Targeting interleukin 18 with interleukin 18 binding protein [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2000
A novel, constitutively expressed and secreted interleukin 18 (IL18) binding protein (IL18BP) neutralises IL18. IL18BP shares many characteristics with soluble cytokine receptors of the IL1 family in that the protein exhibits specificity for IL18, belongs to the immunoglobulin-like class of receptors and has limited amino acid sequences with those of ...

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.

Expression of interleukin-18 receptor in fibroblast-like synoviocytes [PDF]

, 2001
An excess of the proinflammatory substance IL-18 is present in joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and expression of IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) regulates IL-18 bioactivity in various cell types.

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.

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].

Increased circulating levels and salivary gland expression of interleukin-18 in patients with Sjögren's syndrome: relationship with autoantibody production and lymphoid organization of the periductal inflammatory infiltrate [PDF]

, 2004
IL-18, an immunoregulatory and proinflammatory cytokine, has been shown to play an important pathogenic role in Th1-driven autoimmune disorders. In this study, we evaluated the circulating levels and salivary-gland expression of IL-18 in patients with Sj&
