PG - 1467-81 LID - 10.1016/j.dci.2008.06.012 [doi] AB - Two interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) genes are expressed in immune cells of teleost fish and are potentially implicated in B- and T-lymphocyte responses. IFN-gamma-2 shows structural and functional characteristics to other vertebrate IFN-gamma genes and is associated with T-lymphocyte function. Expression profiling shows IFN-gamma-2 upregulation in T-lymphocytes after phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation in vitro. Unexpectedly, we found IFN-gamma-1, which is structurally different from IFN-gamma-2, to be expressed in lipopolysacharide (LPS)-stimulated IgM+ (B- lymphocyte enriched) fractions. Expression of T-box transcription factor T-bet, but not of GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3), correlated with expression of both IFN-gamma genes. In-vivo parasite infection, but as predicted not zymosan-induced inflammation, resulted in concomitant upregulation of T-bet and IFN-gamma-2. This corroborates a genuine T-lymphocyte associated role for IFN-gamma-2.
