25 7485382 MNC lacked labeling for IL-4, IL-10, prostaglandin-E, or transforming growth factor-beta.
26 7485382 By contrast, at 10 weeks, pancreatic tissues from NOD mice fed insulin showed considerably less insulitis, and the residual MNC, although still largely CD4+ T cells plus macrophages, showed dense labeling for IL-4, IL-10, prostaglandin-E, and transforming growth factor-beta and an absence of IL-2, IFN-gamma or tumor necrosis factor-alpha Taken together with our previous findings, these data indicate that oral administration of insulin affects the development of diabetes in NOD mice through the generation of cells that elaborate immunoregulatory cytokines within the target organ and shift the balance from a Th1 to a Th2 pattern of cytokine expression.

55 7540571 We detect a significant increase in the level of expression of interferon (IFN)-alpha in the pancreases of the diabetic patients as compared with the control pancreases.
56 7540571 In contrast, IFN-beta was detected at comparable levels in both groups, while IFN-gamma was detected in three of four control pancreases and one of four pancreases from the diabetic individuals.
57 7540571 The IFN-alpha cDNAs generated by the RT-PCR were cloned and sequenced to determine which alpha-subtypes were being expressed.
58 7540571 We also examined these pancreases for the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-2, IL-4, and IL-6.
59 7540571 We found no detectable expression of TNF-alpha or IL-2 in any pancreases, and the expression of the other cytokines was variable, with no pattern emerging from the comparison of the diabetic and nondiabetic individuals.
60 7540571 We conclude that, of the cytokines examined, only IFN-alpha was significantly increased in the diabetic patients, a result that is consistent with the possibility that this cytokine is directly involved in the development of type I diabetes.
61 7559579 Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is the major cytoplasmic substrate of the insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 receptors.
62 7559579 Transgenic mice lacking IRS-1 are resistant to insulin and IGF-1, but exhibit significant residual insulin action which corresponds to the presence of an alternative high molecular weight substrate in liver and muscle.

64 7559579 Following insulin stimulation, 4PS is rapidly phosphorylated in liver and muscle, binds to the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase, and activates the enzyme.
65 7559579 IRS-2, which plays a major role in physiologic insulin signal transduction via both PI 3-kinase activation and Grb 2/Sos association.
66 7559579 In IRS-1-deficient mice, 4PS/IRS-2 provides signal transduction to these two major pathways of insulin signaling.
67 7578887 The percentage of CD4+PBL was higher in NOD/Smrf females than males, was intermediate in [NOD X NON] F1 mice and approximated a 1:1 distribution in F1 mice backcrossed to either NOD or NON parental strains, suggesting primary control of the phenotype by an incompletely dominant gene, but not excluding additional effects by other genes.
68 7578887 We term this primary gene Tlf(T lymphocyte frequency) because it also influenced the percentage of CD8+ T cells, although to lesser extent and independently from the MHC previously shown to lower the CD8+ T cell fraction in NON mice.
69 7578887 Dihydrotestosterone simultaneously lowered CD4+ PBL levels and prevented diabetes in NOD females while, in vitro, it had a differential effect on Con A elicited cytokines, increasing IL-2 22% and decreasing IL-4 39% (p < 0.0001).

190 7675087 Role of IRS-2 in insulin and cytokine signalling.

192 7675087 We purified and cloned a likely candidate called 4PS from myeloid progenitor cells and, because of its resemblance to IRS-1, we designate it IRS-2.

194 7718517 Differential patterns of production of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, IL-2, IL-3 and IL-4 by cultured islets of Langerhans from non-obese diabetic and non-diabetic strains of mice.
195 7718517 Each of the cytokines studied, i.e. granulocyte-monocyte colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IL-2, IL-3 and IL-4, showed different patterns of production.
196 7718517 For NOD islets, GM-CSF and IL-3 levels correlated with the degree of infiltrate release, although production was not confined to islets that released mononuclear cells in vitro.
197 7718517 However, GM-CSF differed from IL-3 in that it was produced by islets from some non-diabetic strains of mice, whereas IL-3 production was confined to NOD islets.
198 7718517 Finally, male NOD islets produced more IL-4 than females, possibly related to the lower incidence of diabetes in males, but unlike GM-CSF and IL-3, IL-4 production did not correlate with the degree of infiltrate released in culture.

209 7722337 We found that mRNA levels of IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, and IFN-gamma in mononuclear cells from islets of diabetes-prone female NOD mice increased progressively as these cells infiltrated the islets from age 5 wk to diabetes onset (> 13 wk).
210 7722337 Splenic cell mRNA levels of IFN-gamma and IL-4 were not different in the four groups of mice.

213 7836934 T cells play a major role in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice.
214 7836934 Administration of interleukin 12 (IL-12), a key cytokine which guides the development of T helper type 1 (Th1) CD4+ T cells, induces rapid onset of IDDM in NOD, but not in BALB/c mice.
215 7836934 CD4+ pancreas-infiltrating T cells, after activation by insolubilized anti T cell receptor antibody, secrete high levels of interferon gamma and low levels of IL-4.
216 7836934 Therefore, IL-12 administration accelerates IDDM development in genetically susceptible NOD mice, and this correlates with increased Th1 cytokine production by islet-infiltrating cells.

227 7888039 The response was directed to the same peptide and most were found to produce IFN gamma, but none produced IL-4.
228 7913115 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), in which only the pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by the autoimmune response, is the paradigm of organ-specific autoimmunity.
229 7913115 The analysis of the correlation between class I overexpression, residual insulin, and insulitis suggests that the first event is the increase of HLA class I expression.
230 7913115 Of adhesion molecules, ICAM-1, VLA, VCAM, and LFA-3 were normal and only ICAM-1 was moderately overexpressed in and around the islets of case 1 insulitis, as was detected by immunofluorescence which showed that 18% of the islets of case 1 had CD8+ lymphocytes as the predominant population.
231 7913115 Reverse transcription-PCR demonstrated moderate V beta skewing and the profile of cytokines expected in CTLs: IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, and IFN-gamma negative, perforin positive.
232 7913115 In addition, IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, and IL-6 transcripts were detected in the case 1 pancreas, consistent with the existence of a silent viral infection.

236 7961833 Expression of the insulin receptor alone partially mediates insulin-stimulated microtubule-associated protein (MAP) kinase activation, and the addition of IRS-1 enhances this effect (Myers, M.
237 7961833 Expression of IRS-1 alone in 32D cells mediates the stimulation of p70S6k by insulin, IGF-1, or IL-4; addition of insulin receptor to these cells increases the sensitivity of the insulin response.
238 7961833 In contrast, full insulin stimulation of PI 3'-kinase requires both the insulin receptor and IRS-1, suggesting that a high level of IRS-1 phosphorylation is required for insulin-stimulated PI 3'-kinase activation, whereas a low level of IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation transmits an essential signal to p70S6k.
239 7961833 Both insulin receptors and IRS-1 are required for mitogenic signaling in 32D cells suggesting that MAP kinase or p70S6k alone are not sufficient, and that both or additional unknown IRS-1-mediated signals are necessary.

254 7988786 Analysis of cytokine mRNA expression in syngeneic islet grafts of NOD mice: interleukin 2 and interferon gamma mRNA expression correlate with graft rejection and interleukin 10 with graft survival.
255 7988786 Interleukin 10 mRNA expression was significantly increased whereas interleukin 2 and interferon gamma mRNA levels were significantly decreased in islet grafts from complete Freund's adjuvant-injected mice compared to control mice.
256 7988786 Levels of mRNA for interleukin 1 beta, interleukin 4, and tumour necrosis factor alpha were not significantly different in islet grafts from complete Freund's adjuvant-injected and control mice.
257 7988786 These findings suggest that a Th1 subset of lymphocytes and their cytokine products, interleukin 2 and interferon gamma, may be involved in the rejection of syngeneic islet grafts and diabetes recurrence in NOD mice, and that the protective effect of complete Freund's adjuvant may result from the induction of interleukin 10 production and consequent down-regulation of Th1 cells and cytokines in the islet graft.
258 8011155 Suppression can be adoptively transferred by CD8+ T lymphocytes which act by releasing TGF-beta and IL-4 following antigen-specific triggering.
259 8048169 Insulin-receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) is a principal substrate of the receptor tyrosine kinase for insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1, and a substrate for a tyrosine kinase activated by interleukin 4.
260 8048169 IRS-1 undergoes multisite tyrosine phosphorylation and mediates downstream signals by 'docking' various proteins that contain Src homology 2 domains.
261 8056185 In IDDM, IL-2 production by CD4-positive T lymphocytes within the IL-2 system is thought to be selectively defective.
262 8056185 On the other hand, IL-4, which is also produced by CD4-positive T lymphocytes, was increased.
263 8056185 Since IL-4 did not suppress IL-2 production, it would seem that the IL-2 producing subset in CD4+HLA-DR+ T cells is decreased in IDDM.
264 8056185 These results suggest that in recent onset IDDM, IL-2 receptor-positive circulating T cells require an IL-2 supply.

269 8094734 Diabetes in these lymphopoenic rats was associated with extensive insulitis involving CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and macrophages.
270 8094734 The autoimmune diabetes and insulitis were completely prevented by the injection of a particular CD4+ T cell subset, isolated from healthy syngeneic donors, of the phenotype CD45RClow T cell receptor alpha/beta+ RT6+ Thy-1- OX-40-.
271 8094734 Cells of this protective phenotype, which make up about 5% of thoracic duct lymphocytes, were found to provide help for secondary antibody responses and produce interleukin 2 (IL-2) and IL-4, but no interferon gamma, on in vitro activation.
272 8100786 The NOD mouse may have as many as 10 susceptibility genes, including its novel IA major histocompatibility complex antigen and a defective interferon-gamma receptor, whereas human IDDM is so far known to be encoded by cis and trans complementation products of certain DQ genes on chromosome 6q, and a gene in the insulin-like growth factor II region on chromosome 11p.
273 8100786 Islet cell antibody negative siblings of IDDM patients appear to have lower than expected abilities to secrete insulin in response to intravenous glucose.
274 8100786 Sera from patients before and/or after developing IDDM immunoprecipitate two native proteins of 64,000- and 38,000-M(r) glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) reacting to conformational epitopes.
275 8100786 It can be induced by as disparate means as tuberculin antigen administration, by interleukin-4 treatments, by transfer of T-cell lines generated in autologous mixed lymphocyte responses, and by immunization to insulin B-chain, whereas oral islet cell antigens, such as insulin, can delay diabetes onset in the NOD mouse.
276 8102088 Progressive disease was found to be associated with the presence in the serum of IgA, IgE, and IgG1 Candida-reactive specific antibodies, absent footpad reactions, and elevated production in vitro of the Th2 cytokines IL-4, IL-6, and IL-10 but not the Th1 cytokine IFN-gamma.
277 8102088 Both the Th2 and Th1 (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) cytokines were produced in vitro by CD4+ lymphocytes from noninfected diabetic mice that, in addition, showed a noticeable footpad reaction to Candida antigens.
278 8105989 Results indicate that 1) cytokine mRNA profiles exhibited by islet-infiltrating cells of female and male NOD mice were quite similar with the exception of IL-6 expression and the marked differences in the levels of IL-2 receptor and IL-1 alpha mRNA, 2) CD4+ T lymphocytes expressed IL-4, presumably IL-5, and occasionally IL-10 mRNA but no detectable IL-2 mRNA, 3) CD8+ T lymphocytes exhibited TNF-beta, perforin and high levels of IFN-gamma, and 4) IL-7 was expressed in the islet at very high levels.
279 8168635 The autoimmune response that leads to destruction of pancreatic islet beta-cells and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has a genetic basis; however, environmental factors can exert profound modulating effects on the genetic predisposition to this autoimmune response.
280 8168635 Thus, recent studies in NOD mice suggest that the islet beta-cell-directed autoimmune response may be mediated by a T-helper 1 (Th1) subset of T-cells producing the cytokines interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma.
281 8168635 These studies also suggest that the diabetes-protective effects of administering microbial agents, adjuvants, and a beta-cell autoantigen (GAD65 [glutamic acid decarboxylase]) may result from activation of a Th2 subset of T-cells that produce the cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 and consequently downregulate the Th1-cell-mediated autoimmune response.
282 8181185 In these studies the effect of IL-10 was determined on three parameters of diabetes: The development of hyperglycemia, the development of insulitis, and the production of insulin by beta cells.
283 8181185 These results indicated that monoclonal anti-IFN-gamma antibody greatly reduced the incidence of hyperglycemia in female NOD mice, while anti-IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 were ineffective.
284 8181185 In subsequent studies, daily subcutaneous administration of IL-10, a known potent inhibitor of IFN-gamma production by TH1 T cells, to 9 and 10-week-old NODs was shown to delay the onset of disease and significantly reduce the incidence of diabetes.
285 8181185 Histopathology performed on pancreatic tissue demonstrated that treatment with IL-10 reduced the severity of insulitis, prevented cellular infiltration of islet cells, and promoted normal insulin production by beta cells.
286 8193539 IRS-1 is a principal substrate of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase.
287 8193539 Interleukin-4 also stimulates IRS-1 phosphorylation, and it is suspected that a few more growth factors or cytokines will be added to form a select group of receptors that utilize the IRS-1 signaling pathway.
288 8315397 Beginning at the time of insulitis (7 wk of age), CD4+ and CD8+ mature thymocytes from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice exhibit a proliferative unresponsiveness in vitro after T cell receptor (TCR) crosslinking.
289 8315397 However, since equivalent levels of IL-3 were secreted by Con A-activated NOD and BALB/c thymocytes, the unresponsiveness of NOD thymic T cells does not appear to be dependent on reduced IL-2 secretion.
290 8315397 Exogenous recombinant (r)IL-2 only partially reverses NOD thymocyte proliferative unresponsiveness to anti-CD3, and this is mediated by the inability of IL-2 to stimulate a complete IL-4 secretion response.
291 8315397 In contrast, exogenous IL-4 reverses the unresponsiveness of both NOD thymic and peripheral T cells completely, and this is associated with the complete restoration of an IL-2 secretion response.

297 8340230 Mononuclear cells obtained from a child at the acute presentation of type I diabetes were stimulated in vitro with human insulin followed by IL-2 and IL-4.
298 8405738 In response to NOD antigen presenting cells, C2 cells secreted interferon-gamma, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 but no detectable interleukin-2, interleukin-4 or interleukin-10, a pattern of cytokine secretion more characteristic of Th1 CD4 cells.
299 8522063 CD45RB(low) CD4+ splenocytes from diabetic NOD mice were transferred along with CD8+ splenocytes from diabetic mice into NOD-scid recipients, and all of the recipients became diabetic within 5 weeks posttransfer.
300 8522063 In contrast, no recipients (0 of 10) of CD45RB(high) CD4+ cells along with CD8+ splenocytes from diabetic mice became diabetic within 5 weeks posttransfer (P < 0.001).
301 8522063 CD45RB(low) CD4+ cells from diabetic mice showed a significantly higher ratio (approximately fivefold) of gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) to interleukin (IL)-4 when compared with CD45RB(low) CD4+ cells from nondiabetic mice (P < 0.001).
302 8558012 IFN-gamma and IL-12p40 mRNA increase with age in both diabetic and insulin-treated nondiabetic BB rats.
303 8558012 In both DP and RT6-depleted DR rats, IFN-gamma mRNA was present in islets before and during disease onset.
304 8558012 IL-2 and IL-4 mRNAs were minimal or undetectable in infiltrated islets but present in activated peripheral T cells.
305 8558012 Similar cytokine mRNA profiles were observed in the thyroids of RT6-depleted DR rats and in the islets of DP rats treated with prophylactic parenteral insulin to prevent diabetes.
306 8558012 We conclude that IFN-gamma and IL-12 may play a major role in the expression of insulitis and thyroiditis in the BB rat, that Th1 lymphocytes may predominate over Th2 lymphocytes in these inflammatory lesions, and that prevention of diabetes by insulin is not associated with an alteration in the cytokine gene profile of islet infiltrating cells.
307 8599837 Transfection of a deletion mutant of the calcineurin catalytic subunit (delta CaM-AI) known to have Ca2+-independent, constitutive phosphatase activity increased IL-4 promoter activity by approximately 14-fold.
308 8617981 We have found that IL-2, IL-4, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma are expressed by the time the fourth dose of STZ is given.
309 8617981 However, expression of IFN-gamma, but not IL-4, was limited to intrapancreatic lymphocytes and was not detectable at extrapancreatic lymphoid sites.
310 8617981 Moreover, mAbs against IFN-gamma, but not against IL-4 or IL-2, prevent hyperglycemia and insulitis in MDSDM, suggesting that IFN-gamma regulates development of disease.
311 8617981 Cells in the pancreases of nondiabetic mice treated with anti-IFN-gamma mAb and STZ show enhanced expression of IL-4, but the prevention of disease is due to blockade of the IFN-gamma itself, and not due to secretion of IL-4, because systemic administration of IL-4 does not prevent MDSDM.

324 8635648 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IL-4, and IL-10 mRNA levels were not significantly different in islet leukocytes from the four groups of rats.
325 8635648 These findings suggest that production of T-helper 1 (Th1)-type cytokines, IFN-gamma and IL-2, by islet-infiltrating cells in BB rats is associated with beta-cell destruction and IDDM development.
326 8635658 Although it might have been predicted that the absence of IFN-gamma in these mice would lead to an increase in expression of Th2 T-helper cell-related cytokines, we found instead a profound decrease in the expression of two of the characteristic Th2 cytokines, interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10.
327 8650265 IRS-signalling proteins are engaged and phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by the receptors for insulin and IGF-1, and various classes of cytokine receptors, including IL-4, IL-9, and IL-13; IFN alpha/beta and IFN gamma; and growth hormone and LIF.

340 8664448 During the early phase of insulitis from 6 to 12 weeks of age, mainly the monokines IL-1 alpha, IL-6, and TNF were detected.
341 8664448 After stimulation, also IFN-gamma and low numbers of IL-10 and GM-CSF producing cells could be observed, but no IL-2 or IL-4 was seen.

348 8671656 Partially purified MLR-IA inhibits IL-2 production in a primary allo-MLR, and decreases IFN-gamma production during secondary allo-MLR and Con A activation, whereas it enhances IL-4 production in both primary and secondary Con A activation.
349 8671656 MLR-IA is not neutralized by combination of antibodies specific for transforming growth factor-beta, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha/beta or IFN-gamma, suggestive of a novel activity.
350 8671656 Our work suggests that a potentially novel immunoregulatory activity, capable of inhibiting T lymphocyte proliferation and IFN-gamma production, and stimulating IL-4 production, may regulate development of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice.

354 8674148 TGF-beta 1, IL-10 and IL-4).
355 8680958 A potential immunoregulatory function has recently been attributed to the discrete subset of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted TCR-alpha beta mature thymocytes expressing an unusual V beta 8-biased T cell receptor repertoire.
356 8680958 This T cell subset which also selectively express the CD44 marker is the main IL-4 producer in the thymus.
357 8680958 Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice were found to have a marked deficit in the number and functional capacity of CD44+ TCR-alpha beta+ thymocytes from as early as 3 weeks of age.
358 8680958 The deficiency in IL-4 production was completely corrected after incubation with interleukin-7 (IL-7), a selective growth factor for CD44+ TCR-alpha beta+ mature thymocytes.

363 8690153 A significantly higher ratio of anti-CD3-induced interferon-gamma/interleukin-4 was found in diabetic NOD mice (P < 0.0001) but not in age-matched nondiabetic NOD mice.
364 8706342 Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) could be a key antigen involved in this disease, and GAD65 peptide 524-543 has been implicated in early T cell response in young NOD mice.
365 8706342 After peptide challenge of splenocytes in vitro, protection against CY-accelerated diabetes was associated with higher peptide-specific production of T helper type 2 (Th2)-associated interleukins 4 and 10, whereas Th1-associated interferon-gamma and IL-2 were proportionally less represented.
366 8706342 It is concluded that immunization of NOD mice with GAD65 peptide 524-543 can counteract CY-accelerated diabetes, possibly through active cellular suppression linked to a shift of Th1/Th2 balance toward the production of Th2 cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-10.
367 8720604 To determine whether cytokines could have a role in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), we measured serum levels of cytokines derived from T helper 1 (interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma), T helper 2 (interleukin-4 and interleukin-10) lymphocytes and macrophages (tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-1 beta) in patients before and after the onset of IDDM.
368 8720604 Recently diagnosed IDDM patients had significantly higher levels of interleukin-2, interferon-gamma, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 alpha than patients with either long-standing IDDM, non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM), Graves' disease, or control subjects (p < 0.05 for all).
369 8720604 Compared with control subjects, patients with long-standing IDDM and those with NIDDM had higher interleukin-2 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha levels (p < 0.01 for all).
370 8720604 Interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 were detectable in sera of patients with Graves' disease only, while interleukin-1 beta was not detectable in the serum of any control or test subject.
371 8720604 To determine whether cytokines could have a role in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), we measured serum levels of cytokines derived from T helper 1 (interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma), T helper 2 (interleukin-4 and interleukin-10) lymphocytes and macrophages (tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-1 beta) in patients before and after the onset of IDDM.
372 8720604 Recently diagnosed IDDM patients had significantly higher levels of interleukin-2, interferon-gamma, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 alpha than patients with either long-standing IDDM, non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM), Graves' disease, or control subjects (p < 0.05 for all).
373 8720604 Compared with control subjects, patients with long-standing IDDM and those with NIDDM had higher interleukin-2 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha levels (p < 0.01 for all).
374 8720604 Interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 were detectable in sera of patients with Graves' disease only, while interleukin-1 beta was not detectable in the serum of any control or test subject.
375 8724841 Th1 cells produce IFN-gamma, which is the most powerful inducer of inducible NO synthase (iNOS).
376 8724841 In contrast, interleukin 4 is produced by Th2 cells and inhibits the induction of iNOS at the level of transcription.
377 8757636 However, reverse-transcription PCR and ELISA measurements of cytokine mRNA and protein levels showed that the GAD65-reactive T cells from both line 5 and line 12 mice produced higher levels of IL-4 and lower levels of IFN-gamma than similar T cells from standard NOD/Lt mice.
378 8760354 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is an autoimmune disease in which cytokines are thought to play an important role in beta-cell destruction and immune regulation.
379 8760354 A major target of beta-cell autoimmunity in IDDM is the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD).
380 8760354 Accordingly we cultured rat islets in the presence and absence of cytokines, and measured synthesis of both isoforms of GAD, GAD65 and GAD67, by [35S]methionine incorporation and immunoprecipitation with a rabbit antiserum that recognizes both GAD65 and GAD67.
381 8760354 Incubation of islets with interleukin (IL)-1 beta (1 ng/ml, 24 h), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha; 200 units/ml, 24 h) or interferon gamma (IFN-gamma; 500 units/ml, 72 h) significantly decreased the synthesis of both GAD65 and GAD67, but reduced neither total protein synthesis nor insulin accumulation in the medium or content.
382 8760354 Incubation of islets for 24 h in IFN-alpha (1000 units/ml), TNF-beta (50 ng/ml), IL 2 (1000 units/ml), IL-4 (100 ng/ml), IL-6 (10 ng/ml), IL-10 (20 ng/ml), IL-12 (10 ng/ml) or transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-beta 2; 5 ng/ml) did not significantly alter GAD65 or GAD67 synthesis.
383 8760354 Inhibition of GAD65 and GAD67 protein synthesis by IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma was reversed by co-incubation with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, NG-monomethyl arginine (NMMA).
384 8760354 Expression of both GAD65 and GAD67 mRNA, measured by RNase protection assay, was also decreased by IL-1 beta and completely restored to baseline levels by NMMA.
385 8760354 Thus the synthesis of both isoforms of islet GAD is selectively decreased in the presence of IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma by a NO-mediated mechanism, probably at the level of cytokine gene transcription.
386 8760354 As GAD autoimmunity has been previously shown to have a pathogenic role in an animal model of IDDM, its inhibition by cytokines might limit the immune response, thereby regulating the rate of beta-cell destruction in IDDM.
387 8777718 Rapid IDDM was associated with increased numbers of anti-self CTL and a predominance of IFN gamma produced by islet-infiltrating lymphocytes, whereas single transgenic RIP-NP littermates with slow-onset IDDM displayed less anti-self CTL and more IL-4- and IL-10-producing T lymphocytes in pancreatic infiltrates.
388 8808683 Functional analyses of T cells isolated from CD28-deficient mice demonstrated that the GAD-specific T cells produced enhanced Th1-type cytokines (IL-2 and IFN gamma) and diminished Th2-type cytokine, IL-4.
389 8816966 Th1 cytokines are thought to play a key role in islet inflammation and destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
390 8816966 In contrast, expression of message for IL-2 and IL-4 is minimal to undetectable in DP-BB and RT6-depleted DR-BB animals at any age.
391 8816966 Incubation of 10 wk old DP islets for 48 h in the presence of anti-CD3 antibody, followed by an incubation with rIL-2 for an additional 5-7 days, results in an expansion of T lymphocytes, and these cells express high levels of IFN-gamma and IL-10 mRNA.
392 8816966 Our results suggest that autoimmunity in DP-BB and DR-BB rats is mediated by Th1 lymphocytes and that IFN-gamma and IL-12 are likely to play a key role in islet and thyroid inflammation and destruction in IDDM.
393 8816968 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse results from effector T cell-mediated autoimmune processes directed against pancreatic beta cells.
394 8816968 The clone was found to produce substantial amounts of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), IL-10, and IFN-gamma, but not IL-2 or IL-4, indicating that this T cell clone is not a member of either the classic Th1 or Th2 cell type.
395 8816968 On the basis of these observations, we suggest that a new type of CD4+ suppressor T cell, NY4.2, by secreting TGF-beta, can prevent effector T cell-mediated beta cell destruction.
396 8816970 Interventional approaches that have been successful in delaying insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) using antigen-based immunotherapies include parenteral immunization.
397 8816970 We have previously shown that immunization with insulin and insulin B chain but not A chain in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) prevented diabetes by reducing IFN-gamma mRNA in the insulitis lesions.
398 8816970 When Diphtheria-Tetanus toxoid-Acellular Pertussis (DTP) vaccine was used as the adjuvant vehicle, DTP itself induced significant protection (P < 0.003) which was associated with a Th2-like cytokine producing insulitis profile, IL-4 driven IgG1 antibody responses to insulin, GAD in the periphery and an augmentation of the autoimmune response to GAD.
399 8816971 Analysis of in vitro production of IFN gamma, IL-2 and IL-4 demonstrated a TH1 and TH0 like functional subset of the individual clones.
400 8823297 Here we report that oral treatment with insulin prevents virus-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in a transgenic (tg) mouse model.
401 8823297 Oral treatment with 1 mg of insulin twice per week for 2 mo starting either 1 wk before or 10 d after initiating LCMV infection prevents IDDM in > 50% of the tg mice (observation time 8 mo).
402 8823297 Thus, insulin therapy is effective in preventing progression to overt IDDM in prediabetic tg mice with ongoing islet infiltration.
403 8823297 However, less beta cells are destroyed in insulin-treated mice, upregulation of MHC class I and II molecules does not occur, and antiviral (self) cytotoxic T lymphocytes are not found in the islets, events present in tg mice developing IDDM.
404 8823297 The majority of lymphocytes in the islets of insulin-treated tg mice without IDDM produces IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-beta.
405 8826970 Both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells in syngeneic islet grafts in NOD mice produce interferon-gamma during beta-cell destruction.
406 8826970 Islet grafts from CFA-injected mice contained fewer CD4+ and CD8+ cells and more B cells; also fewer interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-positive cells and more IL-4 and IL-10 positive cells.
407 8826970 By performing two-color immunostaining of cell surface antigens and intracellular IFN-gamma, we found that IFN-gamma positive cells in islet grafts from CFA- and PBS-injected mice were approximately equally divided between CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets.
408 8826970 Also, the frequencies of both CD4+ IFN-gamma + and CD8+ IFN-gamma + cells were decreased in islet grafts from CFA-injected mice.
409 8826970 These findings suggest that destruction of beta-cells in syngeneic islets transplanted into NOD mice is promoted by cells producing Th1-type cytokines (IFN-gamma, IL-2, and TNF-alpha) and prevented by cells producing TH2-type cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10).
410 8826970 Furthermore, both CD4+ and CD8+ IFN-gamma-producing T-cells in the islet grafts appear to be involved in beta-cell destruction and diabetes recurrence.
411 8826970 Both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells in syngeneic islet grafts in NOD mice produce interferon-gamma during beta-cell destruction.
412 8826970 Islet grafts from CFA-injected mice contained fewer CD4+ and CD8+ cells and more B cells; also fewer interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-positive cells and more IL-4 and IL-10 positive cells.
413 8826970 By performing two-color immunostaining of cell surface antigens and intracellular IFN-gamma, we found that IFN-gamma positive cells in islet grafts from CFA- and PBS-injected mice were approximately equally divided between CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets.
414 8826970 Also, the frequencies of both CD4+ IFN-gamma + and CD8+ IFN-gamma + cells were decreased in islet grafts from CFA-injected mice.
415 8826970 These findings suggest that destruction of beta-cells in syngeneic islets transplanted into NOD mice is promoted by cells producing Th1-type cytokines (IFN-gamma, IL-2, and TNF-alpha) and prevented by cells producing TH2-type cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10).
416 8826970 Furthermore, both CD4+ and CD8+ IFN-gamma-producing T-cells in the islet grafts appear to be involved in beta-cell destruction and diabetes recurrence.

496 8943570 IL-7 reverses NK1+ T cell-defective IL-4 production in the non-obese diabetic mouse.
497 8943570 We recently reported that IL-7 preferentially promotes the in vitro expansion of a discrete MHC class I-dependent lymphocyte subset comprising both CD4+ and CD4-CD8- TCR alpha beta + cells bearing several NK cells markers such NK1.1 and Ly-49.
498 8943570 In the present experiments, the addition of exogenous IL-7 completely restored IL-4 production by anti-TCR alpha beta-stimulated mature (HSA-CD8-) thymocytes in NOD mice.
499 8943570 A short 2 h preincubation with IL-7 was sufficient to restore both the expression of IL-4 mRNA and IL-4 production capacity.
500 8943570 This was related to a direct effect on NK1+ thymocytes since: (i) the effect of IL-7 was restricted to the non-mainstream MEL-14- 3G11- TCR alpha beta + subset which mostly concentrates the IL-4-producing capacity and (ii) IL-7 did not restore IL-4 production in class I-deficient mice which lack the NK1+ T cell subset.

518 8943570 This was related to a direct effect on NK1+ thymocytes since: (i) the effect of IL-7 was restricted to the non-mainstream MEL-14- 3G11- TCR alpha beta + subset which mostly concentrates the IL-4-producing capacity and (ii) IL-7 did not restore IL-4 production in class I-deficient mice which lack the NK1+ T cell subset.
519 8943570 These results were extended in vivo by showing that the IL-7 treatment significantly increased the anti-CD3 triggered IL-4 production by NK1+ T spleen cells.

526 8961238 These shared symptoms include elevated tumour necrosis factor-alpha, down-regulated interleukin-2 and interleukin-4 and depletion of lean body mass.
527 8961238 Furthermore, the following neuropeptides are dysregulated in both anorexia nervosa and cancer cachexia: vasoactive intestinal peptide, cholecystokinin, corticotropin-releasing factor, neuropeptide Y, peptide YY and beta-endorphin.
528 8968689 Dominant TCR alpha-chain clonotypes and interferon-gamma are expressed in the pancreas of patients with recent-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
529 8968689 In order to clarify the nature of T lymphocytes infiltrating the pancreatic islets of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), we analysed T cell receptor (TCR) gene transcripts expressed in pancreatic biopsy specimens of patients with recent-onset IDDM.
530 8968689 We also investigated the expression of cytokines (interferon-gamma: IFN-gamma; tumour necrosis factor-alpha: TNF-alpha; interleukin-4: IL-4; interleukin-6: IL-6) in the same specimens.
531 8968689 IFN-gamma mRNA was highly expressed in the pancreas of IDDM patients, while IL-4 mRNA was deficient.

