Cytokines are important because:
• Master regulators of the immune system
• Therapeutic reagents

Cytokine Nomenclature• Monokines - cytokines produced by moncytes• Lymphokines - cytokines produced by activated T
cells• Interleukins - cytokines produced by leukocytes
which act leukocytes• Interferons - cytokines important in controlling viral
infections and augmenting immune responses• Colony-Stimulating Factors - cytokines important in
the maturation of leukocytes• Chemokines - cytokines important in directed
migration of leukocytes during immune responses• Growth Factors - cytokines involved in stem cell
differentiation and other functions

CYTOKINE PROPERTIES
• Low molecular weight proteins or glycoproteins
• Synthesized in active and inactive forms• Secretion is brief and self-limiting• Active at very low concentrations• Signal cells by binding to specific
receptors on target cells
![Page 8: CYTOKINES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/568161d0550346895dd1c4b8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cytokine Receptors
• Each cytokine has a receptor• Receptors are grouped into 5 families• Cytokine receptors are often multi-
chain complexes• Signaling through receptors requires
multiple events

Cytokines are critical for lymphocyte development
![Page 15: CYTOKINES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/568161d0550346895dd1c4b8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
T Cell Maturation and Cytokines
• Dependent on IL-2 for activation, growth and proliferation after Ag binding
• Differentiation to helper T cell subsets (Th1 and Th2) depends on cytokines
• Th1 cells produce cytokines that aid cell-mediated immunity (IFN-g, IL-2 , others)
• Th2 cells produce cytokines that aid antibody production (IL-4, IL-5, others)
![Page 16: CYTOKINES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/568161d0550346895dd1c4b8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Dependent on multiple cytokines for activation, growth and proliferation after Ag binding
• IL-6 is a major growth factor for B cells• Multiple cytokines are involved in isotype
switching (e.g., TGF-b for IgA, IL-4 for IgE)
B Cell Maturation and Cytokines
![Page 17: CYTOKINES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/568161d0550346895dd1c4b8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cytokines in Host DefenseViral Infections
• Viruses infect by binding to a “receptor” and are internalized
• Take-over host machinery, replicate DNA or RNA
• Viral genetic material is recognized as foreign by TLRs (TLR3 - dsRNA, TLR8 - ssRNA)
• Viral TLR binding leads to production of “Interferons” - anti-viral cytokines critical to clearing viral infections
![Page 18: CYTOKINES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/568161d0550346895dd1c4b8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

INTERFERONS
Two Major Interferons:Types I and II
Type I: produced by all cells (IFN-a/b)
Type II: produced by act. T cells (IFN-g)Functions:• innate immunity - viral clearance• adaptive immunity - lymphocyte
activation/maturation
![Page 20: CYTOKINES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/568161d0550346895dd1c4b8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Interferon anti-viral mechanisms
• Induce the expression of MHC molecules
• Shut down infected host cells
- Allows Ag presentation to cytotoxic T cells- Loss of MHC expression allows targeting by NK cells
- production of 2-5 (A) synthase -> activates RNAse L -> degrades mRNA- PKR inactivates eIF-2 (a translation factor) -> blocks protein synthesis
![Page 21: CYTOKINES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/568161d0550346895dd1c4b8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cytokines in Host DefenseBacterial Infections
• Bacteria infect by a number of routes - ingested, inhaled, through cuts
• Take over a niche and replicate rapidly
• Bacterial PAMPS are recognized as foreign by TLRs (TLR4 - LPS, TLR5 - flagellin)
• Bacterial PAMP binding to TLRs leads to production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the acute phase response, critical to clearing bacterial infections

ACUTE PHASE RESPONSE
A well orchestrated sequence of events to mobilize a metabolic response of the organism to:
• Eliminate invading pathogens• Prevent on-going tissue damage• Activate repair processes
Mediated by “pro-inflammatory” cytokines including TNF-a, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8 and IFN-g
![Page 24: CYTOKINES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/568161d0550346895dd1c4b8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Tumor Necrosis Factor-a (TNF-a)Interleukin 6 (IL-6)Interleukin 1 (IL-1)
• Production induced by LPS and other PAMPS, made by MØ, fibroblasts, others
• Activates myeloid cells, epithelium, endothelium• Induce production of multiple cytokines• Initiates acute phase response (fever)• Induces adhesion molecule expression• Toxic at high levels (septicemia)
![Page 25: CYTOKINES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/568161d0550346895dd1c4b8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Acute Phase Proteins
• Host Defense Proteins
• Proteinase Inhibitors

Chemokines• Multiple families of small molecular weight
cytokines (at least 60 at present time)• Classified based on different cysteine motifs• Involved in multiple immune functions
including inflammation, cell recruitment, lymphocyte trafficking, lymphoid organ development and wound healing
• Expressed in primary and secondary lymphoid organs
