1 19010904 By cDNA microarray, we have shown that gene transfer of human and rat adrenomedullin (AM) up-regulates IL-13Ralpha2 in a human prostate tumor cell line.
2 19010904 The 8- to 10-fold up-regulation of IL-13Ralpha2 by rAM or AM peptide in prostate tumor cells in vitro and in vivo increased their sensitivity to IL-13PE cytotoxin consisting of IL-13 and a truncated form of Pseudomonas exotoxin.
3 20068108 IL-13 induced transforming growth factor-beta1 promoter activity in IL-13Ralpha2-positive tumor cells and in cells engineered to express IL-13Ralpha2 but not in IL-13Ralpha2-negative or RNA interference knockdown cells. c-Jun and c-Fos of the AP-1 family of nuclear factors were activated by IL-13 only in IL-13Ralpha2-positive cells.
4 20068108 These results indicate that IL-13Ralpha2 is a functional receptor as IL-13 mediates signaling in human pancreatic cancer cell lines.
5 18795121 The high-affinity chain of IL-13Ralpha2 may act as negative inhibitor, suppressing the action of IL-13 and helping to maintain tumor immunosurveillance.
