decreased circulating interleukin-35 levels are related to interleukin-4-producing cd8+ t cells in patients with allergic asthma

چکیده
interleukin (il)-35 is a newly discovered suppressive cytokine and has been shown to alleviate inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. the purpose of this study was to investigate immunomodulatory capacity of il-35 in patients with allergic asthma.il-35 mrna expression levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmcs) were detected by quantitative real-time pcr (qpcr). the frequencies of cytotoxic t cells (tc)1,tc2 and tc17 cells were measured by flow cytometry. plasma levels of il-35, interferon (ifn)-γ, il-4, and il-17 were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the correlations between plasma il-35 levels and tc1, tc2, and tc17 cytokine production in allergic asthmatics (n = 25) and healthy controls (n = 12) were analyzed by pearson’s test.il-35 protein and mrna expression levels were down-regulated in allergic asthmatics compared with healthy controls. the frequencies of tc2 and tc17 cells were significantly increased in patients with asthma, and the frequency of tc1 cells did not differ between asthmatic patients and healthy controls. similarly, plasma levels of il-4 and il-17 were significantly increased in asthmatic patients, while there was no difference in ifn-γ levels between allergic asthma patients and healthy controls. more importantly, plasma il-35 protein levels were negatively correlated with the frequency of il-4-producing cd8+ t (tc2) cells and with the il-4 level in patients with allergic asthma.our results suggest that decreased circulating il-35 levels could contribute to the pathogenesis of allergic asthma by regulating cd8+ t cells.

P37: Decreased Serum Levels of Interleukin-35 Among Patients with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
The regulatory role of interleukin-35 (IL-35) in the immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is suggested in very few studies. We aimed to measure serum levels of IL-35 among clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients and evaluate the associations between this cytokine and the disease clinical course. This cross-sectional study was conducted during 2017 ...
متن کاملSerum Interleukin-23 Levels in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis
Background: Patients with ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of inflammation. Interleukin 23 (IL-23) is a newly identified cytokine with increased expression in inflamed biopsies of colon mucosa in patients with Crohn's disease; however, there is inconsistent evidence on its role in ulcerative colitis. Objective: We aimed to compare serum IL-23 level in patients with ulcerative colitis an...
متن کاملInterleukin-17-producing decidual CD4+ T cells are not deleterious for human pregnancy when they also produce interleukin-4.
BACKGROUND Trophoblast expressing paternal HLA-C antigens resemble a semiallograft, and could be rejected by maternal CD4+ T lymphocytes. We examined the possible role in human pregnancy of Th17 cells, known to be involved in allograft rejection and reported for this reason to be responsible for miscarriages. We also studied Th17/Th1 and Th17/Th2 cells never investigated before. We defined for ...

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic periodontitis (CP) show common pathophysiological features. We investigated the serum levels of IL-23 and IL-35 in people with type 2 DM and CP. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 72 patients were divided into four equal groups: group A, participants without type 2 DM and CP; group B, patients with type 2 DM without CP; group C, patients ...

Methods: We obtained serum samples from asthmatic children under the age of 5-year in three different groups of mild (n=33), moderate (n=28) and severe (...
متن کاملInterferon- and interleukin-4 reciprocally regulate CD8 expression in CD8 T cells
The CD8 co-receptor can modulate CD8 T cell function through its contributions to T cell receptor (TCR) binding and signaling. Here we show that IFNand IL-4 exert opposing effects on the expression of CD8 mRNA and surface CD8 protein during CD8 T cell activation. IL-4 caused down-regulation of surface CD8 on ovalbumin (OVA)257–264-specific TCR-transgenic OT-I CD8 T cells activated with OVA257–2...
