چکیده
BACKGROUND Small intestinal epithelial cells (SIEC) may contribute to local immune regulation. AIM To examine production of interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 by freshly isolated human SIEC. METHODS IL-1alpha and IL-1beta mRNA in epithelial layers (EL) prepared from small intestine and in intestinal epithelial cell (EC) lines were examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 protein expression by SIEC was examined by flow cytometry before and after activation with lipopolysaccharide and epithelial growth factor. RESULTS IL-1alpha and IL-1beta mRNA was detected in EL and EC lines. Background expression of IL-1alpha and IL-1beta protein by SIEC was observed, which did not increase even following activation. IL-6 protein was expressed by SIEC, in a proportion that increased in two out of three samples following activation. CONCLUSIONS IL-6 expression and the presence of IL-1alpha and IL-1beta mRNA suggest a role for SIEC in the regulation of local inflammation.

The Role of Interleukin (IL-22) in immune response to human diseases
Background and aims: IL-22 is an alpha- helical cytokine. IL-22 binds to a heterodimeric cell surface receptor composed of IL-10R2 and IL-22R1subunits. IL-22R is expressed on tissue cells, and it is absent on immune cells. L-22 and IL-10 receptor chains play a role in cellular targeting and signal transduction to selectively initiate and regulate immune responses. The aim of this study was to i...

The study of mucosal immunity has revealed that complex reciprocal interactions occur between intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) and intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). The present study focuses on the induction of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase in cocultures of freshly isolated rat IEL and the rat epithelial cell line IEC-18 after the addition of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), tu...
