Interleukin-1 and Related Cytokines in the Regulation of Inflammation and Immunity

Summary: | Forty years after its naming, interleukin-1 (IL-1) is experiencing a renaissance brought on by the growing understanding of its context-dependent roles and advances in the clinic. Recent studies have identified important roles for members of the IL-1 family—IL-18, IL-33, IL-36, IL-37, and IL-38—in inflammation and immunity. Here, we review the complex functions of IL-1 family members in the orchestration of innate and adaptive immune responses and their diversity and plasticity. We discuss the varied roles of IL-1 family members in immune homeostasis and their contribution to pathologies, including autoimmunity and auto-inflammation, dysmetabolism, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer. The trans-disease therapeutic activity of anti-IL-1 strategies argues for immunity and inflammation as a metanarrative of modern medicine.
Mantovani et al. review the complex functions of IL-1 family members in the orchestration of innate and adaptive immune responses and discuss how our growing understanding of the context-dependent roles of these cytokines are informing advances in the clinic. |
