Interleukin-18 mediates interleukin-1-induced cardiac dysfunction.
Patients with heart failure (HF) have enhanced systemic IL-1 activity, and, in the experimental mouse model, IL-1 induces left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Whether the effects of IL-1 are direct or mediated by an inducible cytokine, such as IL-18, is unknown. Recombinant human IL-18-binding protein (IL-18BP) or an IL-18-blocking antibody (IL-18AB) was used to neutralize endogenous IL-...
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 کاملInterleukin-1 Mediates Neuroinflammatory Changes Associated With Diet-Induced Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation contributes to brain pathology in cerebrovascular disease through mechanisms that are poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS Here we show that atherosclerosis, a major systemic inflammatory disease, is associated with severe cerebrovascular inflammation in mice and that this effect is mediated by the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1). Apolipoprotei...
متن کاملInterleukin 18
Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a recently described member of the IL-1 cytokine superfamily, is now recognized as an important regulator of innate and acquired immune responses. IL-18 is expressed at sites of chronic inflammation, in autoimmune diseases, in a variety of cancers, and in the context of numerous infectious diseases. This short review will describe the basic biology of IL-18 and thereafte...
متن کاملInterleukin-18/interleukin-18 binding protein signaling modulates ischemia-induced neovascularization in mice hindlimb.
Identification of factors that may stimulate ischemia-induced neovascularization without increasing atherosclerotic plaque progression is of major therapeutic importance. We hypothesized that interleukin-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), a major antiinflammatory protein with plaque-stabilizing activities, may affect the neovascularization in mice ischemic hindlimb. Ischemia was produced by artery f...
