Function | Immune regulatory cytokine that acts as a suppressor of innate inflammatory and immune responses involved in curbing excessive inflammation. Signaling can occur via two mechanisms, intracellularly through nuclear translocation with SMAD3 and extracellularly after secretion and binding to its receptor composed of IL18R1 and IL18RAP. Suppresses, or reduces, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, including IL1A and IL6, as well as CCL12, CSF1, CSF2, CXCL13, IL1B, IL23A and IL1RN, but spares anti-inflammatory cytokines. Inhibits dendritic cell activation. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol. Nucleus. Secreted Note=Stimulation with IL1B leads to colocalization with SMAD3 mostly in perinuclear regions (PubMed:20935647, PubMed:33674380). Only the CASP1- cleaved mature form translocates into the nucleus upon LPS stimulation (PubMed:18390730). The secretion is dependent on protein unfolding and facilitated by the cargo receptor TMED10; it results in protein translocation from the cytoplasm into the ERGIC (endoplasmic reticulum- Golgi intermediate compartment) followed by vesicle entry and secretion (PubMed:32272059, PubMed:33674380). |
Tissue Location | In general, low constitutive expression, if any, in healthy tissues; high expression in inflammatory counterparts, including in synovial tissues from individuals with active rheumatoid arthritis. Isoform A, isoform B and isoform C are expressed in testis, colon, placenta, lung and lymph node. Isoform D and isoform E were found only in testis and bone marrow. Whereas only isoform A is found in brain, only isoform B in kidney and only isoform C in heart |

Background
Interleukin 37 (IL-37) is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family (reviewed in 1). It can bind to, and may be a ligand for interleukin 18 receptor (IL18R1/IL-1Rrp). IL-37 also binds to interleukin 18 binding protein (IL18BP), an inhibitory binding protein of interleukin 18 (IL18), and subsequently forms a complex with IL18 receptor beta subunit, and through which it inhibits the activity of IL18 (1). IL-37 can also interact with Smad3 and expression of IL-37 in macrophages or epithelial cells resulted in near complete suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, suggesting that IL-37 may act as a natural suppressor of the innate inflammatory and immune responses (2,3).
