Effect of IL-18 binding protein on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by infrarenal aortic occlusion

Abstract: PurposeSevere local and systemic tissue damage called ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury occurs during the period of reperfusion. Free oxygen radicals and proinflammatory cytokines are responsible for reperfusion injury. IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) is a natural inhibitor of IL-18. The balance between IL-18 and IL-18BP has an important role in the inflammatory setting. The present study aimed to investigate whether IL-18BP had a protective role in remote organ hepatic IR injury.MethodsWistar-Albino rats were … Show more

“…Administration of IL-18BP mitigated hepatic oxidative stress, which was well-recognized to trigger production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion molecules. Afterwards, hepatic pathological structure was protected [8].…”

“…Other non-immune cells can also express IL-18 such as intestinal and airway epithelial cells, keratinocytes, airway epithelium, corneal epithelial cells, renal tubular epithelial cells [7]. The main role of IL-18 is to crucially stimulate lymphocytes to produce the IFN-␥ [5] a equal contribution and regulate macrophages activity, thereby increasing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, IL-1␤, CCL4 (macrophage inflammatory protein-1 ␤), CXCL2 (macrophage inflammatory protein-2), and CCL2 (monocyte chemotactic protein-1) [8]. IL-18 in conjunction with IL-12 can stimulate the production of IFN-␥ by B and T cells and potentiate the cytolytic activity of natural killer (NK) cells, and induce Th1 and Th2 responses (figure 1) [9,10].…”
