Summary
IL37 (interleukin 37, HGNC:15563) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q14.1, encoding Interleukin-37 (Q9NZH6). Immune regulatory cytokine that acts as a suppressor of innate inflammatory and immune responses involved in curbing excessive inflammation.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine can bind to, and may be a ligand for interleukin 18 receptor (IL18R1/IL-1Rrp). This cytokine also binds to interleukin 18 binding protein (IL18BP), an inhibitory binding protein of interleukin 18 (IL18), and subsequently forms a complex with IL18 receptor beta subunit, and through which it inhibits the activity of IL18. This gene along with eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. Five alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

Function. Immune regulatory cytokine that acts as a suppressor of innate inflammatory and immune responses involved in curbing excessive inflammation. Signaling can occur via two mechanisms, intracellularly through nuclear translocation with SMAD3 and extracellularly after secretion and binding to its receptor composed of IL18R1 and IL18RAP. Suppresses, or reduces, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, including IL1A and IL6, as well as CCL12, CSF1, CSF2, CXCL13, IL1B, IL23A and IL1RN, but spares anti-inflammatory cytokines. Inhibits dendritic cell activation.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with SMAD3. Binds IL18R1, but not to IL1R1, with lower affinity than IL18, and does not seem to act as a receptor antagonist for IL18. Interacts with cargo receptor TMED10; the interaction mediates the translocation from the cytoplasm into the ERGIC (endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment) and thereby secretion.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol. Nucleus. Secreted.
Tissue specificity. In general, low constitutive expression, if any, in healthy tissues; high expression in inflammatory counterparts, including in synovial tissues from individuals with active rheumatoid arthritis. Isoform A, isoform B and isoform C are expressed in testis, colon, placenta, lung and lymph node. Isoform D and isoform E were found only in testis and bone marrow. Whereas only isoform A is found in brain, only isoform B in kidney and only isoform C in heart.
Post-translational modifications. Proteolytically converted to the mature form by CASP1.
Disease relevance. Inflammatory bowel disease 31, autosomal recessive (IBD31) [MIM:619398] A form of inflammatory bowel disease, a chronic, relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract with a complex etiology and a multifactorial inheritance pattern. It is subdivided into Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis phenotypes. Crohn disease may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, but most frequently it involves the terminal ileum and colon. Bowel inflammation is transmural and discontinuous; it may contain granulomas or be associated with intestinal or perianal fistulas. In contrast, in ulcerative colitis, the inflammation is continuous and limited to rectal and colonic mucosal layers; fistulas and granulomas are not observed. Both diseases include extraintestinal inflammation of the skin, eyes, or joints. IBD31 patients suffer from infantile ulcerative colitis and present with recurrent bloody diarrhea with anemia and leukocytosis, extensive lymphoplasmocytic infiltration, cryptitis, and apoptotic crypt abcesses throughout the colon and rectum. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Induction. Highly induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and TGFB1, more moderately by IFNG, IL18, IL1B, TNF and the dinucleotide CpG (at protein level). Constitutive expression in bone marrow macrophages is down-regulated in the presence of IL4 and CSF2. Induced by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) in different cell lines.
Miscellaneous. The name IL-HL refers to isoform B containing polymorphisms Val-31 and Ala-42.
Similarity. Belongs to the IL-1 family.