538 8976172 Aerosol insulin induces regulatory CD8 gamma delta T cells that prevent murine insulin-dependent diabetes.
539 8976172 Insulin is an autoantigen in humans and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
540 8976172 Insulin-treated mice had increased circulating antibodies to insulin, absent splenocyte proliferation to the major epitope, insulin B chain amino acids 9-23, which was associated with increased IL-4 and particularly IL-10 secretion, and reduced proliferation to glutamic acid decarboxylase, another islet autoantigen.
541 8976172 The ability of splenocytes from insulin-treated mice to suppress the adoptive transfer of diabetes to nondiabetic mice by T cells of diabetic mice was shown to be caused by small numbers of CD8 gamma delta T cells.
542 8976172 Induction of regulatory CD8 gamma delta T cells by aerosol insulin is a therapeutic strategy with implications for the prevention of human IDDM.
543 9000700 Cells from IDDM patients (n = 53) produced significantly higher amounts of Th1 cytokines gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) (P = 0.028) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) (P = 0.007) than normal control subjects (n = 56), while Th2 cytokine levels (interleukin [IL]-4, IL-10) were similar.
544 9000700 Antibodies to GAD, ICA512, or insulin did not correlate with individual cytokine profiles.
545 9000700 Conversely, whole blood cultures from patients with Graves' disease (n = 18) produced significantly less TNF-alpha and IL-4 than normal subjects (P = 0.001-0.006).
546 9000700 However, when the balance between Th1 and Th2 cytokine production was analyzed in individuals, the ratio between IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha and IL-4 or IL-10 was clearly biased toward Th1 reactivity in patients with IDDM (P = 0.0001), while a dominance of Th2 cytokine production was seen in Graves' disease (P = 0.0001).

555 9046967 Low doses of oral antigen induce antigen-specific regulatory T-cells in the gut, which act by releasing inhibitory cytokines such as transforming growth factor-beta, interleukin-4, and interleukin-10 at the target organ.
556 9046967 A double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III multi-center trial of oral myelin in 515 relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients is in progress, as are phase II clinical trials investigating the oral administration of type II collagen in rheumatoid arthritis, S-antigen in uveitis, and insulin in type I diabetes.
557 9058834 The tolerogenic properties of 145 2C11 did not depend on its mitogenic capacity, since nonmitogenic F(ab')2 fragments also appeared potent at inducing durable remission in overtly diabetic NOD, although nonmitogenic CD3 F(ab')2 fragments could mediate T cell signaling, as evidenced by cytokine gene transcription (IL-2, IFN-gamma, IL-4, and IL-10) assessed by PCR on splenocytes from treated mice.
558 9064326 To test this hypothesis, we generated transgenic NOD mice that express interleukin (IL) 4 in their pancreatic beta cells under the control of the human insulin promoter.
559 9123210 IL-2 and IL-4 double knock-out mice reject islet allografts: a role for novel T-cell growth factors?
560 9127018 Immunohistochemistry studies show that IL-10/Fc treatment inhibits expression of TNF-alpha, proinflammatory cytokine, as well as Th1-type cytokines, IL-2 and IFN-gamma, but promotes expression of IL-4 and IL-10, Th2-type cytokines, by islet-infiltrating leukocytes.
561 9133541 We now report that the effectiveness of p277 treatment is associated with the transient activation of anti-p277 splenic T-cells that produce the Th2 cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-10.
562 9184917 Production of both IFN-gamma and IL-5 by Onchocerca volvulus S1 antigen-specific CD4+ T cells from putatively immune individuals.
563 9184917 These clones, which are the first generated against a recombinant fllarial antigen, produced both IFN-gamma and IL-5 as well as little IL-4, suggestive of a Th0-like phenotype.
564 9184917 Induction of both IFN-gamma and IL-5 by S1 suggests that it may trigger macrophage plus eosinophil dependent killing of L3 in vivo.
565 9185876 The cell recruitment phase, between 6 and 12 weeks of age, is predominated by production of the monokines IL-1alpha, IL-6, and TNF After stimulation IFN-gamma and occasional IL-10 and GM-CSF producing cells could also be observed.
566 9185876 During the effector phase, between 4 and 6 months, there is a characteristic Th1 cytokine profile with lymphocytes producing IL-2, IFN-gamma and TNF, supposedly TNF-beta.
567 9185876 No IL-4 production could be detected and IL-10 was very rarely found, indicating the absence of a Th2 response.
568 9200487 Measurement of the macrophage-derived cytokines IL-12, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta revealed a selective increase of their expression, after KRV infection, in the splenic lymphocytes and the pancreatic islets.
569 9200487 Measurement of CD4+ T cell-derived cytokines revealed that IL-2 and IFN-gamma cytokine gene expression closely correlates with an elevation of IL-12, but IL-4 and IL-10 do not change.
570 9207862 At doses approximating those achieved in vivo (0.4 and 2 micrograms/ml), dapsone was found to inhibit murine splenocyte IL-2 and IL-4 secretion in response to concanavalin A.
571 9218751 Systemic production of interferon-gamma inducing factor (IGIF) versus local IFN-gamma expression involved in the development of Th1 insulitis in NOD mice.
572 9218751 We report that the onset of Th1 insulitis is preceded by a rise of interferon-gamma inducing factor (IGIF) mRNA expression in the spleen.
573 9218751 Interestingly, immunohistochemistry showed IL-4-positive cells evenly dispersed throughout the infiltrate, while IFN-gamma-positive cells were restricted to the vicinity of beta-cells.
574 9218754 BCG vaccination prevents insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in NOD mice after disease acceleration with cyclophosphamide.
575 9218754 We have previously shown that immunotherapy with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) or BCG is highly effective in the prevention of spontaneous insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and in circumventing the rejection of syngeneic islet grafts in diabetic NOD mice.
576 9218754 The comprehensive effect of BCG vaccination on cytokine production in Cy-treated mice was to increase IL-4 production and change the IL-4/IFN-gamma ratio in both serum and supernatant of spleen cell cultures.
577 9218754 We found that BCG-induced protection was associated with increased splenic CD4+CD45 RB(high) T cells.
578 9221759 Autoimmune diabetes is caused by the CD4(+), T helper 1 (Th1) cell-mediated apoptosis of insulin-producing beta cells.
579 9221759 Moreover, the Th2-mediated destruction of islet cells was mediated by local interleukin-10 (IL-10) production but not by IL-4.
580 9237797 When those cells were cultured and restimulated in vitro with the B-chain of insulin, we also observed a decrease in IFN-gamma expression and an increase in IL-4, TGF-beta and IL-10 expression.
581 9267984 Potentiation of the effect of oral insulin by the adjuvant was associated with upregulation of interleukin (IL)-4 Th2 cells in infiltrated islets and sustained local IL-2 gene expression.
582 9267984 RT PCR analyses of cytokine expression in the gut showed a clear deviation to Th2 type reactivity and downregulation of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) expression by the bacterial adjuvant but not by oral insulin alone.
583 9298104 Analysis of cytokine production revealed lower interferon-gamma production in the LC-treated group compared to the control group, while the interleukin (IL)-2 production was higher.
584 9298104 The levels of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6 and IL-10 in the LC-treated group were somewhat higher than in the control group.
585 9336387 Increasing evidence suggests that cytokines such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1), IL-4, and IL-8 may play an important role in the chronic inflammation and cellular growth observed in cardiovascular diseases.
586 9336387 Furthermore, earlier studies have shown that vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth factors such as angiotensin II and platelet-derived growth factor can increase LO activity and expression in VSMCs.
587 9336387 In the present study, we have examined whether vasoactive and inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-4, and IL-8 can modulate 12-LO activity and expression in porcine VSMCs and also whether they have growth-promoting effects in these cells.

628 9379064 Here, we investigate the role of CD40 ligand (CD40L)-CD40 costimulation in the initiation and progression of this disease.
629 9379064 Cytokine analysis revealed a dramatic decrease in IFN-gamma and IL-2 release without a concomitant increase in IL-4 production by T cells from anti-CD40L-treated mice.
630 9381527 Interleukin-4 or interleukin-10 expressed from adenovirus-transduced syngeneic islet grafts fails to prevent beta cell destruction in diabetic NOD mice.
631 9392483 Quite unexpectedly, two GAD65-derived peptides near the COOH-terminus (p34 and p35) accelerated diabetes onset.
632 9392483 Protection mediated by intrathymic administration with either intact islet cells or GAD65 were correlated with an upregulation of mRNA for T-helper 2 (Th2)-associated cytokines (interleukin [IL]-4, IL-10), concomitant with downregulation of Th1-associated interferon (IFN) transcripts (all normalized to T-cell receptor Cbeta transcripts) in islet-infiltrating lymphocytes.
633 9392483 Protection mediated by the intrathymic administration of insulin B chain, however, correlated only with a modest upregulation of IL-4 and IL-10 transcript levels, and no diminution in IFN-gamma transcripts.

639 9410902 Neonatal activation of CD28 signaling overcomes T cell anergy and prevents autoimmune diabetes by an IL-4-dependent mechanism.
640 9410902 Previously, we showed that T cells from autoimmune nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice display proliferative hyporesponsiveness to TCR stimulation, which may be causal to the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
641 9410902 Whereas neonatal treatment of NOD mice with anti-CD28 beginning at 2 wk of age inhibits destructive insulitis and protects against IDDM by enhancement of IL-4 production by islet-infiltrating T cells, administration of anti-CD28 beginning at 5-6 wk of age does not prevent IDDM.
642 9410902 Thus, neonatal CD28 costimulation during 2-4 wk of age is required to prevent IDDM, and is mediated by the generation of a Th2 cell-enriched nondestructive environment in the pancreatic islets of treated NOD mice.
643 9410902 Our data support the hypothesis that a CD28 signal is requisite for activation of IL-4-producing cells and protection from IDDM.

654 9416430 The ability of splenocytes to proliferate, respond to, or secrete interleukin-2 and interleukin-4 was explored in young, pre-diabetic or old non-diabetic female NOD mice.
655 9416430 These results suggest that diabetes induction is preceded by V beta + subset-specific functional changes in the ability of various T cells to respond to or secrete interleukin-2 and interleukin-4, indicating a functional imbalance of the T-cell repertoire expanded by the autoimmune process.

658 9419441 We therefore tested the hypothesis that stimulation of a Th2 response by either IL-4 or CD28 costimulation may block progression to IDDM.
659 9421372 Protection against autoimmune diabetes with oral insulin is associated with the presence of IL-4 type 2 T-cells in the pancreas and pancreatic lymph nodes.
660 9421372 In the present study, immunohistochemical analysis of the pancreatic glands revealed that injection of T-cells from insulin-fed mice upregulated the number of interleukin (IL)-4-secreting cells within the islets.
661 9421372 Using two strains of NOD mice congenic at the Tbeta, or Thy1, locus, we observed a higher proportion of T-cells from insulin-fed mice in both the spleen (7.73 +/- 0.3 vs. 5.57 +/- 0.2%; P < 0.001) and the pancreatic lymph nodes (10.1 +/- 0.8 vs. 7.2 +/- 0.7%; P < 0.05) of cotransferred mice.
662 9421372 By reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, mice reconstituted with T-cells from insulin-fed animals had detectable amounts of IL-4 mRNA, specifically in the pancreatic lymph nodes (8 of 9 experimental mice vs. 1 of 9 control mice) and the pancreas (3 of 3 experimental mice vs. 0 of 3 control mice).
663 9421372 Gamma-interferon mRNA was detectable in all cotransferred animals, but IL-10 mRNA and transforming growth factor beta mRNA were undetectable.
664 9421372 We concluded that oral administration of insulin can induce the presence of regulatory T-cells in the pancreas and the corresponding draining lymph nodes, initiate the secretion of IL-4 in this microenvironment sufficiently to suppress the activity of Th1 autoreactive T-cell clones, and ultimately provide protection against autoimmune diabetes.

683 9421403 Reverse transcription-PCR on pancreatic tissue revealed significantly lower levels of interferon-gamma and higher levels of interleukin-4 in the combination group.
684 9421467 GAD-reactive CD4+ Th1 cells induce diabetes in NOD/SCID mice.
685 9421467 Although glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) has been implicated in IDDM, there is no direct evidence showing GAD-reactive T cells are diabetogenic in vivo.
686 9421467 Splenocytes from this mouse showed a proliferative response to purified GAD, and were used to generate a CD4+ T cell line, designated 5A, that expresses TCRs encoding Vbeta2 and Vbeta12. 5A T cells exhibit a MHC restricted proliferative response to purified GAD, as well as GAD65 peptide 524-543.
687 9421467 After antigen-specific stimulation, 5A T cells secrete IFNgamma and TNFalpha/beta, but not IL-4.
688 9421467 We conclude that GAD injection in young NOD mice may, in some cases, provoke diabetes due to the activation of diabetogenic T cells reactive to GAD65 peptides.
689 9421467 Our data provide direct evidence that GAD65 autoimmunity may be a critical event in the pathogenesis of IDDM.
690 9427742 Mice that express influenza hemagglutinin under control of the rat insulin promoter (INS-HA) as well as a class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted HA-specific transgenic TCR (TCR-HA), develop early insulitis with huge infiltrates, but progress late and irregularly to diabetes.
691 9427742 Inside the pancreas, the antigen-specific cells do not initially attack the islet cells, and produce some IFN-gamma as well as IL-10 and IL-4.
692 9427742 Spontaneous progression to diabetes, which can be accelerated by cyclophosphamide injection, is accompanied by a 10-fold increase in IFN-gamma and a 3-fold decrease in IL-10 and IL-4 production by the locally residing antigen-specific T cells.

696 9428763 Type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM) is a disease controlled by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) which results from T-cell-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta-cells.
697 9428763 All 56 Valpha24JalphaQ+ clones isolated from the diabetic twins/triplets secreted only interferon (IFN)-gamma upon stimulation; in contrast, 76 of 79 clones from the at-risk non-progressors and normals secreted both interleukin (IL)-4 and IFN-gamma.
698 9428763 Half of the at-risk non-progressors had high serum levels of IL-4 and IFN-gamma.
699 9428763 These results support a model for IDDM in which Thl-cell-mediated tissue damage is initially regulated by Valpha24JalphaQ+ T cells producing both cytokines; the loss of their capacity to secrete IL-4 is correlated with IDDM.

720 9432975 Continuous antigenic stimulation in vivo can result in the generation of so-called "anergic" CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells that fail to proliferate upon antigenic stimulation and fail to develop cytolytic effector functions.
721 9432975 Furthermore, HA-specific T cells anergized in vivo contain higher levels of interleukin (IL)-4 messenger RNA (mRNA) than naive and recently activated T cells with the same specificity and more than a 100-fold higher levels of IL-10 mRNA.
722 9451599 In order to study cytokine production profile (IFN-gamma, IL-4 and TNF-alpha) and TCRBV-gene usage of peripheral autoreactive T cells from IDDM patients, we have generated antigen-specific T cell lines with either tetanus toxoid, insulinoma membranes or a single beta-cell protein, recombinant ICA69, which has been shown to be a target of both autoantibodies and T cells in IDDM.
723 9451599 T cell responses against beta-cell antigens and tetanus toxoid (TT) were shown to be associated with IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha production, suggestive of a Th1-like phenotype of the T-cell lines.
724 9473384 By measuring the cytokine production of splenic T cells after stimulation, it was shown that CD45RBlowCD4+ T cells predominantly produced IL-4 and IL-10 but produced less IL-2 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma).
725 9473384 A semiquantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay revealed a higher expression of IL-4 and IL-10 mRNA and an apparent decrease in IFN-gamma mRNA in the islets of NOD mice which were administered rIL-4.
726 9473384 By measuring the cytokine production of splenic T cells after stimulation, it was shown that CD45RBlowCD4+ T cells predominantly produced IL-4 and IL-10 but produced less IL-2 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma).

728 9480725 Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice spontaneously develop insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) caused by T cells which destroy the insulin-producing islet beta-cells.
729 9480725 Since cytokines are involved in this auto-immune beta-cell damage, we used an ELISPOT assay to enumerate the islet-associated T cells that secreted interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) or interleukin-4 (IL-4).
730 9480725 We found that NOD females, more susceptible than males to IDDM, accumulated islet IFN-gamma producers more rapidly with age than did the males.
731 9480725 Acceleration of male IDDM by cyclophosphamide led to a marked increase in IFN-gamma secreting islet T cells.
732 9520451 This shift in CD45 isoform expression from CD45RBHi to CD45RBLo was associated with an increase in the intragraft expression of transcripts for interleukin (IL) 4 and IL-10, consistent with the expected activity of this distinct immunoregulatory T cell subset.
733 9529321 alpha/beta-T cell receptor (TCR)+CD4-CD8- (NKT) thymocytes prevent insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in nonobese diabetic (NOD)/Lt mice by the influence of interleukin (IL)-4 and/or IL-10.
734 9529321 We have previously shown that nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice are selectively deficient in alpha/beta-T cell receptor (TCR)+CD4-CD8- NKT cells, a defect that may contribute to their susceptibility to the spontaneous development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
735 9529321 A single intravenous injection of 10(6) CD4-/lowCD8- or CD4-CD8- thymocytes from female (BALB/c x NOD)F1 donors protected intact NOD mice from the spontaneous onset of clinical IDDM.
736 9529321 When alpha/beta-TCR+ and alpha/beta-TCR- subsets of CD4-CD8- thymocytes were transferred with diabetogenic splenocytes and compared for their ability to prevent the development of IDDM in irradiated adult recipients, only the alpha/beta-TCR+ population was protective, confirming that NKT cells were responsible for this activity.
737 9529321 The protective effect in the induced model of IDDM was neutralized by anti-IL-4 and anti-IL-10 monoclonal antibodies in vivo, indicating a role for at least one of these cytokines in NKT cell-mediated protection.
738 9529321 alpha/beta-T cell receptor (TCR)+CD4-CD8- (NKT) thymocytes prevent insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in nonobese diabetic (NOD)/Lt mice by the influence of interleukin (IL)-4 and/or IL-10.
739 9529321 We have previously shown that nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice are selectively deficient in alpha/beta-T cell receptor (TCR)+CD4-CD8- NKT cells, a defect that may contribute to their susceptibility to the spontaneous development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
740 9529321 A single intravenous injection of 10(6) CD4-/lowCD8- or CD4-CD8- thymocytes from female (BALB/c x NOD)F1 donors protected intact NOD mice from the spontaneous onset of clinical IDDM.
741 9529321 When alpha/beta-TCR+ and alpha/beta-TCR- subsets of CD4-CD8- thymocytes were transferred with diabetogenic splenocytes and compared for their ability to prevent the development of IDDM in irradiated adult recipients, only the alpha/beta-TCR+ population was protective, confirming that NKT cells were responsible for this activity.
742 9529321 The protective effect in the induced model of IDDM was neutralized by anti-IL-4 and anti-IL-10 monoclonal antibodies in vivo, indicating a role for at least one of these cytokines in NKT cell-mediated protection.
743 9550435 Islet grafts and spleens from TNF-alpha-treated mice at 10 days after islet transplantation contained significantly fewer CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and significantly decreased mRNA levels of type 1 cytokines (IFN-gamma, IL-2, and TNF-beta) than islet grafts and spleens from control mice.
744 9550435 Regarding type 2 cytokines, IL-4 mRNA levels were not changed significantly in islet grafts or spleens of TNF-alpha-treated mice, whereas IL-10 mRNA levels were decreased significantly in islet grafts of TNF-alpha-treated mice and not significantly changed in spleens.
745 9550435 TGF-beta mRNA levels in islet grafts and spleens were similar in TNF-alpha-treated and control mice.
746 9550435 These results suggest that TNF-alpha partially protects beta cells in syngeneic islet grafts from recurrent autoimmune destruction by reducing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and down-regulating type 1 cytokines, both systemically and locally in the islet graft.
747 9568689 Inhibition of IL-12 and IFN-gamma secretion was demonstrated in macrophages activated with lipopolysaccharide or T-cells stimulated through the CD3/T-cell receptor complex, respectively.
748 9568689 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha was also inhibited, but IL-4 was less sensitive to suppression.
749 9576014 Oral administration of insulin to NOD mice suppresses or delays the onset of diabetes by skewing the response toward CD4+ Th2 cells and TGF-beta producing cells.
750 9576014 When cytokine profiles were examined, feeding led to a predominance of IL-10 and TGF-beta production.
751 9576014 Furthermore, feeding SEA in combination with insulin B-chain augmented the level of IL-10 production to insulin.
752 9576014 T-cell lines established from SEA-fed and -immunized mice secreted IL-4 and IL-10 cytokines whereas the T-cell lines from control-fed mice immunized with SEA secreted predominantly IL-2 and IFN-gamma.
753 9576014 These results demonstrate that orally administered insulin can induce regulatory T-cells secreting IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-beta and that Th2 responses to oral insulin could be augmented in a synergistic way by feeding SEA and insulin B-chain together.
754 9576014 Oral administration of insulin to NOD mice suppresses or delays the onset of diabetes by skewing the response toward CD4+ Th2 cells and TGF-beta producing cells.

759 9608925 By altering the TNF and IL-1 cytokines, leukocytic activation can be controlled.
760 9608925 Other cytokines (IL-4, IL-10) have an immunosuppressive action and reduce the formation of TF.
761 9616216 Long-term survival of skin allografts induced by donor splenocytes and anti-CD154 antibody in thymectomized mice requires CD4(+) T cells, interferon-gamma, and CTLA4.
762 9616216 (c) Induction of skin allograft acceptance initially depended on the presence of IFN-gamma, CTLA4, and CD4(+) T cells.
763 9616216 Addition of anti-CTLA4 or anti-IFN-gamma mAb to the protocol was associated with prompt graft rejection, whereas anti-IL-4 mAb had no effect.
764 9619488 CD4+ T cells may be assigned a functional status (Th1 or Th2) according to the cytokines they produce including IL-2, IFN-gamma and IL-4.
765 9630837 Most importantly, treatment induced higher IFN-gamma/IL-4 ratios among CD4 T cells, suggesting a strong shift toward Th1 development, perhaps through direct effects on patterns of gene expression in CD4 T cells.
766 9679667 Correlation studies between cytokines expressed in islets and autoimmune diabetes development in NOD mice and BB rats have demonstrated that beta-cell destructive insulitis is associated with increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, TNF alpha, and IFN alpha) and type 1 cytokines (IFN gamma, TNF beta, IL-2 and IL-12), whereas non-destructive (benign) insulitis is associated with increased expression of type 2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10) and the type 3 cytokine (TGF beta).
767 9679667 Cytokines (IL-1, TNF alpha, TNF beta and IFN gamma) may be directly cytotoxic to beta-cells by inducing nitric oxide and oxygen free radicals in the beta-cells.
768 9679667 In addition, cytokines may sensitize beta-cells to T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity in vivo by upregulating MHC class I expression on the beta-cells (an action of IFN gamma), and inducing Fas (CD95) expression on beta-cells (actions of IL-1, and possibly TNF alpha and IFN gamma).
769 9679667 Transgenic expression of cytokines in beta-cells of non-diabetes-prone mice and NOD mice has suggested pathogenic roles for IFN alpha, IFN gamma, IL-2 and IL-10 in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) development, and protective roles for IL-4, IL-6 and TNF alpha.
770 9679667 Islet-reactive CD4+ T-cell lines and clones that adoptively transfer IDDM into young NOD mice have a Th1 phenotype (IFN gamma-producing), but other islet-specific Th1 clones that produce TGF beta can adoptively transfer protection against IDDM in NOD mice.
771 9679667 NOD mice with targeted deletions of IL-12 and IFN gamma genes still develop IDDM, albeit delayed and slightly less often.
772 9679667 In contrast, post-natal deletions of IL-12 and IFN gamma, also IL-1, TNF alpha, IL-2, and IL-6--by systemic administrations of neutralizing antibodies, soluble receptors and receptor antagonists, and receptor-targeted cytotoxic drugs--significantly decrease IDDM incidence in NOD mice and/or BB rats.
773 9679667 These cytokine deletion studies have provided the best evidence for pathologic roles for proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, TNF alpha, and IL-6) and type 1 cytokines (IFN gamma, IL-2 and IL-12) in IDDM development.

782 9699087 Determination of mRNA expression for IFN-gamma and IL-4 in lymphocytes from children with IDDM by RT-PCR technique.
783 9699087 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is characterized by infiltration of T-lymphocytes in the islets of Langerhans.
784 9699087 Antigens are presented to Th-lymphocytes which can be divided into Th1- and Th2-lymphocytes, producing interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) respectively.
785 9699087 The expression of mRNA for IL-4, and to a lesser degree IFN-gamma, is increased in lymphocytes stimulated with tetanus toxoid (TT).
786 9699087 In a pilot application, the lymphocytes from children with newly diagnosed IDDM were stimulated with a peptide of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) (a.a. 247-279) known to have a similar aminoacid sequence as the Coxsackie B virus (a.a. 32-47).
787 9699087 Increased IFN-gamma mRNA could be seen in two out of four children, whereas IL-4 showed a less pronounced mRNA expression.
788 9699087 No increased mRNA expression for IFN-gamma and IL-4 could be seen in healthy HLA-matched controls.
789 9699087 Further studies are needed to confirm whether increased IFN-gamma mRNA in Th1-like lymphocytes stimulated with this specific GAD-peptide play a role in the cell-mediated immune response seen in children early after the onset of IDDM.

822 9712353 Pancreatic islet beta cell destruction leading to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is believed to be mediated by a T-helper 1 (T(H)1) lymphocyte response to islet antigens.
823 9712353 In the mouse, T(H)1 (IL-2, IFN-gamma) and T(H)2 (IL-4, -5, -6, -10) responses are associated with the generation of IgG2a and IgG1 subclasses, respectively.
824 9712353 Because the IgG subclass response to an antigen may be a potentially useful marker of T(H)1/T(H)2 immune balance we measured IgG subclass antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), a major islet autoantigen in IDDM, in 34 newly-diagnosed IDDM patients and in 28 at-risk, first-degree relatives of people with IDDM.
825 9719467 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a disease that results from autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans.
826 9719467 Type 1 cytokines--interleukin 2 (IL-2), interferon gamma (IFNgamma), and tumor necrosis factor beta (TNFbeta), dominate over an immunoregulatory (suppressor) Th2 subset of T cells and their cytokine products, i.e.
827 9719467 Type 2 cytokines--IL-4 and IL-10.
828 9719467 Type 1 cytokines activate (1) cytotoxic T cells that interact specifically with beta-cells and destroy them, and (2) macrophages to produce proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1 and TNFalpha), and oxygen and nitrogen free radicals that are highly toxic to islet beta-cells.
829 9719467 Furthermore, the cytokines IL-1, TNFalpha, and IFNgamma are cytotoxic to beta-cells, in large part by inducing the formation of oxygen free radicals, nitric oxide, and peroxynitrite in the beta-cells themselves.
830 9725204 Autoimmunity without diabetes in transgenic mice expressing beta cell-specific CD86, but not CD80: parameters that trigger progression to diabetes.
831 9725204 To define more clearly the roles of CD80 (RIP-CD80) and CD86 (RIP-CD86) in the activation of autoreactive T cells in vivo, we generated transgenic mice expressing either or both costimulatory molecules on the beta cells of the pancreas.
832 9725204 While RIP-CD80 mice do not show any sign of autoimmunity, at the age of 7 mo RIP-CD86 transgenic mice develop a lymphoid infiltrate with both IFN-gamma- and IL-4-positive cells in the vicinity of the islets; these mice, however, never progress to diabetes.
833 9725204 This fundamental difference in the ability of CD80 and CD86 to activate self-reactive T cells in vivo is, however, obliterated when the level of TCR signaling is increased by either TNF-alpha or transgenic MHC class II expression.
834 9725204 These results support the suggestion that CD80 and CD86 mainly differ at the level of the intensity of the signals they deliver.
835 9726227 This clearly demonstrates that transient inactivation of most T-cells with anti-CD4 plus anti-CD8 mAbs effectively controls autoimmune disease in the isograft, despite recovery of CD4 and CD8 T-cells to normal levels.
836 9726227 Histology showed a predominantly peri-islet T-cell and macrophage infiltrate with ductal expression of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-4, IL-2, and interferon-gamma.
837 9753294 Susceptibility to the human autoimmune disease IDDM is strongly associated with those haplotypes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) carrying DQB1 alleles that do not encode aspartic acid at codon 57.
838 9753294 This inhibition was partially reversed by treatment of the recipients with a combination of anti-interleukin (IL)-4 and anti-IL-10 monoclonal antibodies.
839 9753294 Thus, a transgenic class II MHC allele encoding aspartic acid at B57 prevents diabetes, in part, by promoting the production of IL-4 and IL-10, which interfere with the effector phase of the diabetic process.

860 9776711 Glutamic acid decarboxylase autoimmunity was investigated by immunizing female BALB/c, C57B1/6, National Marine Research Institute (NMRI) and non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice once or twice with glumatic acid decarboxylase, GAD65, bovine serum albumin, or phosphate-buffered saline in incomplete Freunds adjuvant, or not treating.
861 9776711 Mice immunized with GAD65, showed splinic T-cell reactivity to GAD 65 in vitro assessed by cytokine secretion.
862 9776711 IL-4 and IL-10 were only detected after two immunizations with higher levels in BALB/c, NMRI and NOD mice, compared to C57B1/6 mice.
863 9776711 In NOD mice, peri-insulitis was detected in all groups, but less so in GAD65 and bovine serum albumin (BSA) immunized animals.
864 9780163 In pCMV-TGF-beta1-treated mice, pancreatic IL-12 and IFN-gamma mRNA expression was depressed, and the ratio of IFN-gamma to IL-4 mRNA was decreased, as determined by semiquantitative reverse-transcription PCR.

875 9840449 Peptide from glutamic acid decarboxylase similar to coxsackie B virus stimulates IFN-gamma mRNA expression in Th1-like lymphocytes from children with recent-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
876 9840449 CD4+ or Th-lymphocytes will be activated after stimulation resulting in interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production by Th1-like lymphocytes and/or interleukin-4 (IL-4) secretion from Th2-like lymphocytes.
877 9840449 In this study we have shown that this peptide activates Th1-like lymphocytes which produce increased amounts of IFN-gamma mRNA, but seldom mRNA for IL-4.
878 9840449 In conclusion, we suggest that GAD65 is involved in the development of type 1 diabetes and that the Th1-response may play a role in the destruction of beta cells.

883 9878081 Since autoimmune responses to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) are up-regulated in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), in this study GAD67-specific antibody, T cell proliferation and lymphokine production patterns were analysed in the adjuvant-treated mice to characterize the regulatory mechanisms underlying the protection.
884 9878081 Upon in vitro stimulation with GAD67, draining lymph node and spleen cells from CFA-immunized NOD mice or syngeneic islet-grafted and BCG-protected NOD mice produced much more IL-4, whereas there was no significant change in IFN-gamma production.
885 9878085 Therefore, we examined the peak levels, secretory pattern and total cytokine production (calculated as the area under the curve, AUC) of the Th1 cytokines, IL-2 and IFN-gamma, and Th2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-10, from stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells, from 17 IDDM patients and 24 normal controls.
886 9878085 This resulted in significant differences in secretory patterns of IFN-gammaIL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 between the two groups; P<0.001, P<0.005, P<0.005 and P<0.001, respectively.
887 9878085 No correlation was found in the diabetic patients between any profiles of the cytokines and their various clinical parameters, including age, gender, disease duration, insulin requirements or glycated hemoglobin levels.

