This review summarizes the role of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in regulating endothelial barrier function and its underlying signaling pathways. The results indicate that IFN-γ modulates endothelial barrier function mainly through small GTPases, STAT1-dependent pathway, p38 MAPK, and nitric oxide. Further cellular and molecular studies are needed to elucidate the pathways of IFN-γ in regulating endothelial barrier function.
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a critical role in mediating an array of immune responses including promotes antiviral activity, facilitates macrophage activation, controls Th1/Th2 balance, and regulates cellular apoptosis and proliferation. A few articles have previously reviewed the effects of IFN-gamma in the regulation of barrier permeability, but none of these articles focuses on barrier function of endothelial cells. This review aims to discuss the regulatory mechanisms of IFN-gamma on endothelial barrier function and its underlying signaling pathways. Articles were retrieved from electronic databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar using keywords Interferon-gamma, endothelial cells, barrier function, and signaling pathway. The articles published between 2000 and 2022 that are related to the aforementioned topics were selected. A few journals published beyond this period were also included due to limited information available. The results showed that IFN-gamma modulates endothelial barrier function, mainly involves small GTPases, STAT1-dependent pathway, p38 MAPK and nitric oxide. In conclusion, more in depth cellular and molecular studies are needed to elucidate the pathways of IFN-gamma in the regulation of endothelial barrier function.
