Regulation of IL-10 gene expression in Th2 cells by Jun proteins.

چکیده
IL-10 is a key regulatory cytokine produced by T lymphocytes. Although Th2 cells are a major source of IL-10, little is known about IL-10 gene regulation in Th2 cells. High levels of IL-10 mRNA transcription are induced in the Th2 clone D10 after PMA plus ionomycin (P/I) stimulation; however we found that the IL-10 promoter was not inducible by P/I in D10 cells. We therefore sought regulatory regions in the IL-10 gene that could promote P/I-activated transcription in Th2 cells. Two strong DNase I-hypersensitive sites (DHSSs) were identified in the IL-10 gene in mouse T cells, and conserved noncoding sequences (CNSs) between the mouse and human IL-10 genes were also identified. One IL-10 DHSS maps within or next to a highly conserved CNS region, CNS-3. The CNS-3 region contains an AP-1 site that binds JunB and c-Jun proteins specifically in Th2 cells and not in Th1 cells. The CNS-3 element activates transcription from the IL-10 promoter after P/I stimulation and is responsive to c-Jun and JunB. Retroviral mediated-expression of either c-Jun or JunB in primary T cells led to a large increase in IL-10 expression, and inhibition of AP-1 activity by a dominant negative form of c-Jun in primary T cells strongly repressed IL-10 expression. IFN-gamma was relatively unaffected by modulations in AP-1 activity. These data indicate that we have identified a novel regulatory element that can specifically activate transcription of the IL-10 gene in Th2 cells via the AP-1/Jun pathway.

Background : Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of airway that often determined with degrees of inflammation, hypersensitivity, bronchial constriction and airway changes. Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells are the main cells involved in the pathophysiology of asthma. . Therefore, this study evaluated Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells functions by assessment the expression of INF-g, IL-4, and IL-17 g...

Objective(s):The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has long been postulated to play an integral role in the pathophysiology of migraine. Earlier studies showed that CGRP can stimulate the synthesis and release of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines from trigeminal ganglion glial cells. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 17β-estradiol in regulation of CGRP exp...
