Abstract EN
Background.
Interleukin-37 (IL-37), a newly described member of IL-1family, functioned as a fundamental inhibitor of innate inflammatory and immune responses, especially its isoform IL-37b.
Objective.
This study was undertaken to evaluate the expression and regulation of IL-37b in children with allergic rhinitis (AR).
Methods.
Forty children with AR and twenty-five normal controls were included.
The relationship between IL-37b and Th1/2 cytokines production in serum and nasal lavage was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were purified for in vitro regulation experiment of IL-37b.
Intranasal mometasone furoate was given in AR children and IL-37b change after one-month treatment was detected using ELISA.
Results.
We observed significantly decreased IL-37b expression levels in both serum and nasal lavage compared to controls.
IL-37b was negatively correlated with Th2 cytokines.
Our results also showed that IL-37b downregulated Th2 cytokine expressed by PBMCs and this modulation was through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway.
We also found that intranasal mometasone furoate therapy can promote nasal IL-37b expression.
Conclusion.
IL-37b may be involved in Th2 cytokine regulation in AR and its expression was related to the efficacy of intranasal steroid therapy.
