- Extra Details:
- Interleukin-18 (IL-18), originally termed interferon-gamma-inducing factor, is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine of the IL-1 family. Synthesized as an inactive precursor, its maturation requires cleavage by caspase-1, and it is released during pyroptosis via GSDMD pores, linking it to innate immune danger signals. Mature IL-18 signals through a receptor complex (IL-18R1/IL-18RAP), activating a MyD88/NF-K KappaB pathway that drives inflammatory gene expression. Its most critical function is the potent synergy with IL-12 to induce high-level interferon-gamma (IFN-G Gamma) production from T-helper 1 (Th1) cells and natural killer (NK) cells, defining its central role in Th1-type immunity. IL-18 also enhances NK cell cytotoxicity and regulates other cytokines like GM-CSF and IL-10. While promoting Th1 responses, it can also influence Th2 differentiation under specific conditions. Due to this potent activity, dysregulated IL-18 is implicated in autoimmune diseases (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis), metabolic syndromes, sepsis, and cancer progression. Therefore, therapeutic neutralization of IL-18 is a promising strategy for treating inflammation-driven pathologies.
