Interleukin-38 is a negative regulator of trained immunity-A retrospective multi-omics study. [PDF]
Summary: Trained immunity is a long-lasting innate immune cell phenotype with benefits in infection control and recognized anti-cancer effects. Conversely, inappropriately induced trained immunity contributes to pathological inflammation, warranting the ...

Plasma levels of interleukin-38 in healthy aging and in type 2 diabetes
Plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-38 were evaluated in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and healthy controls. Plasma IL-38 was higher in T2DM patients and positively related to waist/hip ratio, HbA1c, uric acid, liver function tests, triglycerides ...

Opposing Effects of Interleukin-36γ and Interleukin-38 on Trained Immunity. [PDF]
Trained immunity is the process of long-term functional reprogramming (a de facto innate immune memory) of innate immune cells such as monocytes and macrophages after an exposure to pathogens, vaccines, or their ligands. The induction of trained immunity is mediated through epigenetic and metabolic mechanisms.

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 ...
