Abstract
Objectives Interleukin (IL)‐37 is a natural suppressor of innate inflammation. This study was conducted to explore the anti‐inflammatory effects of IL‐37 in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) inflammation. Materials and Methods The expression of IL‐37 in the TMJ was measured using ELISA and IHC. Human TMJ chondrocytes were treated with IL‐37b and IL‐1β, and inflammation‐related factors were detected. siRNA‐IL‐1R8 was transfected into chondrocytes, and the affected pathways were detected. IL‐37b was used in disc‐perforation‐induced TMJ inflammation in SD rats. Micro‐CT, IHC, real‐time PCR and histological staining were used to quantify the therapeutic effect of IL‐37b. Results IL‐37 was expressed in the synovium and the disc of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and in the articular cartilage of condylar fracture patients. IL‐37 was highly expressed in synovial fluid of patients with synovitis than in those with OA and disc displacement and was closely related to visual analogue scale (VAS) score. In vitro, IL‐37b suppressed the expression of pro‐inflammatory factors. In addition, IL‐37b exerted anti‐inflammatory effects via IL‐1R8 by inhibiting the p38, ERK, JNK and NF‐κB activation, while silencing IL‐1R8 led to inflammation and upregulation of these signals. In disc‐perforation‐induced TMJ inflammation in SD rats, IL‐37b suppressed inflammation and inhibited osteoclast formation to protect against TMJ. Conclusions IL‐37b may be a novel therapeutic agent for TMJ inflammation.

Effects of Er,Cr:YSGG and Diode Lasers on Clinical Parameters and Gingival Crevicular Fluid IL-1 β and IL-37 Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis. Mediators Inflamm 2019; 2019:2780794. [PMID: 31308830 PMCID: PMC6594306 DOI: 10.1155/2019/2780794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2019] [Revised: 03/26/2019] [Accepted: 05/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim The objective of the current study is to analyze the correlation between cytokine levels and periodontal parameters in aggressive periodontitis patients before and after periodontal treatment that was performed by using two different laser therapies. Materials and Methods Twenty-six generalized aggressive periodontitis patients were treated with three different methods (SRP, SRP+diode laser, and SRP+Er,Cr:YSGG laser) applied to three different half-jaws in the same patients. Pre- and posttreatment clinical periodontal parameters and GCF IL-1β and IL-37 levels were measured. Results There was a statistically significant decrease (p < 0.05) between pretreatment and posttreatment clinical periodontal parameters and IL-1β and IL-37 levels. When the reduction rates of IL-37 and IL-1β levels after treatment were evaluated, the decrease in IL-37 and IL-1β levels after treatment was lowest in the SRP group and highest in the SRP+Er,Cr:YSGG group. In addition, the amount of decrease in IL-1β in SRP+diode and SRP+Er,Cr:YSGG groups was found to be higher than that in IL-37. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between IL-37 and IL-1β in all groups (p < 0.01). Conclusion Er,Cr:YSGG laser is more effective than diode laser for the treatment of aggressive periodontitis. IL-37 and IL-1β are cytokines that function together and thus must be evaluated together.

Abstract
The IL-1 family member IL-37 broadly suppresses innate inflammation and acquired immunity. Similar to IL-1α and IL-33, IL-37 is a dual-function cytokine in that IL-37 translocates to the nucleus but also transmits a signal via surface membrane receptors. The role of nuclear IL-37 remains unknown on the ability of this cytokine to inhibit innate inflammation. Here, we compared suppression of innate inflammation in transgenic mice expressing native human IL-37 (IL-37Tg) with those of transgenic mice carrying the mutation of aspartic acid (D) to alanine (A) at amino acid 20 (IL-37D20ATg). The mutation D20A prevents cleavage of caspase-1, a step required for IL-37 nuclear translocation. In vitro, peritoneal macrophages from IL-37Tg mice reduced LPS-induced IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα and IFNγ by 40-50% whereas in macrophages from IL-37D20ATg mice this suppression was not observed, consistent with loss of nuclear function. Compared with macrophages from IL-37Tg mice, significantly less or no suppression of LPS-induced MAP kinase and NFκB activation was also observed in macrophages from IL-37D20ATg mice. In vivo, levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα in the lungs and liver were markedly reduced during endotoxemia in IL-37Tg mice but not observed in IL-37D20ATg mice. However, suppression of innate inflammation remains intact in the IL-37D20A mice once the cytokine is released from the cell and binds to its receptor. These studies reveal a nuclear function for suppression of innate inflammation and are consistent with the dual function of IL-37 and a role for caspase-1 in limiting inflammation.
