Article Abstract

Given the known involvement of IL-36 in psoriasis it might be surprising that the latest mouse models show that inhibiting IL-36 signalling does not alter the course of inflammatory arthritis. Can we now add IL-36 to the list of inflammatory mediators that are not viable DMARD targets?

Background: Interleukin (IL)-38 is an IL-1 family cytokine that was proposed to exert anti-inflammatory effects. However, its mechanisms of action are not well understood and the identity of the IL-38 receptor(s) remains debated. Proposed candidates include the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R1), the IL-36 receptor (IL-36R) and the orphan receptor IL-1RAPL1.

Background: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterised by the formation of non-caseating granulomas in breast tissue, primarily affecting young women of childbearing age. The aetiology of IGM remains unclear, with potential factors including trauma, hormonal influences, and autoimmune responses. Recent studies suggest that immune dysregulation may play a critical role in IGM, highlighting the need for exploration of biomarkers involved in inflammation and immune modulation, particularly LL-37, galectin-3, IL-36, and TLR3.

Antibody drugs targeting single inflammatory cytokines have revolutionized the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. To investigate whether dual targeting interleukin-17 (IL-17) and IL-36 enhances anti-inflammatory activity, bispecific Ab HB0043 was generated by linking the single chain fragment variables (scFvs) from humanized anti-IL-36R antibody (HB0034) to the C-terminus of the heavy chain of anti-IL-17A IgG1 (HB0017) Fc using a flexible peptide linker. HB0043 largely maintained the binding affinities and biological activities of the two parent monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) .

Background: Currently, there are no therapies targeting specific pathogenic pathways in myocarditis. IL (interleukin)-1 blockade has shown promise in preclinical studies and case reports. We hypothesized that blockade of IL1RAP (IL-1 receptor accessory protein), a shared subunit of the IL-1, IL-33, and IL-36 receptors, could be more efficient than IL-1 blockade alone.

Article Synopsis
  • Psoriasis, a complicated skin condition linked to inflammation, has unclear connections between its severity, related cytokine levels, and heart disease risk.
  • This study aimed to identify serum markers to help monitor cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in psoriasis patients by examining relationships between cytokines and coronary artery health.
  • Key findings highlight that specific cytokines (IL-17A, IL-19, IL-36) correlate with psoriasis severity, while markers like CD31 and resistin show promise for tracking coronary atherosclerosis progression, particularly in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
