28 16275627 Chlorophyllin attenuates IFN-gamma expression in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated murine splenic mononuclear cells via suppressing IL-12 production.
29 16275627 RT-PCR analysis showed that LPS-activated IFN-gamma expression gradually declined by CHL treatment in a dose dependent manner while mRNA production of TNF-alpha, IL-2, and FasL was not changed.
30 16275627 CHL also suppressed IL-12 production (p70, a heterodimer of p40 and p35) and the mRNA expression of IL-12 p40 and IL-12 receptors (both IL-12Rbeta1 and IL-12Rbeta2), which are involved in the induction of IFN-gamma expression.
31 16275627 Furthermore, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that CHL inhibited DNA binding activity of NF-kappaB, STAT-3, and STAT-4 to their cognate DNA recognition motifs, all of which contribute to the IL-12-induced IFN-gamma transcription.
32 16275627 Exogenous addition of recombinant IL-12 abrogated the inhibitory effect of CHL on IFN-gamma and its mRNA expression in LPS-activated splenocytes.
33 16275627 Collectively, these results show that CHL inhibits IFN-gamma production by LPS-stimulated splenic mononuclear cells due to down-regulation of IL-12 production.

56 20375997 Interestingly, CT regulated the expression of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 gene and influenced the level and activation of both isoforms STAT3 alpha and STAT3 beta, in vitro in a B-cell line and in Peyer's patch (PP) B cells and in vivo in freshly isolated splenic B cells from CT-treated mice.
57 20375997 B cells pre-exposed to CT were significantly more susceptible to the activation of STAT3 by interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10.

69 21257966 Intrinsic IL-21 signaling is critical for CD8 T cell survival and memory formation in response to vaccinia viral infection.
70 21257966 CD4 T cell help plays an important role in promoting CD8 T cell immunity to pathogens.
71 21257966 In models of infection with vaccinia virus (VV) and Listeria monocytogenes, CD4 T cell help is critical for the survival of activated CD8 T cells during both the primary and memory recall responses.
72 21257966 Still unclear, however, is how CD4 T cell help promotes CD8 T cell survival.
73 21257966 In this study, we first showed that CD4 T cell help for the CD8 T cell response to VV infection was mediated by IL-21, a cytokine produced predominantly by activated CD4 T cells, and that direct action of IL-21 on CD8 T cells was critical for the VV-specific CD8 T cell response in vivo.
74 21257966 We next demonstrated that this intrinsic IL-21 signaling was essential for the survival of activated CD8 T cells and the generation of long-lived memory cells.
75 21257966 We further revealed that IL-21 promoted CD8 T cell survival in a mechanism dependent on activation of the STAT1 and STAT3 pathways and subsequent upregulation of the prosurvival molecules Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L).
76 21257966 These results identify a critical role for intrinsic IL-21 signaling in CD8 T cell responses to an acute viral infection in vivo and may help design effective vaccine strategies.

