Background: IFN-gamma

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), also known as type II or immune interferon, exerts a wide range of immunoregulatory activities and is considered to be the prototype proinflammatory cytokine (1, 2). Mature human IFN-gamma exists as a non-covalently linked homodimer of 20-25 kDa variably glycosylated subunits (3). Glycosylation of IFN-gamma at sites Asn25 and Asn97 is critical for protease resistance (4, 5). The mature protein shares 36% and 35% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat IFN-gamma, respectively. IFN-gamma dimers bind to IFN-gamma RI (alpha subunits) which then interact with IFN-gamma RII (beta subunits) to form the functional receptor complex of two alpha and two beta subunits. Inclusion of IFN-gamma RII increases the binding affinity for ligand and the efficiency of signal transduction (6, 7). IFN-gamma is produced by a variety of immune cells under inflammatory conditions, notably by T cells and NK cells (8). It plays a key role in host defense by promoting the development and activation of Th1 cells, chemoattraction and activation of monocytes and macrophages, up-regulation of antigen presentation molecules, and immunoglobulin class switching in B cells. It also exhibits antiviral, antiproliferative, and apoptotic effects (8, 9). In addition, IFN-gamma functions as an anti-inflammatory mediator by promoting the development of regulatory T cells and inhibiting Th17 cell differentiation (10, 11). The pleiotropic effects of IFN-gamma contribute to the development of multiple aspects of atherosclerosis (9).
