Gene References into function
- IL-21 rapidly induces mRNA synthesis for IFN-gamma, T-bet, IL-2 receptor alpha, IL-12 receptor beta 2, IL-18 receptor, and myeloid differentiation factor 88, the genes that are important in activating innate immunity and Th1 response in NK and T cells.
- Human IL-21 and IL-4 bind to partially overlapping epitopes of common gamma-chain.
- Synergistic interactions between IL-21, IL-15, and IL-18 play an important role in NK and T cell functions by enhancing IFN-gamma gene expression; IL-21 activates STAT DNA binding to IFN-gamma regulatory elements.
- identify a dichotomous action of IL21 and IL15 on dendritic cells, establishing IL-21 as inhibitory cytokine on DC activation and IL-15 as potent stimulator of DC function
- In addition to promoting growth and differentiation of committed B cells, IL-21 is a specific switch factor for the production of IgG1 and IgG3.
- Study of IL-21-transgenic mice establishes new roles for IL-21 in the differentiation of B cells into postswitch and plasma cells, in inducing Blimp-1 and Bcl-6 expression, and in development of autoimmune disease.
- Data show that the proximal promoter of IL-21 controls its Th-cell-subset-specific expression through the action of NFATc2 and T-bet.
- Our findings indicate that IL-21 may influence the production of both human IgE and IgG4, and thus contribute to the regulation of atopic reactions
- IL-21 prevents down-modulation of CD28 and enhances interferon-gamma production in naive CD8+ T cells that undergo IL-15- mediated homeostatic proliferation.
- A positive regulatory role is demonstrated for IL-21 in augmenting the induction of a primary antigen-specific human cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response
- In this review, IL-21 has pleiotropic actions, from augmenting the proliferation of T cells and driving the differentiation of B cells into memory cells and terminally differentiated plasma cells to augmenting the activity of natural killer cells.
- When B cells were stimulated thru the BCR, IL21 induced minimal proliferation, IgD down-modulation, and small numbers of plasma cells. After CD40 engagement, IL21 induced extensive proliferation, class switch recombination, & plasma cell differentiation
- the peak of IL-21 mRNA production in both the HSV-2 and LCMV-challenged mice coincides with the onset of the adaptive immune response. Thus, our data suggest a role for IL-21 in the early stages of adaptive immune response against virus infections.
- IL-21 is able to channel natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cell function by altering the expression pattern of activation/costimulatory receptors.
- IL-21, a cytokine produced by activated T cells, can directly inhibit the activation and cytokine production of myeloid dendritic cells, providing a negative feedback loop between DCs and T lymphocytes.
- IL-21 differentially regulates IL-4-induced IgE production, via its growth- and differentiation-promoting capacities on isotype- committed B cells, & via its ability to induce IFNg production; the outcome depends on the presence of a IL-21R polymorphism.
- IL-21 is a powerful growth factor for naive B cells; Stimulation of human B cells with CD40L/IL-21 also induced IL-10 production and activation of STAT3.
- the link between IL-21-induced JAK/STAT signaling, c-Myc regulation, and differentiation of human B cells
- IL-21 expression by in PBMCs reduced IgE production by B cells.
- intestinal epithelial cells are a target of IL-21 and that IL-21 is involved in the cross-talk between epithelial and immune cells in the gut
- IL-21 is overexpressed in Hp-infected gastric mucosa where it could contribute to increased epithelial gelatinase production.
- Data suggest a contribution of IL21 and IL21R to genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes and possible involvement of IL-21 and its receptor system in the disease pathogenesis.

- IL-21 induced apoptosis in follicular lymphoma cells expressing high levels of IL-21 receptor.
- occurrence of an unusual TG 3' splice site in intron 3
- there are some different regulatory mechanisms to produce IL-21 or IL-21iso in transcriptional and secretory steps.
- IL-21 produced from CD4(+) memory T cells may have a supportive role in the maintenance of CD4(+) T cell subsets.
- REVIEW:IL-21 is highly produced by activated CD4+ lymphocytes in the inflamed gut of patients with Crohn's disease, where it contributes to sustaining the ongoing Th1 inflammation
- IL-21 may play an important role in enhancing the host immune response of Sezary syndrome patients through the increased cytolytic activity of T and NK cells
- findings indicate that IL-21 polymorphism is a candidate association with SLE. The functional effects of this association, when revealed, might improve our understanding of the disease and provide new therapeutic targets
- can stimulate proliferation and cytokine secretion by antigen-specific rhesus monkey CD8+ T cells; IL-21 drives these cells to apoptosis by down-regulation of Bcl-2.
- In summary, IL-21 enhances IgE production at low densities through stimulating cell division and plasma cell differentiation and this activity is reduced upon BCR cross-linking.
- mechanism for IL-21-mediated expansion of antigen-specific CTLs that involves suppression of Foxp3-expressing cells and reversal of inhibition to tumor-associated antigen-specific cytotoxic T cell generation in

- These data are the first to document that B cell activation, expansion, and PC differentiation induced by direct interaction of B cells with activated T cells requires IL-21
- IL-21 produced by TFH cells during the primary as well as the subsequent responses to T cell-dependent Ag makes a major contribution to eliciting and maintaining long-lived humoral immunity.
- In addition to its proapoptotic effect, IL-21 promoted STAT1 and STAT5 phosphorylation in natural killer cells with concurrent enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against rituximab-coated CLL cells
- These data suggest the existence of a positive autocrine loop that could help to amplify and stabilize IL-21-driven, T cell-mediated responses.
