Clostridioides difficile infection is currently the leading cause of nosocomial antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis worldwide. Cathelicidins, a major group of natural antimicrobial peptides, have antimicrobial and immunomodulatory

IL-27 attenuates IL-23 mediated inflammatory arthritis [PDF]
Interleukin 27 has both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties in autoimmunity. The anti-inflammatory effects of IL-27 are linked with inhibition of Th17 differentiation but the IL-27 effect on myeloid cells is less studied.

IL-27 controls IL-10 production in S. aureus infected macrophages.
WT bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were pre-treated with anti-IL-27 antibody at 10ng/ml, 50ng/ml &100ng/ml for 30minutes prior to exposure to S. aureus Newman at MOI 10 for 3 h.

IL-27 regulates IL-18 binding protein in skin resident cells [PDF]
IL-18 is an important mediator involved in chronic inflammatory conditions such as cutaneous lupus erythematosus, psoriasis and chronic eczema. An imbalance between IL-18 and its endogenous antagonist IL-18 binding protein (BP) may account for increased ...

The interleukin (IL)-6/IL-12 family cytokines have pleiotropic functions and play critical roles in multiple immune responses. This cytokine family has very unique characteristics in that they are composed of two distinct subunits forming a heterodimer ...

IL-27 Limits Type 2 Immunopathology Following Parainfluenza Virus Infection. [PDF]
Respiratory paramyxoviruses are important causes of morbidity and mortality, particularly of infants and the elderly. In humans, a T helper (Th)2-biased immune response to these infections is associated with increased disease severity; however, little is

T cell intrinsic STAT1 signaling prevents aberrant Th1 responses during acute toxoplasmosis
Infection-induced T cell responses must be properly tempered and terminated to prevent immuno-pathology. Using transgenic mice, we demonstrate that T cell intrinsic STAT1 signaling is required to curb inflammation during acute infection with Toxoplasma ...
