The structural basis for receptor recognition of human interleukin-18 [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2014
AbstractInterleukin (IL)-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the IL-1 family and plays an important role in inflammation. The uncontrolled release of this cytokine is associated with severe chronic inflammatory disease. IL-18 forms a signalling complex with the IL-18 receptor α (Rα) and β (Rβ) chains at the plasma membrane, which induces ...

TRAM is involved in IL-18 signaling and functions as a sorting adaptor for MyD88. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
MyD88, a Toll/interleukin-1 receptor homology (TIR) domain-containing adaptor protein, mediates signals from the Toll-like receptors (TLR) or IL-1/IL-18 receptors to downstream kinases. In MyD88-dependent TLR4 signaling, the function of MyD88 is enhanced

Evidence for Monocyte Reprogramming in a Long-Term Postsepsis Study

Critical Care Explorations, 2022
OBJECTIVES:. This study sought to identify monocyte alterations from septic patients after hospital discharge by evaluating gene expression of inflammatory mediators and monocyte polarization markers.

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

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 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. We examined the expression of IL-18R alpha-chain and beta-chain and the biologic effects of IL-18 in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) after long ...

IL-13 receptors as possible therapeutic targets in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a universally fatal childhood cancer of the brain. Despite the introduction of conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, improvements in survival have been marginal and long-term survivorship is uncommon. Thus,

Interleukin-18 Stimulates a Positive Feedback Loop During Renal Obstruction via Interleukin-18 Receptor [PDF]

Journal of Urology, 2011
Interleukin-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine that is an important mediator of obstruction induced renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis independent of tumor necrosis factor-α and β1 activity. We hypothesized that interleukin-18 stimulates a positive feedback loop during obstruction via interleukin-18 receptor to increase interleukin-18 gene expression and ...

The Inflammasome in Host Defense

Sensors, 2009
Nod-like receptors have emerged as an important family of sensors in host defense. These receptors are expressed in macrophages, dendritic cells and monocytes and play an important role in microbial immunity. Some Nod-like receptors form the inflammasome,

Constitutive expression of Interleukin-18 and Interleukin-18 receptor mRNA in tumour derived human B-cell lines [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2004
SUMMARYInterleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the Th1 immune response and expressed by a variety of cell types. IL-18 is a member of the IL-1 family and plays an important role in autoimmune diseases and inflammation. Using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) mRNA expression of IL-18, IL-18 receptor alpha
