PG - 24-30 LID - 10.1111/j.1365-3164.2010.00897.x [doi] AB - Recombinant canine interferon-gamma (rCaIFN-gamma) produced by a baculovirus expression system has therapeutic efficacy against atopic dermatitis in dogs. Although the mechanism of action of rCaIFN-gamma is not completely understood, rCaIFN-gamma is thought to downregulate the activity of interleukin-4- and interleukin-5-producing T helper 2 cells. However, rCaIFN-gamma may also act directly on canine keratinocytes by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators. In this study, we investigated the effects of rCaIFN-gamma on cytokine and chemokine mRNA transcription in a canine keratinocyte cell line, CPEK. It was found that granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) mRNA transcription was significantly inhibited after treatment with rCaIFN-gamma (P<0.001), whereas transforming growth factor-beta and CC chemokine ligand 17 mRNA levels were unchanged. This study suggests that rCaIFN-gamma may suppress GM-CSF production from canine keratinocytes, although further studies are required to confirm this. CI - (c) 2010 The Authors.
