In animal models of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), pressure overload, and LPS-induced dysfunction, IL-18 regulates cardiomy- ocyte hypertrophy and induces cardiac contractile dysfunction and extracellular matrix remodeling. In patients, high IL-18 levels correlate with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and with a worse prognosis in patients with established CVD. Two strategies have been used to counter the effects of IL-18:IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), a naturally occurring protein, and a neutralizing IL-18 antibody. Recombinant human IL-18BP (r-hIL-18BP) has been investigated in animal studies and in phase I/II clinical trials for psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. A phase II clinical trial using a humanized monoclonal IL-18 antibody for type 2 diabetes is ongoing. Here we review the literature regarding the role of IL-18 in AMI and heart failure and the evidence and challenges of using IL-18BP and blocking IL-18 antibodies as a therapeutic strategy in patients with heart disease.

Upon stimulation with Ag plus IL-12, naïve T cells develop into IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) expressing Th1 cells, which increase IFN-γ production in response to IL-18 stimulation. Therefore, IL-12 is a commitment factor that induces the development of Th1 cells. In contrast, IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine that facilitates type 1 responses. However, IL-18 without IL-12 but with IL-2, stimulates NK cells, CD4+ NKT cells, and established Th1 cells, to produce IL-3, IL-9, and IL-13. Furthermore, together with IL-3, IL-18 stimulates mast cells and basophils to produce IL-4, IL-13, and chemical mediators such as histamine. Therefore, IL-18 is a cytokine that stimulates various cell types and has pleiotropic functions. IL-18 is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines. IL-18 demonstrates a unique function by binding to a specific receptor expressed on various types of cells.

  • SIGIRR (CT) Antibody (Pab)
    21.10.2014SIGIRR (CT) antibody (pAb) Rabbit Anti -Human/Mouse SIGIRR (TLR Inhibitor) Instruction Manual Catalog Number PK-AB718-3367 Synonyms SIGIRR Antibody: Description SIGIRR is a member of the Toll-like receptor-interleukin 1 receptor superfamily. Members of this family are defined by the presence of an intracellular Toll-IL-1R (TIR) domain. The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are signaling molecules that recognize different microbial products during infection and serve as an important link between the innate and adaptive immune responses. SIGIRR was originally identified through database analysis and was shown to have only one Ig domain as opposed to the normal three Ig folds seen in the TIR family. Similar to ST2, another TIR family member, it has been shown to negatively regulate IL-1 receptor and Toll-like receptor signaling. However, SIGIRR inhibits TLR-IL-1R signaling by dimerizing with TLR4, TLR5, TLR9, and IL-1R. It also associates with the down-stream TLR signaling proteins IRAK and TRAF6 in an IL-1- dependent fashion. Quantity 100 µg Source / Host Rabbit Immunogen Rabbit polyclonal SIGIRR antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to 15 amino acids at the C-terminus of mouse SIGIRR (Genbank accession No. CAG33619). Purification Method Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column. Clone / IgG Subtype Polyclonal antibody Species Reactivity Human, Mouse Specificity Formulation Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. Reconstitution During shipment, small volumes of antibody will occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial. For products with volumes of 200 μl or less, we recommend gently tapping the vial on a hard surface or briefly centrifuging the vial in a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container’s cap.

    Toll-Like Receptor Signaling and SIGIRR in Renal Fibrosis upon Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction Veronika Skuginna1., Maciej Lech1., Ramanjaneyulu Allam1, Mi Ryu1, Sebastian Clauss1,2, Heni Eka Susanti1, Christoph Ro¨ mmele1, Cecilia Garlanda3, Alberto Mantovani3, Hans-Joachim Anders1* 1 Department of Nephrology, Medizinische Poliklinik, University of Munich, Munich, Germany, 2 Medizinische Klinik und Poliklinik I Grosshadern, University of Munich, Munich, Germany, 3 Istituto Clinico Humanitas and Fondazione Humanitas per la Ricerca, Rozzano, Italy Abstract Innate immune activation via IL-1R or Toll-like receptors (TLR) contibutes to acute kidney injury but its role in tissue remodeling during chronic kidney disease is unclear. SIGIRR is an inhibitor of TLR-induced cytokine and chemokine expression in intrarenal immune cells, therefore, we hypothesized that Sigirr-deficiency would aggravate postobstructive renal fibrosis. The expression of TLRs as well as endogenous TLR agonists increased within six days after UUO in obstructed compared to unobstructed kidneys while SIGIRR itself was downregulated by day 10. However, lack of SIGIRR did not affect the intrarenal mRNA expression of proinflammatory and profibrotic mediators as well as the numbers of intrarenal macrophages and T cells or morphometric markers of tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis. Because SIGIRR is known to block TLR/IL-1R signaling at the level of the intracellular adaptor molecule MyD88 UUO experiments were also performed in mice deficient for either MyD88, TLR2 or TLR9. After UUO there was no significant change of tubular interstitial damage and interstitial fibrosis in neither of these mice compared to wildtype counterparts. Additional in-vitro studies with CD90+ renal fibroblasts revealed that TLR agonists induce the expression of IL-6 and MCP-1/CCL2 but not of TGF-b, collagen-1a or smooth muscle actin.

Overactivation of the innate immune system together with the impaired downstream pathway of type I interferon-responding genes is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and systemic sclerosis (SSc). To date, limited data on the cross-disease innate gene signature exists among those diseases. We compared therefore an innate gene signature of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), seven key members of the interleukin (IL)1/IL1R family, and CXCL8/IL8 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from well-defined patients with active stages of RA (n =36, DAS28 ≥ 3 2), SLE (n =28, SLEDAI > 6), and SSc (n =22, revised EUSTAR index > 2 25).
