摘要
IL-37属IL-1家族细胞因子,最初发现时被命名为IL-1F7,具有5种不同的亚型(IL37a^e)。研究已证实,IL-37能够抑制多种免疫细胞中促炎性细胞因子的产生,进而调节固有免疫应答;此外,IL-37对外源性刺激诱导的结肠炎、关节炎、胰腺炎等炎症性疾病具有一定的保护作用。总之,IL-37能够在多种炎症相关性疾病中发挥抑制作用,是一种新型的炎症抑制因子。
Inteleukin-37 is a member of IL-1 family and originally named as IL-1F7. It has five different subtypes( IL-37a-e). It has been reported that IL-37 suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines production of a variety of immune cells,and further regulate innate immune response. In addition, IL-37 has protective effects on colitis, arthritis,pancreatitis and other inflammatory diseases that induced by exogenous stimuli. In a word, IL-37 is a novel antiinflammatory cytokine and plays an important role in a variety of inflammation-related diseases.
