Open Access Abstract IL-32 is a newly described cytokine in the human found to be an in vitro inducer of tumor necrosis factor alpha TNFa . We examined the in vivo relationship between IL-32 and TNFa and the pathologic role of IL-32 in the TNFa-related diseases -arthritis and colitis. We demonstrated by quantitative PCR assay that IL-32 mRNA was expressed in the lymphoid tissues and in stimulated peripheral T cells monocytes and B cells. Activated T cells were important for IL-32 mRNA expression in monocytes and B cells. Interestingly TNFa reciprocally induced IL-32 mRNA expression in T cells monocyte-derived dendritic cells and synovial fibroblasts. Moreover IL-32 mRNA expression was prominent in the synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis patients especially in synovial-infiltrated lymphocytes by .
