IL-21–producing CD4+ T cells exhibit distinct characteristics from Th17 cells and develop preferentially in an IL-6–rich environment devoid of TGF-β, and that IL-21 functions as an autocrine growth factor for IL–21– producing CD4- T cells is suggested.

An MDS mouse model is established by transducing a RUNX1S291fs mutant into hematopoietic stem cells and subsequently deleting Ezh2, providing a comprehensive picture of how Ezh 2 loss collaborates with RUNX 1 mutants in the pathogenesis of MDS in both cell autonomous and non-autonomous manners.
A novel subset of mouse NKT cells bearing the IL-17 receptor B responds to IL-25 and contributes to airway hyperreactivity

- 24 November 2008
A novel subset of natural killer T cells that expresses the interleukin 17 receptor B for IL-25 and is essential for the induction of AHR is identified, suggesting that IL-17RB+ CD4+ NKT cells play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of asthma.

IL-23 and Th17 cells not only induce Th17-cell-mediated neutrophilic airway inflammation but also up-regulate Th2- cell-mediated eosinophil recruitment into the airways and airway hyperresponsiveness.

Results indicate that TNFR-associated factor (TRAF)6 plays a critical role in IL-25R-mediated NF-κB activation and gene expression, and it is found that IL- 25R- mediated gene expression of IL-6, TGF-β, G-CSF, and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine was diminished in TRAF6-deficient murine embryonic fibroblast.
