Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in natural killer cell activation and the T helper 1 (Th1) cell response, particularly in collaboration with IL-12. Since Th1 cells play a pivotal role in the host defense against infection with intracellular microbes, such as Leishmania major, we investigated whether IL-18 is critically involved in protection aga...
BACKGROUND Interferon (IFN)-gamma is a key to protective immunity against a variety of intracellular bacterial infections, including Chlamydia trachomatis. Interleukin (IL)-18, a recently identified Th1 cytokine, together with IL-12 is a strong stimulator for IFN-gamma production. We investigated the relative roles of IL-18 and IL- 12 in protective immunity to C. trachomatis mouse pneumonitis (...
We previously reported in ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice that caspase-1-mediated production of interleukin-18 (IL-18) is pathogenic and that macrophage depletion by liposome-encapsulated clodronate (LEC) is protective. Therefore, our aim was to determine whether macrophages are a source of IL-18 in ischemic AKI in mice. On immunofluorescence staining of the outer stripe of outer med...
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory cytokine expressed in female reproductive organs in humans, rats and mice. The physiological roles of uterine IL-18 and the regulatory mechanisms of IL-18 gene expression are unclear. The present study aimed to clarify the effects of estradiol-17beta (E2) and progesterone (P4) on IL-18 mRNA expression in the mouse uterus. Distribution and expression l...
Synergistic effect of IL-2, IL-12, and IL-18 on thymocyte apoptosis and Th1/Th2 cytokine expression.
In the periphery, IL-18 synergistically induces the expression of the Th1 cytokine IFN-gamma in the presence of IL-12 and the Th2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 in the presence of IL-2. Although the expression of these cytokines has been described in the thymus, their role in thymic development and function remains uncertain. We report here that freshly isolated thymocytes from C57BL/6 and BALB/c mic...
Introduction: Obesity is a state characterized by a low-grade inflammation that leads to insulin resistance. The aim of the present study was to assess serum interleukin-18 (IL-18), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in response to circuit resistance exercise in obese and normal-weight subjects with different levels of...
زمینه: عفونت هلیکوباکترپیلوری با التهاب معده و ارتشاح سلولهای پاسخ ایمنی به بافت مخاط معده مرتبط میباشد. چندین سایتوکاین از این سلولهای التهابی ترشح میشوند که در نتیجه آن التهاب موضعی بهوجود آمده، گسترش پیدا کرده و تداوم مییابد. عفونتهای بالینی مختلف ممکن است الگوی بیان سایتوکاینی متفاوتی داشته باشند. گزارش شده که در عفونت هلیکوباکترپیلوری سایتوکاینهایی مانند IL-1 بتا، فاکتور نکروزدهنده...
Objective. To examine the mechanism of regulation of interleukin-18 (IL-18) bioactivity by IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) induction. Methods. Levels of IL-18 and IL-18BPa in synovial fluid samples from patients with osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), followed by calculation of free IL-18. IL-18 and IL-18BPa synthesis...
