IL-1 and TNF (synergistic)
Source of IL-1 = macrophages

- important role in inflammation

- activate macrophages to secrete cytokines (IL-1,6,12,TNF) and chemokines (IL-8 and MCP-1)

- activate endothelial cells leading to
----->De Novo expression of: ICAM-1, VCAM-2, and E-selectin
----->Enhanced expression of ICAM-2
----->Secretion of chemokines IL-8 and MCP-1

-act on hypothalamus to induce fever and play a key role in lowering of blood pressure leading to shock
TNF alone
Source: Macrophages and Th1

-TNF enhances NADPH oxidase activity

-Activates iNOS
IL-2
Source: Thp, Th0, Th1

Growth factor for T cells

Enhances NK cell cytotoxicity

Plays role in pCTL-->CTL

INHIBITORY for Th17 cells
IL-3
Source: T cells

Hematopoiesis -- important for BOTH myeloid and lymphoid progenitor cell development
IL-4
Source: Mast cells, Th0, Th2

Required to isotype switch to IgE

Down regulation of Th1 AND iNOS (not as effective as TGF-beta)

Shifts Th0 response to Th2
IL-5
Source: Mast cells, Th2

Hematopoiesis - differentiation to eosinophils

chemotactic for eosinophils; recruiting eosinophils to tissues

activation of eosinophils
IL-6
Source: macrophages, Th2

stimulus for secretion of C-reactive protein from hepatocytes (inflammation)

in presence of TGF-beta, IL-6: Th0-->Th17
IL-7
Source: Bone Marrow stromal cells

Hematopoiesis - Bone marrow and Thymus
IL-10
Source: Th2

Down regulates IL-12 secretion by dendritic cells and macrophages (leads to down regulation of Th1 cytokines)

Down regulates iNOS (not as effective as TGF-beta)
IL-12
Source: macrophages, dendritic cells

Activates NK cells to secrete IFN-gamma
IFN-gamma
Source: NK, Th0, Th1

Activates iNOS

Enhances activation of NADPH oxidase

Down regulates production of Th2 cytokines

Critical for Th0 -->Th1 phenotype

Along with IL-2: pCTL-->CTL

Enhances expression of Class I MHC on nucleated cells

Enhances expression of Class II MHC on antigen presenting cells
IFN-alpha and IFN-beta
Source: Cells infected with viruses that produce dsRNA

Trigger production of enzymes (2'5'oligoadenylate synthetase)

Inhibition of T cell proliferation

Increase expression of Class I MHC on nucleated cells
TGF-beta
Source: Th2

**Down regulation of iNOS**

Critical for differentiation of Th0-->a/I Tregs

WHEN PRESENT WITH IL-6 critical for differentiation of Th0-->Th17
IL-17A and IL-17F
Source: Th17

Functionally: induce expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines from a wide range of cells (eg: IL-6, IL-8, GM-CSF, G-CSF, and metalloproteinases from macrophages and other cell types

Autoimmune disorders if Th17 cells specific for self antigen

IL-17A is chemotactic (direct mvmnt according to chemicals) for neutrophils
IL-21
Source: Th17

In presence of TFG-beta, plays a role in: Th0-->Th17

Growth factor of Th17
IL-22
Source: Th17

Proinflammatory
GM-CSF
Source: macrophages, T cells

Role in hematopoiesis

Role in differentiation of myeloid progenitor to GM-progenitor
G-CSF
Source: macrophages

Role in hematopoiesis

Role in differentiation of GM progenitor to granulocyte/neutrophil
M-CSF
Source: macrophages

Role in hematopoiesis

Role in differentiation of GM progenitor to monocyte
IL-8 (CXCL8)
Chemokine that is chemotactic for neutrophils

Source = Macrophages and Endothelial cells
MCP-1 (CCL2)
Chemokine that is chemotactic for monocytes

Source = macrophages and enothelial cells
Eotaxin (CCL11)
Chemokine that is chemotactic for eosinophils

Source = Epithelial cells and Fibroblasts
