Abstract

The recent identification of IL-27 (IL-27p28/EBV-induced gene 3) and IL-27R (WSX-1/gp130) has provided new insights for the biology of IL-6/IL-12 family cytokines. Initial studies indicated that IL-27 can directly regulate T cell functions and suggested an important role for it in promoting Th1 type responses. However, subsequent studies have revealed that IL-27R signaling influences a variety of immune cell types and can inhibit either Th1 or Th2 type responses. Though elucidation of the Jak/STAT signaling pathways activated by IL-27R ligation has unveiled some of the molecular mechanisms used by IL-27 to promote inflammation, little is known about the anti-inflammatory activities of this cytokine. Thus, the aim of this review is to discuss the pleotropic nature of the IL-27/IL-27R interaction and attempt to reconcile the pro- and anti-inflammatory properties of this immunomodulator.