891 9892610 Regulatory T cells in the control of autoimmunity: the essential role of transforming growth factor beta and interleukin 4 in the prevention of autoimmune thyroiditis in rats by peripheral CD4(+)CD45RC- cells and CD4(+)CD8(-) thymocytes.
892 9892610 Previous studies have shown that induction of autoimmune diabetes by adult thymectomy and split dose irradiation of PVG.RT1(u) rats can be prevented by their reconstitution with peripheral CD4(+)CD45RC-TCR-alpha/beta+RT6(+) cells and CD4(+)CD8(-) thymocytes from normal syngeneic donors.
893 9892610 RT1(u) rats, development of thyroiditis was prevented by the transfer of CD4(+)CD45RC- and CD4(+)CD8(-) thymocytes from normal donors but not by CD4(+)CD45RC+ peripheral T cells.
894 9892610 We now show that transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and interleukin (IL)-4 both play essential roles in the mechanism of this protection since administration of monoclonal antibodies that block the biological activity of either of these cytokines abrogates the protective effect of the donor cells in the recipient rats.
895 9892610 The prevention of both diabetes and thyroiditis by CD4(+)CD45RC- peripheral cells and CD4(+)CD8(-) thymocytes therefore does not support the view that the mechanism of regulation involves a switch from a T helper cell type 1 (Th1) to a Th2-like response, but rather relies upon a specific suppression of the autoimmune responses involving TGF-beta and IL-4.

907 9933449 Here, we investigate whether the M. avium-induced protection of NOD mice from diabetes was associated with changes in the expression of Fas (CD95) and FasL by immune cells, as well as alterations in cytotoxic activity, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and IL-4 production and activation of T cells of infected animals.
908 10047431 Both CD4(+)and CD8(+)T cells are required for IFN-gamma gene expression in pancreatic islets and autoimmune diabetes development in biobreeding rats.
909 10047431 To study the relative roles of CD4(+)and CD8(+)T cells and their cytokine products in autoimmune diabetes development, we selectively depleted CD4(+)and CD8(+)T cells in autoimmune diabetes-prone (DP) biobreeding (BB) rats, by administrations of anti-CD2 and anti-CD8 monoclonal antibody (mAb) respectively.
910 10047431 Depletion of CD4(+)T cells (by anti-CD2 mAb) in blood, spleen and islets prevented diabetes development in DP-BB rats, and depletion of CD8(+)T cells (by anti-CD8 mAb) delayed and significantly decreased diabetes incidence.
911 10047431 Depletion of either CD4(+)or CD8(+)T cells completely prevented IFN-gamma mRNA upregulation in islets of DP-BB rats above the low level expressed in islets of diabetes-resistant (DR) BB rats.
912 10047431 Also, IL-10 mRNA levels in islets of DP-BB rats were significantly decreased by depletion of either CD4(+)or CD8(+)T cells, whereas the effects of the anti-T cell mAb on mRNA levels of other cytokines in islets (IL-2, IL-4, IL-12p40, and TNF-alpha) were discordant.
913 10047431 In contrast, both mAb treatments significantly upregulated IL-4 and TNF-alpha mRNA levels in spleens of DP-BB rats.
914 10047431 These results demonstrate that islet infiltration by both CD4(+)and CD8(+)T cells is required for IFN-gamma and IL-10 production in islets and beta-cell destruction.

928 10047431 Also, IL-10 mRNA levels in islets of DP-BB rats were significantly decreased by depletion of either CD4(+)or CD8(+)T cells, whereas the effects of the anti-T cell mAb on mRNA levels of other cytokines in islets (IL-2, IL-4, IL-12p40, and TNF-alpha) were discordant.
929 10047431 In contrast, both mAb treatments significantly upregulated IL-4 and TNF-alpha mRNA levels in spleens of DP-BB rats.
930 10047431 These results demonstrate that islet infiltration by both CD4(+)and CD8(+)T cells is required for IFN-gamma and IL-10 production in islets and beta-cell destruction.
931 10047431 Depletion of either CD4(+)or CD8(+)T cells may prevent beta-cell destruction by decreasing IFN-gamma and IL-10 production in islets and increasing IL-4 and TNF-alpha production systemically.
932 10049952 Development of disease can be prevented by reconstitution of PVG rats shortly after their final irradiation with either peripheral CD4(+)CD45RC- T cells or CD4(+)CD8(-) thymocytes from syngeneic donors.
933 10049952 Although the activity of both populations is known to depend on the activities of endogenously produced interleukin 4 and transforming growth factor beta, implying a common mechanism, the issue of antigen specificity of the cells involved has not yet been addressed.
934 10049952 Significantly, in contrast to the peripheral CD4(+) T cells, CD4(+)CD8(-) thymocytes from 131I-treated PVG donors were still able to prevent thyroiditis upon adoptive transfer.
935 10066341 Secretion of IL-4 was dramatically reduced; however, secretion of IL-2 or IFN-gamma was not significantly inhibited.
936 10066341 Levels of mRNA encoding IFN-gamma were similar, but the appearance was delayed in thymocytes derived from STZ-treated mice, implying differential regulation of IL-4 and IFN-gamma.
937 10066341 Defective thymocyte proliferation was partially restored by exposure to IL-2 in vitro; however, IL-4 completely reversed the STZ-induced defect.
938 10066341 Secretion of IL-4 was dramatically reduced; however, secretion of IL-2 or IFN-gamma was not significantly inhibited.

944 10076185 Moreover it significantly decreased MHC class II expression (but not class I) in vivo by week 10, and significantly enhanced intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression, mainly by week 25, within the pancreas, where 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine positive nuclei and insulin positive cells were present, demonstrating that a stimulation of endocrine cell proliferation occurs. (3) In addition, NIC partly counteracted the fall of superoxide dismutase levels, observed in untreated diabetic NOD animals. (4) In vitro studies demonstrated that NIC: (i) was able to significantly reduce nitrite accumulation and to increase NAD+NADH content significantly, and (ii) was able to increase the levels of interleukin-4, a T helper 2 lymphocyte (Th2) protective cytokine, and of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), which is known to be able to induce MHC class I and ICAM-1 but not MHC class II expression, as well as IFN-gamma, which is also known to be able to induce MHC class I and ICAM-1 expression.
945 10193314 We used reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative PCR techniques to examine mRNA expression of interferon (IFN)-gamma (Th1 type cytokine), and interleukin (IL)-4 (Th2 type cytokine) in splenic cells.
946 10193314 We observed that in Reo-2 infected mice the level of IFN-gamma expression increases with the development of insulitis, whereas expression of message for IL-4 is minimal to detectable with the immuno-inflammatory process 10 days after infection.
947 10193314 Furthermore altered CD4+/CD8+ cell ratio compared with uninfected mice in the splenic cells by the infection was recovered to the ratio of uninfected mice by the treatment of mAb against mouse IFN-gamma, suggesting normalization of T cell balance in immune system.

951 10201899 p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase mediates signal integration of TCR/CD28 costimulation in primary murine T cells.
952 10201899 In contrast to that reported for human Jurkat T cells, we found that p38 MAPK, but not Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), is weakly activated upon stimulation with either anti-CD3 or anti-CD28 in murine thymocytes and splenic T cells.
953 10201899 However, p38 MAPK is activated strongly and synergistically by either CD3/CD28 coligation or PMA/Ca2+ ionophore stimulation, which mimics TCR-CD3/CD28-mediated signaling.
954 10201899 Activation of p38 MAPK correlates closely with the stimulation of T cell proliferation.
955 10201899 T cell proliferation and production of IL-2, IL-4, and IFN-gamma induced by both CD3 and CD3/CD28 ligation and the nuclear expression of the c-Jun and ATF-2 proteins are each blocked by the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580.
956 10201899 Our findings demonstrate that p38 MAPK 1) plays an important role in signal integration during costimulation of primary mouse T cells, 2) may be involved in the induction of c-Jun activation and augmentation of AP-1 transcriptional activity, and 3) regulates whether T cells enter a state of functional unresponsiveness.
957 10202001 One segregates as a recessive trait and is associated with a reduction in the peripheral frequency of diabetogenic CD8+ (but not CD4+) T cells.
958 10202001 The other segregates as a dominant trait and is mediated by IL-4- and TGF-beta1-independent immune suppressive functions provided by lymphocytes that target diabetogenic CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, without causing their deletion, anergy, immune deviation, or ignorance.
959 10202048 These changes occurred contemporaneously with a shift in the profile of circulating cytokines from a Th1-dominant (IFN-gamma) to Th2-dominant (IL-4, IL-10) phenotype.
960 10202048 No significant changes in either circulating IL-1beta, IL-6, or TNF-alpha levels were observed in infected mice.
961 10230696 We investigated whether cytokines produced primarily by monocytes/macrophages (IL-1alpha), Th1-lymphocytes (IFNgamma), or Th2-lymphocytes (IL-4) are modulated in diabetes-prone NOD mice by insulin treatment as used in prophylaxis studies.
962 10230696 IL-1alpha, IFNgamma and IL-4 were generally below detection in plasma of prediabetic animals and controls.
963 10230696 Supernatants of activated splenocytes from prediabetic NOD mice had lower levels of IL-4 (<15 pg/10(6) cells) compared with those from BALB/c mice (88+/-22 pg/10(6) cells; p<0.01), and this deficiency was partially compensated for when the NOD mice were given insulin (27+/-8; p<0.01).
964 10230696 The levels of IFNgamma were comparable and largely unaffected by insulin treatment.
965 10230696 We investigated whether cytokines produced primarily by monocytes/macrophages (IL-1alpha), Th1-lymphocytes (IFNgamma), or Th2-lymphocytes (IL-4) are modulated in diabetes-prone NOD mice by insulin treatment as used in prophylaxis studies.

973 10330296 Regulatory Th2-type T cell lines against insulin and GAD peptides derived from orally- and nasally-treated NOD mice suppress diabetes.
974 10330296 Ourselves and others have previously shown that oral and nasal administration of insulin or glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) suppresses development of diabetes in the NOD mouse and that this suppression appears secondary to the generation of regulatory T cells that act by secreting anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-4 and TGF-beta.
975 10330296 In the present study, we analysed cytokine patterns associated with mucosal administration of insulin B-chain, B-chain peptide 10-24 and GAD peptide 524-543 and derived lines and clones from mucosally-treated animals.
976 10330296 There was significantly less IFN-gamma production in mucosally-treated mice associated with increased production of IL-10 and TGF-beta.
977 10330296 T cell clones, established from draining lymph nodes of fed or nasally-treated animals, secreted IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-beta whereas those from non-fed mice secreted IL-2 and IFN-gamma.

983 10330300 GAD65 (glutamic acid decarboxylase) is an important autoantigen in both type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and the neurological autoimmune disease stiff-man syndrome (SMS), and is expressed in pancreatic islets as well as the nervous system.
984 10330300 To study regulation of T cell responsiveness to GAD65, we investigated a non-diabetic SMS patient with HLA-DR3/7 (predisposing to type 1 diabetes) and high levels of type 1 diabetes-associated autoantibodies against GAD65 and islet cells, and compared the results with those of her diabetic son and two other SMS patients.
985 10330300 T cell responses to GAD65 were repeatedly absent in primary stimulation, whereas IA-2, islet antigen and tetanus toxoid induced significant T cell proliferation.
986 10330300 These T cells produced the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-10 in combination with IFN-gamma and IL-4 (Th0).
987 10337011 Therefore, in order to evaluate cytokine secretion by spleen and islet infiltrating T cells in NOD mice at different stages of the autoimmune process, we developed an ELISPOT assay that detects IL-2, IL-4, and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion in vitro at the single-cell level.
988 10337011 We showed that, whatever the age considered, IFN-gamma is predominantly secreted, and that no IL-4-secreting cells are detected in the islets of male and female NOD mice.
989 10337011 Spleen cells from 8-week-old female NOD mice, which include regulatory suppressor T cells, do not secrete IL-4, either upon presentation of islet cell antigens in vitro, or after transfer in vivo, but do secrete IFN-gamma.
990 10337011 IFN-gamma secretion by T cells from diabetic mice results from CD4 but not CD8 T cells in transfer experiments into NOD/severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) recipients.
991 10337011 These results suggest that (i) detection of regulatory CD4 T cells in NOD mice is not paralleled by a Th2 response; (ii) beta cell destruction does not depend on a switch from a Th2 to a Th1-type response; and (iii) CD8 T cells do not participate in induction of diabetes by secreting IFN-gamma.
992 10337011 Therefore, in order to evaluate cytokine secretion by spleen and islet infiltrating T cells in NOD mice at different stages of the autoimmune process, we developed an ELISPOT assay that detects IL-2, IL-4, and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion in vitro at the single-cell level.

1000 10337011 IFN-gamma secretion by T cells from diabetic mice results from CD4 but not CD8 T cells in transfer experiments into NOD/severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) recipients.

1002 10366128 Association of interleukin-4 receptor and interleukin-4 promoter gene polymorphisms with systemic lupus erythematosus.
1003 10400828 Although we saw no difference in type 1 cytokine production (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) in either dialysis group, there was a clear increase in the percentage of T cells spontaneously producing the type 02 cytokines in the PD group (IL-4, r = 0.558, P < 0.05; IL-10, r = 0.527, p < 0.05).
1004 10400828 As expected there was no increase in the spontaneous production of either IL-4 or IL-10 in either disease group with patients undergoing HD treatment.
1005 10400828 However, there was a clear correlation with the frequency of T cells producing IL-4 (r = 0.755, P < 0.05) and IL-10 (r = 0.725, P < 0.05) and time on dialysis in the PD patients with DN, but not those with GN.

1012 10404814 Whereas no relation of PBMC reactivity with insulin autoantibodies was found, there was a positive correlation with the presence of at least one of the four autoantibodies tested and with IA-2 antibody.
1013 10404814 Furthermore, interleukin-4 (IL-4) production was lower in type 1 diabetic patients who proliferated to insulin than in those who did not (23+/-15 vs. 64+/-47 pg/mL; P = 0.04), but interferon-gamma, IL-2, and IL-10 productions were similar.
1014 10411548 Mice expressing lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus nucleoprotein (LCMV-NP) as a transgene in their beta cells develop insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) only after LCMV infection.
1015 10411548 Inoculation of plasmid DNA encoding the insulin B chain reduced the incidence of IDDM by 50% in this model.
1016 10411548 The insulin B-chain DNA vaccination was effective through induction of regulatory CD4 lymphocytes that react with the insulin B chain, secrete IL-4, and locally reduce activity of LCMV-NP-autoreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the pancreatic draining lymph node.
1017 10415012 Peptide-based immunotherapy is one strategy by which to selectively suppress the T cell-mediated destruction of beta cells and treat insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
1018 10415012 Here, we investigated whether a panel of T cell epitopes derived from the beta cell autoantigen glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) differ in their capacity to induce Th2 cell function in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice and in turn prevent overt IDDM at different preclinical stages of disease development.
1019 10415012 Immunization with the GAD65-specific peptides did not block IDDM development in NOD mice deficient in IL-4 expression.
1020 10415012 These findings demonstrate that GAD65-specific peptide immunotherapy effectively suppresses progression to overt IDDM, requires the production of IL-4, and is dependent on the epitope targeted and the extent of preexisting beta cell autoimmunity in the recipient.

1025 10415077 Interestingly, islet Ag-specific Th1 T cells were present and found to be functional, because neutralization of the Th2 effector cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 resulted in diabetes.
1026 10415614 Treatment of Balb/c male mice for two weeks resulted in the increase of IL-4, and the decrease of TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, and IL-2 release from stimulated splenocytes, suggesting that UK-114 modulates the Th1/Th2 cytokine profile toward Th2.
1027 10426368 Accordingly, splenic lymphoid cells (SLC) from hIL-13-treated mice secreted less interferon (IFN)-gamma upon ex vivo stimulation with Concanavalin A than controls, and anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody-induced activation of T-cells in vivo resulted in lower blood levels of IFN-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha and augmented blood levels of IL-4 in NOD mice pretreated with hIL-13. hIL-13 treatment also increased the blood levels of IgE and inhibited the transfer of type 1 diabetes by spleen cells from a diabetic donor to irradiated recipients.
1028 10426368 Taken together, these data add hIL-13 to the list of cytokines capable of downregulating immunoinflammatory diabetogenic pathways in NOD mice, and further support the concept that IL-4-related anti-inflammatory cytokines might have a role in the prevention of type 1 diabetes.

1031 10433100 By analysis of cytokine RNA production we found that treatment of several strains of mice with streptozotocin changes the peripheral helper T cell phenotype elicited after immunization with Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin from a mixed Th1- and Th2-type cytokine pattern (characterized by IFN-gamma and IL-4 and IL-5 expressions, respectively) to predominately Th1-type.

1033 10435719 Interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-4 are prototypic type 1 and type 2 cytokines which are known to play pathogenetic and protective roles, respectively, in NOD mouse IDDM.
1034 10435719 The capacity of male NOD mice to produce more IL-4 and less IFN-gamma within the insulitic lesions than females has been suggested to contribute to their lower incidence of diabetes.

1053 10435719 In this study we have tested the effects of prolonged prophylactic treatment of male NOD mice with rat IFN-gamma, mouse IFN-gamma, anti-IL-4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and recombinant murine soluble IL-4 receptor (smIL-4R) on the diabetogenic events leading to insulitis and diabetes.
1054 10435719 Control mice exhibited comparable histological signs of insulitis and incidence of diabetes to those treated with either mouse/rat IFN-gamma or specific IL-4 inhibitors.
1055 10435719 These findings indicate that the autoimmune diathesis of male NOD mice towards IDDM cannot be augmented by manipulation of endogenous IFN-gamma or IL-4.

1068 10438916 In the latter model transgenic mice express the nucleoprotein (NP) of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) under the control of the rat insulin promotor (RIP) in the pancreatic beta cells and develop diabetes only following LCMV infection; and 2) protection could be transferred with insulin B chain-restimulated but not LCMV-restimulated splenocytes from RIP-NP transgenic mice, demonstrating that the mechanism of diabetes prevention in the RIP-NP model is mediated by insulin B chain-specific, IL-4-producing regulatory cells acting as bystander suppressors.
1069 10449167 Our work has been concerned with the detailed characterization of four distinct DC populations in NOD mice: two derived from bone marrow (BM) cells cultured in either granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plus interleukin-4 (IL-4) or GM-CSF alone and two from the spleen of Flt3 ligand (Flt3L) -treated mice, isolated on the basis of CD8alpha expression.
1070 10449167 In addition, we obtained a lower yield of NOD BM-derived DC and they expressed higher levels of cell-surface CD40 and IL-12 p40 mRNA than BM-derived DC from the diabetes-resistant strain, B10.BR.
1071 10450506 These animals were also deficient in the rapid production of interleukin-4 and interferon-gamma in response to stimulation by anti-CD3 antibodies.
1072 10453045 IL-12 and IL-12 antagonist administration to nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice accelerates and prevents insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), respectively.
1073 10453045 Nevertheless, wild-type and IL-12-deficient NOD mice developed similar insulitis and IDDM.
1074 10453045 Both in wild-type and IL-12-deficient NOD mice, approximately 20% of pancreas-infiltrating CD4+ T cells produced IFN-gamma, whereas very few produced IL-10 or IL-4, indicating that IDDM was associated with a type 1 T cell infiltrate in the target organ.
1075 10455925 IL-4 production in IDDM-nonrecurrent pancreas-transplanted BB rats with donor-derived NKR-P1+TCR alpha beta + (NKT) cells, but not in IDDM-recurrent BB rats.
1076 10464178 Furthermore, NOD mice which spontaneously develop diabetes are susceptible to EAE induction with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) 35-55, whereas a MHC congenic strain, III, which also expresses I-A(g7) MHC haplotype does not develop diabetes and is also resistant to EAE induction.
1077 10464178 In the susceptible strains (SJL and NOD) in vitro, there are high levels of IFN-gamma production, whereas the resistant strains (B10.S or III) secreted primarily IL-4/IL-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, and had decreased levels of IFN-gamma.
1078 10464178 When brains from susceptible and resistant mice were examined by immunohistochemical methods for cytokine expression, the brains from resistant mice showed fewer infiltrates which predominantly expressed IL-4 and IL-10 and/or TGF-beta.
1079 10464178 Brains from NOD and SJL with EAE showed mainly IL-2 and IFN-gamma positive cells.
1080 10464178 Furthermore, NOD mice which spontaneously develop diabetes are susceptible to EAE induction with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) 35-55, whereas a MHC congenic strain, III, which also expresses I-A(g7) MHC haplotype does not develop diabetes and is also resistant to EAE induction.
1081 10464178 In the susceptible strains (SJL and NOD) in vitro, there are high levels of IFN-gamma production, whereas the resistant strains (B10.S or III) secreted primarily IL-4/IL-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, and had decreased levels of IFN-gamma.

1083 10464178 Brains from NOD and SJL with EAE showed mainly IL-2 and IFN-gamma positive cells.
1084 10512358 In a number of animal models of spontaneous autoimmune diabetes, pathogenesis has been highly correlated with autoreactive T-cell production of the type 1 cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), while protection from disease was associated with type 2 cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4.
1085 10512358 IL-10 has generally been associated with immunosuppression, including the modulation of class II expression on antigen-presenting cells and the generation of regulatory CD4 T-cells.
1086 10525315 We have constructed bone marrow chimeras between transgenic and non-transgenic NOD mice to study the correlation of E expression on bone marrow derived cells and thymic epithelium vs the production of IL-4 and IFN-gamma.
1087 10549628 Autoreactive CD4+ T cells protect from autoimmune diabetes via bystander suppression using the IL-4/Stat6 pathway.
1088 10549628 Here, we report the generation and characterization of insulin B chain-specific "autoreactive" CD4+ regulatory T cells that locally suppress diabetogenic T cell responses against an unrelated self-antigen (viral transgene) in a virus-induced model for type 1 diabetes.
1089 10576558 In contrast, IFNgamma production was not affected while IL-10 levels were slightly decreased.
1090 10576558 The differential effect of the NO donor on IL-4 versus IL-10 and IFNgamma gene expression suggests an immunomodulatory potential of NO, which may serve to limit inflammatory responses.
1091 10580417 DCs derived from GM-CSF [granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor] + interleukin (IL)-4 cultures expressed high levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II, CD40, CD80, and CD86 molecules and were efficient stimulators of naive allogeneic T-cells.
1092 10580417 In contrast, DCs derived from GM-CSF cultures had low levels of MHC class II costimulation/activation molecules, were able to take up mannosylated bovine serum albumin more efficiently than GM + IL-4 DCs, and were poor T-cell stimulators.
1093 10580417 DCs derived from GM-CSF [granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor] + interleukin (IL)-4 cultures expressed high levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II, CD40, CD80, and CD86 molecules and were efficient stimulators of naive allogeneic T-cells.
1094 10580417 In contrast, DCs derived from GM-CSF cultures had low levels of MHC class II costimulation/activation molecules, were able to take up mannosylated bovine serum albumin more efficiently than GM + IL-4 DCs, and were poor T-cell stimulators.
1095 10585754 It has been suggested that in cell-mediated autoimmune diseases, Th2-like lymphocytes secreting IL-4 and/or IL-10 provide protection, while Th1-like cells secreting IFN-gamma are pathogenic.
1096 10585754 We provide here evidence that IFN-gamma producers are relatively resistant to depletion by CY and that Th0 clones can be shifted towards Th1.
1097 10585754 Thus, the acceleration of diabetes by CY seems to be a complex event, which includes the relatively high resistance of IFN-gamma producers to the drug, their rapid reconstitution, and a Th1 shift of surviving T cell clones.
1098 10605017 We now demonstrate that regulatory splenocytes belong to the CD4+ CD62Lhigh T cell subset that comprises a vast majority of naive cells producing low levels of IL-2 and IFN-gamma and no IL-4 and IL-10 upon in vitro stimulation.
1099 10605017 Consistently, the inhibition of diabetes transfer was not mediated by IL-4 and IL-10.
1100 10605017 The phenotypic and functional characteristics of protective CD4+ CD62L+ cells suggest they are different from Th2-, Tr1-, and NK T-type cells, reported to be implicated in the control of diabetes in NOD mice, and may represent a new immunoregulatory population.

1104 10620608 The diabetes was accompanied by severe insulitis composed of both T cells (CD4(+) and CD8(+)) and B cells.
1105 10620608 T cells from the diabetic mice secreted large amounts of interferon gamma, but not interleukin 4, in response to DQ8(+) islets and the putative islet autoantigens, insulin and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD).
1106 10620608 In conclusion, substitution of HLA-DQA1*0301/DQB1*0302, but not HLA-DQA1*0103/DQB1*0601, for murine MHC class II provokes autoimmune diabetes in non-diabetes-prone rat insulin promoter (RIP).B7-1 C57BL/6 mice.
1107 10674354 IL4 and IL4Ralpha genes are not linked or associated with type 1 diabetes.
1108 10674354 Here we have evaluated IL4 and the alpha subunit of the IL-4 receptor (IL4Ralpha) genes using the affected sibpair (ASP) and transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT).

1111 10689643 Th1 (IFN-gamma and TNF-beta) and Th2 (IL-4 and IL-10) cytokine mRNA expression was analyzed in pancreatic islets isolated from female NOD mice with a high incidence of diabetes and male NOD mice with a low incidence of diabetes.
1112 10689643 These results suggest that islet beta-cell destruction and diabetes in female NOD mice correlates with IFN-gamma and TNF-beta production in the islets, and that male NOD mice may be protected from autoimmune beta-cell destruction by down-regulation of these cytokines.
1113 10689643 Furthermore, our findings also suggest that insulitis and beta-cell destruction are independently regulated: TNF-beta is more important in forming and maintaining the insulitis, while IFN-gamma has a more important role in beta-cell destruction.
1114 10707936 Neither the pancreata of normal BALB/c mice nor NOD mice at 2-16 weeks of age contained tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), IL-4, or IL-12.
1115 10707936 At 8 weeks of age, a few IL-2+ cells were found in the pancreas of one of three NOD mice.
1116 10707937 Sections from the pancreata of these injected mice were stained for cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha], interferon gamma [IFN-gamma], CD1d, interleukin 2 [IL-2], IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-12).
1117 10707937 The expression of IL-2 and IL-12 was very scarce.
1118 10714554 The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of a CA dinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) gene (IFNG) and a C(-590)T polymorphism of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) gene in 236 Caucasoid patients with type 1 diabetes.
1119 10725719 Anti-LFA-1 therapy induces long-term islet allograft acceptance in the absence of IFN-gamma or IL-4.
1120 10725719 Finally, anti-LFA-1 treatment was effective in both IL-4-deficient and IFN-gamma-deficient recipients, indicating that neither of these cytokines are universally required for allograft acceptance.
1121 10725719 These results suggest that anti-adhesion-based therapy can induce a nondeletional form of tolerance that is not overtly dependent on the prototypic Th1 and Th2 cytokines, IFN-gamma and IL-4, respectively, in contrast to results in other transplantation models.

1128 10741564 An islet-specific CD8+ T cell hybridoma generated from non-obese diabetic mice recognizes insulin as an autoantigen.
1129 10741564 Although CD8+ T cells play a major role in beta cell destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes in the non-obese diabetic mouse, the T cell autoantigen(s) recognized by such cells remains to be identified.
1130 10741564 In the presence of islets, none of the 12 CD3+ CD8+ T cell hybridomas isolated secreted IL-2/IL-4 or IFNgamma but three were islet specific, as shown by activation induced cell death.

1161 10746656 Thus, supernatants of islets from these mice contained increased levels of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, and, to a lesser extent, interferon-gamma and diminished levels of tumor necrosis factor-a compared with controls.
1162 10746656 Because exogenous IL-4 and IL-10 exert antidiabetogenic effect in NOD mice and early blockade of endogenous tumor necrosis factor-alpha prevents NOD mouse diabetes, these phenomena may be causally related to the antidiabetogenic effect of HGG-pulsed DC treatment.

1165 10753067 Intramuscular administration of expression plasmids encoding interferon-gamma receptor/IgG1 or IL-4/IgG1 chimeric proteins protects from autoimmunity.
1166 10770268 One of the primary mechanisms of active cellular suppression is via secretion of suppressive cytokines such as TGF-beta, IL-4, and IL-10 following antigen-specific triggering.
1167 10770268 TGF-beta is produced both by CD4+ and CD8+ GALT-derived T cells and is an important mediator of the active suppression component of oral tolerance.
1168 10773364 The popliteal lymph node response to streptozotocin is under type 1, MHC class-I restricted, CD8(+) T-cell control.
1169 10773364 In order to determine whether PLN responses involve CD4(+) or CD8(+) T-cells, the effects of streptozotocin (STZ), a prototypic immunotoxic compound, were analyzed after injection into the hind footpad of C57 BL/6 mice and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II deficient mice.
1170 10773364 The involvement of type 1 or type 2 cell control on the production of cytokine mRNAs was analyzed in lymph node cells by quantitative RT-PCR, together with the analysis of a wide range of cytokine mRNAs after STZ injection (IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-2 receptor, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12).
1171 10773364 We have found that mice depleted in CD8(+) T-cells did not respond to STZ, whereas mice depleted in CD4(+) T-cells exhibited the expected positive PLN responses, with increased weight and cellularity indices.
1172 10773364 STZ induced a low production of interleukin (IL)-2 mRNAs, a mild increase in IL-1alpha and IL-6 mRNAs production, and a dramatic increase in IFN-gamma, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, IL-12 and IL-2 receptor mRNAs, which correlated with positive PLN responses.
1173 10773364 No effects on IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10 mRNAs synthesis were noted.
1174 10773364 In CD8(+) T-cell deficient mice, there was no production of IFN-gamma or IL-6 mRNAs.
1175 10773364 These results suggest that PLN responses to STZ are under the control of type 1, MHC class-I-restricted, CD8(+) T-cells.

1181 10773364 No effects on IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10 mRNAs synthesis were noted.
1182 10773364 In CD8(+) T-cell deficient mice, there was no production of IFN-gamma or IL-6 mRNAs.

1184 10797469 Increased production of interferon-gamma, but not IL-4 mRNA, by streptozotocin in the popliteal lymph node assay.
1185 10797469 To determine whether PLN responses involved Th1 or Th2 cell control, or both, the effects of streptozotocin (STZ), a prototypic immunotoxic compound, were analysed on the production of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) mRNA by lymph node cells after injection into the hind footpad of C57 BL/6 mice.

1188 10814778 Hsp60 expression was found to be enhanced in response to cytokines as diverse as IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10.
1189 10814778 Upregulation of hsp27, however, was primarily induced by immunoregulatory cytokines like IL-4, IL-6 and TGF-beta whereas alphaB-crystallin expression was found to be enhanced by the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha only.

1192 10832976 IFN-gamma production from splenic T lymphocytes stimulated with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies was increased, whereas IL-4 production was decreased in NOD controls compared to age- and sex-matched normal ICR mice.
1193 10843746 Production of IL-10 and IL-12 in CD40 and interleukin 4-activated mononuclear cells from patients with Graves' disease.
1194 10843746 We investigated the effect of T cell-dependent B cell activation on the production of IL-10 and IL-12 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from patients with Graves' disease vs Hashimoto's thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes or normal controls.
1195 10843746 In subjects with a low basal IL-12 level there was a positive correlation between the production of IL-12 and that of IL-10 from PBMCs stimulated with anti-CD40 antibodies plus IL-4.
1196 10843746 Thus, T cell-dependent B cell activation via a CD40 pathway triggers the overproduction of IL-10 and overcome the effect of IL-12 to shift the Th(1)/Th(2)balance to Th(2)dominance in patients with Graves' disease but not in Hashimoto's thyroiditis or type 1 diabetes.

1200 10843746 Thus, T cell-dependent B cell activation via a CD40 pathway triggers the overproduction of IL-10 and overcome the effect of IL-12 to shift the Th(1)/Th(2)balance to Th(2)dominance in patients with Graves' disease but not in Hashimoto's thyroiditis or type 1 diabetes.
1201 10872884 Temporal relationship between immune cell influx and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, interleukin-4 and interferon-gamma in pancreatic islets of NOD mice following adoptive transfer of diabetic spleen cells.
1202 10872884 The progression of insulitis and the number of intra-islet CD4 and CD8 cells and macrophages were correlated with the expression and co-localization of inducible nitric oxide synthase, interferon-gamma and interleukin-4 by dual-label light and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy.
1203 10872884 During the period of heightened insulitis, selective immune cells begin to express inducible nitric oxide synthase and the opposing cytokines, interferon-gamma and interleukin-4.

