Interleukin-18 and interleukin-18 receptor-α expression in allergic asthma [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2011
To the Editors: The inflammatory process in allergic asthma is initiated by T-helper (Th) type-2 cells, which produce a repertoire of cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13, which are necessary for immunoglobulin (Ig)E production, airway eosinophilia and goblet cell hyperplasia [1].

Distinct Roles of IL-1β and IL-18 in NLRC4-Induced Autoinflammation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The NLRC4 inflammasome assembles in response to detection of bacterial invasion, and NLRC4 activation leads to the production of IL-1β and IL-18 together with pyroptosis-mediated cell death.

Physiological and molecular effects of interleukin-18 administration on the mouse kidney

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018
Background The cytokine interleukin-18 was originally identified as an interferon-γ-inducing proinflammatory factor; however, there is increasing evidence to suggest that it has non-immunological effects on physiological functions.

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 ...