79 21633673 Those DCs were activated, in an otherwise suppressive microenvironment, as evidenced by a high expression of costimulatory molecules CD86 and CD40.
80 21784871 Because immunosuppression continues to be a major inhibitor of cancer vaccine efficacy, we examined in this study whether therapeutically targeted delivery of a synthetic STAT-3 inhibitor to the TME, combined with an HER-2 DNA vaccine can improve immune surveillance against HER-2(+) breast cancer and prevent its recurrence.
81 21784871 Furthermore, we showed that treatment with these NPs resulted in priming of the immune TME, characterized by increased IFN-γ, p-STAT-1, GM-CSF, IL-2, IL-15, and IL-12b and reduced TGF-β, IL-6, and IL-10 protein expression.
82 22169598 In in vitro glioma cells, there was a positive correlation between the protein levels of TLR9 and both matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 (p<0.05), but no relationship between TLR9 levels and levels of interleukin-6, transforming growth factor-β2 or signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 (p>0.05).
83 22441015 Autophagy inhibition in hypoxic cells decreases phospho-STAT3 and restores CTL-mediated tumor cell killing by a mechanism involving the ubiquitin proteasome system and SQSTM1/p62.
84 22481968 Immunological inhibitory cytokines, such as TGF-β, IL-10, IL-6 and VEGF, which are produced from myeloma cells, can modulate antitumor host immune response, including the abrogation of DC function, by constitutive activation of STAT3.
85 22581824 IL-10 directly activates and expands tumor-resident CD8(+) T cells without de novo infiltration from secondary lymphoid organs.
86 22581824 Here we show that treatment with the pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) induces specific activation of tumor-resident CD8(+) T cells as well as their intratumoral expansion in several mouse tumor models.
87 22581824 We found that inhibition of T-cell trafficking from lymphoid organs did not impair IL-10-induced tumor rejection or the activation of tumor-resident CD8(+) T cells.
88 22581824 Tumor-resident CD8(+) T cells expressed elevated levels of the IL-10 receptor and were directly activated by IL-10, resulting in prominent phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT1.
89 22581824 Although CD4(+) T cells, regulatory T cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells have been reported as prominent targets of IL-10 in the tumor microenvironment, we found that expression of the IL-10R was required only on CD8(+) T cells to facilitate IL-10-induced tumor rejection as well as in situ expansion and proliferation of tumor-resident CD8 T cells.
90 22581824 Together, our findings indicate that IL-10 activates CD8(+) T-cell-mediated tumor control and suggest that IL-10 may represent a potential tumor immunotherapy in human patients with cancer.

126 23447690 IL-6 mediated STAT3 activation is important for downregulation of IL-2Rα to limit Th1 cell differentiation in an acute viral infection.
127 23447690 Thus, IL-6 signaling is a major early inducer of the Tfh differentiation program unexpectedly mediated by both STAT3 and STAT1 transcription factors.
128 23886112 These approaches have included: (1) the use of IL-17A and IL-17F-deficient mice, (2) specific antibodies directed against IL-17, (3) an IL-17 vaccine, (4) methods to block the IL-17 receptor and (5) small-molecule inhibitors of IL-17.
129 23886112 This paper will review the preclinical results using various pharmacological approaches [specific IL-17 antibodies, an IL-17 receptor fusion protein, IL-12/IL-23 p40 subunit and IL-17 vaccine approaches, as well as a small molecule inhibitor (Vidofludimus)] to inhibit IL-17 in animal models of IBD.
130 23886112 Finally, future pharmacological approaches of interest will be discussed, such as: (1) Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan nuclear receptor gamma t (Rorγt) antagonists, (2) Retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) antagonists, (3) Pim-1 kinase inhibitors and (4) Dual small-molecule inhibitors of NF-κB and STAT3, like synthetic triterpenoids.
131 23958949 Here, we report that patients with melanoma receiving DD immediately before a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine failed to develop a tumor-antigen-specific CD4 and CD8 T-cell immune response even after repeated vaccinations.
132 23958949 First, DD modulated DCs toward tolerance by downregulating costimulatory receptors such as CD83 and CD25 while upregulating tolerance-associated proteins/pathways including Stat-3, β-catenin, and class II transactivator-dependent antigen presentation.
133 24100507 Among the seven STAT family proteins, STAT3 is constitutively activated in many diverse cancers.
134 24100507 STAT3 downstream proteins involved in cell proliferation and survival, such as c-Myc and Mcl-1, are downregulated by MLS-2384 in prostate cancer cells, whereas survivin is downregulated in A2058 cells.
135 24100507 Our findings support further development of MLS-2384 as a potential small-molecule therapeutic agent that targets JAK, Src, and STAT3 signaling in multiple human cancer cells.

142 24154870 Systemic inhibition of TLR9, but not TLR4, delayed tumor recurrence in mouse models of B16 melanoma, MB49 bladder cancer, and CT26 colon cancer after localized high-dose tumor irradiation.
143 24154870 The tumorigenic effects of TLR9 depended on MyD88/NF-κB-mediated upregulation of interleukin (IL)-6 expression, which in turn resulted in downstream activation of Jak/STAT3 signaling in myeloid cells.
144 24154870 In comparing global gene expression in wild-type, TLR9-, or STAT3-deficient myeloid cells derived from irradiated tumors, we identified a unique set of TLR9/STAT3-regulated genes involved in tumor-promoting inflammation and revascularization.
145 24154870 Blocking STAT3 function by two myeloid-specific genetic strategies corrected TLR9-mediated cancer recurrence after radiotherapy.