1210 10878389 Whereas an elevated ratio of macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha):MIP-1beta in the pancreas correlated with destructive insulitis and progression to diabetes in NOD mice, a decreased intrapancreatic MIP-1alpha:MIP-1beta ratio was observed in nonobese diabetes-resistant (NOR) mice.
1211 10878389 IL-4 treatment, which prevents diabetes in NOD mice by polarizing intraislet Th2 responses, decreased CCR5 expression in islets and potentiated a high ratio of MIP-1beta and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1): MIP-1alpha in the pancreas.
1212 10878389 These studies illustrate that the temporal expression of certain CC chemokines, particularly MIP-1alpha, and the CCR5 chemokine receptor in the pancreas is associated with the development of insulitis and spontaneous type I diabetes.
1213 10936088 However, in additional cases T-cell responses to P2C were detectable through the release of interferon-gamma or interleukin-4 in individuals who did not make proliferative responses.
1214 10953913 Genes encoding transforming growth factor beta, interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-10 are most frequently protective.
1215 10953913 Autoimmune/ inflammatory diseases are associated with excessive production of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and interferon gamma (IFNgamma).
1216 10953913 Vectors encoding inhibitors of these cytokines, such as IL-1 receptor antagonist, soluble IL-1 receptors, IL-12p40, soluble TNFalpha receptors or IFNgamma-receptor/IgG-Fc fusion proteins are protective in models of either arthritis, Type 1 DM, SLE or EAE.
1217 10975477 Intracellular cytokine staining and flow cytometry were used to investigate whether immunoadsorption (IA) of immunoglobulins alters intracytoplasmic cytokine production in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from the blood of patients with refractory rheumatoid arthritis (n = 7), membrane proliferative glomerulonephritis (n = 1), and Goodpasture's syndrome (n = 1).
1218 10975477 Four patients (Group 1) showed severely depressed production of TNF-alpha, IL-2, IFN-gamma, and IL-4 by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and responded to 3 IA sessions with significant increases in CD4+TNF-alpha+, CD4+IL-2+, and CD8+IL-2+ T cells.
1219 10975477 Also, a tendency toward increased percentage levels of CD4+ T cells producing IFN-gamma or IL-4 and of CD8+ T cells producing either TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma was seen, but due to the small number of patients investigated, these differences did not attain statistic significance.
1220 10975477 Group 2 (n = 5) showed unimpaired intracellular cytokine levels and responded to IA with a heterogeneous pattern of changes in TNF-alpha, IL-2, IFN-gamma, and IL-4 production, but these alterations were smaller than those in Group 1.

1229 11005626 After 40-hour incubation, the concentrations of the cytokines produced (IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12) in the culture supernatants were measured by ELISA (Endogen, USA).
1230 11005626 The MNC cultures from patients with GD produced significantly less IL-12 and significantly more IL-10 and IL-4 than MNC cultures from healthy controls.

1233 11050183 Autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) occurs spontaneously in mice-bearing transgenes encoding the influenza hemagglutinin under the control of the rat insulin promoter and a T cell receptor specific for an hemagglutinin peptide associated with I-E(d).
1234 11050183 Such "double transgenic" mice expressing wild-type or targeted IL-4Ralpha genes were examined for the onset of IDDM.
1235 11050183 Thus, the inability to respond to IL-4 and/or IL-13 protects mice against IDDM in this model of autoimmunity.
1236 11078447 Testicular sertoli cells protect islet beta-cells from autoimmune destruction in NOD mice by a transforming growth factor-beta1-dependent mechanism.
1237 11078447 The aim of this study was to determine whether Fas ligand (FasL) and/or transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, immunoregulatory proteins produced by Sertoli cells, might mediate the protective effects of these cells against autoimmune destruction of islet beta-cells.
1238 11078447 Immunohistochemical examination of Sertoli cell grafts in normoglycemic mice revealed that TGF-beta1 expression by Sertoli cells remained high, whereas FasL expression by Sertoli cells decreased progressively posttransplantation.
1239 11078447 Islet graft destruction in anti-TGF-beta1-treated mice was associated with increases in interferon (IFN)-gamma-producing cells and decreases in interleukin (IL)-4-producing cells in the islet grafts.
1240 11078447 We conclude that 1) Sertoli cell production of TGF-beta1, not FasL, protects islet beta-cells from autoimmune destruction and 2) TGF-beta1 diverts islet-infiltrating cells from a beta-cell-destructive (IFN-gamma+) phenotype to a nondestructive (IL-4+) phenotype.

1246 11086068 We set up an adoptive transfer model in which the recipients were transgenic mice expressing influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) specifically in their pancreatic ss islet cells (rat insulin promoter-HA mice) and islet-specific Tc1 and Tc2 cells were generated in vitro from HA-specific CD8(+) cells of TCR transgenic mice (CL4-TCR mice).
1247 11086068 Highly polarized Tc2 cells generated in the presence of IL-4, IL-10, and anti-IFN-gamma mAb had a relatively low, but definite, diabetogenic potential.

1251 11092695 The control pancreas yielded specific signals for both IL-4 and IL-10.
1252 11092695 Moreover, together with previous observations, our findings raise the possibility that the lack of both IL-4 and IL-10 may be associated with the development of IDDM in humans.

1293 11141336 NOD GM + IL-4 DC produced lower amounts of IL-12 p70 following CD40 ligation or LPS stimulation in the presence of IFN-gamma than DC from other strains, although similar levels of IL-6 and NO were produced by all strains.
1294 11141336 The low amounts of IL-12 p70 produced by GM + IL-4 DC are despite a more mature DC phenotype observed in NOD mice.

1297 11145720 Numerous immunostimulatory protocols inhibit the development of T cell-mediated autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model.
1298 11145720 Many of these protocols, including treatment with the nonspecific immunostimulatory agents CFA or bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, have been reported to mediate protection by skewing the pattern of cytokines produced by pancreatic beta-cell autoreactive T cells from a Th1 (IFN-gamma) to a Th2 (IL-4 and IL-10) profile.
1299 11145720 To partially address this issue we produced NOD mice genetically deficient in IFN-gamma, IL-4, or IL-10.
1300 11145720 Additional experiments using these mice confirmed that CFA- or BCG-elicited diabetes protection is associated with a decreased IFN-gamma to IL-4 mRNA ratio within T cell-infiltrated pancreatic islets, but this is a secondary consequence rather than the cause of disease resistance.
1301 11145720 Unexpectedly, we also found that the ability of BCG and, to a lesser extent, CFA to inhibit IDDM development in standard NOD mice is actually dependent upon the presence of the Th1 cytokine, IFN-gamma.

1312 11160264 In this study, we have investigated the use of plasmid DNA (pDNA) vaccination to elicit Th2 effector cell function in an Ag-specific manner and in turn prevent insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. pDNA recombinants were engineered encoding a secreted fusion protein consisting of a fragment of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) linked to IgGFc, and IL-4.
1313 11160264 Intramuscular injection of pDNA encoding GAD65-IgGFc and IL-4 effectively prevented diabetes in NOD mice treated at early or late preclinical stages of IDDM.
1314 11160264 This protection was GAD65-specific since NOD mice immunized with pDNA encoding hen egg lysozyme-IgGFc and IL-4 continued to develop diabetes.
1315 11160264 Importantly, GAD65-specific immune deviation was dependent on pDNA-encoded IL-4.
1316 11160264 In fact, GAD65-specific Th1 cell reactivity was significantly enhanced in animals immunized with pDNA encoding only GAD65-IgGFc.

1322 11160264 In this study, we have investigated the use of plasmid DNA (pDNA) vaccination to elicit Th2 effector cell function in an Ag-specific manner and in turn prevent insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. pDNA recombinants were engineered encoding a secreted fusion protein consisting of a fragment of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) linked to IgGFc, and IL-4.
1323 11160264 Intramuscular injection of pDNA encoding GAD65-IgGFc and IL-4 effectively prevented diabetes in NOD mice treated at early or late preclinical stages of IDDM.
1324 11160264 This protection was GAD65-specific since NOD mice immunized with pDNA encoding hen egg lysozyme-IgGFc and IL-4 continued to develop diabetes.

1332 11161975 Among them, there is our previous report that pancreatic expression of IL-4 activated islet antigen-specific BDC2.5 T cells and rendered them able to trigger insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in ins-IL-4/BDC2.5 mice (Mueller et al., Immunity, 7, 1997).

1339 11207247 CD4(+) T cells arise spontaneously in young NOD mice to an apparently dominant determinant found within the GAD65 peptide 530--543 (p530); however, T cells to the overlapping determinant 524-538 (p524) dominate the response only after immunization with GAD65(524--543).
1340 11207247 T cell clones and hybridomas from both of these T cell groups were responsive to APC pulsed with GAD65(524--543) or whole rGAD65. p524-reactive cells appeared to be regulatory upon adoptive transfer into young NOD mice and could inhibit insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus development, although they were unable to produce IL-4, IL-10, or TGF beta upon antigenic challenge.

1343 11222507 To investigate which co-stimulation-induced signaling events mediate this protection, we analyzed the activity of Ras, Rac-1, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and several transcription factors in TCR-activated NOD T cells in the presence or absence of CD28 co-stimulation.

1365 11238616 IL-4 mRNA levels are increased and IFN-gamma mRNA levels decreased in islets from diabetes-free V alpha 14-J alpha 281 transgenic NOD mice; the IgG1/IgG2c ratio of autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase is also increased in these mice.
1366 11238667 Chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) are associated with type 1 (Th1, Tc1) T cell-dependent responses against autoantigens.
1367 11238667 In response to IL-2 binding, this chimeric receptor transduces IL-4-specific signals and dramatically enhances type 2 responses.
1368 11238667 The aggravated disease in transgenic mice was associated with an increase in type 2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-10) and an increase in collagen-specific IgG1 levels.

1372 11246870 We demonstrate here that recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) serotype 2, a vector that can overcome these limitations, effectively transduces both human and murine pancreatic islet cells with reporter genes as well as potentially important immunoregulatory cytokine genes (interleukin-4, interleukin-10), although a very high multiplicity of infection (10,000 infectious units/islet equivalent) was required.
1373 11269889 In this study, we focused on the cytotoxic activity of peripheral lymphocytes in patients with type 1 DM against the peptides of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and insulin, which can bind MHC class 1 A24.
1374 11269889 The effector cells were cultured with peptides, IL-2 and IL-7, restimulated weekly by autologous antigen presenting cells, which were cultured with IL-4 and GM-CSF.
1375 11269889 The results showed that cytotoxicity against insulin peptide binding to MHC class I A24 was observed in lymphocytes of four out of ten patients with type 1 DM.
1376 11269889 Cytotoxicity against GAD peptide which bind MHC class I A24 was not observed in seven patients.
1377 11269889 None of healthy controls showed cytotoxicity against GAD or insulin peptides was observed.
1378 11269889 This is the first report describing the cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T lymphocytes against insulin in type 1 DM.
1379 11309160 The aim of this study was to evaluate possible changes in the circulating levels of interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-4 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta in association with the autoimmune process leading to type 1 diabetes.
1380 11309160 Newly diagnosed diabetic children had lower levels of IFN-gamma, IL-4 and TGF-beta 1 signals compared to their age- and sex-matched controls (P < 0.02, P < 0.005 and P < 0.005, respectively) and also the autoantibody-positive subjects had significantly lower levels of IL-4 and TGF-beta 1 in comparison with their matched controls (P = 0.0013 and P = 0.012).
1381 11309160 Our results suggest a systemic bias towards reduced production of T-helper cell type 2 cytokines (IL-4 and TGF-beta 1) during the autoimmune process, but there was also a reduced level of IFN-gamma expression in the periphery at the onset of clinical diabetes.

1388 11311961 The treatment with copper sulfate significantly decreased blood glucose levels, levels of lipid peroxidation and mRNA expression of the enzyme iNOS and the cytokines IFN-gamma and IL-4.
1389 11312119 IL-18 is a potent proinflammatory cytokine able to induce IFNgamma, GM-CSF, TNFalpha and IL-1 in immunocompetent cells, to activate killing by lymphocytes, and to up-regulate the expression of certain chemokine receptors.
1390 11312119 Moreover, IL-18 also induces IL-13 and/or IL-4 production by NK cells, mast cells and basophils.
1391 11349735 Transplanted NOD-B2 m-/- islets were surrounded by a nondestructive periinsular infiltrate that expressed interleukin-4 in addition to interferon-gamma.
1392 11359854 Several studies have provided indirect evidence in support of a role for beta cell-specific Th2 cells in regulating insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM).
1393 11359854 Adoptive transfer of a GAD65-specific Th2 cell clone (characterized by the secretion of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10, but not IFN-gamma or TGF-beta) into 2- or 12-wk-old NOD female recipients prevented the progression of insulitis and subsequent development of overt IDDM.
1394 11359854 The immunoregulatory function of a given Th cell clone was dependent on the relative levels of IFN-gamma vs IL-4 and IL-10 secreted.

1397 11359854 The immunoregulatory function of a given Th cell clone was dependent on the relative levels of IFN-gamma vs IL-4 and IL-10 secreted.
1398 11390999 The acceleration of disease did not seem to result from changes in the T helper (Th)1/Th2 balance because lymphocytes purified from lymphoid organs and pancreatic islets of wild-type and CD1d-null mice secreted equivalent amounts of IFN-gamma and IL-4 after stimulation.
1399 11409710 NOD/LtJ and NOD/Bom mice were found significantly to upregulate pancreatic IL-12p40 and IL-18 expression after cyclophosphamide treatment, followed by an increase in IFN-gamma mRNA levels.
1400 11409710 In contrast, the two MHC-haplotype H-2nbl expressing strains either up-regulated neither IL-12/IL-18 nor IFN-gamma gene expression.
1401 11409710 NOR mice progressed to IFN-gamma expression but exhibited sustained IL-4 gene expression.
1402 11418698 We previously demonstrated that administration of plasmid DNAs (pDNAs) encoding IL-4 and a fragment of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) fused to IgGFc induces GAD65-specific Th2 cells and prevents insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice.
1403 11418698 Insulin was chosen based on studies demonstrating that administration of insulin or insulin B chain by a variety of strategies prevents IDDM in NOD mice.
1404 11418698 Surprisingly, young NOD mice receiving i.m. injections of pDNA encoding insulin B chain-IgGFc with or without IL-4 exhibited an accelerated progression of insulitis and developed early diabetes.
1405 11418698 Exacerbation of IDDM correlated with an increased frequency of IFN-gamma-secreting CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in response to insulin B chain-specific peptides compared with untreated mice.
1406 11418698 In contrast, treatment with pDNAs encoding insulin A chain-IgGFc and IL-4 elicited a low frequency of IL-4-secreting Th cells and had no effect on the progression of IDDM.
1407 11418698 Vaccination with pDNAs encoding GAD65-IgGFc and IL-4, however, prevented IDDM.
1408 11418698 These results demonstrate that insulin- and GAD65-specific T cell reactivity induced by pDNA vaccination has distinct effects on the progression of IDDM.

1430 11422905 The mRNA expression for IL-12(p40), IL-18, and interferon (IFN)-gamma, but not IL-5, increased in the spleen in parallel with the development of insulitis.
1431 11422905 The treatment with MoAb to IL-12(p40) reduced the insulitis with diabetes which was associated with a decrease in the mRNA expression for IL-12(p40), IL-18 and IFN-gamma, and an increase of IL-4 mRNA expression in the spleen.
1432 11422905 The present study suggested that Th1-dominant systemic immune responses, being responsible for the development of autoimmune insulitis, might be induced by IL-12-induced and IL-18-activated mechanisms.
1433 11466393 Increased entry into the IFN-gamma effector pathway by CD4+ T cells selected by I-Ag7 on a nonobese diabetic versus C57BL/6 genetic background.
1434 11466393 IFN-gamma-mediated Th1 effects play a major role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice.
1435 11466393 We analyzed functional responses of CD4(+) T cells from NOD and B6.G7 MHC congenic mice, which share the H2(g7) MHC region but differ in their non-MHC genetic background.
1436 11466393 Despite comparable proliferative responses, NOD CD4(+) T cells had significantly increased IFN-gamma intracellular/extracellular protein and mRNA responses compared with B6.G7 T cells as measured by intracellular cytokine analysis, time resolved fluorometry, and RNase protection assays.
1437 11466393 The increased IFN-gamma production was not due to an increase in the amount of IFN-gamma produced per cell but to an increase in the number of NOD CD4(+) T cells entering the IFN-gamma-producing pathway.
1438 11466393 B6.G7 lymphoid cells demonstrated an absolute decrease in IFN-gamma mRNA, an increase in IL-4 mRNA production, and a significantly decreased IFN-gamma:IL-4 mRNA transcript ratio compared with NOD cells.
1439 11466393 CD4(+) T cells from C57BL6 mice also showed significantly decreased IFN-gamma production compared with CD4(+) T cells from NOD.H2(b) MHC-congenic mice (which have an H2(b) MHC region introgressed onto an NOD non-MHC background).
1440 11466393 Therefore, the NOD non-MHC background predisposes to a quantitatively increased IFN-gamma response, independent of MHC class II-mediated T cell repertoire selection, even when compared with a prototypical Th1 strain.
1441 11489328 Cell type specific and glucose responsive expression of interleukin-4 by using insulin promoter and water soluble lipopolymer.
1442 11489328 In this study, we constructed pRIP-IL4 in which the expression of interleukin-4 (IL-4) was driven by the rat insulin promoter.

1444 11489328 In this study, we constructed pRIP-IL4 in which the expression of interleukin-4 (IL-4) was driven by the rat insulin promoter.
1445 11490031 Introduction of a disrupted IL-4 gene into the NOD-H2-E transgenic stock demonstrated that induction of this Th2 cytokine does not represent the IDDM protective immunoregulatory process mediated by H2-E expression.
1446 11509644 This was associated with a T2 shift in spleen, expansion of IL-4-producing and, to a lesser extent, of IFN-gamma-secreting T cells in pancreatic lymph nodes, as well as intermolecular Th2 epitope spreading to glutamic acid decarboxylase determinants.
1447 11521435 Ten cytokines (alpha-IFN, gamma-IFN, GM-CSF, TGF-beta 1, Il-1, Il-4, Il-6, Il-6sR, TNF alpha) were measured in the serum, lacrimal fluid, and vitreous and subretinal fluid collected during operations.
1448 11521435 The data indicate that excessive or insufficient local and/or systemic production of at least seven cytokines (TNF alpha, gamma-IFN, Il-6, Il-pR, alpha-IFN, Il-8, and RGF-beta 1) can affect the retinal involvement in the pathological process and development of proliferative retinopathy in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
1449 11529910 This response was characterized by an intensive increase in splenic IgG1 antibody secreting cells, a marked elevation in serum IgE levels, a substantial increase in splenic IL-4 mRNA, but a significant decrease in splenic IFN-gamma mRNA.
1450 11533710 Disease prevention correlated with the ability of alpha-GalCer to suppress interferon-gamma but not interleukin-4 production by NKT cells, to increase serum immunoglobulin E levels, and to promote the generation of islet autoantigen-specific Th2 cells.
1451 11533711 The immunoregulatory activity of natural killer T (NKT) cells is well documented, and both interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10 secreted by NKT cells have important roles in mediating this activity.
1452 11590186 Here, we completely blocked adoptive transfer of diabetes and reduced spontaneous disease incidence from 71% to 17% by simultaneously administering a combination of antibodies directed against alpha4, beta2, and beta7 integrins and their ligands VCAM-1, MAdCAM-1, and ICAM-1 for 52 and 28 days, respectively.
1453 11590186 CD4 and CD8 T cells and macrophages were excluded from islets and remained entrapped in a peri-islet location as inactive exiles, no longer expressing normal levels of interferon-gamma, interleukin-4, and iNOS.
1454 11591119 Furthermore, ICAM-1(+/+) NOD mice showed an increase of IFN-gamma, interleukin (IL)-12p40 and IL-12p35 pancreatic mRNA levels, leading to an increased ratio of IFN-gamma: IL-4 and IL-12p40: IL-12p35 expression.
1455 11591119 In contrast, ICAM-1(-/-) NOD mice did not upregulate IFN-gamma or IL-12p40 gene expression but maintained IL-4 and increased IL-12p35 gene expression.

1459 11592833 Studies of animals with spontaneous autoimmune diabetes have revealed that autoreactive T cells that mediate islet beta-cell destruction belong to the Th1 subset (producing IL-2 and IFN-gamma), whereas regulatory T cells are Th2 type (producing IL-4 and IL-10).

1483 11602650 Although PDG does not block interleukin (IL)-2 production, it efficiently inhibits interleukin-2 receptor alpha-chain (IL-2Ralpha) expression, and this results in a disruption of the IL-2/IL-2R signaling pathway, on which a great part of the regulation of T cell activation depends.
1484 11602650 PDG blocks T cell differentiation into effector helper T cells secreting interferon-gamma and IL-4 as well as into effector cytotoxic T lymphocytes expressing perforin, which is at least in part resulting from inhibition of the IL-2/IL-2R signaling.
1485 11602650 In conclusion, our results demonstrate that PDG has a unique mode of action, namely, that it blocks T cell activation by inhibiting primarily IL-2Ralpha expression in the IL-2/IL-2R signaling, and show that this compound represents a promising immunosuppressant candidate for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
1486 11603866 NKT cells respond to various external stimuli by an early burst of cytokines, including IL-4 and IFN-gamma.

1503 11717448 To test the feasibility of muscle-directed gene therapy to prevent type 1 diabetes, we developed recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors containing murine cDNAs for immunomodulatory cytokines IL-4 or IL-10.
1504 11717448 Skeletal muscle transduction of female NOD mice with IL-10, but not IL-4, completely abrogated diabetes. rAAV-IL-10 transduction attenuated the production of insulin autoantibodies, quantitatively reduced pancreatic insulitis, maintained islet insulin content, and altered splenocyte cytokine responses to mitogenic stimulation.

1507 11726533 The vitamin D hormone stimulates transforming growth factor TGFbeta-1 and interleukin 4 (IL-4) production, which in turn may suppress inflammatory T cell activity.
1508 11754351 Lower expression levels in beta-cells support immune regulation resulting in induction of autoreactive, regulatory cells characterized by increased IL-4 production (Th2-like), whereas higher levels favor Th1-like autoaggressive responses characterized by augmented IFN-gamma generation.
1509 11755473 Although the cytokine TGF-beta is secreted from regulatory T-cells (Th3), and is related to oral tolerance, the interleukin-2 (IL-2, Th1)/IL-4 (Th2) ratio in the patient group was significantly elevated (P<0.001), which might indicate that the oral tolerance is impaired in patients.
1510 11756326 Previous studies using semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) have demonstrated that islet xenograft rejection in mice is dominated by Th2-associated cytokines, i.e., interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10.
1511 11756326 By day 1, mRNA expression levels of IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-12p40, interferon-gamma, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were already induced in the lymph nodes.
1512 11757078 NKT cells are a subset of T cells that are distinct in being able to produce cytokines such as IL-4 and IFN-gamma extremely rapidly following activation.
1513 11781358 We also report low numbers of resting CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells in IMD patients, a subset of T cells shown to have important immunoregulatory functions in abrogating autoimmunities in 3-day thymectomized experimental mice.
1514 11781358 Whereas a biased Th1 to Th2 cytokine profile has been suggested to underlie the pathogenesis of IMD in both species, we found defective production of IFN-gamma in our patients after in vitro stimulation of their PBMCs by phorbol-myristate acetate and ionomycin and both IFN-gamma and IL-4 deficiencies in V(alpha)24(+) NK T-enriched cells.
1515 11860706 Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4 or CD152) is a strong negative regulator of T cell activity.
1516 11860706 Like CD28 (a positive regulator) it binds to B7-1 and B7-2, and there is no known natural selective ligand.
1517 11860706 However, a single amino acid substitution in B7-1 (W88 > A; denoted B7-1wa) abrogates binding to CD28 but not to CTLA-4.
1518 11860706 Interferon-gamma and interleukin-4 were both depressed, arguing against a Th2 bias.
1519 11861793 The pancreatic levels of the Th1 cytokines interleukin (IL)-12, IL-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and interferon (IFN)-gamma were increased in both MLDS-induced and spontaneous NOD diabetes, an effect prevented by nicotine treatment.
1520 11861793 Nicotine treatment increased the pancreatic levels of the Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-10.
1521 11872661 In addition, Th1-type cells (gamma-interferon-positive and IL-2(+)) were decreased the most, and Th2-type cells (IL-4(+) and IL-10(+)) and Th3-type cells (transforming growth factor-beta1(+)) were increased the most in islet grafts of sirolimus and IL-2-treated mice.
1522 11877486 We report here that CD4(+) and CD4(-)CD8(-) (double negative [DN]) NKT cell subsets represent functionally distinct lineages with marked differences in their profile of cytokine secretion and pattern of expression of chemokine receptors, integrins, and NK receptors.
1523 11877486 CD4(+) NKT cells were the exclusive producers of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 upon primary stimulation, whereas DN NKT cells had a strict Th1 profile and prominently expressed several NK lineage receptors.
1524 11899074 The delivery of transgenes capable of interfering with antigenic recognition and/or cell death [e.g., Fas ligand (FasL), Bcl-2, Bcl-XL] as well as imparting tolerance/immunoregulation [e.g., interleukin(IL)-4, IL-10, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta], or cytoprotection [e.g., heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), catalase, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD)] may prevent recurrent type 1 diabetes in islet transplantation and offer a promising form of immunotherapy.
1525 11907079 First, they are restricted by a nonclassical MHC class I molecule, CD1d, which presents glycolipids; second, their TCR repertoire is very limited.
1526 11907079 After stimulation by their TCR, NKT cells rapidly release large amounts of cytokines, such as IL-4 and IFN-gamma.
1527 11907079 Analysis of cytokine production by NKT cells from splanchnic lymph nodes reveals that they produce at least as much IL-4 as IFN-gamma, in contrast to NKT cells from other organs (spleen, liver, and peripheral lymph nodes), which produce much more IFN-gamma than IL-4.

1531 11940121 Bone marrow cells from NOD.H-2k mice cultured in vitro with GM-CSF and IL-4 generated a reduced yield of dendritic cells when compared to bone marrow cells from B10.H-2k mice.
1532 11940121 This aberrant response to GM-CSF and IL-4 was unique to the NOD.H-2k background when compared to bone marrow cells from other H-2k congenic strains, and coculture experiments showed that it was cell-autonomous.

1535 11956018 In this paper, DC differentiation in NOD mice was investigated in vitro using bone marrow-derived progenitors (BM-DC) in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4 or spleen-derived progenitors in the presence of GM-CSF and early acting cytokines such as Flt-3L and IL-6 (SPL-DC).
1536 11992736 In the direct PLNA, diclofenac also increased the percent of T cells in the PLN with activated phenotypes (CD44(high)CD62L(low) and CD44(high)CD62L(high)).
1537 11992736 Finally, an increase in the intracellular level of IL-4, but not INFgamma, was detected in CD4(+) PLN cells following the injection of diclofenac mixed with TNP-OVA.
1538 11994455 In GM-CSF/IL-4-supplemented bone marrow cultures, DC developed in significantly greater numbers from NOD than from NOR, BALB/c, and BL/6 mice.
1539 11994455 Likewise, DC developed in greater numbers from sorted (lineage(-)IL-7Ralpha(-)SCA-1(-)c-kit(+)) NOD myeloid progenitors in either GM-CSF/IL-4 or GM-CSF/stem cell factor (SCF)/TNF-alpha. [(3)H]TdR incorporation indicated that the increased generation of NOD DC was due to higher levels of myeloid progenitor proliferation.
1540 11994455 Consistent with these findings, NOD and NOR mice had increased numbers of DC in blood and thymus and NOD had an increased proportion of the putative myeloid DC (CD11c(+)CD11b(+)) subset within spleen.

1544 11994496 We examined the expression of IFN-gamma, a characteristic Th1 cytokine, and IL-4, a characteristic Th2 cytokine, in islet infiltrates of female and male NOD mice at various ages.
1545 11994496 IFN-gamma was significantly higher in young females, whereas IL-4 was higher in young males.
1546 11994496 CD4(+) T cells isolated from lymph nodes of female mice and activated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 Abs produced more IFN-gamma, but less IL-4, as compared with males.
1547 11994496 Treatment of CD4(+) T cells with estrogen significantly increased, whereas testosterone treatment decreased the IL-12-induced production of IFN-gamma.
1548 11994496 We then examined whether the change in IL-12-induced IFN-gamma production by treatment with sex hormones was due to the regulation of STAT4 activation.
1549 11994496 We found that estrogen treatment increased the phosphorylation of STAT4 in IL-12-stimulated T cells.
1550 11994496 We conclude that the increased susceptibility of female NOD mice to the development of autoimmune diabetes could be due to the enhancement of the Th1 immune response through the increase of IL-12-induced STAT4 activation by estrogen.

1565 11999343 In the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse, the T helper (Th)1-type inflammatory cytokines interferon (IFN)-gamma and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha play a critical role in the development of type 1 diabetes, whereas the Th2-type anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10 operate counterregulatory.
1566 11999343 Therefore, we used islets to study ex vivo effects of MLD-STZ and in vitro effects of STZ on IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-4, and IL-10 on both levels of protein-producing cells and the mRNA expression, as well as the mRNA expression of the Th3-type cytokine transforming growth factor TGF-beta1.

1585 12021086 Natural killer T (NKT) cells, which comprise a minor subpopulation of T cells, play a critical role in immunoregulation as a result of a rapid burst of IL-4 and IFN-gamma secretion.
1586 12021086 Alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) specifically binds to NKT cells in a CD1-dependent manner and stimulates these cells to proliferate and to produce various cytokines, including IFN-gamma, IL-4, and IL-10.
1587 12021086 This protection is associated with elevated IL-4 and IL-10 in the spleen and pancreas of protected female NOD mice.

1594 12021108 Cytokine secretion (TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10) was measured in the supernatants of the cultures stimulated with 21 overlapping preproinsulin peptides as well as proinsulin and insulin.
1595 12021108 In Ab+ individuals our results reveal higher IL-4 levels in CD45RO+ memory cells and higher IL-5 levels in CD45RA+ naive/resting cells, while higher IL-2 production was found in PBMCs.

1600 12086941 Continuous addition of TX527 impaired interleukin (IL)-4 and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-driven DC differentiation as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-induced maturation into Th1-promoting DC (DC1), as characterized by marked changes in DC morphology and abrogation of IL-12p70 release upon CD40 ligation.
1601 12086941 Continuously TX527-treated DCs significantly inhibited T-cell proliferation and blocked IFN-gamma, IL-10, but not IL-13 production, whereas DCs treated during maturation failed to inhibit T-cell proliferation but affected IL-10 and IFN-gamma production.
1602 12086942 Immunological characterization and therapeutic activity of an altered-peptide ligand, NBI-6024, based on the immunodominant type 1 diabetes autoantigen insulin B-chain (9-23) peptide.
1603 12086942 However, vaccinations with the APLs induced strong cellular responses, as measured by in vitro lymphocyte proliferation and Th2 cytokine production (i.e., interleukin [IL]-4 and IL-10, but not gamma-interferon [IFN-gamma]).
1604 12115623 We previously demonstrated that immunotherapy with dendritic cells (DC) prevented diabetes development in prediabetic NOD mice and that this effect was optimal when using a stimulatory DC population generated from bone marrow cells cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4.
1605 12115623 In this study, we have investigated the mechanism by which GM-CSF- and IL-4-cultured DC prevent diabetes in prediabetic NOD mice.
1606 12115623 Furthermore, sorted CD45RB(lo) CD25+ CD4+ T cells from the spleen of DC-treated mice produced high amounts of Th2 cytokines following anti-TCR stimulation, suggesting that these cells are responsible for the apparent Th2 shift.

