Abstract EN
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a recently described member of the IL-1 family.
IL-33 acts as an alarmin, chemoattractant, and nuclear factor.
ST2, a member of the Toll-like receptor/IL-1R superfamily, the receptor of IL-33, triggers a plethora of downstream effectors and leads the activation of NFK-B, leading the expression of several genes.
IL-33 and ST2 are expressed in the majority of cell types, and the IL-33/ST2 axis has a role in immune response, bone homeostasis, and osteoclastogenesis.
Several studies show opposite roles of IL-33 in osteoclastogenesis and the implication in bone biology.
Few works studied the role of IL-33 in periodontal disease, but we hypothesize a possible role of IL-33 in periodontal disease and bone loss.
