The administration of interleukin 33 and deletion of IL-33 receptor, ST2 molecule, affects the induction of autoimmunity in different experimental models of human autoimmune diseases.
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a member of the IL-1 family, and previous studies found the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-33 gene was related to susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and Behcet's disease.
The interleukin (IL)-1 family member IL-33 has been described as intracellular alarmin with broad roles in wound healing, skin inflammation but also autoimmunity.
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is an IL-1 family cytokine which signals via its ST2 receptor and is involved in several autoimmune diseases by regulating T cell immune responses.
As a pleiotropic nuclear cytokine, IL-33 is a crucial factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases, allergic diseases, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a novel cytokine of the IL-1 cytokine family that has been recently implicated in several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and the association of IL-33 with BD has remained unknown.
Although ST2s has been associated with inflammatory processes in patients with sepsis, trauma, asthma, and autoimmunity, until now there are no reported studies showing the role of ST2/IL-33 in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The imbalance of inflammatory cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of MG. IL-33, a member of the IL-1 family, plays a key immune-modulation role in several autoimmune disease.
Attenuation of anergy through PD-1 blockade or IL-33 administration promoted the immediate breakdown of tolerance and onset of multiorgan autoimmunity.
IL-33 is considered a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule and plays an important role in many physiological and pathological settings such as tissue repair, allergy, autoimmune disease, infectious disease, and cancer.
Interleukin 33 (IL33) / ST2 pathway and ST2-interlukin18 receptor1-interlukin18 receptor accessory protein (ST2-IL18R1-IL18RAP) gene cluster have been involved in many autoimmune diseases but few report in autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD).
We also review T cell inhibitory receptors such as programmed cell death protein 1 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 and T cell-related important cytokines (interleukin [IL]-2, IL-6, IL-17, IL-7, and IL-33) involved in autoimmunity.