1610 12145160 Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 25 patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, 10 patients with longstanding type 1 diabetes, and 35 healthy control subjects were examined for expression of the chemokine receptors CXCR4 (naive T-cells), CCR5 and CXCR3 (Th1 associated), and CCR3 and CCR4 (Th2 associated) on CD3+ lymphocytes.
1611 12145160 Furthermore, we analyzed chemokine serum levels (monocyte chemoattractant protein [MCP]-1, macrophage inflammatory protein [MIP]-1alpha, MIP-1beta, and RANTES [regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted]) and phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated cytokine secretion of Th1- (gamma-interferon [IFN-gamma] and tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha]) and Th2 (interleukin [IL]-4 and -10)-associated cytokines by PBMC.
1612 12145160 The PBMCs of patients with newly diagnosed but not with longstanding type 1 diabetes showed reduced expression of the Th1-associated chemokine receptors CCR5 (P < 0.001 vs. control subjects) and CXCR3 (P < 0.002 vs. control subjects).
1613 12145160 This reduction correlated with reduced IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha production of PBMCs after PHA stimulation and reversed 6-12 months after diagnosis to normal levels.
1614 12145160 CCR4 cells were reduced in both newly diagnosed and longstanding type 1 diabetic patients, which correlated to reduced PHA-stimulated IL-4 production.
1615 12145160 MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta levels were considerably elevated in a subgroup of patients with newly diagnosed diabetes.
1616 12145160 Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 25 patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, 10 patients with longstanding type 1 diabetes, and 35 healthy control subjects were examined for expression of the chemokine receptors CXCR4 (naive T-cells), CCR5 and CXCR3 (Th1 associated), and CCR3 and CCR4 (Th2 associated) on CD3+ lymphocytes.

1622 12145162 CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is expressed preferentially by CD4(+) T helper 1 (Th1) cells.
1623 12145162 In CCR5(-/-) mice, intragraft mRNA expression of interleukin-4 and -5 was increased, whereas that of interferon-gamma was decreased, corresponding to a Th2 pattern of T-cell activation in the target tissues compared with a Th1 pattern observed in controls.
1624 12165974 The IL-4R alpha chain acts as the high affinity binding chain and the principal signaling chain for IL-4; it also acts as the signaling chain for IL-13, but in this case the IL-13R alpha 1 chain conveys the bulk of the cytokine specificity.
1625 12165974 Thus, IL-4R alpha knock-out mice are unresponsive to both IL-4 and IL-13.
1626 12165974 The finding that the lack of IL-4R alpha chain protects TCR-HA, INS-HA double transgenic mice against diabetes, and death implies that either IL-4 or IL-13 plays a role in the progression of this disease.

1633 12182467 Benign insulitis with macrophages, B cells, CD4 > CD8 T cells and low levels of IL-2R, IL-2, IFN-gamma and IL-4 was seen in islets from the native pancreas and in long surviving pancreas isografts in mice that remained in remission.
1634 12182843 Supernatants from cultured splenocytes and peritoneal cells taken from Linomide-treated mice contained lower levels of TNFalpha, IL-1 beta, IFN gamma and IL-12 versus higher levels of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10 in comparison with supernatants from cultures of untreated mice.
1635 12210732 These effects are completely counteracted by the administration of IL-4, a Th2 protective cytokine; IL-10, another putative Th2 cytokine, exerts direct effects upon endothelial cell (EC) function, as shown by the increase of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mRNA transcripts and by the release of endothelial NO which, in turn, exert vasodilatory effects; moreover, this cytokine significantly upregulates adhesion molecules on endothelia.
1636 12210732 On the other hand, IL-1beta, a Th1 proinflammatory cytokine, dramatically increases nitrite and nitrate levels, as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) transcripts and also upregulates islet ICAM-1 expression as well as circulating ICAM-1 levels.
1637 12235110 Defects in IL-4-producing CD1d-autoreactive NKT cells have been implicated in numerous Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases, including diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and systemic sclerosis.
1638 12235110 Particular attention has been focused on autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) because nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice and humans with IDDM are both reported to express severe deficiencies in the frequency and Th2 functions of NKT cells.
1639 12235110 We have now devised a direct, highly specific CD1d tetramer-based methodology to test whether humans with IDDM have associated NKT cell defects.
1640 12235110 Surprisingly, although we find marked and stable differences in NKT cells between individuals, our study of IDDM patients and healthy controls, including discordant twin pairs, demonstrates that NKT cell frequency and IL-4 production are conserved during the course of IDDM.

1645 12369724 Current evidence indicates that islet beta cell-specific autoreactive T cells belong to a T helper 1 (Th1) subset, and these Th1 cells and their characteristic cytokine products, IFNgamma and IL-2, are believed to cause islet inflammation (insulitis) and beta cell destruction.
1646 12369724 Approaches that attempt to correct underlying immunoregulatory defects in autoimmune diabetes include interventions aimed at i) deleting beta cell autoreactive Th1 cells and cytokines (IFNgamma and IL-2) and/or ii) increasing regulatory Th2 cells and/or Th3 cells and their cytokine products (IL-4, IL-10 and TGFbeta1).
1647 12390307 Protection induced by CTB-insulin was transferred to naive recipients by splenic CD4+ T cells.
1648 12390307 Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis of recipients' pancreatic glands revealed an increase of TGF-beta and IL-10 transcripts after donor mice tolerization, while levels of IFN-gamma and IL-4 RNAs were unchanged.
1649 12390307 Higher amounts of IL-4 and IFN-gamma were noticed in pancreatic lymph nodes of tolerized mice upon in vitro stimulation.

1653 12401728 IL4R encodes a subunit of the interleukin-4 receptor, a molecule critical to T-helper cell development.
1654 12401728 In particular, we have identified a specific haplotype that appears to be protective and observed that this protective effect is strongest among individuals not carrying the HLA DR3/DR4 genotype (which confers the strongest genetic risk for type 1 diabetes).
1655 12430864 NKT rapidly releases IL-4 and IFN-gamma at high level when activated.
1656 12438968 The failure of IL-4 expressing islets was not associated with cellular toxicity of rAAV or impairment of glucose-stimulated insulin release in vitro.
1657 12439784 IL-4-Ig was found to downregulate LPS-induced IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha production.
1658 12439784 Expression was downregulated for both Th1-specific cytokine IFN-gamma and the Th2-specific cytokine IL-10.
1659 12439784 Interestingly, infiltration increased in the islets of IL-4-Ig-treated animals, and therefore did not correlate with the decreased IFN-gamma expression.
1660 12439784 IL-4-Ig was found to downregulate LPS-induced IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha production.

1664 12444170 In this study, we demonstrate that increased IFN-gamma, decreased IL-4, and decreased IL-10 production in NOD T cells is CD4 T cell intrinsic.
1665 12444170 NOD CD4(+) T cells purified and stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 Abs generated greater IFN-gamma, less IL-4, and less IL-10 than B6.G7 CD4(+) T cells.
1666 12444170 Moreover, the increased IFN-gamma:IL-4 cytokine ratio was independent of the genetic background of APCs, since NOD CD4(+) T cells generated increased IFN-gamma and decreased IL-4 compared with B6.G7 CD4(+) T cells, regardless of whether they were stimulated with NOD or B6.G7 APCs.
1667 12444170 Cell cycle analysis showed that the cytokine differences were not due to cycle/proliferative differences between NOD and B6.G7, since stimulated CD4(+) T cells from both strains showed quantitatively identical entry into subsequent cell divisions (shown by CFSE staining), although NOD cells showed greater numbers of IFN-gamma-positive cells with each subsequent cell division.
1668 12444170 Moreover, 7-aminoactinomycin D and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine analysis showed indistinguishable entry into G(0)/G(1), S, and G(2)/M phases of the cell cycle for both NOD and B6.G7 CD4(+) cells, with both strains generating IFN-gamma predominantly in the S phase.

1687 12473243 Purified CD62L+CD4+ cells from CTB-insulin fed mice significantly reduced the capacity of diabetogenic T cells to transfer diabetes in syngeneic recipients.
1688 12473243 In vitro stimulated CD62L+CD4+ cells from the spleen of fed animals secreted lower amounts of IL-4 and IL-10 but comparable levels of TGFbeta than CD62L-cells.
1689 12473243 A reduced IFN-gamma production between the two cell subsets was specifically observed in CTB-insulin fed mice.
1690 12473243 Taken together, our results suggest that L-selectin and alpha4-integrin have distinct but complementary roles in the generation and function of regulatory CD4+ T cells following CTB-insulin administration.
1691 12500188 These observations were further confirmed by the results of CD4(+) enzyme-linked immunospot assay for interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-4 and intracellular cytokine staining of IFN-gamma producing CD8(+) cells.
1692 12502802 A comparison of the frequency of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-producing CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in peripheral blood by ELISpot assay did not reveal any correlation between viral clearance and T-cell responses.
1693 12502802 In addition, analyses of IFN-gamma, IFN-alpha, and interleukin-4 mRNA levels in liver biopsies, presumably indicative of intrahepatic T-cell responses, revealed no distinct pattern in these chimpanzees with respect to infection outcome.
1694 12570678 In particular, we have successfully used this approach to deliver neutralizing cytokine receptors such as interferon gamma (IFNgamma)-receptor-Ig fusion proteins or anti-inflammatory cytokines such as transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta1) and interleukin 4 (IL-4).
1695 12570678 Intramuscular gene therapy is effective in protecting against several experimental autoimmune diseases including insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
1696 12570826 Most notably, repeated administration of alpha-GalCer to mice favors the generation of conventional T lymphocytes producing T helper (Th) type 2 cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-10.
1697 12573055 DC infected with any of the Ad vectors expressed higher levels of CD40, CD80, and CD86 molecules than uninfected DC and Ad.IL-4 DC produced IL-4 after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon (IFN)-gamma stimulation.
1698 12573055 Ad-infected DC efficiently stimulated allogeneic T cells, and cultures of T cells with Ad.IL-4 DC produced lower levels of IFN-gamma and marginally higher levels of IL-4.
1699 12573055 The intrapancreatic IFN-gamma:IL-4 or IFN-gamma:IL-10 cytokine ratios were lower in 10-week-old mice treated with Ad.IL-4 DC, and these mice were significantly protected from disease.
1700 12573055 DC infected with any of the Ad vectors expressed higher levels of CD40, CD80, and CD86 molecules than uninfected DC and Ad.IL-4 DC produced IL-4 after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon (IFN)-gamma stimulation.
1701 12573055 Ad-infected DC efficiently stimulated allogeneic T cells, and cultures of T cells with Ad.IL-4 DC produced lower levels of IFN-gamma and marginally higher levels of IL-4.
1702 12573055 The intrapancreatic IFN-gamma:IL-4 or IFN-gamma:IL-10 cytokine ratios were lower in 10-week-old mice treated with Ad.IL-4 DC, and these mice were significantly protected from disease.
1703 12573055 DC infected with any of the Ad vectors expressed higher levels of CD40, CD80, and CD86 molecules than uninfected DC and Ad.IL-4 DC produced IL-4 after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon (IFN)-gamma stimulation.
1704 12573055 Ad-infected DC efficiently stimulated allogeneic T cells, and cultures of T cells with Ad.IL-4 DC produced lower levels of IFN-gamma and marginally higher levels of IL-4.
1705 12573055 The intrapancreatic IFN-gamma:IL-4 or IFN-gamma:IL-10 cytokine ratios were lower in 10-week-old mice treated with Ad.IL-4 DC, and these mice were significantly protected from disease.
1706 12574327 We show that a Th1 (IFN-gamma) pancreatic environment greatly accelerates the recruitment of adoptively transferred islet-specific CD4 T cells to the islets and also accelerates the onset of diabetes.
1707 12574327 Increased recruitment to the islets was also observed in the presence of IL-4, but to a lesser extent than in the presence of IFN-gamma, and this lesser increase in the rate of recruitment did not accelerate diabetes onset within the time period examined.
1708 12594256 HSP60 strongly stimulated DC for maturation and release of TNF-alpha, IL-12, and IL-1 beta.
1709 12594256 However, HSP60 elicited only a weak IL-10 response in DC suggesting a Th1 bias.
1710 12594256 Again, a Th1 bias was noted in that cocultures of allogeneic T cells and HSP60-treated DC released IFN-gamma but only small amounts of IL-10 and no detectable IL-4.
1711 12594256 Signaling via Toll-like receptor 4 was involved in HSP60-induced cytokine release and maturation because DC of C3H/HeJ mice with a mutant Toll-like receptor 4 showed deficient response to HSP60.
1712 12594256 HSP60 was found to rapidly activate the mitogen-activated protein kinases p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase as well as I kappa B in DC.
1713 12594305 Skewing their cytokine production from a Th1 (primarily IFN-gamma) to a Th2 (primarily IL-4 and IL-10) pattern is a widely proposed approach to dampen the pathogenicity of autoreactive diabetogenic T cells.
1714 12594305 Murine CD4 T cells are characterized by a reciprocal relationship between the production of IFN-gamma and expression of the beta-chain component of its receptor (IFN-gamma RB).
1715 12594305 Thus, NOD mice constitutively expressing a CD2 promoter-driven IFN-gamma RB transgene in all T cells are Th1-deficient.
1716 12594852 The imbalance of Th1/Th2 subsets is an important pathogenic mechanism for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
1717 12594852 We hypothesize that exogenous CGRP administration during insulitis may modulate the balance of Th lymphocytes, thereby providing a therapeutic intervention for IDDM.
1718 12594852 The effect of CGRP gene transfer on pathogenesis of IDDM was observedin autoimmune diabetic C57BL mice induced by multiple low-dose streptozotocin (MLDS) administration.
1719 12594852 CGRP gene transfer significantly inhibited T cell proliferation and secretion of the Th1 cytokine IFN-gamma, increased the level of the Th2 cytokine IL-10, but had no effect on IL-4 and TGF-beta1 secretion.
1720 12594852 CGRP gene transfer also decreased IL-12 and IFN-gamma levels in peritoneal effusion.
1721 12594852 Our results demonstrate that CGRP gene transfer selectively suppresses the pro-inflammatory Th1 subsets and promote anti-inflammatory Th2 subsets, resulting in amelioration of beta cell destruction and reduction of IDDM occurrence in mice with MLDS-induced diabetes.

1723 12628339 The combined administration of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) expression plasmids has demonstrated synergistic effects on the prevention of autoimmune diabetes.
1724 12628339 To this end, we constructed a co-expression 'chimeric' plasmid, pCMV-IL4-IL10, in which the expression of IL-4 and IL-10 was driven by two separate CMV immediate early promoters by using the biodegradable polymer, poly[alpha-(4-aminobutyl)-L-glycolic acid] (PAGA) as a gene carrier to optimize gene delivery.

1747 12653847 Anti-cytokine autoantibodies in autoimmunity: preponderance of neutralizing autoantibodies against interferon-alpha, interferon-omega and interleukin-12 in patients with thymoma and/or myasthenia gravis.
1748 12653847 We tested for both binding and neutralizing autoantibodies to a range of human cytokines, including interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-18, interferon-alpha2 (IFN-alpha2), IFN-omega, IFN-beta, IFN-gamma, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta1) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), in plasmas or sera.
1749 12653847 With two notable exceptions described below, we found only occasional, mostly low-titre, non-neutralizing antibodies, mainly to GM-CSF; also to IL-10 in pemphigoid.
1750 12653847 Strikingly, however, high-titre, mainly IgG, autoantibodies to IFN-alpha2, IFN-omega and IL-12 were common at diagnosis in patients with late-onset myasthenia gravis (LOMG+), thymoma (T) but no MG (TMG-) and especially with both thymoma and MG together (TMG+).
1751 12653847 The antibodies recognized other closely related type I IFN-alpha subtypes, but rarely the distantly related type I IFN-beta, and never (detectably) the unrelated type II IFN-gamma.
1752 12653847 Antibodies to IL-12 showed a similar distribution to those against IFN-alpha2, although prevalences were slightly lower; correlations between individual titres against each were so modest that they appear to be entirely different specificities.
1753 12657834 A short-term administration of antibodies against ICAM-1/LFA-1 or CD8 molecules during a critical period of younger age resulted in complete protection of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice.
1754 12657834 Furthermore, semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis of cytokines showed that T cells from anti-CD8-treated mice could express IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-beta1 in response to islet antigen.
1755 12657834 In contrast, T cells from anti-ICAM-1/LFA-1-treated mice expressed IFN-gamma, IL-10 and TGF-beta1 but not IL-4.

1759 12711326 Prevention of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice by troglitazone is associated with modulation of ICAM-1 expression on pancreatic islet cells and IFN-gamma expression in splenic T cells.
1760 12711326 Thiazolidinediones acting as PPAR-gamma agonists are a new generation of oral antidiabetics addressing insulin resistance as a main feature of type-2 diabetes.
1761 12711326 To investigate whether TGZ acts by affecting the ICAM-1/LFA-1 pathway and/or the Th1/Th2 cytokine balance in NOD mice, we analysed the IL-1beta-induced ICAM-1 expression on islet-cells and the LFA-1, CD25, IL-2, IFN-gamma, IL-4, and IL-10 expression on splenocytes.
1762 12711326 After 200 days of oral TGZ administration, islet cells from TGZ-treated NOD mice showed a reduced ICAM-1 expression in response to the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta.
1763 12711326 The expression of the ligand LFA-1 on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cells was comparable to that of placebo- and untreated controls.
1764 12748907 Association and interaction of the IL4R, IL4, and IL13 loci with type 1 diabetes among Filipinos.
1765 12748907 In the search for genes involved in type 1 diabetes (T1D), other than the well-established risk alleles at the human leukocyte antigen loci, we have investigated the association and interaction of polymorphisms in genes involved in the IL4/IL13 pathway in a sample of 90 Filipino patients with T1D and 94 controls.
1766 12748907 We found that both individual SNPs (IL4R L389L; odds ratio [OR] 0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17-0.67; P=.001) and specific haplotypes both in IL4R (OR 0.10; 95% CI 0-0.5; P=.001) and for the five linked IL4 and IL13 SNPs (OR 3.47; P=.004) were strongly associated with susceptibility to T1D.
1767 12748907 Since IL4 and IL13 both serve as ligands for a receptor composed, in part, of the IL4R alpha chain, we looked for potential epistasis between polymorphisms in the IL4R locus on chromosome 16p11 and the five SNPs in the IL4 and IL13 loci on chromosome 5q31 and found, through use of a logistic-regression model, significant gene-gene interactions (P=.045, corrected for multiple comparisons by permutation analysis).
1768 12748907 Our data suggest that the risk for T1D is determined, in part, by polymorphisms within the IL4R locus, including promoter and coding-sequence variants, and by specific combinations of genotypes at the IL4R and the IL4 and IL13 loci.

1789 12763479 TCR-activated NOD splenic CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are more resistant to AICD than control strain C57BL/6, BALB/c, and NOR T cells.
1790 12763479 NOR CD4+ but not CD8+ T cells are resistant to TCR-induced AICD.
1791 12763479 Whereas c-FLIP expression is reduced in activated T cells from control strains, it persists in activated NOD CD8+ T cells and is accompanied by diminished activity of caspase-3 and -8.
1792 12763479 IL-4 reduces this c-FLIP expression and increases caspase-3 and -8 activity in activated NOD CD8+ T cells.
1793 12763479 Moreover, IL-4 and CD28 costimulation restores the susceptibility of NOD CD8+ T cells to AICD, and this is associated with increased expression of CD25, CD95, CD95L, and TNFR2.
1794 12763479 TCR-activated NOD splenic CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are more resistant to AICD than control strain C57BL/6, BALB/c, and NOR T cells.

1799 12765955 Reduced insulitis in L-AGE versus H-AGE mice (P < 0.01) was marked by GAD- and insulin-unresponsive pancreatic interleukin (IL)-4-positive CD4+ cells compared with the GAD- and insulin-responsive interferon (IFN)-gamma-positive T-cells from H-AGE mice (P < 0.005).
1800 12765955 Splenocytes from L-AGE mice consisted of GAD- and insulin-responsive IL-10-positive CD4+ cells compared with the IFN-gamma-positive T-cells from H-AGE mice (P < 0.005).
1801 12817032 NOD recipient mice immunized with pDNA encoding a glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65)-IgFc fusion protein (JwGAD65), IL-4 (JwIL4), and IL-10 (pIL10) exhibited an increased number of intact pro-islets expressing high levels of insulin 15 wk posttransplant, relative to NOD recipient mice immunized with pDNA encoding a hen egg lysozyme (HEL)-IgFc fusion protein (JwHEL)+JwIL4 and pIL10 or left untreated.
1802 12817032 Efficient protection of pro-islet grafts correlated with a marked reduction in GAD65-specific IFN-gamma reactivity and an increase in IL-10-secreting T cells.
1803 12887099 I-A.Y secreted IL-4, TGF-beta and IL-10 while I-A.D T cell line secreted IL-10 and IFN-gamma.
1804 12941768 In addition, the densities of IL-1 alpha- and IL-4-positive cells detected by immunohistochemistry and IL-4 mRNA-expressing cells evaluated by in situ hybridization were increased in the lamina propria in patients with type 1 diabetes and normal mucosa.
1805 12941768 Instead, the densities of IL-2, gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma), and tumor necrosis factor alpha-positive cells, the density of IFN-gamma mRNA positive cells, and the amounts of IFN-gamma mRNA detected by RT-PCR correlated with the degree of celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes.
1806 14500690 Islet allograft rejection in nonobese diabetic mice involves the common gamma-chain and CD28/CD154-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
1807 14500690 In the present study we tested the hypothesis that islet allograft survival in the diabetic NOD mouse is determined by the interplay of diverse islet-specific T cell subsets whose activation is regulated by CD28/CD154 costimulatory signals and the common gamma-chain (gammac; a shared signaling element by receptors for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21).
1808 14500690 We found that common gammac blockade is remarkably effective in blocking the onset and the ongoing autoimmune diabetes, whereas CD28/CD154 blockade has no effect in suppressing the ongoing diabetes.
1809 14500690 However, CD28/CD154 blockade completely blocks the alloimmune-mediated islet rejection.
1810 14500690 Also, a subset of memory-like T cells in the NOD mice is resistant to CD28/CD154 blockade, but is sensitive to the common gammac blockade.
1811 14500690 Nonetheless, neither common gammac blockade nor CD28/CD154 blockade can prevent islet allograft rejection in diabetic NOD mice.
1812 14500690 Treatment of diabetic NOD recipients with CD28/CD154 blockade plus gammac blockade markedly prolongs islet allograft survival compared with the controls.
1813 14500690 We concluded that the effector mechanisms in diabetic NOD hosts are inherently complex, and rejection in this model involves CD28/CD154/gammac-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
1814 14508150 The insulin/glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) regimen suppresses the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, macrophage migration inhibitory factor and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, and free radicals; and enhances the synthesis of endothelial nitric oxide and anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-4 and interleukin-10.
1815 14530324 CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells showed a higher proliferation and produced more IFN-gamma, but less IL-4 and IL-10, whereas CD4(+)CD25(+) T suppressor cells produced significantly lower levels of IL-10 in 16- compared with 8-wk-old NOD mice.
1816 14530324 An increased percentage of CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells expressing CD54 was present in 16-wk-old and in diabetic NOD, but not in BALB/c mice.
1817 14530324 Costimulation via CD54 increased the proliferation of CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells from 16-, but not 8-wk-old NOD mice, and blocking CD54 prevented their proliferation, consistent with the role of CD54 in diabetes development.
1818 14561205 These regulatory T cells produce down-regulatory cytokines such as IL4, IL10 and TGFbeta, a Th2 / Th3 cytokine pattern.
1819 14563017 Functional studies using monoclonal antibodies indicate that the CD72c allele of NOD can serve as a positive regulator of B cell responses both as a single signal and in synergy with BCR or IL-4 stimulation.
1820 14568923 Thymic-derived dysregulated tolerance has been suggested to occur in type 1 diabetes via impaired generation of CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory cells, leading to autoimmune beta cell destruction.
1821 14568923 In this study, we demonstrate that Notch3 expression is a characteristic feature of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells.
1822 14568923 The failure to develop the disease is associated with an increase of CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory cells, accumulating in lymphoid organs, in pancreas infiltrates and paralleled by increased expression of IL-4 and IL-10.
1823 14568923 Accordingly, CD4(+) T cells from Notch3-transgenic mice inhibit the development of hyperglycemia and insulitis when injected into streptozotocin-treated wild-type mice and display in vitro suppressive activity.
1824 14592922 These cells, transduced with retroviral vectors to drive expression of various "regulatory proteins" such as IL-4, IL-10, IL-12p40, and anti-TNF scFv, deliver these immunoregulatory proteins to the inflamed lesions, providing therapy for experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE), collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), and nonobese diabetic mice (NOD).
1825 14609217 First, gene microarray analyses showed that alpha-GalCer treatment decreases interleukin (IL)16 and increases IL10 and MIP1beta gene expression in the spleen.
1826 14609217 Anti-IL16 antibody treatment protects NOD mice against insulitis and T1D, and neutralization of MIP1beta abrogates IL4 induced protection from T1D.
1827 14609217 By controlling the expression and activity of IL16 and MIP1beta alpha-GalCer treatment may modulate the number, localization and function of NKT cells and regulate susceptibility to T1D.
1828 14609223 CD4+ lymphocytes with specificity for insulin can be induced by immunization with the insulin B chain via the oral route or by DNA vaccination.
1829 14609223 In comparison to non-regulatory insulin B-specific cell lines, they produce high amounts of interleukin (IL)4 and IL10, whereas interferon (IFN)gamma and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha levels are comparable.
1830 14609223 We propose that this is achieved by modulation of antigen presenting cells that lose the ability to propagate aggressive responses after exposure to IL4 or IL10 in vitro.
1831 14609223 In order to avoid induction of insulin B-specific autoaggressive T cells we have demonstrated that administration of IL4 or IL10 at the time of immunization is beneficial and therefore should be part of a potential future clinical application.
1832 14609223 CD4+ lymphocytes with specificity for insulin can be induced by immunization with the insulin B chain via the oral route or by DNA vaccination.
1833 14609223 In comparison to non-regulatory insulin B-specific cell lines, they produce high amounts of interleukin (IL)4 and IL10, whereas interferon (IFN)gamma and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha levels are comparable.
1834 14609223 We propose that this is achieved by modulation of antigen presenting cells that lose the ability to propagate aggressive responses after exposure to IL4 or IL10 in vitro.
1835 14609223 In order to avoid induction of insulin B-specific autoaggressive T cells we have demonstrated that administration of IL4 or IL10 at the time of immunization is beneficial and therefore should be part of a potential future clinical application.

1840 14632742 Passive transfer of flt-3L-derived dendritic cells delays diabetes development in NOD mice and associates with early production of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10 in the spleen of recipient mice.
1841 14632742 CD11c+/CD11b+dendritic cells (DC) with high levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II and co-stimulatory molecules have been derived from spleen cells cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) + flt-3L + interleukin (IL)-6 (flt-3L-DC).

1843 14632742 Moreover, protection against diabetes following injection of flt-3L-DC was associated with IL-4 and IL-10 production in the spleen and the pancreatic lymph nodes of recipient mice, indicating that this DC population is able to polarize the immune response towards a Th2 pathway.

1860 14634066 Expression of CD11c, CD40, CD54, and major histocompatibility complex I-A(g7) was reduced in cells cultured with additional DcR3.Fc, compared with DCs incubated with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and interleukin (IL)-4, indicating that DcR3 interferes with the differentiation and maturation of BM-DCs.
1861 14634066 One of the most striking effects of DcR3.Fc on the differentiation of DCs was the up-regulation of CD86 and down-regulation of CD80, suggesting a modulatory potential to skew the T cell response toward the T helper cell type 2 (Th2) phenotype.
1862 14634066 Moreover, the secretion of interferon-gamma from T cells cocultured with DcR3.Fc-treated DCs was profoundly suppressed, indicating that DcR3 exerts a Th1-suppressing effect on differentiating DCs.
1863 14634066 Data from two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight analysis show an up-regulation of some proteins-such as mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 beta, cyclin-dependent kinase 6, and signal-induced proliferation-associated gene 1-and a down-regulation of the IL-17 precursor; tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand family member-associated nuclear factor-kappaB activator-binding kinase 1; and Golgi S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine in cells treated with DcR3, further demonstrating its effect on DC differentiation and function.
1864 14679078 We correlated T and B cell responses to insulin in subjects with increased genetic risk (HLA-DRB1*04, DQB1*0302) for diabetes with or without islet autoantibodies (Ab+ subjects and controls, respectively) and HLA-matched patients.

1884 14688338 Third, the application of cholera toxin to the intact skin of NOD/Lt mice, with or without insulin B peptide 9-23, exacerbated insulitis and T lymphocyte-derived IFN-gamma and IL-4 production in the islets of Langerhans, resulting in an increased incidence and rate of onset of autoimmune diabetes.
1885 14712310 IL4R encodes a subunit of the interleukin-4 receptor, a molecule important for T-cell development and differentiation, and is a gene shown to be associated with immune-related diseases such as asthma and type I diabetes.
1886 14735147 Genetic association with type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been established for two chromosomal regions: HLA DQ/DR (IDDM1) and INS VNTR (IDDM2).
1887 14735147 Functional genetic polymorphisms of proinflammatory (T-helper-1: IL-2, IL-12 and IFN-gamma), anti-inflammatory (T-helper-2: IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10) and metabolic (IGF-I, VDR and INS) genes were determined in 206 Dutch simplex families with juvenile onset T1D and the results were analysed using the transmission disequilibrium test.
1888 14735147 Significantly increased transmission to T1D probands was observed for the loci IDDM1, IDDM2 and the vitamin D receptor.
1889 14735147 Although none of the other individual polymorphisms was associated with disease individually, the combination of T-helper-2 and metabolic/growth alleles IL-10(*)R2, IL-4(*)C, VDR(*)C and IGF-I(*)wt was found to be transmitted more frequently than expected (67%, P(c)=0.015).

1894 14741738 The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is important in Th1 immunity, macrophage activation, and apoptosis.
1895 14741738 Since they may be associated with beta-cell destruction during the development of type 1 diabetes, we investigated the role of the p38 MAPK pathway in female nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice.
1896 14741738 Phosphorylated p38 MAPK was observed immunohistochemically in CD4+ cells that had infiltrated into the islets and part of beta-cells, increasing in proportion to the severity of insulitis.
1897 14741738 Continuous oral administration of 0.08% FR167653, a specific p38 MAPK pathway inhibitor, significantly reduced the ex vivo production of interferon-gamma by splenic Th1 cells without affecting interleukin-4 production by Th2 cells.
1898 14741738 Treatment with FR167653 after insulitis had developed (i.e. from 10-30 weeks of age) also prevented diabetes, further suggesting that treatment with the p38 MAPK pathway inhibitor keeps insulitis benign in NOD mice, partly by inhibiting Th1 immunity.
1899 14741738 These findings suggest that p38 MAPK is a key mediator that switches insulitis from benign to destructive in the development of type 1 diabetes.
1900 14768037 These hallmarks of allergic asthma were associated with increased IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and eotaxin production in the lungs, as compared with BALB/c mice.
1901 14768049 However, in vivo neutralization of IL-4, IL-10 or TGF-beta using monoclonal antibodies did not prevent the inhibition whereas treatment with an antibody against the glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor abrogated the protection from disease.

1907 15024185 In this study, we showed that the mRNA expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, and GM-CSF, were increased while the anti-inflammatory cytokine, TGF-beta, decreased in the peritoneal macrophages of nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice.
1908 15024185 Surprisingly the expression of IFN-gamma and IL-2 by splenic CD4+ cells were lower in 5-week-old NOD mice as compared to the nonobese diabetic resistant (NOR) control mice, but their expression was higher in older NOD mice.
1909 15024185 The expression of IL-4 and IL-10 decreased in splenic CD4-positive lymphocytes.
1910 15024185 Splenic CD8-positive lymphocytes expressed increased levels of IFN-gamma and IL-10 but the latter decreased sharply when diabetes occurred.

