) and IL-2 represents a novel form of posttranscriptional control.
Posttranscriptional control of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) gene expression has not been extensively studied and is poorly understood. Our work describes a posttranscriptional mechanism that modulates IFN-gamma mRNA expression in stimulated natural killer (NK) cells through nuclear retention of the IFN-gamma mRNA. This is evidenced by the elevated and sustained nuclear accumulation of both prec...
متن کاملInterleukin 2 (IL-2) augments transcription of the IL-2 receptor gene.
We demonstrate that purified interleukin 2 (IL-2) can directly upregulate IL-2 receptor expression on phytohemagglutinin-activated T lymphocytes maintained in culture until IL-2 receptor expression had markedly declined. The IL-2-induced increase in IL-2 receptor number is maximal within 12 hr, requires new RNA and protein synthesis, and is mediated by an interaction of ligand with the high-aff...
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 کاملExpression of interleukin 2 receptors and binding of interleukin 2 by gamma interferon-induced human leukemic and normal monocytic cells
Gamma interferon induced surface expression of interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptors on normal human monocytes and the monocytoid cell lines U937 and HL60. These receptors were detected by anti-IL-2 receptor monoclonal antibodies, and U937 IL-2 receptors were indistinguishable from T lymphocyte IL-2 receptors by immunoprecipitation. Also, U937 IL-2 receptors bound biologically active IL-2. These resul...
متن کاملInvolvement of P-glycoprotein in the transmembrane transport of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, and interferon-gamma in normal human T lymphocytes.
The physiological role of the multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is expressed by normal human T lymphocytes, is still largely unknown. To investigate whether or not P-gp is involved in the transport of cytokines, peripheral blood lymphocytes were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in the absence or presence of P-gp inhibitors, and concentrations of cytokines (interleukin-2 ...
