Background
|
Interleukin-36
is a pro-inflammatory cytokine which plays an important role in the
pathophysiology of several diseases. IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ (formerly IL-1F6, IL-1F8, and
IL-1F9) are IL-1 family members that signal through the IL-1 receptor family
members IL-1Rrp2 (IL-1RL2) and IL-1RAcP. IL-36 beta is reported to be
expressed at higher levels in psoriatic plaques than in symptomless psoriatic
skin or healthy control skin and it can stimulate production of interleukin-6
and interleukin-8 in synovial fibrobasts, articular chondrocytes and mature
adipocytes. IL-36 beta has two isoforms. IL-36β2
contains one potential N-linked glycosylation site in its C-terminus, while
IL -36β isoform 1 lacks potential N-linked
glycosylation sites and four of the conserved β-strands.
Within the IL-1 family, IL-36β/IL-1F8 shares 30%,
32%, 37%, 46%, 34%, 45% and 28% aa sequence identity with IL-1 ra, IL-1β, IL-36Ra/IL-1F5, IL-36α/IL-1F6,
IL-37/IL-1F7, IL-36γ/IL-1F9 and IL-1F10,
respectively.