1950 15096655 Here, we investigated the effects of MLD-STZ on the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-11 and the transcription factors nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB and activator protein (AP)-1, which are involved in gene activation of proinflammatory cytokines, and on the cytosolic kinase (IKK-alpha) of NF-kappaB inhibitor (IkappaB).
1951 15096655 Furthermore, the effect of recombinant human (rh)IL-11 on MLD-STZ diabetes, insulitis, cytokines, IKK-alpha, NF-kappaB, and AP-1 was analyzed in islets.
1952 15096655 Interleukin-11 prevented diabetes without affecting insulitis; attenuated TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma response; and stimulated IL-4 production and inhibited activation of IKK-alpha, NF-kappaB, and AP-1.
1953 15096655 In this process, the transcription factors NF-kappaB and AP-1 might play a key role.

2105 15225820 After culture with 20 ng/ml GM-CSF + 20 ng/ml IL-4 (8 days) followed by 1000 ng/ml LPS + 100 U/ml IFN-gamma (2 days), with or without 10(-8)M TX527, cells were counted and analyzed by FACS for MHC II, CD86, CD40 and CD54 expression within the CD11c(+) DC population.
2106 15225820 On CD11c(+) DCs, MHC II, CD86 and CD54 were significantly down-regulated and CD40 was twofold upregulated.
2107 15233546 The concentrations of Th1/Th2 related cytokines [interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-12 vs IL-4, IL-10] in the culture supernatants were measured by ELISA.
2108 15233546 PBMC from patients with GD after treatment produced significantly more IFN-gamma and IL-4 than PBMC from patients with GD before treatment, but there were no significant differences in calculated ratios of Th1 against Th2 cytokines between these two groups.
2109 15233546 When compared to PBMC from healthy controls, PBMC from patients with GD after treatment produced significantly more IL-4 and significantly less IL-12.

2123 15236752 Increased in vivo frequency of IA-2 peptide-reactive IFNgamma+/IL-4- T cells in type 1 diabetic subjects.
2124 15236752 When tested in a high resolution IFNgamma/IL-4 double color ELISPOT assay directly ex vivo, the number of IA-2-reactive IFNgamma producing cells was 17-fold higher in patients than in controls and IL-4 producing cells were not present.
2125 15236752 Increased in vivo frequency of IA-2 peptide-reactive IFNgamma+/IL-4- T cells in type 1 diabetic subjects.
2126 15236752 When tested in a high resolution IFNgamma/IL-4 double color ELISPOT assay directly ex vivo, the number of IA-2-reactive IFNgamma producing cells was 17-fold higher in patients than in controls and IL-4 producing cells were not present.
2127 15240727 The expression of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-12 was significantly decreased in the spleen of AG-treated, KRV-infected DR-BB rats compared with PBS-treated, KRV-infected control rats.
2128 15240727 Subsequent experiments revealed that AG treatment exerted its preventive effect in KRV-infected rats by maintaining the finely tuned immune balance normally disrupted by KRV, evidenced by a significant decrease in the expression of IFN-gamma, but not IL-4, and a decrease in Th1-type chemokine receptors CCR5, CXCR3, and CXCR4.
2129 15240727 We also found that iNOS inhibition by AG decreased the KRV-induced expression of MHC class II molecules and IL-2R alpha-chain, resulting in the suppression of T cell activation, evidenced by the decreased cytolytic activity of CD8(+) T cells.
2130 15270841 However, DNA vaccination encoding microbial or reporter antigens is known to induce specific long-lasting CD4 Th1 and strong cytolytic CD8 T cell responses.
2131 15270841 Simultaneously, DNA immunization induced GAD-specific CD4 T cells secreting interleukin (IL)-4 (P < 0.05) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta (P = 0.03).
2132 15270841 Furthermore, vaccination produced high amounts of Th2 cytokine-related IgG1 (P < 3.10(-3)) and TGF-beta-related IgG2b to GAD (P = 0.015).
2133 15270841 Surprisingly, diabetes onset was correlated positively with Th2-related GAD-specific IgG1 (P < 10(-4)) and TGF-beta-related IgG2b (P < 3.10(-3)).
2134 15322171 We now show that overexpression in NOD mice of CD1d-restricted TCR Valpha3.2(+)Vbeta9(+) NKT cells producing high levels of IFN-gamma but low amounts of IL-4 leads to prevention of type 1 diabetes, demonstrating a role for nonclassical CD1d-restricted NKT cells in the regulation of autoimmune diabetes.
2135 15331543 Strikingly, host autoreactive T-cells from mice with long-surviving islet grafts predominantly produce interleukin-4, whereas autoreactive T-cells from mice that rejected their islet grafts predominantly produce interferon-gamma.
2136 15368281 While CD4(+) T cells from NOD mice secreted IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10 in response to LACK, those from LACK-expressing Tg mice secreted reduced levels of cytokines.
2137 15374883 The prevention of GVHD in those recipients was associated with low-level production of inflammatory cytokines (ie, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha]), high-level production of anti-inflammatory cytokines (ie, interleukin 4 [IL-4] and IL-10), and confining of the donor CD8+ T-cell expansion to lymphohematopoietic tissues.

2139 15492021 In vivo apoptosis of diabetogenic T cells in NOD mice by IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha.
2140 15492021 BCG immunization sequentially induced the production of TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-4 by splenocytes, increased the expression of Fas(high) (Apo-1/CD95), Fas ligand (FasL, CD95L) and TNF receptor (TNFR) on T cells leading to T cell apoptosis.
2141 15492021 The primary role of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha in BCG-immunotherapy was demonstrated by (i) reversing the immune regulatory effect of BCG by in vivo treatment with neutralizing anti-cytokine antibodies, (ii) inducing effect similar to BCG by treatment with these cytokines.
2142 15492021 We show that Fas and TNF are two pathways in BCG-induced apoptosis of diabetogenic T cells, since in vitro blocking FasL or TNFR1 with antibody reduced T cell apoptosis and increased T cell proliferative response.
2143 15492021 Our results suggest that BCG down-regulates destructive autoimmunity by TNF-alpha/IFN-gamma-induced apoptosis of diabetogenic T cells through both Fas and TNF pathways.
2144 15518817 The failure to observe CVB replication within islets of young NOD mice has been proposed to be due to interferon expression by insulin-producing beta cells or lack of expression of the CVB receptor CAR.
2145 15518817 We found that CAR protein is detectable within islets of young and older NOD mice and that a CVB3 strain, which expresses murine IL-4, can replicate in islets.
2146 15542454 Nonspecific in vitro stimulation induced more CD-4+/IL-4+ cells in Brussels maintained.
2147 15542454 TSHR stimulation produced a significant increase in IL-4 secretion in six of nine local but one of seven Brussels mice.
2148 15542454 Nonspecific in vitro stimulation induced more CD-4+/IL-4+ cells in Brussels maintained.
2149 15542454 TSHR stimulation produced a significant increase in IL-4 secretion in six of nine local but one of seven Brussels mice.
2150 15557171 Immunization of NOD mice with autoantigens such as glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 221-235 peptide (p221) can induce Ag-specific CD4(+) T regulatory (Tr) cells.
2151 15557171 The N221(+) T cells produced IFN-gamma and IL-10, but very little IL-4, in response to p221 stimulation.
2152 15557171 This suppressive activity was cell contact-independent and was abrogated by Abs to IL-10 or IL-10R.
2153 15557171 Interestingly, IL-2 produced by other T cells present in the cell culture induced unactivated N221(+) T cells to exhibit regulatory activities involving production of IL-10.
2154 15606614 In diabetic mice, the levels of IL-12 and IFN-gamma in the lung, liver and spleen were lower than those in control animals on day 14 postinfection, while the opposite was true for IL-4 levels in the lung and liver.
2155 15606614 The expression pattern of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), in the two mice types was as for IL-12 and IFN-gamma.
2156 15613333 To understand this acceleration and protection process, we challenged 8- and 12-week-old NOD mice containing a disruption in interleukin-4 (IL-4) or gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) genes (NOD IL-4-/- and NOD IFN-gamma-/-, respectively) with a diabetogenic, pancreatropic Edwards strain of CVB4.
2157 15613333 The elimination of IL-4 did not alter the rate of insulitis or diabetes development in NOD mice, while the elimination of IFN-gamma delayed these events several weeks.
2158 15613333 CVB4 infection in 8-week-old mice only significantly accelerated the onset of diabetes in a subset of standard, but not IL-4- or IFN-gamma-deficient, NOD mice.

2205 15616624 The evidence that human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a T cell-mediated disease is well substantiated, and the use of transgenic technology to understand the Th1/Th2 paradigm will provide keys to attenuating pathogenic autoimmunity.
2206 15616624 Insofar as the role of Th1 cytokines in IDDM is concerned, interferon gamma is considered a critical player in the etiology, a proinflammatory role has been determined for IDDM, interleukin-2 is considered an "amplification" factor, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha presents dichotomous effects.
2207 15616624 Regarding the role of Th2 cytokines in IDDM, interleukin-4 is essential for immunoprotection and counterregulation of IDDM, and interleukin-10 plays immunoprotective and destructive roles.
2208 15616624 Of all the cytokines examined, IL-4 seems to be the likely candidate for preventing IDDM.

2213 15621575 Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)-derived peptide protects against diabetes in NOD mice.
2214 15621575 Here, we report the significance of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) peptide as a tool for the prevention of type 1 diabetes.
2215 15621575 Female NOD mice were immunized with a subcutaneous injection of IGF-1, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), insulin or IGF-1-derived peptides (residues 8-23, 24-41 or 50-70) in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) or with IFA only as the control group at 4 weeks of age, and observed up to 36-37 weeks of age.
2216 15621575 Diabetes onset was significantly suppressed and delayed in the IGF-1 group as compared to the GAD, insulin and control groups (p<0.05), and it was significantly suppressed and delayed in the (50-70)IGF-1 group as compared to the (8-23)IGF-1 and control groups (p<0.02).
2217 15621575 Although the degree of insulitis in all treated mice was not significantly different, a significant number of IL-4-producing cells in response to IGF-1 peptides were detected in (50-70)IGF-1-treated mice in intracellular cytokine assay.
2218 15660293 No evidence of association or interaction between the IL4RA, IL4, and IL13 genes in type 1 diabetes.
2219 15660293 Gene-gene interaction, albeit only marginally significant, has recently been reported for the interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 genes (IL4 and IL13) with the interleukin-4 receptor A gene (IL4RA), contributing to the susceptibility of type 1 diabetes (T1D).
2220 15660293 No evidence of association or interaction between the IL4RA, IL4, and IL13 genes in type 1 diabetes.
2221 15660293 Gene-gene interaction, albeit only marginally significant, has recently been reported for the interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 genes (IL4 and IL13) with the interleukin-4 receptor A gene (IL4RA), contributing to the susceptibility of type 1 diabetes (T1D).
2222 15667574 Aberrant regulation of interleukin-12 receptor beta2 chain on type 1 cytokine-stimulated T lymphocytes in type 1 diabetes.
2223 15667574 We studied, in T1D, type 1 and 2 cytokine-induced expression of the interleukin-12 receptor beta2 chain (IL-12Rbeta2 chain), which plays a critical role in regulating T-cell polarization.
2224 15667574 Peripheral blood lymphocytes from children with newly diagnosed T1D (n=10; mean age 10 years), from children with longstanding T1D (n=8; mean age 12.9 years) and from healthy children (n=15; mean age 11.5 years) were stimulated with phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) in a type 1 (IL-12 and anti-IL-4) or a type 2 (IL-4 and anti-IL-12) cytokine environment.
2225 15667574 Secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), IL-5 and IL-13, as detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and expression of the IL-12Rbeta2 chain on CD4 and CD8 cells by flow cytometry, were analysed.
2226 15667574 Children with newly diagnosed and longstanding T1D had lower expression levels of the IL-12Rbeta2 chain on IL-12Rbeta2 chain-positive CD4 T cells (for a type 1 or a type 2 cytokine environment: P=0.01 and P=0.002 or P=0.02 and P=0.01, respectively) and on IL-12Rbeta2 chain-positive CD8 T cells (for a type 1 or a type 2 cytokine environment: P=0.007 and P=0.0007 or P=0.003 and P=0.01, respectively) when compared to healthy children.
2227 15667574 A decreased percentage of IL-12Rbeta2 chain-expressing CD4 T cells (P=0.07 and P=0.03) and CD8 T cells (P=0.004 and P=0.01) and increased secretion of IL-13 (P=0.006 and P=0.04) in a type 1 cytokine environment was seen in both groups of patients.
2228 15677345 Biochemical analysis of the pancreas showed that OGG-1(-/-) mice had greater insulin content, indicative of a greater beta-cell mass coupled with lower levels of the chemokine MIP-1alpha and Th1 cytokines IL-12 and TNF-alpha.
2229 15677345 Levels of protective Th2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-10 were significantly higher in the pancreata of OGG-1(-/-) mice as compared with the levels measured in wild-type mice.
2230 15683454 Using the sensitive enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) technique to divide Th1- from Th2-like lymphocytes, secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 was analysed from lymphocytes spontaneously and after in vitro stimulation with different antigens, based on present paradigms regarding the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes.
2231 15683454 Compared to the response observed in healthy individuals, we found that individuals with a high risk of developing type 1 diabetes, especially children, responded with less IFN-gamma secretion to the three autoantigens glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65), insulin and tyrosinphosphatase (IA-2).
2232 15699123 These experiments reveal that cytokines such as IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, and TGF-beta, that have been involved in other functions of NKT cells, play only a minor role if any in the blockade of T cell differentiation by NKT cells.
2233 15699123 Diabetes is still prevented by NKT cells in the absence of functional IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, and TGF-beta.

2236 15699493 An insulin-like growth factor 2-derived self-antigen inducing a regulatory cytokine profile after presentation to peripheral blood mononuclear cells from DQ8+ type 1 diabetic adolescents: preliminary design of a thymus-based tolerogenic self-vaccination.
2237 15699493 This work aims to evaluate the potential use of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) as the dominant thymic self-antigen precursor of the insulin family in designing a tolerogenic approach to type 1 diabetes (T1D) prevention.
2238 15699493 This evaluation was primarily based on cytokine profile driven by MHC presentation of insulin and IGF-2-derived antigens to PBMC cultures derived from 16 T1D DQ8(+) adolescents.
2239 15699493 Insulin B9-23, one dominant beta-cell autoantigen, and the homologous sequence B11-25 of IGF-2 display the same affinity and fully compete for binding to DQ8, a MHC-II allele conferring major genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D).
2240 15699493 However, compared to insulin B9-23, presentation of IGF-2 B11-25 elicits a suppressive/regulatory cytokine profile with a higher number of IL-10-secreting cells (P < 0.05), a much higher ratio of IL-10/IFN-gamma (P < 0.01), as well as a lower number of IL-4-secreting cells (P < 0.05).

2242 15734555 Proposed antigens such as insulin, glutamic acid decarboxilase (GAD) and the heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60)-derived peptide 277 have been used successfully in murine diabetes models and in initial clinical trials in early diabetes patients.
2243 15814672 Tolerance induction of autoreactive T cells against pancreatic beta cell-specific autoantigens such as glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) and insulin has been attempted as a method to prevent autoimmune diabetes.
2244 15814672 In this study, we investigate whether adenoassociated virus (AAV) gene delivery of multiple immunodominant epitopes expressing GAD(500-585) could induce potent immune tolerance and persistently suppress autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice.
2245 15814672 This prevention was marked by the inactivation of GAD(500-585)-responsive T lymphocytes, the enhanced GAD(500-585)-specific Th2 response (characterized by increased IL-4, IL-10 production, and decreased IFN-gamma production; especially elevated anti-GAD(500-585) IgG1 titer; and relatively unchanged anti-GAD(500-585) IgG2b titer), the increased secretion of TGF-beta, and the production of protective regulatory cells.
2246 15814672 These data indicate that using AAV, a vector with advantage for therapeutic gene delivery, to transfer autoantigen peptide GAD(500-585), can induce immunological tolerance through active suppression of effector T cells and prevent type I diabetes in NOD mice.

2277 15833265 Most NKT cells express both an invariant T cell antigen receptor and the NK cell receptor NK1.1, and are referred to as invariant NKT cells.
2278 15833265 This invariant T cell receptor is restricted to interactions with glycolipids presented by the non-classical MHC, CD1d.
2279 15833265 These NKT cells rapidly produce high levels of interleukin (IL)-2, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-4 upon stimulation through their TCR.

2284 15864741 We next showed that Th2 cytokines (IL-4 and/or IL-5) increased but Th1 cytokine (IFN-gamma) decreased following injections with the butanol fraction of B.pilosa in both mouse strains.
2285 15867147 The c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase isoform (JNK) 1 is implicated in type 2 diabetes.
2286 15867147 Here, we demonstrate that JNK2 may play an important role in type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes that is caused by autoimmune destruction of beta cells.
2287 15867147 CD4(+) T cells from JNK2-deficient nonobese diabetic mice produced less IFN-gamma but significantly increased amounts of IL-4 and IL-5, indicating polarization toward the Th2 phenotype.
2288 15867147 We conclude that JNK protein kinases may have important roles in diabetes, including functions of JNK1 in type 2 diabetes and JNK2 in type 1 diabetes.

2318 15944310 Lack of chemokine receptor CCR5 promotes murine fulminant liver failure by preventing the apoptosis of activated CD1d-restricted NKT cells.
2319 15944310 In this study, we demonstrate that CCR5 deficiency promotes the development of acute FLF in mice following Con A administration by preventing activated hepatic CD1d-restricted NKT cells (but not conventional T cells) from dying from activation-induced apoptosis.
2320 15944310 The resistance of CCR5-deficient NKT cells from activation-induced apoptosis following Con A administration is not due to a defective Fas-driven death pathway.
2321 15944310 Moreover, FLF in CCR5-deficient mice also correlated with hepatic CCR5-deficient NKT cells, producing more IL-4, but not IFN-gamma, relative to wild-type NKT cells.

2364 16177088 From normal and diabetic PLN, one-third of CD1d tetramer+-sorted T cell clones were reactive with CD1d transfectants or proliferated/secreted cytokine in response to alpha-galactosylceramide-pulsed PBMCs; tetramer-staining T cell clones from diabetic PLN did not secrete IL-4.

2371 16178791 Unlike conventional T cells that recognize peptides in association with major histocompatibility complex (MHC), NKT cells recognize glycolipid antigens presented by the non-polymorphic MHC class I-like protein, CD1d.
2372 16178791 Recently, we and other groups have demonstrated that administration of glycolipid ligands such as alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GC ) or its sphingosine truncated derivative, OCH suppressed autoimmune diseases such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), diabetes in NOD mice and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) by inducing T helper (Th) 2 bias of autoimmune T cells.
2373 16178791 OCH is a unique ligand to stimulate NKT cells to selectively produce Th2 cytokines whereas alpha-GC induces both interleukin (IL)-4 and interferon (IFN)-gamma, and is more beneficial for treatment of a wide variety of Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases.
2374 16192669 The OMp showed reduced TNF-alpha, IL-12, and NO production as well as defective phagocytosis activity compared to nondiabetic controls; however, there was no significant difference with IL-6 production.
2375 16192669 On the other hand, the levels of IFN-gamma or IL-4 of splenocytes in diabetic mice were significantly higher compared to the control mice.
2376 16192669 The ratio of IFN-gamma to IL-4 was also higher at the early stage of diabetes and then declined several weeks later after the occurrence of diabetes, suggesting a pathogenetic TH1 phenotype from the beginning gradually to a tendency of TH2 during the development of diabetes.
2377 16192669 The OMp showed reduced TNF-alpha, IL-12, and NO production as well as defective phagocytosis activity compared to nondiabetic controls; however, there was no significant difference with IL-6 production.
2378 16192669 On the other hand, the levels of IFN-gamma or IL-4 of splenocytes in diabetic mice were significantly higher compared to the control mice.
2379 16192669 The ratio of IFN-gamma to IL-4 was also higher at the early stage of diabetes and then declined several weeks later after the occurrence of diabetes, suggesting a pathogenetic TH1 phenotype from the beginning gradually to a tendency of TH2 during the development of diabetes.
2380 16232222 Mature DC (mDC) from 18 children with T1DM and 10 age-matched healthy children were tested. mDC, derived from peripheral blood monocytes cultured for 6 days in presence of interleukin (IL)-4 and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for the last 24 h, were phenotyped for the expression of the co-stimulatory molecules B7.1 and B7.2.
2381 16232222 We also measured IL-10 and IL-12 concentration in the supernatant of DC cultures.
2382 16232222 Interestingly, we observed in the patients a sevenfold higher level of IL-10 (P = 0.07) and a ninefold lower level of IL-12 (P = 0.01).
2383 16304639 We investigated whether iNKT activation with alpha-GalCer was protective in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in DBA/1 mice, a standard model of rheumatoid arthritis.
2384 16304639 Here, we have shown that in vivo iNKT cell function was altered in DBA/1 mice since stimulation with alpha-GalCer led to decreased IL-4 and IFN-gamma levels in sera, as compared with C57BL/6 mice. alpha-GalCer induced a clear-cut diminution of clinical and histological arthritides.
2385 16304639 An anti-IL-10 receptor antibody abrogated the protective effect of alpha-GalCer, suggesting a key role for IL-10 in the protection against CIA by activated iNKT cells.
2386 16304639 Confirming these data, disease protection conferred by alpha-GalCer correlated with the ability of LN CD4+ cells to secrete larger amounts of IL-10.
2387 16306335 No significant differences between genotypes (24 I/I subjects versus 10 I/III or III/III subjects) were observed for gamma-interferon, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, or interleukin (IL)-4.
2388 16306335 By contrast, the I/III + III/III group showed a significant threefold higher IL-10 release in memory T-cells for whole proinsulin and the immunodominant region.
2389 16306335 Given that IL-10 is a marker of regulatory function, our data are consistent with the hypothesis that higher insulin levels in the thymus promote the formation of regulatory T-cells, a proposed explanation for the protective effect of the class III alleles.
2390 16329191 Specific antiviral (self) CD8 T cells are mandatory for disease, but CD4 T cells are not.
2391 16329191 In this instance, diabetes can occur in the absence of infection if interferon gamma or B7.1 molecules are also expressed in the islets but not when IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, or IL-12 is similarly expressed.
2392 16329191 In contrast, both CD8 and CD4 antiviral (self) specific T cells are required when the self "viral" transgene is expressed concomitantly in beta cells and in the thymus.
2393 16367949 Using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) we studied the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, interferon (IFN)-gamma and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha during the course of LTB and SPTB in the lungs and spleens of B6D2F1Bom mice infected with the H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb).
2394 16367949 The results show that, except for IL-4, cytokine expression levels were significantly higher during SPTB than LTB in both the lungs and spleens.
2395 16367949 During LTB, all the cytokines (except IL-2 in the lungs) had higher expression levels during the initial period of infection both in the lungs and spleens.
2396 16367949 The expression levels of IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-gamma increased significantly from 2 to 3 in the lungs.
2397 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.
2398 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.
2399 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.
2400 16367949 Using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) we studied the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, interferon (IFN)-gamma and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha during the course of LTB and SPTB in the lungs and spleens of B6D2F1Bom mice infected with the H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb).
2401 16367949 The results show that, except for IL-4, cytokine expression levels were significantly higher during SPTB than LTB in both the lungs and spleens.
2402 16367949 During LTB, all the cytokines (except IL-2 in the lungs) had higher expression levels during the initial period of infection both in the lungs and spleens.
2403 16367949 The expression levels of IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-gamma increased significantly from 2 to 3 in the lungs.
2404 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.
2405 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.
2406 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.
2407 16380491 Using genetically deficient mice and cytokine-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, we demonstrate here that the therapeutic effect does not involve T-helper type 2 cytokines (interleukin [IL]-4 and -10) but is tightly dependent on transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta.
2408 16387690 On activation, NF-kappaB regulates the expression of almost 400 different genes, which include enzymes (e.g., COX-2, 5-LOX, and iNOS), cytokines (such as TNF, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and chemokines), adhesion molecules, cell cycle regulatory molecules, viral proteins, and angiogenic factors.
2409 16387690 Several agents are known to suppress NF-kappaB activation, including Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, and IL-10), interferons, endocrine hormones (LH, HCG, MSH, and GH), phytochemicals, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive agents.
2410 16390542 In vivo administration of siRNA admixed with the oil-based contrast agent lipiodol in the presence of antigen and adjuvant induced a deviation in recall response to reduced production of IFN-gamma and augmented IL-4 response using either KLH or ovalbumin.
2411 16476010 Elimination of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells breaks down reovirus type 2-triggered and CpG ODN-induced prolonged mild autoimmune insulitis in DBA/1 mice.
2412 16476010 Compared with the control mice, newborn mice treated with monoclonal antibody (MoAb) against mouse CD25(+) CD4(+) T cells together with Reo-2 and CpG ODN greatly reduced the absolute number of splenic CD25(+) T cells and resulted in the development of severe insulitis, leading to an overt early diabetes.
2413 16476010 Moreover, the treatment of the MoAb increased production of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and decreased that of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and developed high titre of autoantibodies against pancreatic islet cells.
2414 16476010 These evidences suggest that CD4(+) CD25(+) T cell may, at least in part, maintain tolerance to Reo-2-triggered and CpG ODN-induced prolonged mild Th1-dependent autoimmune insulitis, leading to the overt disease.
2415 16492987 In ELISPOT assay, IFN-gamma-secreting T cells, but not IL-4, against several insulin peptides were observed in 77.8% of patients with recent-onset T1D, 50.0% of patients with established T1D, and 0% of healthy control subjects.
2416 16492987 These data did not correlate with insulin autoantibodies or HLA-DRB1 of the patients.
2417 16505600 iNKT cells are a unique subset of CD1-restricted T lymphocytes that express T cell receptor (TCR) and some NK receptors. iNKT cells express an invariant TCRalpha chain composed of Valpha14-Jalpha18 segments in mice and Valpha24-Jalpha18 segments in humans associated with TCRbeta chains using a restricted set of Vbeta. iNKT cells recognize glycolipid antigens such as alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GC) presented by CD1d, non-pormorphic MHC class I-like molecule, and rapidly secrete large amounts of cytokines including IL-4 and IFN-gamma upon activation.
2418 16533984 Diabetic mice showed significantly higher levels of C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, fibronectin and von Willebrand factor than nondiabetic mice (P<0.05), and MRSA infection further elevated the plasma levels of these inflammatory and endothelial markers (P<0.05).
2419 16533984 Before infection, diabetic mice had significantly higher plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity, lower antithrombin III (AT-III) and protein C activities (P<0.05), and MRSA infection significantly increased PAI-1 activity further and reduced the activity of AT-III and protein C (P<0.05).
2420 16533984 MRSA infection increased the production of three Th1 cytokines, interleukin 2 (IL-2), tumour necrosis factor alpha and gamma interferon, in diabetic mice (P<0.05); however, three Th2 cytokines, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, were elevated at 2 and 4 days p.i., and then dropped gradually.
2421 16628253 In vivo, expansion of CD25(+)Foxp3(+) and insulin-specific Tregs producing IL-10, TGF-beta, and IL-4 was strongly enhanced.
2422 16698671 CBD treatment also resulted in the significant reduction of plasma levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha.
2423 16698671 Th1-associated cytokine production of in vitro activated T-cells and peritoneal macrophages was also significantly reduced in CBD-treated mice, whereas production of the Th2-associated cytokines, IL-4 and IL-10, was increased when compared to untreated control mice.
2424 16700887 This is perhaps more surprising, given that helminths often induce strong Th2-type immune responses characterized by release of specific cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and IL-13. 4.
2425 16704296 Using the sensitive enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) technique to distinguish Th1-like from Th2-like lymphocytes, secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) was analyzed from PBMCs spontaneously and after in vitro stimulation with the diabetes-associated autoantigens, glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65, protein and peptide, aa 247-279), recombinant tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2), and heat shock protein (HSP, aa 437-460).
2426 16704296 Secretion of IFN-gamma and the IFN-gamma/IL-4 ratio, induced by autoantigens, decreased in individuals developing T1D (p < 0.05), whereas nondiabetic individuals showed an increased IL-4 response (p < 0.05).
2427 16704296 Using the sensitive enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) technique to distinguish Th1-like from Th2-like lymphocytes, secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) was analyzed from PBMCs spontaneously and after in vitro stimulation with the diabetes-associated autoantigens, glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65, protein and peptide, aa 247-279), recombinant tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2), and heat shock protein (HSP, aa 437-460).
2428 16704296 Secretion of IFN-gamma and the IFN-gamma/IL-4 ratio, induced by autoantigens, decreased in individuals developing T1D (p < 0.05), whereas nondiabetic individuals showed an increased IL-4 response (p < 0.05).
2429 16707476 As expected, adipokines (i.e., leptin, adiponectin, and resistin) were undetectable or found at very low levels in the blood of fatless mice.
2430 16707476 However, insulin, insulin-like growth factor-I, growth hormone, vascular endothelial growth factor, and proinflammatory Th2 cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-4, and IL-6, were elevated in A-ZIP/F-1 mice.
2431 16707476 Additionally, we examined multiple phosphorylated proteins (i.e., protein kinase B/Akt and ErbB2/HER-2 kinase) associated with cancer development.
2432 16709804 Anergic cells express transcripts that are associated with effector differentiation, e.g., the effector cytokines IL-4 and IFN-gamma.
2433 16713180 The mRNAs of IL-2 and IFN-gamma (Th1 cytokines) and IL-4 (Th2 cytokine) were downregulated in the pancreas and spleen of diabetic pregnant rats.

2445 16713232 Caloric restriction inhibits up-regulation of inflammatory cytokines and TNF-alpha, and activates IL-10 and haptoglobin in the plasma of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
2446 16713232 The inflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-4 and IL-6] and tumor necrosis factor alpha up-regulated in diabetes were found to be significantly depressed by CR, whereas the antiinflammatory mediators, haptoglobin and IL-10 levels, were increased.
2447 16717396 Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of all subjects were examined by flow cytometry for intracellular cytokines (IFN-gamma for Th1; IL-4 for Th2) and expression of the chemokine receptors CXCR3 (Th1-associated) and CCR4 (Th2-associated).
2448 16717396 Plasma concentrations of interferon-inducible protein (IP)-10, a CXCR3 ligand, and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), a CCR4 ligand, were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
2449 16717396 Considering only patients with type 1 diabetes alone, duration of diabetes correlated positively with IFN-gamma-producing T lymphocytes (r = 0.773, P = 0.0242) and the ratio of CXCR3 to CCR4 receptor expression (r = 0.947, P = 0.0004).
2450 16764688 Prior epicutaneous immunization results in reduced production of antigen-specific interferon-gamma and immunoglobulin G2a (IgG2a) and enhanced interleukin-4, IgG1 and IgE responses to immunization with CFA.
2451 16764688 Moreover, epicutaneous immunization converts an established Th1 response to a Th2 response, as demonstrated by the specific reduction of interferon-gamma and IgG2a and the enhancement of interleukin-4 and IgE.

2454 16879245 The expression of interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta in PBMC was studied with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in a subgroup of 38 children.
2455 16879245 Rotavirus-stimulated lymphocytes from autoantibody-positive children produced more IL-4 and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated lymphocytes more IL-4 and IFN-gamma than lymphocytes from control children.
2456 16879245 PHA-stimulated lymphocytes from children with diabetes also produced more IL-4 and purified protein derivative (PPD)-stimulated lymphocytes less TGF-beta than lymphocytes from autoantibody-negative control children.
2457 16879245 The expression of interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta in PBMC was studied with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in a subgroup of 38 children.

