Background | IL36B, also known as Interleukin 36 beta and IL1F8, is a cytokine belonging to the IL-1 family. It is actively secreted and is found to form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2 with eight other IL1 cytokines. IL36B signals through the IL1Rrp2/IL-36R receptor on dendritic cells which then activates NFkB and MAPK signalling pathways to create a pro-inflammatory response. It stimulates the production of mature adipocytes, and IL6 and IL8 synovial fibroblasts. It also induces expression of some antimicrobial peptides and matrix metalloproteases. It is highly expressed in psoriatic plaques, as part of the IL36 signalling system is found in many epithelial barriers. |

Target Details
Target Function | Cytokine that binds to and signals through the IL1RL2/IL-36R receptor which in turn activates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways in target cells linked to a pro-inflammatory response. Part of the IL-36 signaling system that is thought to be present in epithelial barriers and to take part in local inflammatory response; similar to the IL-1 system with which it shares the coreceptor IL1RAP. Stimulates production of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in synovial fibrobasts, articular chondrocytes and mature adipocytes. Induces expression of a number of antimicrobial peptides including beta-defensins 4 and 103 as well as a number of matrix metalloproteases. Seems to be involved in skin inflammatory response by acting on keratinocytes, dendritic cells and indirectly on T-cells to drive tissue infiltration, cell maturation and cell proliferation. In cultured keratinocytes induces the expression of macrophage, T-cell, and neutrophil chemokines, such as CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL2, CCL17, CCL22, CL20, CCL5, CCL2, CCL17, CCL22, CXCL8, CCL20 and CXCL1, and the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-8 and IL-6. |

- With a focus on the skin as a target for microbial and viral invasion, the current knowledge of IL-36: IL-36alpha, IL-36beta and IL-36gamma, functions is reviewed. One physiological function of the IL-36smay be to counteract microbial immune evasion. [Review] PMID: 28811383
