The increased expression of IL-23 in inflammatory bowel disease promotes intraepithelial and lamina propria lymphocyte inflammatory responses and cytotoxicity
Abstract:This study analyzed IL-23p19 expression in inflamed mucosa of IBD and the role in the induction of IEL and NK cell activation as well as Th17 cell differentiation. Expression of IL-23p19 was performed by immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR. Expression of IL-23R was assessed by flow cytometry. Cytolytic activities of IEL and NK cells by IL-23 were determined by a standard (51)Cr-release assay. Cytokine levels were analyzed by ELISA and quantitative real-time PCR. Expression of IL-23p19 was incre… Show more
“…After 48 h of culture, supernatants were harvested and analysed for TNF, IFN-g, IL-17A and IL-21 production by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits according to our previous reports [15,23]. The sensitivity of each assay was 10 pg/ml.…”

Cell purity was evaluated routinely by flow cytometry and ranged from 95 to 99%.…”

“…All PCR reactions were run in triplicate and performed with 40 cycles using the following conditions: 95°C for 1 min, followed by 40 cycles at 95°C for 15 s and 60°C for 30 s. The relative target gene expression levels were calculated as a ratio relative to the b-actin reference mRNA. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis was carried out using the 2-᭝᭝Ct method [15,23,24].…”
