IL-37 restrains autoimmune diseases
Interleukin-37 (IL-37), a newly discovered member of the IL-1 family, has been identified as a natural inhibitor of immune responses [1]. The human IL-37 gene has been confirmed undergo alternative splicing and exists in five splice variants including IL-37a-e, but a mouse homologue has not been reported [2]. The most glaring is IL-37b that encodes the

Innate immunity but not NLRP3 inflammasome activation correlates with severity of stable COPD [PDF]
Background In models of COPD, environmental stressors induce innate immune responses, inflammasome activation and inflammation. However, the interaction between these responses and their role in driving pulmonary inflammation in stable COPD is unknown ...

Pro-inflammatory signaling by IL-10 and IL-22: bad habit stirred up by interferons? [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-22 are key members of the IL-10 cytokine family that share characteristic properties such as defined structural features, usage of IL-10R2 as one receptor chain, and activation of signal transducer and activator of ...

IL-37 diminishes proteoglycan loss in human OA cartilage: donor-specific link between IL-37 and MMP-3 [PDF]
A hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA) is degradation of articular cartilage proteoglycans. In isolated human OA chondrocytes, the anti-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-37 (IL-37) lowers the expression of the proteolytic MMP and ADAMTS enzymes, which mediate this degradation. Therefore, we investigated if IL-37 protects against proteoglycan loss in freshly

Potential role of IL-37 in atherosclerosis
IL-37 is a member of the IL-1 family, but unlike most other members of this family of cytokines, it has wide-ranging anti-inflammatory properties. Initially shown to bind IL-18 binding protein and prevent IL-18-mediated inflammation, its known role has been expanded to include distinct pathways, both intracellular involving the transcription factor ...
