Cytokine-induced differentiation and proliferation of human T lymphocytesin vitro: Effects of interleukin 2 and interleukin 6

Abstract: The contents of CD8(+), CD4(+)CD8(+), CD3(+)HLA-DR(+), CD8(+)INF-gamma (+) T cells, and natural killers (CD16(+)56(+)) and NK/T cells (CD16(+)56(+)CD3(+)) increase after 7-day culturing in the presence of interleukin-2. The number of apoptotic cells and cells in S-, and G(2)+M phases of the cell cycle also increased. Interleukin-6 predominantly induced proliferation of CD3(+)HLA-DR(+) T cells and G(2)+M mitotic cells.

“…T cell and macrophage cytokines were measured ex vivo for each tissue collected from each treatment group. Cytokines with crucial roles in Th cell differentiation and clonal expansion or inflammation were selected for assessment: (1) immune cell production of IL-2, an important cytokine for development and differentiation of Th cells and proliferative responses required for clonal expansion (22); (2) IL-4 and IL-10, cytokines, which promote Th2 cell development and have anti-inflammatory functions; (3) IFN-γ and TNF-α, which promote Th1 cell development and which drive inflammation (23, 24). …”
