Novel Immunomodulatory Cytokine Regulates Inflammation, Diabetes, and Obesity to Protect From Diabetic Nephropathy

Abstract: Obesity-linked (type 2) diabetic nephropathy (T2DN) has become the largest contributor to morbidity and mortality in the modern world. Recent evidences suggest that inflammation may contribute to the pathogenesis of T2DN and T-regulatory cells (Treg) are protective. We developed a novel cytokine (named IL233) bearing IL-2 and IL-33 activities in a single molecule and demonstrated that IL233 promotes Treg and T-helper (Th) 2 immune responses to protect mice from inflammatory acute kidney injury. Here, we invest… Show more

“…Further, numerous pharmacological treatments aiming to reduce inflammation in metabolic diseases have positive effects on glucose tolerance in mice and human. These include the novel hybrid cytokine interleukin (IL) 233, which is produced in a genetically modified Escherichia coli by fusing murine IL-2 and murine IL-33 (14). Other treatment strategies include IL-1 receptor blockage (15), IL-1β antagonism (16), inhibition of the intracellular pro-inflammatory NF-κB pathway (17), and TNF antagonism (18) (Figure 2).…”

“…- A role in the recruitment and acquisition of T regulatory lymphocytes' innate competences IL-33 is implicated in the recruitment of T regulatory (Treg) lymphocytes during renal IR injury (46), and is associated with improved renal IR injury tolerance. Furthermore, the eutrophic functions of Treg lymphocytes present in visceral adipose tissue are dependent on the production of IL-33 by the stromal cells in adipose tissue (47, 48).…”

“…A recent study highlighted the beneficial effects of IL-233 in prevention of diabetic nephropathy in an Ob type 2 diabetes (DT2) mouse model. In this mouse model of predisposition to obesity and DT2 on account of an Ob mutation of leptin rendering the latter non-functional, IL233 treatment during or after the appearance of DT2 provides protection from diabetic nephropathy (46).…”

“…It remains to be evaluated whether this may be either a direct effect of these cells or through inducing an anti-inflammatory milieu, which may be conducive for progenitor cells to promote regenerative responses. Treatment with IL233 after the onset of lupus nephritis and diabetic nephropathy in animal models also induced persistent remission, suggestive of a reparative role of IL-33 alarmin in chronic renal injury (170,196,197). Current studies in our group are addressing the role of the IL-33/ST2 and IL233 in the repair of renal injury in both an immune-dependent and independent manner.…”
