On June 18, ICIS hosted the first-ever IL-9-focused symposium at the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS) annual meeting. Devotees of all things IL-9 gathered in San Francisco to hear about “IL-9: from birth to breath.” The symposium was organized by IL-9 guru Mark Kaplan and newcomer (and Signals+ Co-Editor [READ MORE]
International Cytokine & Interferon Society (ICIS) Symposium at AAI 2024 in Chicago:
Cytokines Regulating Neuroimmunometabolism
Session Chairs: Lydia Lynch, Princeton University and Ai Ing Lim, Princeton University
Description: The role of cytokines in non-classical immune-related physiology, focusing on how cytokines regulate neuroimmunology and metabolism, as well as the emerging field linking all 3 systems in ‚neuroimmunometabolism‘.
Speakers:
Lydia Lynch, Princeton University, USA, “Evolution of a cytokine neuroimmunometabolism pathway”
Ai Ing Lim, Princeton University, USA, “Cytokines regulating neuroimmunometabolism in maternal-offspring development”
Ruadhri Jackson, Harvard Medical School, USA, “An enteric neuroImmune circuit drives colorectal cancer”
Rami Bechara, University of Paris-Saclay, INSERM, France, “IL-17 as a regulator of metabolism in target cells”
Vishva Deep Dixit , Yale University, USA, “Adipose macrophages and regulation of neuroimmunometabolism”

Although IL-9 was first described in the late 1980s, its regulation and functions are still not well defined. Initially identified as a mast cell and T cell growth factor, IL-9 was subsequently reclassified as a type 2 cytokine after extensive data implicated it in atopic dermatitis, food allergy, and allergic asthma. Enthusiasm for the role of IL-9 in allergy peaked in the mid-2010s and then waned after two negative trials of IL-9-blocking antibodies in asthma. Over the subsequent decade, however, additional data emerged implicating IL-9 as a major player in autoimmunity and antitumor immunity.
To highlight this renaissance in IL-9 biology, the ICIS will be hosting a symposium at the 2024 FOCIS Annual Meeting. The symposium, entitled “IL-9: from birth to breath” will be held on June 18, 2024 – immediately before the FOCIS Opening Keynote Address. A series of short talks will cover the multifaceted roles of IL-9 across a broad range of human diseases, as well as basic mechanisms regulating IL-9 expression in various microenvironments.