2463 16970111 Tosilate of suplatast is a selective IL-4 and IL-5 inhibitor.
2464 16972262 BB rats were therefore checked at day 21 up to day 90 of life for blood glucose, insulin levels, degree of islet infiltration, expression of proinflammatory and protective cytokines and antibodies including CD4, CD8, CD25, LFA-1, and ICAM-1.
2465 16972262 We found that islets of non-diabetic BB rats became positive to both IL-1beta and IL-4 very early on, confirming a local but intense production of both cytokines within the islets during the initial non-diabetic period.
2466 16972262 In addition, we observed that the production of these interleukins together with the expression levels of CD4 and CD25 are events predictive for type 1 diabetes onset in non-diabetic BB rats, as for non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.
2467 16972262 In particular, the production of IL-1beta and IL-4 during the non-diabetic period together with the lack of enhancement of CD4 and CD25, indicating selective recruitment of activated T cells, may explain the failure of anti-diabetic treatments in this animal model of type 1 diabetes.
2468 16972262 BB rats were therefore checked at day 21 up to day 90 of life for blood glucose, insulin levels, degree of islet infiltration, expression of proinflammatory and protective cytokines and antibodies including CD4, CD8, CD25, LFA-1, and ICAM-1.

2471 16972262 In particular, the production of IL-1beta and IL-4 during the non-diabetic period together with the lack of enhancement of CD4 and CD25, indicating selective recruitment of activated T cells, may explain the failure of anti-diabetic treatments in this animal model of type 1 diabetes.
2472 17008395 This result correlated with a corresponding change in cytokine secretion, with the interferon-gamma to IL-4 ratio being decreased by 33%.
2473 17032237 Indeed, on in vitro ovalbumin stimulation, spleen T cells from naive HFD-fed transgenic mice showed proliferation similar to that of cells from standard diet (SD)-fed mice, but exhibited a strong inflammatory profile as shown by the markedly increased IFN-gamma/IL-4 ratio.
2474 17100636 NKT cells are a subset of regulatory lymphocytes characterized by co-expression of the NK cell receptor-CD161 and an invariant TCR-alpha chain (Valpha14-Jalpha28).
2475 17100636 Activation of NKT lymphocytes leads to rapid amplification of either IFNgamma or IL4, endowing these cells with the capability to mediate both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune responses.
2476 17100636 Administration of CD1d ligand has a protective role in collagen-induced arthritis in mice.
2477 17100636 NKT lymphocytes are activated by interaction of their TCR with glycolipids presented by CD1d, a nonpolymorphic, MHC class I-like molecule expressed by antigen presenting cells, and also by hepatocytes.
2478 17100636 On the other hand, glucosylceramide-synthase deficiency was shown to lead to defective ligand presentation by CD1d, with secondary inhibition of NKT cell activation.
2479 17100762 Using the enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) technique, interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-4 were analysed from fresh PBMC spontaneously and after in vitro stimulation with antigens associated with one or more of these diseases (insulin, gluten, birch and cat extract, beta-lactoglobulin, ovalbumin and phytohaemagglutinin) in order to divide T helper (Th)1- from Th2-like lymphocytes.
2480 17100762 A low IFN-gamma response to insulin was found in type 1 diabetic children, whereas allergic children responded to insulin by increased IL-4 secretion.
2481 17100762 Using the enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) technique, interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-4 were analysed from fresh PBMC spontaneously and after in vitro stimulation with antigens associated with one or more of these diseases (insulin, gluten, birch and cat extract, beta-lactoglobulin, ovalbumin and phytohaemagglutinin) in order to divide T helper (Th)1- from Th2-like lymphocytes.
2482 17100762 A low IFN-gamma response to insulin was found in type 1 diabetic children, whereas allergic children responded to insulin by increased IL-4 secretion.
2483 17101254 Accordingly, cytopiloyne also suppressed IFN-gamma expression and promoted IL-4 expression in mouse splenocytes ex vivo.
2484 17130491 Natural CD4(+)CD25(high) regulatory T-cells are derived from thymus, and accordingly human insulin-specific regulatory T-cells should exist.
2485 17130491 The mRNA expression of regulatory T-cell markers (transforming growth factor-beta, Foxp3, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 [CTLA-4], and inducible co-stimulator [ICOS]) or cytokines (gamma-interferon [IFN-gamma], interleukin [IL]-5, IL-4) was measured by quantitative RT-PCR.
2486 17130491 The secretion of IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 was also studied.
2487 17130491 The expression of Foxp3, CTLA-4, and ICOS mRNAs in PBMCs stimulated with bovine or human insulin was higher in patients on insulin treatment than in patients studied before starting insulin treatment.
2488 17130491 The insulin-induced Foxp3 protein expression in CD4(+)CD25(high) cells was detectable in flow cytometry.
2489 17130491 Insulin stimulation in vitro induced increased expression of regulatory T-cell markers, Foxp3, CTLA-4, and ICOS only in patients treated with insulin, suggesting that treatment with human insulin activates insulin-specific regulatory T-cells in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.
2490 17130491 Natural CD4(+)CD25(high) regulatory T-cells are derived from thymus, and accordingly human insulin-specific regulatory T-cells should exist.
2491 17130491 The mRNA expression of regulatory T-cell markers (transforming growth factor-beta, Foxp3, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 [CTLA-4], and inducible co-stimulator [ICOS]) or cytokines (gamma-interferon [IFN-gamma], interleukin [IL]-5, IL-4) was measured by quantitative RT-PCR.

2496 17130537 To address DC dysregulation we examined kinetic global gene expression in NOD and B6 GM-CSF/IL-4-induced bone marrow-derived DC following lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulation.
2497 17130537 Mechanistically, heightened IFN-alpha/beta responses were not due to increased production of this cytokine, IFN-gamma priming or increased Syk kinase activity.
2498 17130537 We found, however, heightened responses to IFN-alpha/beta in NOD versus B6 as demonstrated by increased type 1 IFN target gene expression, for example, IRF-7, in NOD DC and macrophages.
2499 17151140 We tested CD4, CD8, and CD161 expression and IL-4 and IFN-gamma production on TCR stimulation.
2500 17162357 Oral Ag induces Th2 (IL-4/IL-10) and Th3 (TGF-beta) regulatory T cells (Tregs) plus CD4+CD25+ regulatory cells and LAP+T cells.
2501 17162357 Induction of oral tolerance is enhanced by IL-4, IL-10, anti-IL-12, TGF-beta, cholera toxin B subunit (CTB), Flt-3 ligand, anti-CD40 ligand and continuous feeding of Ag.

2504 17164429 Distinct regulation of autoreactive CD4 T cell expansion by interleukin-4 under conditions of lymphopenia.
2505 17164429 Here, we show that IL-4 only enhances the expansion of autoreactive CD4 T cells during lymphopenia and that neither the presence of islet IL-4 nor IL-4 deficiency affects T cell expansion significantly under conditions of immunosufficiency.
2506 17164429 The ability of IL-4 to promote autoreactive CD4 T cell expansion is therefore sensitive to the degree of host immunodeficiency.
2507 17164429 Paradoxically, IL-4 receptor-deficient, autoreactive CD4 T cells proliferate more extensively than wild-type T cells in immunodeficient hosts, suggesting that the growth-promoting effect of islet IL-4 acts indirectly.

2520 17177137 Histological studies evaluated insulitis development and Western blot analysis was employed to evaluate the expression levels of Th1 cytokines (TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma) and Th2 cytokines (IL-10 and IL-4).
2521 17192467 Induction of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase by interferon-gamma in human islets.
2522 17192467 Microarray and quantitative PCR analyses of isolated human islets incubated with interferon (IFN)-gamma for 24 h revealed increased expression of IDO mRNA (>139-fold) and Trp-tRNA synthase (WARS) (>17-fold) along with 975 other transcripts more than threefold, notably the downstream effectors janus kinase (JAK)2, signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1, IFN-gamma regulatory factor-1, and several chemokines (CXCL9/MIG, CXCL10/IP10, CXCL11/1-TAC, CCL2, and CCL5/RANTES) and their receptors.
2523 17192467 IDO protein expression was upregulated in IFN-gamma-treated islets and accompanied by increased intracellular IDO enzyme activity and the release of KYN into the media.
2524 17192467 The response to IFN-gamma was countered by interleukin-4 and 1alpha-methyl Trp.
2525 17192467 Immunohistochemical localization showed IDO to be induced in cells of both endocrine, including pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1-positive beta-cells, and nonendocrine origin.
2526 17202329 We show that KRV infection strongly stimulates BBDR splenocytes to produce the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-12p40 but not TNF-alpha.
2527 17202329 KRV infection induces high levels of IL-12p40 by splenic B cells and Flt-3-ligand-induced bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) but only low levels of IL-12p40 production by thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages or GM-CSF plus IL-4-induced bone marrow-derived DCs.
2528 17213232 We investigated the relationship of nine common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-10, IL-4 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 with the atherosclerotic severity in 10 different arteries based on 1503 consecutive autopsies of elderly Japanese subjects registered in the Japanese SNPs for geriatric research (JG-SNP) study.
2529 17213232 The -511T of IL-1beta and the +29T of TGF-beta1 were significant risk factors for atherogenesis in the subclavian and intracranial arteries (OR: 1.35 and 1.48, respectively).
2530 17213232 Functional SNPs in TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and TGF-beta1 genes play a role in atherogenesis, although their influences are less pronounced than those of conventional risk factors and appear to be limited to specific arteries in the Japanese elderly.
2531 17237379 We recently showed that neither iNKT cell protection against diabetes nor iNKT cell inhibition of T cell differentiation in vitro requires cytokines such as IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, and TGF-beta.
2532 17302896 We therefore examined the recently activated circulating T cell population [CD3+, human leucocyte antigen D-related (HLA-DR+)] using cytokine production and 10 additional subset markers [CD69, CD25, CD122, CD30, CD44v6, CD57, CD71, CCR3 (CD193), CCR5 (CD195) or CXCR3 (CD183)], comparing newly diagnosed adult (ND) (age 18-40 years) patients (n=19) to patients with diabetes for >10 years [long-standing (LS), n=19] and HLA-matched controls (C, n=16).
2533 17302896 No differences in basal or stimulated production of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, IL-13 or interferon (IFN)-gamma by CD3+ DR+ enriched cells were observed between the different groups of subjects.
2534 17302896 However, among the CD3+ DR+ population, significant expansions appeared to be present in the very small CD30+, CD69+ and CD122+ subpopulations.
2535 17302896 A confirmatory study was then performed using new subjects (ND=26, LS=15), three-colour flow cytometry, unseparated cells and three additional subset markers (CD38, CD134, CD4/CD25).
2536 17317763 To define the parameters influencing the efficacy of antigen-specific immunotherapy once diabetes is established, plasmid DNA (pDNA) vaccination was used to suppress autoimmune-mediated destruction of syngeneic islet grafts in diabetic NOD recipients. pDNAs encoding a glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65)-Ig molecule (pGAD65), interleukin (IL)-4 (pIL4), and IL-10 (pIL10) significantly delayed the onset of recurrent diabetes compared with pGAD65+pIL10-vaccinated recipients.
2537 17317763 Despite differences in efficacy, a similar frequency of GAD65-specific CD4(+) T-cells secreting IL-4, IL-10, or interferon-gamma were detected in mice treated with pGAD65+pIL4+pIL10 and pGAD65+pIL10.
2538 17317763 However, the frequency of FoxP3-expressing CD4(+)CD25(+)CD62L(hi) T-cells was increased in the renal and pancreatic lymph nodes of diabetic recipients vaccinated with pGAD65+pIL4+pIL10.
2539 17317763 These immunoregulatory CD4(+)CD25(+) T-cells (CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg) exhibited enhanced in vivo and in vitro suppressor activity that partially was transforming growth factor-beta dependent.
2540 17317763 Furthermore, duration of islet graft protection in pGAD65+pIL4+pIL10-vaccinated diabetic recipients correlated with the persistence of CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg.
2541 17317763 These data demonstrate that the frequency and maintenance of FoxP3-expressing CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg influence antigen-induced suppression of ongoing beta-cell autoimmunity in diabetic recipients.

2548 17319946 Interleukin-4 inhibition of interleukin-1-induced expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is independent of lipoxygenase and PPARgamma activation in human gingival fibroblasts.
2549 17327452 Here, we show that antibody neutralization of CCL4 abrogates the ability of T-cells from IL-4-treated NOD mice to transfer protection against type 1 diabetes.
2550 17339462 Furthermore, we demonstrate that one of the IL-4 regulated genes, NDFIP2, promotes IFN-gamma production by the polarized human Th1 lymphocytes.

2578 17491692 The studies were aimed at improving the effectiveness of Th2 cells to secrete the principal cytokines, IL-4 and IL-10, in order to mediate protection from diabetes in NOD mice.
2579 17513737 Type 2 diabetes impairs insulin receptor substrate-2-mediated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in primary macrophages to induce a state of cytokine resistance to IL-4 in association with overexpression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-3.
2580 17513737 In this study, we report that normal IL-4-dependent elaboration of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) requires IRS-2-mediated PI3K activity in primary macrophages.

2619 17513737 Type 2 diabetes impairs insulin receptor substrate-2-mediated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in primary macrophages to induce a state of cytokine resistance to IL-4 in association with overexpression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-3.
2620 17513737 In this study, we report that normal IL-4-dependent elaboration of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) requires IRS-2-mediated PI3K activity in primary macrophages.
2621 17513737 We also show that macrophages isolated from obese/diabetic db/db mice have impaired IRS-2-mediated PI3K activity and constitutively overexpress suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3, which impairs an important IL-4 anti-inflammatory function.
2622 17513737 Resident peritoneal macrophages were isolated from db/db mice and were found to constitutively overexpress IL-6 and were unable to elaborate IL-1RA in response to IL-4-like db/+ mouse macrophages.
2623 17513737 Inhibition of PI3K with wortmannin or blockage of IRS-2/PI3K complex formation with a cell permeable IRS-2-derived tyrosine phosphopeptide inhibited IL-4-dependent IL-1RA production in db/+ macrophages.
2624 17513737 Examination of IL-4 signaling in db/db macrophages revealed that IL-4-dependent IRS-2/PI3K complex formation and IRS-2 tyrosine phosphorylation was reduced compared with db/+ macrophages.

2643 17611256 It results in insulin deficiency as a consequence of autoimmune destruction of islet beta-cells in the pancreas and is believed to be mediated by Th1 cytokines (IFNgamma, TNFalpha, and IL-2).
2644 17611256 A number of genes have been associated with type 1 diabetes in humans, including the human leukocyte antigen region, the insulin variable number tandem repeat, PTPN22, CTLA4, IL-4, and IL-13.
2645 17611256 In this study, 483 cases of canine diabetes and 869 controls of known breed were analyzed for association with IFNgamma, IGF2, IL-10, IL-12beta, IL-6, insulin, PTPN22, RANTES, IL-4, IL-1alpha and TNFalpha.
2646 17611256 Some associations were with increased susceptibility to the disease (IFNgamma, IL-10, IL-12beta, IL-6, insulin, PTPN22, IL-4, and TNFalpha), whereas others were protective (IL-4, PTPN22, IL-6, insulin, IGF2, TNFalpha).

2655 17708341 The expression of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-4 genes was determined by real-time PCR in freshly isolated islets, in 24-h cultured islets and in islet grafts on days 1, 3, and 7 after transplantation.
2656 17708341 IL-6 and IL-10 were not detected in freshly isolated islets, but their expression was clearly enhanced in 24-h cultured islets and islet grafts.
2657 17708341 IFN-gamma mRNA was barely detected in a few grafts, and IL-4 mRNA was never detected.

2661 17709885 Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans by autoreactive T helper 1 (Th1) cells characterized by their cytokine secretory products, interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon gamma (IFNgamma).
2662 17709885 Th1-type cytokines (IL-2 and IFNgamma) correlate with T1D, whereas Th2 (IL-4 and IL-10), Th3 (transforming growth factor beta [TGFbeta]), and T regulatory cell-type cytokines (IL-10 and TGFbeta) correlate with protection from T1D.
2663 17709885 Paradoxically, however, administrations of Th1-type cytokines (IL-2 and IFNgamma) and immunotherapies that induce Th1-type cytokine responses actually prevent T1D, at least in animal models.
2664 17927013 Insulin/glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) regimen suppresses the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukins-6 (IL-6), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and other pro-inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS), enhances the synthesis of endothelial nitric oxide (eNO), and anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukins-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10).
2665 17927013 In subjects who are critically ill, monocyte HLA-DR expression was significantly decreased with a concomitant increase in plasma IL-10 and IL-4 concentrations.
2666 17927013 Large increases in the plasma concentrations of TNF-alpha, IL-6, sustained increase in the expression of leukocyte CD11b/CD18, and ROS generation following surgery and infections were found to be associated with increased mortality.

2670 17949947 The source of TcR was a CD4(+) T(H)1(+) T-cell clone which responded to an immunodominant epitope of the human islet protein GAD65, an epitope shared with both GAD65 and GAD67 in the mouse.
2671 17949947 The resulting HLA-DR4/GAD-TcR transgenic mice on a Rag2(o/o)/I-Ab(o/o)/B6 background exhibited a CD4(+) infiltrate into pancreatic islets that correlated with a loss of insulin in infiltrated islets.
2672 17949947 T cells containing the GAD65/67 (555-567) responsive TcR undergo strong negative selection as evidenced by a 10-fold lower thymocyte cellularity compared to non-TcR transgenic mice, and clonotype peripheral T cells represented approximately 1% of CD4(+) T cells in Rag2 sufficient mice.
2673 17949947 Upon in vitro stimulation, GAD65/67 555-567 responsive T cells secrete interferon-gamma, minimal interleukin (IL)-2 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and no IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, or IL-17, consistent with a T(H)1 profile.
2674 17949947 These data demonstrate that CD4(+) T cells specific for a naturally processed epitope within GAD can specifically home to pancreatic islets and lead to impaired islet beta-cell function in diabetes-associated HLA-DR4 transgenic mice on the relatively non-autoimmune C57BL/6 background.
2675 17962984 Patients with active tuberculosis were found to have lower IFNgamma levels and a higher production of other pro-inflammatory cytokines and IL-4, both in the presence and absence of diabetes.
2676 17983440 Intracellular staining revealed that these Th2 T-cell clones produce low levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in vitro, and after adoptive transfer, they migrate to the pancreas where they produce TNF-alpha as well as Th2 cytokines (interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10).
2677 18025164 The therapeutic effect of transfused activated NOD B cells correlates closely with the observed decreased islet inflammation, reduced IFN-gamma production and increased production of IL-4 and IL-10 by splenocytes and CD4(+) T cells from NOD recipients of BCR-stimulated NOD B cells relative to splenocytes and CD4(+) T cells from PBS-treated control NOD mice.
2678 18064633 MIF deficiency resulted in lower proliferation and lymphocyte adhesion, as well as reduced production from the spleens and peritoneal cells of a variety of inflammatory mediators typically associated with development of the disease including IL-12, IL-23, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta.
2679 18064633 Furthermore, MIF deletion affected the production of IL-18, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and iNOS in the islets of Langerhans.
2680 18064633 These data, along with the higher expression of IL-4 and TGF-beta observed in the periphery and in the pancreas of MLD-STZ-challenged MIF(-/-) mice as compared to WT controls suggest that MIF deficiency has induced an immune deviation towards protective type 2/3 response.
2681 18091354 We tested the hypothesis that formula feeding during the neonatal period accelerates the development of T1D in diabetes-prone BioBreeding (BBDP) rats through regulation of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T lymphocytes (T(reg)) and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
2682 18091354 The spleen and thymus were analyzed for Foxp3-expressing CD4+/CD25+ T cells.
2683 18091354 Multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were performed to measure cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, and IL-18.
2684 18091354 There were no differences in ileal cytokine concentrations of 75-d-old rats, but the formula-fed rats had greater liver TNF-alpha (p < 0.001), IFN-gamma, and IL-4 (p < 0.01) and lower IL-10 (p = 0.002) compared with MF animals.

2689 18178847 Genome-wide microarray expression analysis of CD4+ T Cells from nonobese diabetic congenic mice identifies Cd55 (Daf1) and Acadl as candidate genes for type 1 diabetes.
2690 18178847 NOD.Idd3/5 congenic mice have insulin-dependent diabetes (Idd) regions on chromosomes 1 (Idd5) and 3 (Idd3) derived from the nondiabetic strains B10 and B6, respectively.
2691 18178847 To test the hypothesis that candidate Idd genes can be identified by differential gene expression between activated CD4+ T cells from the diabetes-susceptible NOD strain and the diabetes-resistant NOD.Idd3/5 congenic strain, genome-wide microarray expression analysis was performed using an empirical Bayes method.
2692 18178847 The two genes with the greatest differential RNA expression on chromosome 1 were those encoding decay-accelerating factor (DAF, also known as CD55) and acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, long chain, which are located in the Idd5.4 and Idd5.3 regions, respectively.
2693 18178847 In the case of DAF, differential expression of mRNA was extended to the protein level; NOD CD4+ T cells expressed higher levels of cell surface DAF compared with NOD.Idd3/5 CD4+ T cells following activation with anti-CD3 and -CD28.
2694 18178847 DAF up-regulation was IL-4 dependent and blocked under Th1 conditions.
2695 18230955 They are 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).
2696 18230955 IL-3 was reluctant to clustering and IL-30 through 33 were not included due to the scarce available data.
2697 18271251 Western blot showed that the expression product (SP(Usp45)-INS protein) targeted mainly at the cell wall while little was found in cytoplasm or supernatant.
2698 18271251 ELISA and Western blot results showed that the recombinant strain could induce SP(Usp45)-INS-specific antibodies and raise IL-4 level (38.583 +/- 2.083 pg/mL, P < 0.05) in the mice' s sera.
2699 18318993 The level of IFN-gamma was lower while IL-4 was higher in mDCs treated mice than that in umDCs treated mice, which indicated that Th1/Th2 deviation occurred.
2700 18337172 The protective effect of DC/IL-4 required both MHC and IL-4 expression by the DCs.
2701 18338925 The interleukins IL-2, IL-4, IL-10 and interferon gamma were quantified by ELISA.
2702 18383559 According to this concept, a T-helper lymphocyte of type 1 (Th1) subset of T-lymphocytes and their cytokine products, the type 1 cytokines [e.g. interleukin 2 (IL-2), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumour necrosis factor beta (TNF-beta)] prevail over immunoregulatory (anti-inflammatory) Th2 subset and its cytokine products, i.e. type 2 cytokines (e.g.
2703 18383559 IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10).
2704 18383559 Activation of sympathetic-corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) axis by psychological stress induces specifically Th1 cell overactivity that determines enhanced glutamine utilization and consequent poor L-arginine supply for nitric oxide (NO)-assisted insulin secretion.
2705 18392872 In this work, we assessed the in-vitro effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; C20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6n-3) (final concentration, 15 microM) on T cell blastogenesis, interleukin-2 and -4 (IL-2, IL-4) secretion, fatty acid composition and intracellular oxidative status in type I diabetic patients with or without complications.
2706 18392872 EPA and DHA diminished T-lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production but enhanced IL-4 secretion in both diabetic and control groups.
2707 18392872 In this work, we assessed the in-vitro effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; C20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6n-3) (final concentration, 15 microM) on T cell blastogenesis, interleukin-2 and -4 (IL-2, IL-4) secretion, fatty acid composition and intracellular oxidative status in type I diabetic patients with or without complications.
2708 18392872 EPA and DHA diminished T-lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production but enhanced IL-4 secretion in both diabetic and control groups.
2709 18432585 Plasma levels of Th1/Th2 type cytokine are associated with change of prolactin and GH/IGF-I in hemodialysis patients.
2710 18432585 The aims of the present study were to estimate the serum concentrations of Th1-Th2 cytokine, GH, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and PRL, and to determine whether there are any correlations between the release of T-cell cytokines and disturbance of hormones in a group of patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
2711 18432585 Baseline serum concentrations of GH/IGF-I, PRL, IL-2, sIL-2R, IFN-gamma, IL-4 and IL-10 were measured in all patients and control subjects.
2712 18432585 Our results demonstrate that the fasting serum concentration of IGF-I, PRL, sIL-2R and Th1-type cytokine, including IL-2 and IFN-gamma, were significantly higher in HD patients compared to the healthy subjects.
2713 18432585 GH and Th2-type cytokine including IL-4 and IL-10 levels were slightly reduced, but no significant differences were observed between HD patients and the control group.
2714 18432585 In the group of HD patients, PRL correlated directly with IFN-gamma and correlated inversely with IL-10; IFN-gamma correlated inversely with IL-4; and GH also correlated inversely with IGF-I and IL-4.
2715 18432585 However, IGF-I correlated directly with IL-2 and IL-10.
2716 18432585 These data suggest that the Th1/Th2 imbalance in HD patients with an increase of Th1 type cytokines, associated with the altered GH/IGF-I axis and prolactin and immuno-endocrine dysfunction, probably plays a role in an impaired immune system in HD patients.

