Divergent responses to thermogenic stimuli in BAT and subcutaneous adipose tissue from interleukin 18 and interleukin 18 receptor 1-deficient mice
Brown and beige adipocytes recruitment in brown (BAT) or white adipose tissue, mainly in the inguinal fat pad (iWAT), meet the need for temperature adaptation in cold-exposure conditions and protect against obesity in face of hypercaloric diets. Using interleukin18 (Il18) and Il18 receptor 1- knockout (Il18r1-KO) mice, this study aimed to investigate the role of IL18 signaling in BAT and iWAT a...
متن کاملInterleukin 1-β, Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist, and Interleukin 18 in Children with Acute Spontaneous Urticaria
UNLABELLED Very little is known about the role of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in urticaria. MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum levels of IL-1β, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), and IL-18 were measured in 56 children with urticaria and in 41 healthy subjects. RESULTS Serum IL-1β did not differ between children with acute urticaria and controls. Children with single episode of...
متن کاملReduced atherosclerosis in interleukin-18 deficient apolipoprotein E-knockout mice.
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which T helper 1 (Th1) immunity has been proposed to play an important role. Nai;ve CD4+ T cells differentiate into interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) producing Th1 effector cells when stimulated by interleukin-18 (IL-18) and IL-12. We wanted to directly test whether the Th1 pathway is proatherogenic. METHODS We bred IL-18(-/-) mice with apoli...
متن کاملInterleukin-18 and interleukin-18 receptor-α expression in allergic asthma.
The inflammatory process in allergic asthma is initiated by Thelper (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]. IL-18 is another pro-inflammatory cytokine, initially described as interferon (IFN)-c-inducing factor [2]. ...
متن کاملInterleukin 18 restores defective Th1 immunity to Candida albicans in caspase 1-deficient mice.
Caspase 1, formerly designated interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta)-converting enzyme, processes pro-IL-1beta and pro-IL-18 to yield active cytokines that play a pivotal role in inflammation and cell activation. We show here the effect of caspase 1 deficiency on the inflammatory and adaptive immune responses to the fungus Candida albicans. Caspase 1 deficiency did not affect susceptibility to primary s...
