Disease relevance of IL16

 

Psychiatry related information on IL16

  • Our results show that LT-NPs manifest increased CTL activity and IL-16 expression and decreased expression of TGF-beta1 and CXCR4 compared to NPs, regardless of recreational drug usage [6].
  • In the present study the presence of psychomotor agitation diagnosed by means of LCF (score 4 = confused-agitated) at the admission time in rehabilitation predicted a statistically significant better outcome at the discharge time in comparison with patients without agitation [7].

Associations of IL16 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of IL16

  • In support of this conclusion, IL-16 bound to CD9-expressing CHO cell transfectants [14].
  • Taken altogether, these data suggest that pro-IL-16 forms a complex with GABPbeta1 and HDAC3 in suppressing the transcription of Skp2 [21].
 

Regulatory relationships of IL16

  • Anti-CD9 mAbs also inhibited the IL-16-mediated activation of nontransformed human cord blood-derived MCs and mouse bone marrow-derived MCs by 50% to 60% [14].
  • Storage and release of IL-16 was further enhanced during final DC maturation induced by additional 3-day culture with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and monocyte-conditioned medium [3].
  • In concert with its chemoattractant activity, LCF induces human T-lymphocyte expression of interleukin 2 receptor [15].
  • First, the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A blocked LCF-induced p56lck activation but had no effect on the LCF-induced motile response [20].
  • IL-16 down-modulated the expression of thioredoxin and up-regulated that of IL-16 and proapoptotic genes [5].
 

Other interactions of IL16

  • RESULTS: DCs generated from peripheral monocytes by 5-day culture in the presence of IL-4 and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor acquired the capability to synthesize, store, and secrete IL-16 [3].
  • The smaller protein of 67 kDa (pro-IL-16) is expressed in cells of the immune system and contains three PDZ (postsynaptic density/disc large/zona occludens-1) domains, whereas the larger 141-kDa neuronal variant (npro-IL-16) has two additional PDZ domains in its N-terminal extension that interact with neuronal ion channels [16].
  • The synthesis by fine-needle aspiration biopsy cultures of IL-7, IL-16 and IL-18 is significantly associated with acute rejection in kidney transplants [22].
  • RESULTS: A significantly increased IL-16 level in RA patients at disease onset [median (25th-75th percentile) 45.2 (37.7-82.4) pg/ml] was observed compared to both controls [30.4 (24.4-37.0) pg/ml, p = 0.0008], and to patients with undifferentiated arthritis [29.0 (21.5-52.4) pg/ml; p = 0.005] [23].
  • Interleukin-16 (IL-16) can cause the high affinity of IL-2 receptors on CD4+ cells and is chemotaxis to Th1 cells and CD4+ T cells [24].
