Abstract

Interleukin-12 is a heterodimeric cytokine and an important mediator of the cellular immune response. The recent discovery of the novel cytokine interleukin-23 has led to a re-evaluation of interleukin-12 biology, as both cytokines use a common p40 subunit. This review discusses understanding of what distinguishes these related cytokines and the infection risks associated with targeting these cytokine pathways during treatment of inflammatory diseases. Recent work has shown that interleukin-23 stimulates the development of a distinct subset of effector T cells that produce interleukin-17A. These interleukin-17A-producing cells are critical mediators of the inflammatory response in several mouse models of autoimmunity. Although it is well established that interleukin-12 is a critical mediator of host defense, the role of the interleukin-23/interleukin-17A axis during infections has only recently been evaluated. Interleukin-12 and interleukin-23 have distinct roles in mediating host defense and autoimmune inflammation. Although targeting interleukin-12 and interleukin-23 simultaneously against the common p40 subunit is efficacious in clinical trials for human autoimmune diseases, targeting of interleukin-23 alone or the downstrea...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
