IL-27 is a heterodimeric cytokine that consists of EBI3, an IL-12p40-related protein, and p28, an IL-12p35-related polypeptide. IL-27 can be allocated to the IL-6/IL-12 superfamily of cytokines which also includes IL-23. This family is defined based on similarities in the structural motifs of the ligands, such as a common four-helix bundle and their receptors, which contain a hematopoietin receptor domain. IL-27 signaling occurs via a receptor complex composed of the signal transducing receptor chains WSX-1 and glycoprotein (gp) 130. Whereas WSX-1 is the IL-27–specific receptor chain, gp130 is the common receptor subunit of IL-6 type cytokines. IL-27 is expressed at sites of inflammation in cytokine-driven autoimmune/inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and sarcoidosis.

- Function
- IL-27 triggers rapid clonal expansion of antigen-specific naive human and mouse CD4 T cell. IL-27 promotes the early Th1 differentiation through up-regulation of ICAM-1 and T-bet, and suppresses the differentiation to Th2 and Th17. In addition, IL-27 suppresses the cytokine production by activated CD4+ T cells in vitro, and TNF-α and IL-12 production by macrophages. This suppressive mechanism is considered to be mediated through IL-10. IL-27 plays a dominant function together with TGF-β in generating IL-10-producing anti-inflammatory Tr1 cells. Additionally, IL-27 exerts IFN-like functions in liver cells, and is a negative regulator of human neutrophils function. IL-27 is predominantly produced early after stimulation of APCs by TLR ligands or infectious agents, and it is induced by TNF-α in human macrophages.
