Interleukin-18 and interleukin-18 Binding Protein [PDF]
Interleukin-18 (IL 18) is a member of the IL 1 family of cytokines. Increasing reports have expanded the role of IL 18 in mediating inflammation in animal models of disease using IL 18 deficient mice, neutralization of IL 18 or deficiency in the IL 18 ...

The Role of Interleukin 18/Interleukin 18-Binding Protein in Adult-Onset Still's Disease and Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. [PDF]
Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine of the IL-1 family, whose activity is tightly controlled at the level of production, as well as signalization. Notably, it is buffered by its natural inhibitor, IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), which is massively present in circulation in normal and in most pathological conditions, thus preventing ...

Interleukin-18 binding protein protects against metabolic steatohepatitis. [PDF]
Background: Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a frequent consequence of Western diet consumption and liver steatosis. IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) limits the action of interleukin-18 (IL-18). Our work aims to study the unknown role of IL-18BP in MASH progression.

Serum interleukin 18 and interleukin 18 binding protein in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
To measure serum interleukin 18 (IL18) and IL18 binding protein (IL18BP) levels in patients with inflammatory arthropathies, and to identify associations with disease status and the response to treatment.Serum samples were obtained before and after methotrexate treatment from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA ...

Balance between Interleukin-18 and Interleukin-18 binding protein in auto-inflammatory diseases
Interleukin (IL)-18 is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines with pleiotropic and potent pro-inflammatory activities that are tightly controlled at the level of production and in the extracellular space. Indeed, IL-18 is translated as a leaderless biologically inert pro-peptide that is cleaved by caspase-1 in its N-terminus domain to become active ...

Interleukin-18/Interleukin-18 Binding Protein Signaling Modulates Atherosclerotic Lesion Development and Stability [PDF]
Abstract— Interleukin (IL)-18 is the interferon-γ–inducing factor and has other proinflammatory properties. The precise role of IL-18 in immunoinflammatory diseases remains poorly understood. In this study, we show that in vivo electrotransfer of an expression-plasmid DNA encoding for murine IL-18 ...

Objective In asthma, genome‐wide association studies have shown that interleukin‐18 (IL‐18) receptor 1 gene (IL‐18R1) and sputum IL‐18 are increased during exacerbations. However, the role of the IL‐18 axis in bronchial epithelial function is unclear. To

Failure of interferon gamma to induce the anti-inflammatory interleukin 18 binding protein in familial hemophagocytosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Familial hemophagocytosis (FHL) is a rare disease associated with defects in proteins involved in CD8+ T-cell cytotoxicity. Hyperactivation of immune cells results in a perilous, Th1-driven cytokine storm. We set out to explore the regulation

Interleukin-18/Interleukin-18 Binding Protein Signaling Modulates Ischemia-Induced Neovascularization in Mice Hindlimb [PDF]
Identification of factors that may stimulate ischemia-induced neovascularization without increasing atherosclerotic plaque progression is of major therapeutic importance. We hypothesized that interleukin-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), a major antiinflammatory protein with plaque-stabilizing activities, may affect the neovascularization in ...
