Cutting edge: interleukin 17 signals through a heteromeric receptor complex.

Cutting edge: IL-26 signals through a novel receptor complex composed of IL-20 receptor 1 and IL-10 receptor 2.

The receptor for IL-26 (AK155), a cytokine of the IL-10 family, has not previously been defined. We demonstrate that the active receptor complex for IL-26 is a heterodimer composed of two receptor proteins: IL-20R1 and IL-10R2. Signaling through the IL-26R results in activation of STAT1 and STAT3 which can be blocked by neutralizing Abs against IL-20R1 or IL-10R2. IL-10R2 is broadly expressed o...

Cutting edge: STAT activation by IL-19, IL-20 and mda-7 through IL-20 receptor complexes of two types.

IL-10-related cytokines include IL-20 and IL-22, which induce, respectively, keratinocyte proliferation and acute phase production by hepatocytes, as well as IL-19, melanoma differentiation-associated gene 7, and AK155, three cytokines for which no activity nor receptor complex has been described thus far. Here, we show that mda-7 and IL-19 bind to the previously described IL-20R complex, compo...

Identification of functional roles for both IL-17RB and IL-17RA in mediating IL-25-induced activities.

IL-25 (IL-17E) is a unique IL-17 family ligand that promotes Th2-skewed inflammatory responses. Intranasal administration of IL-25 into naive mice induces pulmonary inflammation similar to that seen in patients with allergic asthma, including increases in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid eosinophils, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid IL-5 and IL-13 concentrations, goblet cell hyperplasia, and increased ...

Cutting edge: Alternative signaling of Th17 cell development by sphingosine 1-phosphate.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in blood and lymph controls T cell traffic and proliferation through type 1 S1P receptor (S1P(1)) signals, but suppression of IFN-gamma generation has been the only consistently observed effect on T cell cytokines. The fact that S1P enhances the development of Th17 cells from Ag-challenged transgenic S1P(1)-overexpressing CD4 T cells suggested that the S1P-S1P(1) a...