162 24324467 IL-6, Prostaglandin-E2, and IL-10 were identified as factors in cultures of primary human tumors responsible for the inhibited development and activation of skin DC as well as monocyte-derived DC.
163 24324467 Mostly from mouse studies, the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway has emerged as a "master switch" of tumor-induced immune suppression.
164 24360890 We found a strong correlation between leptin concentration and BMI (r=0.55, p<0.0001), but no association with hemagglutination antibody inhibition (HAI), B-cell, or granzyme B responses.
165 24360890 We found eight SNPs in the LEP/LEPR/GHRL genes that were associated with leptin levels and four SNPs in the PTPN1/LEPR/STAT3 genes associated with peripheral blood TREC levels (p<0.05).
166 24360890 We also found eight SNPs in the LEP/PPARG/CRP genes associated with variations in influenza-specific HAI and B-cell responses (p<0.05).
167 24605077 TFH cells are characterized by their expression of master regulator, Bcl-6, and chemokine receptor, CXCR5, which are essential for the migration of T cells into the B cell follicle.
168 24605077 IL-6 and IL-21 cytokine-mediated STAT signaling pathways, including STAT1 and STAT3, are crucial for inducing Bcl-6 expression and TFH cell differentiation.
169 24605077 TFH cells express important surface molecules such as ICOS, PD-1, IL-21, BTLA, SAP and CD40L for mediating the interaction between T and B cells.
170 24605077 The miR-17-92 cluster induces Bcl-6 and TFH cell differentiation, whereas miR-10a negatively regulates Bcl-6 expression in T cells.
171 24605077 In addition, follicular regulatory T (TFR) cells are studied as thymus-derived CXCR5(+)PD-1(+)Foxp3(+) Treg cells that play a significant role in limiting the GC response.
172 24777831 PIAS1 and STAT-3 impair the tumoricidal potential of IFN-γ-stimulated mouse dendritic cells generated with IL-15.
173 24777831 We report here that the tumoricidal potential of mouse DCs generated from myeloid precursors with GM-CSF and IL-15 (IL-15 DCs) can be triggered with the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 ligand lipopolysaccharide to a similar extent compared with that of their counterparts, conventionally generated with IL-4 (IL-4 DCs).
174 24777831 In contrast, interferon (IFN)-γ induces the cytotoxic activity of IL-4 but not IL-15 DCs.
175 24777831 Although the IFN-γ-STAT-1 signaling pathway is overall functional in IL-15 DCs, IFN-γ fails to induce iNOS expression in these cells. iNOS expression is negatively controlled in IFN-γ-stimulated IL-15 DCs by the cooperation between the E3 SUMO ligase PIAS1 and STAT-3, and can be partially restored with PIAS1 siRNA and STAT-3 inhibitors.

180 24806510 We also assessed the impact of STAT3 deletion on phagocytosis, maturation, cytokine secretion and antigen presentation by GM-CSF derived DCs in vitro.
181 24806510 In contrast, STAT3 was not required for GM-CSF induced DC differentiation as both wild type and STAT3 null bone marrow cells gave rise to similar number of DCs.
182 24806510 STAT3 also appeared to regulate the response of GM-CSF derived DCs to CpG.
183 24806510 STAT3 null DCs expressed high levels of MHC-II, secreted more IL-12p70, IL-10, and TNFα were better antigen presenters in vitro.

