General description

IL-24 is produced by a variety of cell types, including B cells, CD4+ cells, NK cells, lymph node DCs, monocytes, and melanoma cells. IL-24 can signal through the IL20R1/IL20R2 and IL22R1/IL20R2 receptors to initiate a signaling cascade which includes the induction of JAK1/STAT3 phosphorylation. IL-24 is, functionally, a pleiotropic protein but is generally characterized as an anti-cancer cytokine that can selectively inhibit growth of a wide variety of human cancer cells through activities that include the induction of differentiation and apoptosis, and the suppression of angiogenesis and cell proliferation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IL-24 is a secreted glycoprotein belonging to the IL-10 structural family of cytokines. Recombinant human IL-24 is an 18.9 kDa glycoprotein, containing 161 amino acid residues, including a C-terminal His-tag.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.5.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.

Cancer is a disease characterized by defects in growth control, and tumor cells often display abnormal patterns of cellular differentiation. The combination of recombinant human fibroblast interferon and the antileukemic agent mezerein corrects these abnormalities in cultured human melanoma cells

New anti-viral agents and strategies are urgently needed to fight rapidly mutating viruses, as vaccine programs cannot react fast enough to prevent pandemics. Recently, we have shown that interleukin-24 (IL-24) sensitizes tumor cells to toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) mediated apoptosis.
