The cleavage of gasdermin D by caspase-11 promotes tubular epithelial cell pyroptosis and urinary IL-18 excretion in acute kidney injury.

Kidney International, 2019
Inflammation and tubular cell death are the hallmarks of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the precise mechanism underlying these effects has not been fully elucidated.

cDNA Cloning of Biologically Active Chicken Interleukin-18 [PDF]

, 2000
By searching a chicken EST database, we identified a cDNA clone that appeared to contain the entire open reading frame (ORF) of chicken interleukin-18 (ChIL-18).

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]

, 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&

Role of Interleukin-18 in vascular injury: a new pharmacological target for the prevention of restenosis [PDF]

, 2006
Background: Studies in humans as well as in animal models suggest that interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a crucial role in vascular pathologies. IL-18 is a strong predictor of cardiovascular death in angina and is involved in atherotic plaque destabilization.

Interleukin-18, Functional IL-18 Receptor and IL-18 Binding Protein Expression in Active and Latent Tuberculosis

Pathogens, 2020
A thorough understanding of the processes modulating the innate and acquired immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection in the context of gene expression is still a scientific and diagnostic problem.

IL-18 as a biomarker linking systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and macrophage activation syndrome.

Rheumatology, 2019
OBJECTIVES Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a childhood arthritis with features of autoinflammation and high risk of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). IL-18 has been shown to have key roles in sJIA and MAS.

Molecular mechanisms of IL-18BP regulation in DLD-1 cells: pivotal direct action of the STAT1/GAS axis on the promoter level [PDF]

, 2008
Interleukin (IL)-18, formerly known as interferon (IFN)-γ-inducing factor, is a crucial mediator of host defence and inflammation. Control of IL-18 bioactivity by its endogenous antagonist IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) is a major objective of ...

IL-27 enhances IL-15/IL-18-mediated activation of human natural killer cells

Journal of Immunotherapy for Cancer, 2019
BackgroundNatural killer (NK) cells are an emerging new tool for cancer immunotherapy. To develop NK cell therapeutics from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of healthy donors, substantial expansion of primary NK cells is necessary because of ...

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

, 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.
