The relationship established between Leishmania infantum and the vertebrate host can lead to a self-healing infection or to the manifestation of visceral leishmaniasis, a chronic systemic infection associated with high rates of mortality. We hypothesized that regulatory cytokines, such as interleukin-27 (IL-27), play a role in susceptibility to L. infantum infection. IL-27 is a heterodimeric cy...

background: interleukin (il)-23 and il-27 are two il-12-related cytokines which their function may dramatically influence the inflammatory response to tumor development. il-12 and il-27 seem to have antagonistic roles with il-23 in tumor site. in this study, il-23 and il-27 mrna expressions were analyzed in peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer and healthy volunteers using quantitativ...

Background: Effector CD4+ T cell subsets play an important role in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Interleukin-27 (IL-27) suppresses Th (Th1, Th2 and Th17) cells and dampens autoimmunity and tissue inflammation by promoting the generation of Type 1 regulatory T cells (Tr1). Objective: To identify the relative levels of IL-27 and IL-17A in MS disease. Method: In a case-control study, venous blood was c...

background in some autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (ra), interleukin-27 (il-27) and il-33 levels are increased. these observations suggest that il-27 and il-33 may have a role in the pathogenesis of polymyositis/dermatomyositis (pm/dm). conclusions these data indicate that il-27 might be selectively involved in the pathogenesis of dm and pm. however, il-33 does not appear to be...
