Background
Interleukin-18
(IL-18) is a proinflammatory cytokine in the IL-1 family that exerts distinct
immune effects depending on the local cytokine environment. It is expressed as
a 24 kDa precursor by endothelial and epithelial cells,
keratinocytes, gamma δ T cells, and phagocytes. The precursor is activated
intracellularly by Caspase-1 mediated proteolysis to release the 17 kDa
mature cytokine. The precursor can also be released by necrotic cells for
extracellular cleavage by multiple proteases. IL‑18 activation is induced by
infection or tissue damage and contributes to disease pathology in chronic
inflammation (1-3). IL-18 binds to the widely expressed IL-18 R alpha which recruits
IL-18 R beta to form the signaling receptor complex (4, 5). Its bioactivity is
negatively regulated by interactions with IL-18 binding proteins and virally
encoded IL-18BP homologs (6). In the presence of IL-12 or IL-15, IL-18 enhances
anti-viral Th1 immune responses by inducing IFN-gamma production and the cytolytic
activity of CD8+ T cells and NK cells (7, 8). In the
absence of IL-12 or IL-15, however, IL-18 promotes production of the Th2
cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 by CD4+ T cells and basophils
(9, 10). In the presence of IL-1 beta or IL-23, IL-18 induces the
antigen-independent production of IL-17 by gamma δ T cells and CD4+ T cells
(11). IL-18 also promotes myeloid dendritic cell maturation and triggers
neutrophil respiratory burst (12, 13). In cancer, IL-18 exhibits diverse
activities including enhancing anti-tumor immunity, inhibiting or promoting
angiogenesis, and promoting tumor cell metastasis (14). Mature human IL-18
shares approximately 63% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat
IL-18 (15). Alternative splicing in human ovarian cancer generates an isoform
that is resistant to Caspase-1 activation (16). A cell surface form can be
expressed on M-CSF induced macrophages and released in response to bacterial
endotoxin (17).