2733 18435801 Because the role of regulatory T cells in the intestinal inflammation is unknown in coeliac disease (CD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D), the expression of forkhead box P3 (FoxP3), CD25, transforming growth factor-beta, interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-8, IL-10, IL-15 and IL-18 was measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in the small intestinal biopsies from paediatric patients with active or potential CD, T1D and control patients.
2734 18435801 Enhanced intestinal expressions of FoxP3, IL-10 and IFN-gamma mRNAs were found in active CD when compared with controls (P-values < 0.001, 0.004, <0.001).
2735 18435801 The ratio of IFN-gamma to FoxP3-specific mRNA was increased in active and potential CD (P = 0.001 and P = 0.002).
2736 18435801 The increased ratio of IFN-gamma to FoxP3 mRNA in active and potential CD suggests an imbalance between regulatory and effector mechanisms.
2737 18522831 Here we show that in response to the Th2 cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) directs expression of the alternative phenotype in Kupffer cells and adipose tissue macrophages of lean mice.
2738 18522831 However, adoptive transfer of PPARdelta(-/-) (Ppard(-/-)) bone marrow into wild-type mice diminishes alternative activation of hepatic macrophages, causing hepatic dysfunction and systemic insulin resistance.
2739 18560422 Moreover, expression of mIL-4 also maintained the level of CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) cells, and adoptive transfer of splenocytes from nondiabetic dsAAV8-mIP-IL-4 mice to NODscid mice was able to block the diabetes induced by splenocytes co-adoptively transferred from nondiabetic dsAAV-mIP-eGFP mice.
2740 18562629 INO-2002 treatment decreased pancreatic levels of interleukin (IL)-12 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha, while increasing levels of IL-4 and IL-10.
2741 18562629 INO-2002 also reduced pancreatic levels of the chemokine MIP-1 alpha.
2742 18606638 Impaired SLAM-SLAM homotypic interaction between invariant NKT cells and dendritic cells affects differentiation of IL-4/IL-10-secreting NKT2 cells in nonobese diabetic mice.
2743 18606638 The regulatory function of invariant NKT (iNKT) cells for tolerance induction and prevention of autoimmunity is linked to a specific cytokine profile that comprises the secretion of type 2 cytokines like IL-4 and IL-10 (NKT2 cytokine profile).
2744 18606638 In contrast, mature NOD mDC express significantly lower levels of SLAM and are unable to promote GATA-3 (the SLAM-induced intracellular signal) up-regulation and IL-4/IL-10 production in iNKT cells from NOD or C57BL/6 mice.
2745 18606638 Impaired SLAM-SLAM homotypic interaction between invariant NKT cells and dendritic cells affects differentiation of IL-4/IL-10-secreting NKT2 cells in nonobese diabetic mice.
2746 18606638 The regulatory function of invariant NKT (iNKT) cells for tolerance induction and prevention of autoimmunity is linked to a specific cytokine profile that comprises the secretion of type 2 cytokines like IL-4 and IL-10 (NKT2 cytokine profile).
2747 18606638 In contrast, mature NOD mDC express significantly lower levels of SLAM and are unable to promote GATA-3 (the SLAM-induced intracellular signal) up-regulation and IL-4/IL-10 production in iNKT cells from NOD or C57BL/6 mice.
2748 18606638 Impaired SLAM-SLAM homotypic interaction between invariant NKT cells and dendritic cells affects differentiation of IL-4/IL-10-secreting NKT2 cells in nonobese diabetic mice.
2749 18606638 The regulatory function of invariant NKT (iNKT) cells for tolerance induction and prevention of autoimmunity is linked to a specific cytokine profile that comprises the secretion of type 2 cytokines like IL-4 and IL-10 (NKT2 cytokine profile).
2750 18606638 In contrast, mature NOD mDC express significantly lower levels of SLAM and are unable to promote GATA-3 (the SLAM-induced intracellular signal) up-regulation and IL-4/IL-10 production in iNKT cells from NOD or C57BL/6 mice.
2751 18641312 In parallel, the production of IL-4 and IFN-gamma following alpha-GalCer stimulation was proportionally reduced.
2752 18675592 Whereas intramuscular injection of pGAD65 promoted a predominant type 1 CD4(+) T cell response and failed to suppress ongoing beta cell autoimmunity, gene gun vaccination preferentially induced IL-4 secreting CD4(+) T cells and significantly delayed the onset of diabetes.
2753 18716002 Moreover, blockade of IFN-alpha receptor 1 in NOD mice by a neutralizing antibody at 2-3 weeks of age significantly delayed the onset and decreased the incidence of type 1 diabetes, increased the relative number of immature dendritic cells in the PLNs, and enhanced the ability of spleen CD4(+) T cells to produce IL-4 and IL-10.
2754 18725525 Dicer-deficient T reg lineage cells failed to remain stable, as a subset of cells down-regulated the T reg cell-specific transcription factor FoxP3, whereas the majority expressed altered levels of multiple genes and proteins (including Neuropilin 1, glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4) associated with the T reg cell fingerprint.
2755 18725525 In fact, a significant percentage of the T reg lineage cells took on a T helper cell memory phenotype including increased levels of CD127, interleukin 4, and interferon gamma.
2756 18778952 Four weeks later, splenocytes were harvested, mitogen stimulated, and analyzed for cytokine production (IL-2, IL-4, and IL-10) along with stimulation indices (SI).
2757 18778952 Stimulated IL-10 concentrations were elevated in STZ-treated CFTR-/- compared to LR-treated animals and controls (p<0.05).
2758 18778952 IL-2 levels were greater in CFTR-/- mice compared to controls (p<0.05), but unrelated to STZ.
2759 18778952 Reinforcing generalized cytokine up-regulation in CFTR-/-, IL-4 levels were greater in CFTR-/- mice compared to C57BL/6J, but FVB/NJ mice demonstrated greatest concentrations following STZ.
2760 18778952 Four weeks later, splenocytes were harvested, mitogen stimulated, and analyzed for cytokine production (IL-2, IL-4, and IL-10) along with stimulation indices (SI).
2761 18778952 Stimulated IL-10 concentrations were elevated in STZ-treated CFTR-/- compared to LR-treated animals and controls (p<0.05).
2762 18778952 IL-2 levels were greater in CFTR-/- mice compared to controls (p<0.05), but unrelated to STZ.
2763 18778952 Reinforcing generalized cytokine up-regulation in CFTR-/-, IL-4 levels were greater in CFTR-/- mice compared to C57BL/6J, but FVB/NJ mice demonstrated greatest concentrations following STZ.
2764 18797414 This pattern was also observed in other immunomodulatory factors (notably cortisol and epidermal growth factor), while (interleukin [IL]-1alpha, IL-4, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, TNF-alpha, Eotaxin) did not change significantly.
2765 18850043 EEPHC significantly suppressed the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules and the costimulatory molecules CD40 and CD86 in NOD BM-DCs.
2766 18850043 Furthermore, splenocytes from the protected mice produced high amounts of IL-4 and IL-10 and low levels of IL-2 and interferon gamma, suggesting that these DCs deficient in NF- kappaB activity are responsible for the apparent shift in type 2 helper T cells.
2767 18931971 Furthermore, IL-27 up-regulated pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-gamma and IL-17 and down-regulated anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4, TGF-beta, and IL-10 secreted by diabetic splenocytes.
2768 18940257 In particular, the ability of certain cytokines, for example, IL-2, to provide vital survival signals to regulatory cells and to trigger death of effector T cells or impede IL-15 driven expansion of memory cells has spurred several trials.
2769 18940257 The ability of IFNgamma, IL-4, TNFalpha, and lymphotoxin to exert selective effects upon crucial lymphocyte subset populations in vivo may also enable translation into potent therapies.
2770 19006694 CD4(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells originate primarily from thymic differentiation, but conversion of mature T lymphocytes to Foxp3 positivity can be elicited by several means, including in vitro activation in the presence of TGF-beta.
2771 19006694 We showed here that, rather than enhancing TGF-beta signaling directly in naive CD4(+) T cells, RA negatively regulated an accompanying population of CD4(+) T cells with a CD44(hi) memory and effector phenotype.
2772 19006694 These memory cells actively inhibited the TGF-beta-induced conversion of naive CD4(+) T cells through the synthesis of a set of cytokines (IL-4, IL-21, IFN-gamma) whose expression was coordinately curtailed by RA.
2773 19026451 Potential diabetes susceptibility genes include immuno-regulatory TH1/TH2 cytokines such as IFNgamma, IL-12, IL-4 and IL-10.
2774 19026451 When SNPs were examined for an association with diabetes by case:control analysis significant associations were observed for IL-4 in three breeds, the Collie, Cairn Terrier and Schnauzer and for IL-10 in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
2775 19026451 Potential diabetes susceptibility genes include immuno-regulatory TH1/TH2 cytokines such as IFNgamma, IL-12, IL-4 and IL-10.
2776 19026451 When SNPs were examined for an association with diabetes by case:control analysis significant associations were observed for IL-4 in three breeds, the Collie, Cairn Terrier and Schnauzer and for IL-10 in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
2777 19120317 Multiple studies have shown that thymus-derived naturally occurring Tregs constitutively express the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor FoxP3 in addition to high levels of CD25, the negative co-stimulatory molecule CTLA-4, and the glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor-related protein GITR.
2778 19120317 At variance, adaptive or induced Tregs acquire these phenotypic markers as they differentiate in the periphery, following adequate stimulation in the appropriate environment, together with their capacity to produce immunomodulatory cytokines (mainly, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-beta) and to display regulatory capacities.
2779 19120317 Moreover, data are presented that simultaneous blockade of CTLA4 and TGF-beta further impairs immunoregulatory circuits that control disease progression.
2780 19188932 Induction of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cell response by glatiramer acetate in type 1 diabetes.
2781 19188932 Treatment with GA significantly reduced the diabetic rate in the mice and ameliorated insulitis, which coincided with increased CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cell response in treated mice.
2782 19188932 IL-4 was found to maintain Foxp3 expression and regulatory function of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs).
2783 19224710 A profound and progressive infiltration with CD4(+), CD8(+) cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages was identified in adenovirus transduced grafts, which paralleled a decline in beta-gal expression.
2784 19224710 Intragraft interferon (IFN)-gamma and RANTES mRNA expression was not different between transduced and untransduced islet grafts, despite an increased expression of CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5).
2785 19224710 No significant splenocyte IFN-gamma and interleukin (IL)-4 production or serum anti-adenoviral antibodies were discovered albeit IgM antibody was detected in transduced grafts.
2786 19234158 We demonstrated that in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, gal-1 therapy reduces significantly the amount of Th1 cells, augments the number of T cells secreting IL-4 or IL-10 specific for islet cell Ag, and causes peripheral deletion of beta-cell-reactive T cells.
2787 19234158 Preventive gal-1 therapy shifted the composition of the insulitis into an infiltrate that did not invade the islets and that contained a significantly reduced number of Th1 cells and a higher percentage of CD4(+) T cells with content of IL-4, IL-5, or IL-10.
2788 19234158 We demonstrated that in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, gal-1 therapy reduces significantly the amount of Th1 cells, augments the number of T cells secreting IL-4 or IL-10 specific for islet cell Ag, and causes peripheral deletion of beta-cell-reactive T cells.
2789 19234158 Preventive gal-1 therapy shifted the composition of the insulitis into an infiltrate that did not invade the islets and that contained a significantly reduced number of Th1 cells and a higher percentage of CD4(+) T cells with content of IL-4, IL-5, or IL-10.
2790 19361556 The expression of mRNA coding IFN-gamma was lower but that of IL-4 was higher in B7-H4-NIT transplanted recipients than in the control animals.
2791 19557358 At the cell level, the hexane fraction markedly inhibited beta-hexosaminidase release from RBL-2H3 mast cells and suppressed the expressions of mRNA interferon-gamma and interleukin-4 cytokines produced by T helper cells (type 1 and 2).
2792 19752032 Helminth infection can reduce insulitis and type 1 diabetes through CD25- and IL-10-independent mechanisms.
2793 19752032 Interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-10, and IL-13 expression and the frequency of CD4(+) CD25(+) FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells were elevated in mesenteric and pancreatic lymph nodes.
2794 19752032 Depletion of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells in vivo did not abrogate H. polygyrus-induced T1D protection, nor did anti-IL-10 receptor blocking antibody.
2795 19752032 These findings suggest that infection with H. polygyrus significantly inhibits T1D in NOD mice through CD25- and IL-10-independent mechanisms and also reduces the severity of T1D when administered late after the onset of insulitis.
2796 19855244 Treatment group showed increased serum interleukin (IL)-10 (twofold) and decreased inducible protein-10 and IL-4 (threefold) in luminex.
2797 19855244 Significantly reduced frequency of interferon-gamma (4.5-fold), IL-4 (3.5-fold), IL-2 (2.3-fold), and IL-17 (fourfold) producing T-cell populations were found in ELISPOT.
2798 19855244 OA-treated grafts had significant reduced and delayed infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
2799 19855244 Treatment group showed increased serum interleukin (IL)-10 (twofold) and decreased inducible protein-10 and IL-4 (threefold) in luminex.
2800 19855244 Significantly reduced frequency of interferon-gamma (4.5-fold), IL-4 (3.5-fold), IL-2 (2.3-fold), and IL-17 (fourfold) producing T-cell populations were found in ELISPOT.
2801 19855244 OA-treated grafts had significant reduced and delayed infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
2802 19886740 Unexpectedly, the ratio of CD4(+):CD8(+) T cells was tightly controlled in the islets throughout diabetogenesis.
2803 19886740 The frequency of IL-4(+) CD4(+) T cells started high but quickly fell to 3% of the population that was maintained with increasing inflammation.
2804 19886740 A significant portion of the CD8(+) T cells were islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-related protein specific in both male and female NOD mice and this population was antigen experienced and increased at high levels of islet inflammation.
2805 19956098 Individual SNPs and SNP haplotypes in IL4R, which encodes the alpha-chain of the IL4 and IL13 receptors, have been associated with T1D in some reports, but not in others.
2806 20069130 Infected mice that received MLDS did not show an increase in their regulatory T cell population, however, they had a greater number of alternatively activated macrophages, higher levels of the cytokine IL-4, and lower levels of TNF-alpha.
2807 20359955 Splenocytes of NOD mice immunized with this peptide secreted IL-4 and IL-10 in response to L7-24.
2808 20364398 VEGF and IL-4 gene variability and its association with the risk of coronary heart disease in north Indian population.
2809 20364398 In this study, we have analyzed the effect of 1154 A/G polymorphism of VEGF and 70 bp VNTR polymorphism of intron 3 in IL-4 genes in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients (n = 300) and their age matched controls (n = 300).
2810 20364398 GG genotype of VEGF has also shown significant association with IL-4 (P2P2 and P1P2) genotypes.

2815 20364398 In this study, we have analyzed the effect of 1154 A/G polymorphism of VEGF and 70 bp VNTR polymorphism of intron 3 in IL-4 genes in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients (n = 300) and their age matched controls (n = 300).
2816 20364398 GG genotype of VEGF has also shown significant association with IL-4 (P2P2 and P1P2) genotypes.
2817 20371733 Intracerebroventricular pretreatment with PS1145, an inhibitor of IKKbeta (a key intracellular mediator of inflammatory signaling), blocked both IL-4 effects, suggesting a causal relationship between IL-4-induced weight gain and hypothalamic inflammation.
2818 20406305 In this study we show that the PPARdelta agonists GW501516 and L165041 ameliorate MOGp35-55-induced EAE in C57BL/6 mice by blocking interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-17 production by T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th17 cells.
2819 20406305 The inhibition of EAE by PPARdelta agonists was also associated with a decrease in IL-12 and IL-23 and an increase in IL-4 and IL-10 expression in the CNS and lymphoid organs.
2820 20406664 Increased anti-GAD65 IgG1, serum IgA and unchanged IgG2a antibodies titers; together with an increase of IL-4, IL-10 production and a decrease of IFN-gamma production suggested possible activation of GAD65-specific Th2 immune responses.
2821 20498357 Here we report that IL-9 is secreted by human naive CD4 T cells in response to differentiation by Th9 (TGF-beta and IL-4) or Th17 polarizing conditions.
2822 20498357 Yet, these differentiated naive cells did not coexpress IL-17 and IL-9, unless they were repeatedly stimulated under Th17 differentiation-inducing conditions.
2823 20498357 In contrast to the naive cells, memory CD4 T cells were induced to secrete IL-9 by simply providing TGF-beta during stimulation, as neither IL-4 nor proinflammatory cytokines were required.
2824 20498357 Furthermore, the addition of TGF-beta to the Th17-inducing cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-21, IL-23) that induce memory cells to secrete IL-17, resulted in the marked coexpression of IL-9 in IL-17 producing memory cells.
2825 20498357 The proinflammatory cytokine mediating TGF-beta-dependent coexpression of IL-9 and IL-17 was identified to be IL-1beta.
2826 20498357 Moreover, circulating monocytes were potent costimulators of IL-9 production by Th17 cells via their capacity to secrete IL-1beta.
2827 20498357 Finally, to determine whether IL-9/IL-17 coproducing CD4 cells were altered in an inflammatory condition, we examined patients with autoimmune diabetes and demonstrated that these subjects exhibit a higher frequency of memory CD4 cells with the capacity to transition into IL-9(+)IL-17(+) cells.
2828 20498357 These data demonstrate the presence of IL-17(+)IL-9(+) CD4 cells induced by IL-1beta that may play a role in human autoimmune disease.
2829 20498357 Here we report that IL-9 is secreted by human naive CD4 T cells in response to differentiation by Th9 (TGF-beta and IL-4) or Th17 polarizing conditions.
2830 20498357 Yet, these differentiated naive cells did not coexpress IL-17 and IL-9, unless they were repeatedly stimulated under Th17 differentiation-inducing conditions.
2831 20498357 In contrast to the naive cells, memory CD4 T cells were induced to secrete IL-9 by simply providing TGF-beta during stimulation, as neither IL-4 nor proinflammatory cytokines were required.

2833 20498357 The proinflammatory cytokine mediating TGF-beta-dependent coexpression of IL-9 and IL-17 was identified to be IL-1beta.
2834 20498357 Moreover, circulating monocytes were potent costimulators of IL-9 production by Th17 cells via their capacity to secrete IL-1beta.
2835 20498357 Finally, to determine whether IL-9/IL-17 coproducing CD4 cells were altered in an inflammatory condition, we examined patients with autoimmune diabetes and demonstrated that these subjects exhibit a higher frequency of memory CD4 cells with the capacity to transition into IL-9(+)IL-17(+) cells.
2836 20498357 These data demonstrate the presence of IL-17(+)IL-9(+) CD4 cells induced by IL-1beta that may play a role in human autoimmune disease.
2837 20529823 The aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that T regulatory cells express pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, elements of cytotoxicity and OX40/4-1BB molecules.
2838 20529823 Concurrently with the flow cytometric assessment of Tregs we separated CD4+CD25+CD127dim/- cells for further mRNA analysis. mRNA levels for transcription factor FoxP3, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (interferon gamma, interleukin-2, interleukin-4, interleukin-10, transforming growth factor beta1 and tumor necrosis factor alpha), activatory molecules (OX40, 4-1BB) and elements of cytotoxicity (granzyme B, perforin 1) were determined by real-time PCR technique.
2839 20529823 Lower OX40 and higher 4-1BB mRNA but not protein levels in Treg cells in diabetic patients compared to the healthy children were noted.
2840 20529823 Our observations confirm the presence of mRNA for pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in CD4+CD25+CD127dim/- cells in the peripheral blood of children with T1DM.
2841 20674317 The pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1 and TNFα, as well as the Th1 cytokines, IL-2 and IFNγ were more elevated in female NOD mice whereas the Th2 cytokine, IL-4, was more depressed in these mice compared to their male counterparts.
2842 20703434 Differential effects of cytokines IFN-gamma and IL-4 in the development of inflammatory macrophages, and the distinct developmental pathways of proinflammatory or tissue-repair-associated monocytes suggest that controlling the activity of these monocytes could be part of an immune intervention strategy to prevent T1D.
2843 20703439 The ability of encapsulated islets to survive in this mouse model might partly be attributed to the presence of Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-10, which are known to induce graft tolerance.
2844 20703439 As another result, the maintained viability of transplanted islets on the NOD/SCID background emphasized a critical role of protective mechanisms in autoimmune diabetes transplanted subjects due to specific immunoregulatory effects provided by IL-4 and IL-10.
2845 20703439 The ability of encapsulated islets to survive in this mouse model might partly be attributed to the presence of Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-10, which are known to induce graft tolerance.

2847 21050716 To this end, we determined the feasibility of cloning and expanding human CD4(+) Treg specific for the type 1 diabetes autoantigens, GAD65 and proinsulin.
2848 21050716 Blood CD4(+) cells stimulated to divide in response to GAD65 (in three healthy individuals) or proinsulin (in one type 1 diabetic) were flow sorted into single cells and cultured on feeder cells in the presence of anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, IL-2 and IL-4.
2849 21050716 Treg clones were not distinguished by markers of conventional CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg and suppressed independently of cell-cell contact but not via known soluble suppressor factors.
2850 21127885 Serum concentrations of interleukin-4 and interferon-gamma in relation to severe left ventricular dysfunction in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
2851 21321581 Protection against diabetes was accompanied by histone hyperacetylation in pancreas and spleen, enhanced frequency of CD4(+) CD62L(+) cells in the spleen, reduction in cellular infiltration of islets, restoration of normoglycemia and glucose-induced insulin release by beta cells.
2852 21321581 Activation of splenic T lymphocytes derived from protected mice in vitro with pharmacological agents that bypass the antigen receptor or immobilized anti-CD3 antibody resulted in enhanced expression of Ifng mRNA and protein without altering the expression of Il4, Il17, Il18, Inos and Tnfa genes nor the secretion of IL-2, IL-4, IL-17 and TNF-α proteins.
2853 21321581 Consistently, expression of the transcription factor involved in Ifng transcription, Tbet/Tbx21 but not Gata3 and Rorgt, respectively, required for the transcription of Il4 and Il17, was upregulated in activated splenocytes of protected mice.
2854 21321581 Protection against diabetes was accompanied by histone hyperacetylation in pancreas and spleen, enhanced frequency of CD4(+) CD62L(+) cells in the spleen, reduction in cellular infiltration of islets, restoration of normoglycemia and glucose-induced insulin release by beta cells.
2855 21321581 Activation of splenic T lymphocytes derived from protected mice in vitro with pharmacological agents that bypass the antigen receptor or immobilized anti-CD3 antibody resulted in enhanced expression of Ifng mRNA and protein without altering the expression of Il4, Il17, Il18, Inos and Tnfa genes nor the secretion of IL-2, IL-4, IL-17 and TNF-α proteins.
2856 21321581 Consistently, expression of the transcription factor involved in Ifng transcription, Tbet/Tbx21 but not Gata3 and Rorgt, respectively, required for the transcription of Il4 and Il17, was upregulated in activated splenocytes of protected mice.
2857 21346228 Typical Th2 cytokines such as IL-10 or IL-4 were undetectable in 2.5mi(+) T cells, arguing against a mechanism of immune deviation.
2858 21431832 Several proinflammatory cytokines, acute-phase proteins, and cell adhesion molecules, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukines (IL), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), seem to play a role in the low-grade systemic inflammation observed in these subjects.
2859 21431832 Recent research showed that combined exercise has greater anti-inflammatory effects than aerobic or resistance exercise alone causing a deepest decrease in CRP, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, leptin, and resistin and a higher increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-4, IL-10, and adiponectin.
2860 21458378 The suppression was likely to be mediated by T cells, as we found that regulatory CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) cells were significantly increased in G/10-DC treated animals.
2861 21458378 In vivo, the G/10-DCs inhibited diabetogenic T cell proliferation; in vitro, they had reduced expression of costimulatory molecules and produced little IL-12/23 p40 or IL-6 but a large amount of IL-10 when compared with DCs matured in the presence of IL-4 (G/4-DC).
2862 21593413 IL-21 is a pleiotropic type 1 cytokine that shares the common cytokine receptor γ-chain, γ(c), with IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15.
2863 21593413 IL-21 is most homologous to IL-2.
2864 21593413 Whereas IL-2 promotes development of regulatory T cells and confers protection from autoimmune disease, IL-21 promotes differentiation of Th17 cells and is implicated in several autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes and systemic lupus erythematosus.
2865 21593413 However, the roles of IL-21 and IL-2 in CNS autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and uveitis have been controversial.
2866 21593413 Here, we generated Il21-mCherry/Il2-emGFP dual-reporter transgenic mice and showed that development of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) correlated with the presence of T cells coexpressing IL-21 and IL-2 into the retina.
2867 21636855 p16INK4a deficiency promotes IL-4-induced polarization and inhibits proinflammatory signaling in macrophages.

2887 21647406 DCs play a crucial role in the presentation of autoantigen and activation of diabetogenic T cells, and IRF4 and IRF8 are crucial genes involved in the development of DCs.
2888 21647406 Importantly, levels of IRF4 and IRF8 expression were lower in tolerogenic bone marrow derived DCs (BMDCs) generated with GM-CSF as compared to immunogenic BMDCs generated with GM-CSF and IL-4.
2889 21647406 Analysis of splenic DCs subsets indicated that high expression of IRF4 was associated with increased levels of CD4(+)CD8α(-)IRF4(+)CD11c(+) DCs but not CD4(-)CD8α(+)IRF8(+)CD11c(+) DCs in NOD mice.
2890 21647406 Our results showed that IRF4 expression was up-regulated in NOD mice and correlated with the increased levels of CD4(+)CD8α(-) DCs, suggesting that IRF4 may be involved in abnormal DC functions in type 1 diabetes in NOD mice.
2891 21678423 We found that F4/80(+) peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEMs) from mice with diabetes for 4 months displayed significantly reduced CD86 and CD54 expression and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-6 production but enhanced nitric oxide (NO) secretion compared with control mice when treated with interferon (IFN)-γ and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), while the activity of arginase in PEMs from diabetic mice was significantly higher than control mice when stimulating with IL-4.
2892 21678423 In an in vitro culture system, high glucose and insulin significantly altered TNF-α, IL-6, and NO production and arginase activity of macrophages, which was reversed by the treatment with AKT and ERK inhibitors.
2893 21708950 HDAC9 deficiency also resulted in increased GATA3 and roquin and decreased BCL6 gene expression.
2894 21708950 HDAC9 deficiency was associated with increased site-specific lysine histone acetylation at H3 (H3K9, H3K14, and H3K18) globally that was localized to IL-4, roquin, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ promoters with increased gene expression, respectively.
2895 21717080 The protective effect, as a result of vaccination, correlated with an increase in the levels of IL-10 and IL-4 cytokines as well as a skewing to Th2-dependent isotype antibodies in serum.
2896 21724337 Human pathogenesis of VL and reduced levels of leptin both are associated with increase in Th2 type immune response, characterized by secretion of cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-10.
2897 21724337 Whereas, the protective immune response during visceral leishmaniasis is associated with effective Th1 type immune response characterized by secretion of IFN-γ, IL-2 and IL-12, which correlates with leptin induction of T cells polarizing to Th1 population and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, and also inhibition of Th2 type response.
2898 21780542 By measuring the values of TNF-a, fibrinogen, high sensitive capsule reactive protein (hs-CRP), IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, at the beginning of non-surgical periodontal therapy and it has been after 3 months of treatment, noticed a relevant reduction only of TNF-a and fibrinogen.
2899 21894160 Regulation of glucose/lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity by interleukin-4.
2900 21900603 In isolated macrophages, ERα was necessary for repression of inflammation, maintenance of oxidative metabolism, IL-4-mediated induction of alternative activation, full phagocytic capacity in response to LPS, and oxidized LDL-induced expression of ApoE and Abca1.
2901 21984919 Compared with the healthy control mice, diabetic mice had significantly fewer c-kit+ stem cells, and these cells had a lower potency of endothelial differentiation; however, the production of the angiogenic growth factor VEGF did not differ between groups.
2902 21984919 A pathway-focused array showed that the c-kit+ stem cells from diabetic mice had up-regulated expression levels of many inflammatory factors, including Tlr4, Cxcl9, Il9, Tgfb1, Il4, and Tnfsf5, but no obvious change in the expression levels of cell cycle molecules.
2903 21984919 Interestingly, diabetes-related alterations of the extracellular matrix and adhesion molecules were varied; Pecam, Mmp10, Lamc1, Itgb7, Mmp9, and Timp4 were up-regulated, but Col11a1, Fn1, Admts2, and Itgav were down-regulated.
2904 22043003 To test this, we treated hyperglycemic NOD mice with F(ab')(2) fragments of anti-CD3 mAb with or without IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), or anti-IL-1β mAb.
2905 22043003 Combination-treated mice had increased IL-5, IL-4, and interferon (IFN)-γ levels in circulation.
2906 22043003 After 1 month, there were increased concentrations of IgG1 isotype antibodies and reduced intrapancreatic expression of IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-17 despite normal splenocyte cytokine secretion.

2913 22174447 We tested these hypotheses by investigating whether infection with the filarial nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis prevents diabetes onset in IL-4-deficient NOD mice and whether depletion or absence of regulatory T cells, IL-10, or TGF-β alters helminth-mediated protection.
2914 22174447 Infections in immunocompetent and IL-4-deficient NOD mice were accompanied by increases in CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cell frequencies and numbers, respectively, and helminth infection increased the proliferation of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) cells.
2915 22174447 We tested these hypotheses by investigating whether infection with the filarial nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis prevents diabetes onset in IL-4-deficient NOD mice and whether depletion or absence of regulatory T cells, IL-10, or TGF-β alters helminth-mediated protection.
2916 22174447 Infections in immunocompetent and IL-4-deficient NOD mice were accompanied by increases in CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cell frequencies and numbers, respectively, and helminth infection increased the proliferation of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) cells.
2917 22178606 We report here that high glucose (HG) treatment stimulated astrocytic morphological alteration coupled with changes in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin expression.
2918 22178606 Additionally, HG upregulated the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); however, its effects on transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) expression were not evident.
2919 22178606 HG treatment induced increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT 3).
2920 22178606 HG-induced expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-4, and VEGF was blocked by ROS scavenger and inhibitors specific for NF-κB and STAT 3, respectively.
2921 22178606 We report here that high glucose (HG) treatment stimulated astrocytic morphological alteration coupled with changes in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin expression.

2925 22586579 The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (Pdk1)/forkhead transcription factor (Foxo1) pathway is important in regulating glucose and energy homeostasis, but little is known about this pathway in adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs).
2926 22586579 To investigate this, we generated transgenic mice that carried macrophage/granulocyte-specific mutations, including a Pdk1 knockout (LysMPdk1(-/-)), a Pdk1 knockout with transactivation-defective Foxo1 (Δ256LysMPdk1(-/-)), a constitutively active nuclear (CN) Foxo1 (CNFoxo1(LysM)), or a transactivation-defective Foxo1 (Δ256Foxo1(LysM)).
2927 22586579 CNFoxo1(LysM) promoted transcription of the C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (Ccr2) in ATMs and increased M1 macrophages in adipose tissue.
2928 22586579 Pdk1 deletion or Foxo1 activation in bone marrow-derived macrophages abolished insulin and interleukin-4 induction of genes involved in alternative macrophage activation.
2929 22586579 Thus, Pdk1 regulated macrophage infiltration by inhibiting Foxo1-induced Ccr2 expression.
2930 22586579 This shows that the macrophage Pdk1/Foxo1 pathway is important in regulating insulin sensitivity in vivo.
2931 22728763 Targeting Janus tyrosine kinase 3 (JAK3) with an inhibitor induces secretion of TGF-β by CD4+ T cells.
2932 22728763 Here, we show that the JAK3 inhibitor 4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-amino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (WHI-P131) suppresses proliferation of short-term cultured NOD CD4(+) T cells through induction of apoptosis, while promoting survival of a particular population of long-term cultured cells.
2933 22728763 It was found that the surviving cells were not of the CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) phenotype.
2934 22728763 They secreted decreased amounts of IL-10, IL-4 and interferon (IFN)-γ compared to the cells not exposed to the optimal concentrations of JAK3 inhibitor.
2935 22728763 In vivo treatment of prediabetic NOD mice with WHI-P131 did not affect the frequency and number of splenic and pancreatic lymph node CD4(+)FoxP3(+) Tregs, while generating an elevated numbers of CD4(+)FoxP3(-) TGF-β-secreting T cells.
2936 22728763 In conclusion, our data suggest an induction of TGF-β-secreting CD4(+) T cells as the underlying mechanism for antidiabetogenic effects obtained by the treatment with a JAK3 inhibitor.
2937 22745325 We used a panel of cytokines and other stimuli to discern the most effective regimen for in vitro induction of immunosuppressive macrophages (M2r) and determined interleukin (IL)-4/IL-10/transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) to be optimal.
2938 22745325 M2r cells expressed programmed cell death 1 ligand-2, fragment crystallizable region γ receptor IIb, IL-10, and TGF-β, had a potent deactivating effect on proinflammatory lipopolysaccharide/interferon-γ-stimulated macrophages, and significantly suppressed T-cell proliferation.
2939 22888041 The concentrations of IL-4 and IL-8 were significantly increased in allogeneic serum, which induced a pro-inflammatory environment, including the release of IL-4, IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 into the conditioned media of cell cultures.
2940 22906888 IL-1β, IL-18, IL-12, IL-10 and IL-4 were significantly higher among the youngest children and males had significantly lower levels of IL-10 and IL-12 but higher levels of TNF-α.
2941 22936933 Studies employing mice lacking a functional p110δ protein, as well as the use of highly-selective chemical inhibitors of p110δ, have revealed that signaling via p110δ-containing PI3K complexes (PI3Kδ) is critical for B-cell survival, migration, and activation, functioning downstream of key receptors on B cells including the B-cell antigen receptor, chemokine receptors, pro-survival receptors such as BAFF-R and the IL-4 receptor, and co-stimulatory receptors such as CD40 and Toll-like receptors (TLRs).
2942 23149823 These were accompanied by overexpression of negative regulators of NFκB, TLR, and other proinflammatory pathways, e.g., A20, SOCS1, IRAK-M, IκBα, Triad3A, Tollip, SIGIRR, and ST2L.
2943 23149823 Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory molecules, e.g., IL-10, IL-4, and TSLP that favor TH2 responses were strongly induced.
2944 23213311 EDR dose-dependently decreased the production of NO and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE(2), as well as mRNA levels of iNOS, COX-2, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, as determined by western blot and RT-PCR analysis, respectively.
2945 23213311 Furthermore, activation of the nuclear transcription factor, NF-κB, but not that of IL-4 and IL-10, in macrophages was inhibited by EDR.
2946 23349499 Cereal-SPF rats displayed increased gut CD3(+) and CD8α(+) lymphocytes, ratio of Ifng to Il4 mRNA, and Lck expression, indicating T-cell activation.
2947 23349499 The cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (Camp) gene was upregulated in the jejunum of HC diet-protected rats, and CAMP(+) cells colocalized with CD163.
2948 23405091 In the prevention studies, anti-CD20 plus proinsulin resulted in modest increases in Tregs in pancreatic lymph nodes and elevated levels of proinsulin-specific CD4+ T-cells that produced IL-4.
2949 23405091 Thus, combination therapy with anti-CD20 and either oral insulin or proinsulin does not protect hyperglycemic NOD mice, but the combination with proinsulin offers limited efficacy in T1D prevention, potentially by augmentation of proinsulin-specific IL-4 production.
2950 23405091 In the prevention studies, anti-CD20 plus proinsulin resulted in modest increases in Tregs in pancreatic lymph nodes and elevated levels of proinsulin-specific CD4+ T-cells that produced IL-4.
2951 23405091 Thus, combination therapy with anti-CD20 and either oral insulin or proinsulin does not protect hyperglycemic NOD mice, but the combination with proinsulin offers limited efficacy in T1D prevention, potentially by augmentation of proinsulin-specific IL-4 production.
2952 23421092 Trials of recombinant interleukin production in plants relate almost exclusively to tobacco, where through the transformation of the nuclear genome (agroinfection) monomeric (IL-2, IL-4, IL-13, IL-18), homodimeric (IL-10) and single-chain heterodimeric (IL-12) interleukins have been obtained.

2955 23554983 The anti-inflammatory cytokines detected were IL-5 and IL-4 with levels peaking at days 1 and 7, respectively.
2956 23600826 Concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-12(p70), IL-18, IFN-γ, of regulatory cytokines IL-4, IL-10, IL-17 and chemokine CCL2 (MCP-1) were measured by multiplex-bead technology from supernatants.
2957 23600826 Co-incubation of fatty acids with uric acid resulted in a significant reduction of IL-10, IL-12(p70), IFN-γ and CCL2 (MCP-1) concentrations in supernatants compared to incubation with uric acid alone (P < 0·0001).
2958 23600826 Similarly, co-incubation of fatty acids with glucose diminished secretion of IL-10, IFN-γ and CCL2 (monocyte chemotactic protein-1), while IL-8 was up-regulated (P < 0·001).
2959 23630352 OX40L/Jagged1 cosignaling by GM-CSF-induced bone marrow-derived dendritic cells is required for the expansion of functional regulatory T cells.
2960 23630352 Concurrent signaling induced by OX40L and Jagged1 via OX40 and Notch3 receptors expressed on Tregs was essential for the Treg expansion with sustained FoxP3 expression.
2961 23630352 Adoptive transfer of only OX40L(+)Jagged1(+) BMDCs led to Treg expansion, increased production of IL-4 and IL-10, and suppression of EAT in the recipient mice.
2962 23651394 Increases in serum and urine galactose and urine galactitol were observed in the second month of life in formula-fed infants, along with higher levels of TNFα, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-4, and other cytokines and growth factors at week 4.
2963 23664771 We previously reported that IL-1 Trap (a hybrid molecule consisting of the extracellular domain of IL-1 receptor accessory protein and IL-1 receptor type 1 arranged inline and fused to the Fc-portion of IgG1) can protect rat pancreatic islets in vitro against noxious effects induced by IL-1β.
2964 23664771 The treatments were maintained until ROD (i.e. a blood glucose value ⩾11.1mM for 2 consecutive days) or until 5days after transplantation. 3 out of 11 mice treated with IL-1 Trap showed a significantly increased graft survival compared to all other mice, and analysis of relative cytokine mRNA levels in isolated spleen cells showed elevated IL-4 mRNA levels, but no differences in FoxP3 or iNOS staining of grafts, from mice treated with IL-1 Trap, at both endpoints, compared to both control groups.
2965 23739939 We then review research on R/S, cardiovascular functions (CV reactivity, heart rate variability, etc.), and inflammatory markers (IL-6, IFN-γ, CRP, fibrinogen, IL-4, IL-10).
2966 23769592 Plasma concentrations of interleukin (IL)-5, IL-6, IL-7, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were significantly higher in the prediabetic group, as compared to the control group (all p<0.05).
2967 23769592 Plasma concentrations of all the other cytokines, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70 and IL-13, seemed to be elevated in the prediabetic group, but failed to reach statistical significances.
2968 23769592 Upon merging both groups, HbA1c was found to be positively correlated with IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-5, IL-7, IL-8, TNF-α and GM-CSF.
