AbstractCytokines are important mediators involved in the development of effector cells and in the regulation of immune responses. The gene expression of these mediators in T cell subset has yet to be fully elucidated. Using sensitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the kinetics of cytokine gene expression in human CD4 + and CD8 + T cells were examined. CD4 + T cells were more readily activated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) than CD8 + T cells in terms of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) mRNA expression. Quantitative differences in cytokine gene expression between CD4 + and CD8 + T cells were confirmed and higher levels of cytokine mRNAs were induced in CD4 + than in CD8 + T cells. Early induction of IL-2 mRNA was observed in both T cell subsets. The demonstration of different kinetics of cytokine gene expression illustrates one of the examples of the complexity of immunoregulation. The differential response of cytokine gene expression in different T cell subsets should be taken into consideration when clinical studies in cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells are interpreted.
