IL-1R8, also known as SIGIRR or TIR8, is a trans-membrane protein belonging to the IL-1 receptor family. The human gene includes ten exons, and alternative splicing can result in different isoforms. We, herein, characterized a longer isoform of IL-1R8 containing an in-frame additional sequence between the TIR domain and the C-terminal portion of the protein. IL-1R8 Long (IL-1R8L1) mRNA was specifically expressed and regulated in distinct cell lines, in a manner similar to the classic isoform. Overexpression of IL-1R8L1 resulted in the production of a corresponding protein that showed a pattern of cell localization similar to the classic isoform. An antibody directed against an IL-1R8L1 specific peptide, detected this novel isoform in different cell lines and tissues where this protein may complement the anti-inflammatory functions of classic IL-1R8.

Cytokines play a complex and pivotal role in modulating synovitis in rheumatoid arthritis. Interleukin (IL)-37 is known for its extensive anti-inflammatory properties that set it apart from the majority of other IL-1 family members. However, IL-37a, a member of the IL-37 family, lacks research into rheumatoid arthritis.

The spontaneous migration of bone marrow neutrophils (BMNs) is typically induced by distant tumor cells during the early stage of the tumor and critically controls tumor progression and metastases. Therefore, identifying the key molecule that prevents this process is extremely important for suppressing tumors. Interleukin-37 (IL-37) can suppress pro-inflammatory cytokine generation via an IL-1R8- or Smad3-mediated pathway.

Interleukin 37 (IL-37) is a recently discovered member of the IL-1 cytokine family that appears to have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects in various diseases. IL-37 acts as a dual-function cytokine, exerting its effect extracellularly by forming a complex with the receptors IL-18 α (IL-18Rα) and IL-1R8 and transmitting anti-inflammatory signals, as well as intracellularly by interacting with Smad3, entering the nucleus, and inhibiting the transcription of pro-inflammatory genes. Consequently, IL-37 is linked to IL-18, which plays a role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD), consistent with our studies.

White adipose tissue (WAT) homeostasis substantiated by type 2 immunity is indispensable to counteract obesity and metabolic disorders. IL-33/suppression of tumorigenicity (ST) 2 signaling promotes type 2 response in WAT, while potential regulators remain to be discovered. We identified human IL-37 isoform D (IL-37D) as an effective trigger for ST2-mediated type 2 immune homeostasis in WAT.
