Interleukin-18 in Inflammatory Kidney Disease
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Interleukin (IL)-18, a member of the IL-1 superfamily, is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is structurally similar to IL-1β. IL-18 promotes the production of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and strongly induces a Th1 response.

Interleukin-18, neutrophils, and ANCA [PDF]
Kidney International, 2006 Hewins et al. show that IL-18 is expressed in the kidneys of patients with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis, and that IL-18 primes neutrophils via p38 MAPK. These findings suggest a role for IL-18, including IL-18-induced T(H)1 polarization and IFN-gamma production, in the progression of ANCA disease.
