Preferential Migration of T Regulatory Cells Induced by IL-16

Abstract: As a natural ligand for CD4, IL-16 has been shown to preferentially induce migration in Th1 cells, and, in long-term cultures with IL-2, IL-16 facilitates the expansion of CD4+CD25+ cells. In addition, IL-16 has an immunomodulatory role in asthmatic inflammation, as exogenous administration significantly reduces inflammation and airway hyperreactivity. The mechanism for this, however, is not clear. Based on its functional characteristics and potential immunomodulatory role, we investigated the ability of IL-16… Show more

“…A combination of IL-17D with EBI3 results in formation of either IL-27, which is associated with negative regulation of Th17 differentiation [38], or of IL-35, an inhibitory cytokine associated with suppressive functions of regulatory T cells [39]. We detected elevated transcription of genes encoding IL-15, associated with IL-2 responsiveness and survival of NK cells [40] and expression of Foxp3 in CD4 1 T cells [41], and IL-16, linked to recruitment of CD4 1 T cells, in particular regulatory T cells [42] in H37Ra-infected iNOS -/-mice at later time points during infection.…”

“…IL-1β or TNF-α expression can lead to increased IL-16 expression by epithelial cells (Little et al, 2003) a cytokine with an immunomodulatory role in asthmatic inflammation (De Bie et al, 2002;McFadden et al, 2007). IL-1Ra is an antagonist to IL-1α/β signaling in the lung (Wilmott et al, 1998).…”

“…One hypothesis is that Treg cells are generated in the periphery and are selectively recruited from the periphery to the tumour. Recent studies have shown that certain cytokines and chemokines can selectively induce Treg cell migration over other T cell populations [20,21]. The expression of specific integrins (ie.…”
