Stat4 regulates multiple components of IFN-gamma-inducing signaling pathways.
Stat4 is activated in response to IL-12. Most functions of IL-12, including the induction of IFN-gamma, are compromised in the absence of Stat4. Since the precise role of Stat4 in IFN-gamma induction has not been established, experiments were conducted to examine Stat4 activation of IFN-gamma and other genes required for cytokine-induced expression of IFN-gamma. We first examined IL-12 signalin...
متن کاملThe role of Stat4 in species-specific regulation of Th cell development by type I IFNs.
Type I IFNs (IFN-alpha/beta), in addition to IL-12, have been shown to play an important role in the differentiation of human, but not mouse, Th cells. We show here that IFN-alpha/beta act directly on human T cells to drive Th1 development, bypassing the need for IL-12-induced signaling, whereas IFN-alpha cannot substitute IL-12 for mouse Th1 development. The molecular basis for this species sp...
متن کاملA mechanism underlying STAT4-mediated up-regulation of IFN-gamma induction inTCR-triggered T cells.
IL-12 promotes T(h)1 development/IFN-gamma expression by activating STAT4. However, it is still unclear how STAT4 elicits IFN-gamma promoter activation. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which IL-12-activated STAT4 functions for IFN-gamma induction in TCR-triggered T cells. TCR stimulation induced high levels of IFN-gamma production depending on co-stimulation with IL-12. IL-12 stimulation...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 Receptor/STAT4 Signaling Is Required for the Development of Autoimmune Myocarditis in Mice by an Interferon- –Independent Pathway
Background—Interleukin (IL)-12 exerts a potent proinflammatory effect by stimulating T-helper (Th) 1 responses. This effect is believed to be mediated primarily through the activation of STAT4 and subsequent production of interferon (IFN). Methods and Results—We examined the role of IL-12 receptor (IL-12R) signaling in the development of murine experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) induced ...
