Background: IL-37/IL-1F7

Human Interleukin-1 family member 7 (IL-1F7), also named FIL-1 zeta, IL‑37, IL‑1H4, IL-1HL and IL‑1RP1, is an anti-inflammatory member of the IL‑1 cytokine family (1-3). Alternative splicing generates multiple isoforms (IL‑37a through e) with deletions in the N-terminal region of the molecule (4-7). The longest IL-1F7 transcript encodes IL-37b, which shares approximately 21%, 24%, and 30% aa sequence identity with mature IL-1 alpha, IL‑1 beta, and IL-1ra, respectively. Mouse IL‑37 has not been reported, but human IL‑37b is active on mouse cells. Like IL‑1 alpha, IL‑1 beta and IL‑18, all of the IL‑37 variants lack a typical signal peptide. IL-37b is up-regulated by inflammatory stimuli in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (8). Experimental over-expression of IL‑37b in vivo limits the inflammatory response and protects mice from colitis and LPS-induced shock (8, 9). Both unprocessed and mature IL‑37b can form homodimers in solution (8, 10). Although IL‑37b will bind to IL‑18 R alpha with low affinity, this has no effect on IL‑18 receptor activity (7, 10, 11). Alternatively, IL‑37b will also bind to IL‑18 BP, generating a complex that interacts with IL‑18 R beta. This has the effect of attenuating IL‑18 activity via the IL‑18 receptor (11). IL‑37b can also function intracellularly. Following LPS‑induced cleavage of its propeptide, IL‑37b associates with Smad3 and translocates to the nucleus. This results in a reduction of pro‑inflammatory cytokine secretion (12).
