Expression of Interleukin-18 in Human Atherosclerotic Plaques and Relation to Plaque Instability

TL;DR: These results suggest, for the first time, a major role for IL-18 in atherosclerotic plaque destabilization leading to acute ischemic syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-18/Interleukin-18 Binding Protein Signaling Modulates Atherosclerotic Lesion Development and Stability

TL;DR: In vivo electrotransfer of an expression-plasmid DNA encoding for murine IL-18 binding protein (BP) (the endogenous inhibitor of IL- 18) prevents fatty streak development in the thoracic aorta of apoE knockout mice and slows progression of advanced atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic sinus.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Key Role for Cc Chemokine Receptor 4 in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Endotoxic Shock

TL;DR: The data reveal an unexpected role for CCR4 in the inflammatory response leading to LPS-induced lethality, which may reflect a defect in the ability of the CCR 4−/− macrophages to be retained in the peritoneal cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic effect of neutralizing endogenous IL-18 activity in the collagen-induced model of arthritis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that neutralizing endogenous IL-18 is therapeutically efficacious in the murine model of collagen-induced arthritis and could represent new disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs that warrant testing in clinical trials in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
