1 14525620 The 29 known interleukins were clustered into three groups: noxious (the "bad", 8 members), comprising IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-15, IL-17 and IL-18; protective (the "good", 5 members), comprising IL-4, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12 and IL-13; and "aloof", comprising IL-5, IL-9, IL-14, IL-16 and IL-19 through IL-29 (15 members).
2 16098919 IL-15 is a 14-15 kD cytokine produced by monocytes/macrophages and shares some biological actions with IL-2.
3 16367949 IL-10 and IL-15 increased significantly from phases 2 to 3, whereas that of TNF-alpha decreased significantly and progressively from phases 1 to 3 in the spleens.
4 16367949 In the present study, there was a progressive and significant increase in the expression levels of IL-15, together with Th1 cytokines (IL-12 and IFN-gamma) during SPTB but a significant decrease during LTB.
5 16367949 IL-15 is known to up-regulate the production of proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1beta, IL-8, IL-12, IL-17, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and has an inhibitory effect on activation-induced cell death.
6 18431511 In this issue of the JCI, Monti et al. report that immune conditioning via use of the Edmonton protocol - a treatment approach in which T1DM patients infused with pancreatic islets from multiple cadaveric donors simultaneously receive immunosuppressive drugs - results in lymphopenia that is associated with elevated serum levels of the homeostatic cytokines IL-7 and IL-15, which causes in vivo expansion of the autoreactive CD8(+) T cell population (see the related article beginning on page 1806).
7 20519645 In this study, we examined whether CD8 T cells that accumulate in suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1)-deficient mice because of increased IL-15 signaling in vivo would respond to an autoantigen expressed at a very low level using a mouse model of autoimmune diabetes.
8 20622171 Several CNVs disrupt known candidate genes for obesity, such as a 3.3-Mb deletion disrupting NAP1L5 and a 2.1-Mb deletion disrupting UCP1 and IL15.
9 21430227 In this paper, we report that prior stimulation with IL-15 and IL-21 also enables CD8(+) T cells to respond to weakly agonistic TCR ligands, resulting in proliferation, cytokine secretion, and cytolytic activity.
10 21430227 Using a transgenic mouse model of autoimmune diabetes, we show that cytokine-primed autoreactive CD8(+) T cells induce disease following stimulation by weak TCR ligands, but their diabetogenic potential is dependent on continuous availability of IL-15 in vivo.
