Interleukin-18 and Crohn’s Disease
Digestion, 2001The etiology and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease remains an area under intense investigation. Crohn’s disease (CD) is characterized by a marked accumulation of activated Th1 type CD4+ T cells and macrophages in inflamed intestinal mucosa. IL-18 is a recently described cytokine that mainly exists in activated macrophages and shares biological

Interleukin-18: recent advances
Current Opinion in Hematology, 2004Interleukin-18 (IL-18) has potent immunomodulatory effects. It is the only cytokine with a unique capacity to induce T helper 1 or T helper 2 polarization, depending on the immunologic context. Serum levels of IL-18 are increased in many human diseases and it has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several immune-mediated processes.

SummaryTo evaluate the balance of interleukin IL18 and its endogenous antagonist IL18 binding protein (IL18BP) in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), plasma IL18, IL18BP, interferon gamma (IFNG) and IL4 levels, as well as platelet counts were measured in patients with active ITP (n = 23), ITP in remission (n = 21) and in healthy ...

Interleukin-18 in Pulmonary Inflammatory Diseases
Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, 2012The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-18 was originally discovered as an interferon-γ-inducing factor in 1995. IL-18 is known to play an important role in Th1/Tc1 polarization and promoting the production of Th2 cytokines (e.g., IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13) by T cells, NK cells, basophils, and mast cells.

Plasma interleukin-18/interleukin-18 binding protein ratio in Chinese with NAFLD.
Hepato-gastroenterology, 2010The liver has been recognized as a major target of injury in patients with metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has even been considered the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease remained unclear.
