Background
IL-18 (Interleukin-18) belongs to IL-1 pro-inflammatory cytokine superfamily. It is synthesized as pro-IL-18 in macrophages and epithelial cells, and mature bioactive IL-18 is liberated after inflammasome-dependent cleavage. IL-18 potently stimulates IFN-γ secretion and promotes Th1-type immunity, augmenting cytotoxic function of NK and T-cells. It is critical for anti-pathogen defense, yet aberrant over-secretion contributes to autoimmunity, chronic inflammation and tissue injury. IL-18 exhibits dual roles in cancer: it can promote anti-tumor immunity or exacerbate tumor progression context-dependently.
