IL-33 is negatively associated with the BMI and confers a protective lipid/metabolic profile in non-diabetic but not diabetic subjects

Abstract: ObjectiveRecent studies have demonstrated a protective role for IL-33 against obesity-associated inflammation, atherosclerosis and metabolic abnormalities. IL-33 promotes the production of T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokines, polarizes macrophages towards a protective alternatively activated phenotype, reduces lipid storage and decreases the expression of genes associated with lipid metabolism and adipogenesis. Our objective was to determine the level of serum IL-33 in non-diabetic and diabetic subjects, and to co… Show more

“…Its receptor, soluble ST-2, has been shown to be protective in certain conditions such as obesity and atherosclerosis. IL-33 exerts protective metabolic effects by decreasing IR, leading to the accumulation of protective Th2 cells and cytokines and consequently reducing adipogenesis (14,15).…”

“…Conflicting data exist with regard to the role of the IL-33/Il1rl1/ ST2 axis in metabolism. On one hand, IL-33 has been considered to prevent adipose tissue inflammation and thus reduce metabolic complications (38,41). However, other studies have linked increased Il-33 levels to morbid obesity and the development of diabetes (40,41).…”

“…Several studies provide evidence for a protective or beneficial role of IL‐33 in cardiovascular biology 9, 10. Of note, the administration of recombinant IL‐33 exerted a protective effect in the apolipoprotein E‐deficient (ApoE ‐/‐ ) mouse model of atherosclerosis.…”
