Increased circulating levels and salivary gland expression of interleukin-18 in patients with Sjögren's syndrome: relationship with autoantibody production and lymphoid organization of the periductal inflammatory infiltrate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
IL-18, an immunoregulatory and proinflammatory cytokine, has been shown to play an important pathogenic role in Th1-driven autoimmune disorders. In this study, we evaluated the circulating levels and salivary-gland expression of IL-18 in patients with Sj&

IL-33 and IL-18 in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Etiology and Microbial Interactions

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
The IL-1 cytokines are a newly expanded family, with each of its 11 members playing an important role in health and disease. Typically acting as pro- or anti-inflammatory mediators of first-line innate immunity, their production is particularly important

Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis involves IL-1 but is independent of NLRP3/ASC inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
IL-1b and IL-18 are proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to renal immune complex disease, but whether IL-1b and IL-18 are mediators of intrinsic glomerular inflammation is unknown.

Pro-inflammatory interleukin-18 increases Alzheimer’s disease-associated amyloid-β production in human neuron-like cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) involves increased accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles as well as neuronal loss in various regions of the neocortex.

UVB-Induced Skin Autoinflammation Due to Nlrp1b Mutation and Its Inhibition by Anti-IL-1β Antibody

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
NLRP1 (NACHT and leucine-rich repeat-containing protein family, pyrin domain-containing protein 1) is an innate immune sensor that is involved in the formation of inflammasome complexes.

IL-6 and IL-18 cytokine traps in COVID-19

open access: yesИнфекция и иммунитет
Cytokines are mediators of immunity that regulate inflammation. Intensity of inflammatory process is strongly dependent on the cytokine type and duration of its effect.

Expression of interleukin-18 receptor in fibroblast-like synoviocytes

open access: yes, 2001
An excess of the proinflammatory substance IL-18 is present in joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and expression of IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) regulates IL-18 bioactivity in various cell types.
