Interleukin-38 interacts with destrin/actin-depolymerizing factor in human keratinocytes. [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-38 is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines, which was proposed to exert anti-inflammatory effects. IL-38 is constitutively expressed in the skin, where keratinocytes are the main producing cells.

Circulating interleukin-38 concentrations in healthy adults [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-38 is the latest discovered member of the interleukin-1 family, which has anti-inflammatory properties similar to IL-36Ra. Several studies compared circulating IL-38 concentrations in healthy and diseased populations to characterize its ...

Exploratory analysis of interleukin‐38 in hospitalized COVID‐19 patients [PDF]
Introduction A major contributor to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) progression and severity is a dysregulated innate and adaptive immune response. Interleukin‐38 (IL−38) is an IL‐1 family member with broad anti‐inflammatory properties, but thus far ...

Interleukin 38 alleviates aortic valve calcification by inhibition of NLRP3 [PDF]
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is common in people over the age of 65. Progressive valvular calcification is a characteristic of CAVD and due to chronic inflammation in aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs) resulting in CAVD progression. IL-38 is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory cytokine; here, we report lower levels of endogenous IL-38 ...

Interleukin-38 overexpression in keratinocytes limits desquamation but does not affect the global severity of imiquimod-induced skin inflammation in mice [PDF]
Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that significantly impacts the patients’ quality of life. Recent studies highlighted the function of the interleukin (IL)-1 family member IL-38 in skin homeostasis and suggested an anti-inflammatory

Low serum interleukin‐38 levels in patients with Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundAutoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) mainly includes Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), which is caused by individual genetics, autoimmune dysfunction, and a variety of external environmental factors. Interleukin (IL)‐38 is involved in a wide range of autoimmune diseases, but little is known about IL‐38 expression in ...

Full-length and N-terminally truncated recombinant interleukin-38 variants are similarly inefficient in antagonizing interleukin-36 and interleukin-1 receptors [PDF]
Background Interleukin (IL)-38 is an IL-1 family cytokine that was proposed to exert anti-inflammatory effects. However, its mechanisms of action are not well understood and the identity of the IL-38 receptor(s) remains debated.

Interleukin‐38 suppresses abdominal aortic aneurysm formation in mice by regulating macrophages in an IL1RL2‐p38 pathway‐dependent manner [PDF]
Macrophages play crucial roles in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation through the inflammatory response and extracellular matrix degradation; therefore, regulating macrophages may suppress AAA formation. Interleukin‐38 (IL‐38) is a member of the IL‐