196 24835401 To study this, we employed an in vitro system in which influenza hemagglutinin (HA) 1 was delivered to dendritic cells (DCs) via Dectin-1 using anti-human Dectin-1 (hDectin-1)-HA1 recombinant fusion proteins.
197 24835401 Nonetheless, these DCs were not able to induce a significant level of HA1-specific Th17 responses even in the presence of the Th17-promoting cytokines IL-1β and IL-6.
198 24835401 Thus, interruptions in STAT3 or MyD88 signaling led to substantially diminished HA1-specific Th17 induction.
199 25367297 CD14(+)CD16(+) inflammatory monocytes were induced after vaccination in both young and older adults.
200 25367297 In classical CD14(+)CD16(-) and inflammatory monocytes, production of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6, as measured by intracellular staining, was strongly induced after vaccination.
201 25367297 In purified monocytes, we found age-associated elevation in phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription-3, and decreased serine 359 phosphorylation of the negative IL-10 regulator dual-specificity phosphatase 1.
202 25457983 In the present study, Poly I:C (PIC, a TLR3 agonist), STAT3 siRNA and OVA antigen were co-encapsulated by poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (L-lysine)-b-poly (L-leucine) (PEG-PLL-PLLeu) polypeptide micelles to generate PMP/OVA/siRNA nanovaccine, which was aimed to effectively overcome DC dysfunction in vivo by deleting STAT3 gene in situ.
203 25457983 PMP/OVA/siRNA also elevated CD86 and CD40 expression as well as IL-12 production by TADCs more effectively than PMP/OVA did, indicating its strong potency of inducing TADC maturation and activation.
204 25773885 When phosphorylation of STAT3 was inhibited in DCs, we found that DCs did not suppress NK cells, and observed an increase in the production of lymphotoxin-alpha (LTα) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) as well as reduced release of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β).
205 25814664 Here, we found that GSK-3β-dependent IDO expression in the dendritic cell (DC) plays a role in anti-tumor activity via the regulation of CD8(+) T-cell polarization and cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity.
206 25814664 By the inhibition of GSK-3β, attenuated IDO expression and impaired JAK1/2-Stat signaling crucial for IDO expression were observed.
207 25814664 Protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) activity and the interaction between JAK1/2 and Stat3, which are important for IDO expression, were also reduced by GSK-3β inhibition.
208 25814664 CD8(+) T-cell proliferation mediated by OVA-pulsed DC was blocked by interferon (IFN)-γ-induced IDO expression via GSK-3β activity.
209 25814664 Specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity mediated by OVA-pulsed DC against OVA-expressing EG7 thymoma cells but not OVA-nonexpressing EL4 thymoma cells was also attenuated by the expressed IDO via IFN-γ-induced activation of GSK-3β.
210 25814664 Furthermore, tumor growth that was suppressed with OVA-pulsed DC vaccination was restored by IDO-expressing DC via IFN-γ-induced activation of GSK-3β in an OVA-expressing murine EG7 thymoma model.
211 25814664 Taken together, DC-based immune response mediated by interferon-γ-induced IDO expression via GSK-3β activity not only regulates CD8(+) T-cell proliferation and cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity but also modulates OVA-pulsed DC vaccination against EG7 thymoma.
212 25962106 Wogonin also promoted the secretion of calreticulin and high-mobility group protein 1 by tumor cells.
213 25962106 The dephosphorylation of STAT3 contributed to the decreased expression of B7H1 and MHC class I chain-related protein A, and the enhancement of calreticulin on the cell membrane.
214 26090579 IFN-α-Induced Downregulation of miR-221 in Dendritic Cells: Implications for HCV Pathogenesis and Treatment.
215 26090579 We report that IFN-α downregulates miR-221 in both DC subsets via inhibition of STAT3.
216 26090579 We validated proapoptotic proteins BCL2L11 and CDKN1C as miR-221 targets suggesting that IFN-α can induce DC apoptosis via miR-221 downregulation.
217 26090579 In addition, we validated another miR-221 target, SOCS1, which is known to be a negative regulator of JAK/STAT signaling.
218 26090579 Consistent with this, miR-221 overexpression in mDCs enhanced the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α.
219 26090579 In peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of HIV-1/HCV co-infected individuals undergoing IFN-α-based treatment the baseline miR-221 expression was lower in non-responders compared with responders; and miR-221 expression directly correlated with DC frequency and IL-6/TNF-α secretion.
220 26343197 This review provides an appraisal of some of the key signaling pathways that may contribute to immune suppression in ovarian cancer, with a particular focus on the potential involvement of the c-KIT/PI3K/AKT, wnt/β-catenin, IL-6/STAT3 and AhR signaling pathways in regulation of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase expression in tumor-associated macrophages.
