IL4 via IL-4R type I JAK3 and STAT6 (but not IL13) upregulates production of IL12p70
PMID:15546391
Interleukin (IL)-12 is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of two disulfide-linked subunits, p35 and p40.
This cytokine is produced by a variety cells including monocytes, neutrophils, and B cells, but the major producers of IL-12 are macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs).
The IL-12 receptor (IL-12R) is composed of two subunits termed β1 and β2, which are structurally related to the type I cytokine receptor superfamily (44–47). The affinity of IL-12 for either subunit alone is low, but coexpression of both β1 and β2 subunits generates human IL-12 high-affinity binding sites. IL-12p40 interacts predominantly with the β1 subunit, whereas p35 interacts largely with the β2 subunit.

IL-12 signaling induces STAT4 tyrosine phosphorylation. And induces IFNG production,
probably via STAT4.

Prolonged and repeated IL-12 stimulation may also activate an additional negative feedback mechanism to control and terminate the IL-12–induced proinflammatory immune response, representing a unique example of cytokine signaling auto-regulation.
The miRs-132, 212, and 200a were shown to be induced in human NK cells by IL-12 stimulation, which in turn target STAT4 mRNA, thereby providing a negative regulatory pathway for IL-12 signaling.

NK cells stimulated by IL12 accumulate much higher levels of the IL-12Rbeta2-chain mRNA and are significantly more responsive to IL-12 than NK2 cells at the level of activation of STAT4 transcription factor
