Parsing the IL-37-Mediated Suppression of Inflammasome Function [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-37 is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines. Although its broad anti-inflammatory properties are well described, the effects of IL-37 on inflammasome function remain poorly understood. Performing gene expression analyses, ASC oligomerization/speck assays and caspase-1 assays in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM), and employing ...

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 ...

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

Memory NK cell features exploitable in anticancer immunotherapy [PDF]
Besides their innate ability to rapidly produce effector cytokines and kill virus-infected or transformed cells, natural killer (NK) cells display a strong capability to adapt to environmental modifications and to differentiate into long-lived ...

The mitochondrial protease HtrA2 restricts the NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes. [PDF]
Activation of the inflammasome pathway is crucial for effective intracellular host defense. The mitochondrial network plays an important role in inflammasome regulation but the mechanisms linking mitochondrial homeostasis to attenuation of inflammasome ...

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

Meta-analysis derived atopic dermatitis (MADAD) transcriptome defines a robust AD signature highlighting the involvement of atherosclerosis and lipid metabolism pathways [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease with limited treatment options. Several microarray experiments have been conducted on lesional/LS and non-lesional/NL AD skin to develop a genomic disease phenotype.

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 ...
