==Overview==
== Discovery ==
Interleukin-23 is a [[heterodimer]]ic [[cytokine]] consisting of two subunits, one called p40, which is shared with another cytokine, [[interleukin 12|IL-12]], and another called p19 (the IL-23 alpha subunit). IL-23 is an important part of the [[inflammation|inflammatory response]] against [[infection]]. It promotes upregulation of the matrix [[metalloprotease]] [[MMP9]], increases [[angiogenesis]] and reduces [[cytotoxic T cell|CD8+ T-cell]] infiltration.  Recently, IL-23 has been implicated in the development of cancerous tumors.  In conjunction with [[interleukin-6|IL-6]] and [[TGF]]-β1, IL-23 stimulates naive [[helper T cells|CD4+ T cells]] to differentiate into a novel subset of cells called Th17 cells, which are distinct from the classical Th1 and Th2 cells.  Th17 cells produce [[interleukin 17|IL-17]], a proinflammatory cytokine that enhances T cell priming and stimulates the production of proinflammatory molecules such as [[interleukin 1|IL-1]], [[interleukin 6|IL-6]], [[TNF-alpha]], [[nitric oxide synthase|NOS-2]], and [[chemokines]] resulting in inflammation.  Knockout mice deficient in either p40 or p19, or in either subunit of the IL-23 receptor (IL-23R and IL12R-β1) develop less severe symptoms of multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease highlighting the importance of IL-23 in the inflammatory pathway<ref>http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v442/n7101/full/nature04808.html</ref><ref> Kristine Kikly, Ling Liu, Songqing Na and Jonathon D Sedgwick. The IL-23/Th(17) axis: therapeutic targets for autoimmune inflammation. Curr Opin Immunol. 2006, Volume 18, pages 670-5.</ref>. Entheseal-resident T cells are sensitive to IL-23 overexpression and they respond vigorously by releasing IL-17 and IL-22 which lead to local inflammatory changes and osteoblast-mediated bone remodeling. These T cells are also present in the aortic root and valve, leading to aortitis that may be seen in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Interleukin-23 (IL-23) is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of an IL12B (IL-12p40) subunit (that is shared with IL12) and the IL23A (IL-23p19) subunit.[1] A functional receptor for IL-23 (the IL-23 receptor) has been identified and is composed of IL-12R β1 and IL-23R.[2]

Discovery

IL-23 was first described by Robert Kastelein and colleagues at the DNAX research institute using a combination of computational, biochemical and cellular immunology approaches.[1]

Function

Prior to the discovery of IL-23, IL-12 had been proposed to represent a key mediator of inflammation in mouse models of inflammation.[3] However, many studies aimed at assessing the role of IL-12 had blocked the activity of IL-12p40, and were therefore not as specific as thought. Studies which blocked the function of IL-12p35 did not produce the same results as those targeting IL-12p40 as would have been expected if both subunits formed part of IL-12 only.[4]

The discovery of an additional potential binding partner for IL-12p40 led to a reassessment of this role for IL-12. Seminal studies in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, showed that IL-23 was responsible for the inflammation observed, not IL-12 as previously thought.[5] Subsequently, IL-23 was shown to facilitate development of inflammation in numerous other models of immune pathology where IL-12 had previously been implicated including models of arthritis,[6] intestinal inflammation,[7][8][9] and psoriasis.[10]
