IL‐1, IL‐18, and IL‐33 families of cytokines

Abstract

Summary: The interleukin‐1 (IL‐1), IL‐18, and IL‐33 families of cytokines are related by mechanism of origin, receptor structure, and signal transduction pathways utilized. All three cytokines are synthesized as precursor molecules and cleaved by the enzyme caspase‐1 before or during release from the cell. The NALP‐3 inflammasome is of crucial importance in generating active caspase‐1. The IL‐1 family contains two agonists, IL‐1α and IL‐1β, a specific inhibitor, IL‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra), and two receptors, the biologically active type IL‐1R and inactive type II IL‐1R. Both IL‐1RI and IL‐33R utilize the same interacting accessory protein (IL‐1RAcP). The balance between IL‐1 and IL‐1Ra is important in preventing disease in various organs, and excess production of IL‐1 has been implicated in many human diseases. The IL‐18 family also contains a specific inhibitor, the IL‐18‐binding protein (IL‐18BP), which binds IL‐18 in the fluid phase. The IL‐18 receptor is similar to the IL‐1 receptor complex, including a single ligand‐binding chain and a different interacting accessory protein. IL‐18 provides an important link between the innate and adaptive immune responses. Newly described IL‐33 binds to the orphan IL‐1 family receptor T1/ST2 and stimulates T‐helper 2 responses as well as mast cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
