Disease relevance of Il23a

  • We have analyzed the role of IL-12 versus IL-23 in two models of Helicobacter hepaticus-triggered T cell-dependent colitis, one involving anti-IL-10R monoclonal antibody treatment of infected T cell-sufficient hosts, and the other involving CD4+ T cell transfer into infected Rag-/- recipients [1].
 

Regulatory relationships of Il23a

  • Co-transfection of c-Jun and ATF2 synergistically induced p19 promoter activation, and c-Jun and ATF2 formed a protein complex, demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation [2].
 

Other interactions of Il23a

  • A critical target of IL-23 is a unique subset of tissue-homing memory T cells, which are specifically activated by IL-23 to produce the proinflammatory mediators IL-17 and IL-6 [3].
