Functional Characterization of the Avian Inflammatory Mediators Nod1, MIF and IL-22
… that the presence of rChMIF enhanced levels of IL-1β and iNOS during monocytes stimulation with LPS. Additionally, Con A-stimulated lymphocytes exhibited enhanced IFN-γ and IL-2 transcripts in the presence of rChMIF. IL-22, which may act as a signal regulator, is an important effector of …

Gene expression in synovial fibroblasts from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients Novel expression of IL-19 and IL-22 by fibroblasts
… two pro-inflammatory cytokines belonging to the IL-10 family of cytokines, IL-19 and IL-22, are constitutively expressed in cultured FLS, and this expression was independent of length of culture. The other work in this thesis focused on identifying potential cytokine receptors expressed in FLS …

Effects of Acute Alcohol Exposure on Post Burn Intestinal Immunity: Role of IL-23
<p>More than one million burn injuries are reported yearly within the United States. These injuries result in approximately 500,000 emergency room visits and 40,000 hospitalizations annually. Greater than 50% of these injuries occur under the influence of alcohol/ethanol (EtOH) intoxication. Burn …

Innate Interleukin-17 and Interleukin-22 play important roles in viral hepatitis
Intrahepatic cell-derived IL-17 and IL-22 are important for T cell priming and hepatoprotection in viral hepatitis, respectively; however, the source and regulation of these cytokines in the liver microenvironment are not well defined. Here, we present evidence for a significant expansion of IL-17- …

Investigating cytokine responses to different strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
… differences in the adaptive immune response (IL-22 and IL-17) induced by various Mtb strains, however these differences have not been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to investigate CD4+ T cell adaptive cytokine responses (IFN-γ, IL-22 and IL-17) in blood from human volunteers with …

TRYPTOPHAN-DERIVED MICROBIAL METABOLITES PROMOTE NKT22 PRO-TUMORIGENIC FUNCTIONS IN COLITIS ASSOCIATED COLORECTAL CANCER PATIENTS
… IBD have an elevated risk of developing CAC. IL-22, a cytokine involved in epithelial cell proliferation and survival, is also linked to tumor formation. It is secreted by various immune cells, including tissue-resident iNKT cells. In IBD, iNKT cells exhibit either pro-inflammatory or …

Neutrophil Regulation of Colitis
… component of the innate immune system, neutrophils are the first responders to sites of inflammation when the intestinal epithelial barrier is breached and gut microbiota invade. Although accumulation of neutrophils in the intestine is correlated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the …

Regulatory Immune Responses and Repair Mechanisms in Atherosclerosis

Investigating the role of IgG and Fcγ receptors in intestinal inflammation
… genetic variation in Fcγ receptors (FcγRs), a family of receptors that mediate immune cell activation by IgG, influences susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), suggesting that IgG may be important during gut inflammation. IBD is a chronic relapsing condition with two major subtypes, …

Innate memory to bacterial infection
The innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) ILC1, ILC2, and ILC3, which also includes the natural killer (NK) cells are important regulators and first line responder during pathogen invasion. The role of ILCs was evaluated using FACS sorting, cytokine production and surface markers analysis, cell depletion, …

The Effect of Endocytosis of Interferon-lambda and The Genotype of IL-10RB on The Cellular Responses to Cytokines
… IFN-의 endocytosis pathway에 대하여 조사하고자 하였다. 다음으로, IL-10R2의 E47 allele가 HBV clearance와 관련됨이 Gambian을 대상으로 한 SNP연구에서 보고되었다. IL-10R2를 수용체로 이용하는 사이토카인 중 IFN-R와 IL-22R1은 간세포에서 발현되며, 바이러스 증식을 억제함이 연구 되었다. 그러나, IFN-와 IL-22의 반응성에 IL-10R2 유전자형이 미치는 영향에 대해서는 조사되지 않았다. 따라서, IL-10R2 유전자형에 따른 IFN- 또는 IL-22의 …

Identification and characterisation of Group 3 Innate Lymphoid Cells in the renal tract
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) bear similarities to T-helper (Th) cells, but lack T cell receptors. The three groups mirror the effector functions of Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells and share the same transcription factors and cytokine profiles. This project focussed on type 3 ILCs (ILC3s) found primarily at …

Exploring the role and the function of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) and Aryl Hydrocarbon Nuclear Translocator (ARNT) in T cells
… seems to be critical for the production of the IL-22 cytokine. It is known that AhR ligands such as dioxins can suppress CD8 T cell mediated antiviral immune responses but it is not known whether this reflects a direct role of the AhR in CD8 T cells. <br/>Accordingly, one objective of the …

Characterisation of the anti-inflammatory potential of ES-62 in autoimmune disease
Filarial nematode infections remain a significant threat of morbidity in the Tropics. Collectively known as filariasis, these helminth infections can result in gross inflammatory pathology of the infected host. However, more commonly, the host remains relatively asymptomatic, exhibiting a somewhat …
