Anti-inflammatory and Antiapoptotic Effect of Interleukine-18 Binding Protein on the Spinal Cord Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Abstract: We investigated the anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects of interleukin-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) on spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Twenty-one adult male rats were divided into three groups: sham, I/R, and I/R+IL-18BP. Proinflammatory cytokines were determined in rat blood samples by using ELISA, while apoptosis was immunohistochemically evaluated in spinal cord tissue using caspase 3. Both IL-18 and TNF-α were significantly decreased in the IL-18BP group compared to that in t… Show more

“…5 Transgenic overexpression of IL-18BP and exogenous IL-18BP administration significantly suppress IL-18 function and attenuate I/R injury in several organs, such as the heart, kidney, and spinal cord. [31][32][33][34] In liver injury models, the protective effects of IL-18BP have also been demonstrated. For example, FIGURE 5.…”

“…Cellular damage, DNA fragmentation, apoptosis, and increased activity of nuclear kappa B (NF-κB) cause local and systemic organ damage [ 12 ]. Proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-18, TNF-α, and IFN-γ have important roles, especially in the pathophysiology of reperfusion injury [ 13 ]. Hepatic IR injury is a complex mechanism involving many cytokines, endothelin, and oxygen free radicals and it may also frequently appear in the clinical practice after liver trauma, liver transplantation, and liver resection.…”

“…Proinflammatory cytokines tend to be the more prevalently used outcome variables, as increased proinflammatory cytokines have consistently demonstrated to indicate worsening of the immune system, and may therefore be reliable and direct indicators of disease progression [32]. In addition, despite serum proinflammatory cytokines being peripheral in nature, they have been described as mediators of many pathways underlying the CNS through its important roles in inflammatory response [38], therefore may provide valuable insight with regards to the pathophysiology of PTSD from a CNS perspective. Proinflammatory cytokines increase in concentration with age but also may be elevated with stress as well as secondary symptoms of stress such as sleep and fatigue [24].…”
