Interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) secretion is induced by IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-1β. This proinflammatory cytokine is produced by monocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. The interferon gamma-induced protein 10 recruits lymphocytes to sites of infection and increases the expression of MHC class I molecules. In addition to chemotaxis, IP-10 is also involved in the differentiation and activation of peripheral immune cells, regulation of cell growth, apoptosis, and modulation of angiostatic effects. The binding of IP-10 (CXCL10) to the CXCR3 receptor causes the downstream activation of the phospholipase C-dependent pathway, an increase in intracellular calcium production, and actin reorganization.
