Interleukin (IL)-12 is known as a cytokine that augments the Th1 type response. Especially in allergic diseases such as a bronchial asthma, IL-12 induced restoration of the balance of the Th1/Th2 type immune response is an attractive strategy. In this study, the functional properties of the human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) transduced by an adenoviral vector encoding the human IL-12 gene were examined. Adenovirus vectors, AxCAegfp and Ax1CIhp40ip35 were transduced into BEAS-2B cells. Wild and gene-transduced BEAS-2B cells were incubated and the concentrations of IL-12 and IFN-gamma produced by co-cultured lymphocytes in the supernatant were measured using ELISA. The expressions of surface adhesion molecules, such as CD54 and CD106 were analyzed using flow cytometry. The efficiency of transgene expression of BEAS-2B cells was in a multiplicity of infection (MOI)-dependent manner and at an MOI of 30, the efficiency was approximately 80%. The gene-modified BEAS-2B cells produced biologically active IL-12 in dose- and time-dependent manners. IL-12 gene transduction did not significantly affect the expression of adhesion molecules (CD 54, CD106 and HLA-A,B,C) by BEAS-2B cells. These results suggest that the IL-12 gene may be successfully transduced into human bronchial epithelial cells by adenoviral vector to express IL-12 activity in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D001980 Bronchi The larger air passages of the lungs arising from the terminal bifurcation of the TRACHEA. They include the largest two primary bronchi which branch out into secondary bronchi, and tertiary bronchi which extend into BRONCHIOLES and PULMONARY ALVEOLI.

D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.

D000256 Adenoviridae A family of non-enveloped viruses infecting mammals (MASTADENOVIRUS) and birds (AVIADENOVIRUS) or both (ATADENOVIRUS). Infections may be asymptomatic or result in a variety of diseases. Adenoviruses,Ichtadenovirus,Adenovirus,Ichtadenoviruses
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D014161 Transduction, Genetic The transfer of bacterial DNA by phages from an infected bacterium to another bacterium. This also refers to the transfer of genes into eukaryotic cells by viruses. This naturally occurring process is routinely employed as a GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUE. Genetic Transduction,Genetic Transductions,Transductions, Genetic
D015815 Cell Adhesion Molecules Surface ligands, usually glycoproteins, that mediate cell-to-cell adhesion. Their functions include the assembly and interconnection of various vertebrate systems, as well as maintenance of tissue integration, wound healing, morphogenic movements, cellular migrations, and metastasis.
