IL-18 and IL-18 binding protein are related to severity of myelodysplastic syndromes
AbstractBackground Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) was defined as a clonal hematopoietic disorder disease. Although current stratified therapy for MDS has greatly improved overall survival, there is still a subset of them who suffered from progression to AML with a poor prognosis. Immune factors play essential roles in the pathogenesis and evolution of

Altered expression of IL-18, IL-18 binding protein and IL-18 receptor in blood monocytes of patients with allergic rhinitis [PDF]
Abstract Background: Interleukin (IL)-18 is emerging as an attractive participant in allergic rhinitis (AR). However, correlation of IL-18 with IL-18 binding protein (BP) in plasma, and expression of IL-18, IL-18BP and IL-18 receptor (R) in AR blood monocytes remain obscure.Methods: We investigated IL-18, IL-18BP and IL-18R expression in ...

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

Background: While interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays an important role in the innate and adaptive immune responses, it can also cause severe allergic inflammatory reactions. Thus it is a molecule currently being targeted for therapy.

Role of Interleukin-37 in Inflammatory and Autoimmune Diseases [PDF]
Interleukin-1 family 7 (IL-1F7) is a novel member of IL-1F cytokines. IL-1F7 is more commonly known as IL-37. IL-37 join the α-subunit of the IL-18 receptor, or IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), and binding of these proteins can enhance the IL-18 ...

Mechanisms of Inhibition of Collagen-Induced Arthritis by Murine IL-18 Binding Protein 1 [PDF]
Abstract IL-18 is an important cytokine in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases through the induction of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-1. We report herein that collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice is inhibited by treatment with murine IL-18 binding protein (mIL-18BP).

IL-18 Binding Protein Protects Against Contact Hypersensitivity [PDF]
Abstract Allergic contact dermatitis, the clinical manifestation of contact hypersensitivity, is one of the most common disorders of the skin. It is elicited upon multiple cutaneous re-exposure of sensitized individuals to the sensitizing agent.

Key Points Both radioresistant and radiosensitive cells produce Il-18bp during CpG-induced MAS. Il-18bp behaves as Ifn-γ signature gene during CpG-induced MAS. Elevated circulating levels of Il-18bp prevent systemic effects of Il-18 in MAS. IL-18 binding

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