Interleukin-1 Family Cytokines in Liver Diseases
The gene encoding IL-1 was sequenced more than 30 years ago, and many related cytokines, such as IL-18, IL-33, IL-36, IL-37, IL-38, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and IL-36Ra, have since been identified. IL-1 is a potent proinflammatory cytokine and is involved in various inflammatory diseases. Other IL-1 family ligands are critical for the development of diverse diseases, including inflamm...

متن کاملDual functionality of interleukin-1 family cytokines: implications for anti-interleukin-1 therapy
Dysregulated inflammation contributes to disease pathogenesis in both the periphery and the brain. Cytokines are coordinators of inflammation and were originally defined as secreted mediators, released from expressing cells to activate plasma membrane receptors on responsive cells. However, a group of cytokines is now recognized as having dual functionality. In addition to their extracellular e...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 family of cytokines and gp130.
G ROWTH AND DIFFERENTIATION of cells in the immune and hematopoietic systems are regulated by cytokines or interleukins. One of the characteristic features of cytokines is their functional pleiotropy and redundancy, ie, one cytokine shows a wide variety of biologic functions on various tissues and cells, and several different cytokines exert similar and overlapping functions on a certain cell. ...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 family cytokines and sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease predominantly affecting the lungs. It is believed to be caused by exposure to pathogenic antigens in genetically susceptible individuals but the causative antigen has not been identified. The formation of non-caseating granulomas at sites of ongoing inflammation is the key feature of the disease. Other aspects of the pathogenesis are peripheral T-...
