IL-22 regulation of functional gene expression in salivary gland cells

ABSTRACT: Microarray analysis using the HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip was utilized to determine the biological function of IL-22. The data indicate an extensive effect of IL-22 on many major molecular functions including activation of antimicrobial genes and downregulation of immune-associated pathways. Functional studies performed in-vitro using human salivary gland cells treated with IL-22 indicated a direct effect of IL-22 on cell cycling, specifically reducing cellular proliferation at the G2-M phase by activation of STAT3. Total RNAs were obtained from salivary gland cells stimulated with recombinant IL-22 for 45 minutes. Differential expression analyses were conducted using the LIMMA package from the Bioconductor project. MTT assay, flow cytometry and western blotting were used to iden
