p19, a molecule structurally related to IL-6, G-CSF, and the p35
subunit of IL-12, is a subunit of the recently discovered cytokine
IL-23. Here we show that expression of p19 in multiple tissues of
transgenic mice induced a striking phenotype characterized by runting,
systemic inflammation, infertility, and death before 3 mo of age.
Founder animals had infiltrates of lymphocytes and macrophages in skin,
lung, liver, pancreas, and the digestive tract and were anemic. The
serum concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-
and IL-1
were elevated, and the number of circulating neutrophils was increased.
In addition, ubiquitous expression of p19 resulted in constitutive
expression of acute phase proteins in the liver. Surprisingly,
liver-specific expression of p19 failed to reproduce any of these
abnormalities, suggesting specific requirements for production of
biologically active p19. Bone marrow transfer experiments showed that
expression of p19 by hemopoietic cells alone recapitulated the
phenotype induced by its widespread expression, pointing to hemopoietic
cells as the source of biologically active p19. These findings indicate
that p19 shares biological properties with IL-6, IL-12, and G-CSF and
that cell-specific expression is required for its biological
activity.
