There is growing evidence for multifunctional properties of IL-32. We previously demonstrated that IL-32β upregulates IL-10 production through the association with PKCδ. In this study, we examined the effects of other IL-32 isoforms on IL-10 production. We found that IL-32δ decreased IL-10 production and investigated the inhibitory mechanism of IL-32δ. We showed that IL-32δ suppressed IL-32β binding to PKCδ by interacting with IL-32β. The inhibitory effect of IL-32δ on IL-32β association with PKCδ was further verified by immuno-fluorescence staining. The co-localization of IL-32β and PKCδ around the nuclear membrane was disrupted by IL-32δ. Our data therefore indicate that IL-32δ plays an inhibitory role against IL-32β function, which also suggests that IL-32 may be regulated by its own isoform.

Macrophages exhibit diverse phenotypes depending on environment status, which contribute to physiological and pathological processes of immunological diseases, including sepsis, asthma, multiple sclerosis and colitis. The alternative activation of macrophages is tightly regulated to avoid excessive activation and damage of tissues and organs. Certain works characterized that succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) altered function of macrophages and promoted inflammatory response in M1 macrophages via mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Background: Type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells are critical players in maintaining peripheral tolerance, by producing high IL-10 levels in association with inducible T-cell co-stimulator (ICOS) expression. Whether these cells play a role in naturally acquired baked egg tolerance is unknown.
Objectives: Evaluate frequencies of egg-responsive Tr1 and Th2 cells in egg-allergic children that naturally acquired baked egg tolerance (BET) versus non-egg-allergic (NEA) children.
Atherosclerosis, a slowly progressing inflammatory disease, is characterized by the presence of monocyte-derived macrophages. Interventions targeting the inflammatory characteristics of atherosclerosis hold promising potential. Although interleukin (IL)-10 is widely acknowledged for its anti-inflammatory effects, systemic administration of IL-10 has limitations due to its short half-life and significant systemic side effects.

Objective: Inflammation drives cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Treatment with tofacitinib, a JAK1/JAK3 inhibitor, is associated with increased cardiovascular events in patients with RA. Here, we determined its effects on cytokine production during interactions between immune cells at the synovial and vascular levels and its impact on endothelial activation and coagulation during inflammation.

Objective The prevalence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains is exacerbating the global burden of tuberculosis (TB), highlighting the urgent need for new treatment strategies for TB. Methods The recombinant adenovirus vaccine expressing cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) phosphodiesterase B (CnpB) (rAd-CnpB), was administered to normal mice via mucosal immunization, either alone or in combination with drug therapy, to treat Mtb respiratory infections in mice.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of antibodies in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).
