Priming by recombinant chicken interleukin-2 induces selective expression of IL-8 and IL-18 mRNA in chicken heterophils during receptor-mediated phagocytosis of opsonized and nonopsonized Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis [PDF]

, 2003
Heterophils, the principal avian polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) equivalent to the mammalian neutrophil, function as professional phagocytes against bacterial infections, mediate acute inflammation, and respond to cytokine stimulation to aid in ...

Interleukin 10 And 18 levels in Essential Hypertensive

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2019
The mechanism underlying a sustained blood pressure elevation and its sequelae on the inflammatory cascades have not been totally unraveled. This research was, in addition to body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP ...

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.

IL-27 regulates IL-18 binding protein in skin resident cells [PDF]

, 2012
IL-18 is an important mediator involved in chronic inflammatory conditions such as cutaneous lupus erythematosus, psoriasis and chronic eczema. An imbalance between IL-18 and its endogenous antagonist IL-18 binding protein (BP) may account for increased ...

Human mid-gestation amniotic fluid contains interleukin-16 bioactivity [PDF]

, 2009
CD4-positive cells are detectable in the human fetal gastrointestinal tract from 11 weeks of gestation. Interleukin-16 (IL-16) is a chemoattractant for CD4(+) cells and, via fetal swallowing of amniotic fluid, could mediate the influx of CD4(+) cells ...

The circulating level of interleukins 6 and 18 in ischemic and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2019
Introduction: By aging population, the heart failure and its life-threatening complications have become an enormous issue in public health. Regarding the inflammation as a major contributing pathological factor, the determination of most important ...

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.

Truncated Chicken Interleukin-1β with Increased Biologic Activity [PDF]

, 2003
Chicken interleukin-1β (ChIL-1β) is synthesized as a precursor molecule that unlike its mammalian counterpart, lacks a typical caspase-1 cleavage site. Therefore, it was unclear if proteolytic cleavage of ChIL-1β can occur and if cleavage might modulate ...

Interleukin-18 in Health and Disease [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Interleukin (IL)-18 was originally discovered as a factor that enhanced IFN-γ production from anti-CD3-stimulated Th1 cells, especially in the presence of IL-12. Upon stimulation with Ag plus IL-12, naïve T cells develop into IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) expressing Th1 cells, which increase IFN-γ production in response to IL-18 stimulation. Therefore, IL-12

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 ...
