Abstract
Background: Lung cancer is one of the most common human malignant diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between IL1RL1 genetic polymorphisms and lung cancer risk in the Chinese Han population. Methods: We selected and genotyped six SNPs in the IL1RL1 gene using the Agena MassARRAY system in 507 lung cancer patients and 507 healthy controls. The association between IL1RL1 variants and lung cancer risk was assessed using logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to analyze the impact of SNP-SNP interactions on the risk of lung cancer. Results: The results of overall analysis indicated that rs12479210 (T vs. C: OR = 1.42, FDR-p = 0.002; TC vs. CC: OR = 1.70, FDR-p < 0.0001; TT vs. CC: OR = 1.77, FDR-p = 0.032; TT-TC vs. CC: OR = 1.71, FDR-p = 0.001; additive: OR = 1.44, FDR-p = 0.001) and rs1420101 (T vs. C: OR = 1.31, FDR-p = 0.036; TT-TC vs. CC: OR = 1.42, FDR-p = 0.031; additive: OR = 1.30, FDR-p = 0.030) were associated with an increased the risk of lung cancer among the Chinese Han population. Stratified analysis also found the association between these two SNPs and lung cancer risk. However, there were no significant association observed between the other four SNPs (rs3771180, rs3771175, rs10208293, and rs10197862) in IL1RL1 and lung cancer risk. Furthermore, MDR analysis showed that rs12479210 was the best single model with the highest testing accuracy (0.566) and perfect CVC (10/10) for predicting lung cancer risk. The expression level of the IL1RL1 gene is lower in lung cancer tissue than normal tissue, and there are significant differences in the expression levels of IL1RL1 between rs12479210 and rs1420101 genetypes in lung cancer tissue (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that IL1RL1 genetic variants (rs12479210 and rs1420101) are associated with an increased lung cancer risk in the Chinese Han population. These risk variants may serve as biomarkers for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is independently associated with a prolonged hospital stay, increased cost of care, and increased post-operative mortality. Delayed elevation of serum creatinine (SCr) levels requires novel biomarkers to provide a prediction of AKI after cardiac surgery. Our objective was to find a novel blood biomarkers combination to construct a model for predicting AKI after cardiac surgery and risk stratification. Methods: This was a case-control study. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was applied to Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset GSE30718 to seek potential biomarkers associated with AKI. We measured biomarker levels in venous blood samples of 67 patients with AKI after cardiac surgery and 59 control patients in two cohorts. Clinical data were collected. We developed a multi-biomarker model for predicting cardiac-surgery-associated AKI and compared it with a traditional clinical-factor-based model. Results: From bioinformatics analysis and previous articles, we found 6 potential plasma biomarkers for the prediction of AKI. Among them, 3 biomarkers, such as growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2, IL1RL1), and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) were found to have prediction ability for AKI (area under the curve [AUC] > 0.6) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. They were then incorporated into a multi-biomarker model for predicting AKI (C-statistic: 0.84, Brier 0.15) which outperformed the traditional clinical-factor-based model (C-statistic: 0.73, Brier 0.16). Conclusion: Our research validated a promising plasma multi-biomarker model for predicting AKI after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Background: Genome-wide association studies have identified interleukin 33 (IL33), interleukin 1 receptor-like 1 (IL1RL1), interleukin 1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) as asthma susceptibility loci in Europeans. IL33, IL1RL1, and IL1RAP constitute a ligand-receptor complex. Objective: We analyzed associations of asthma susceptibility, eosinophilic airway inflammation, and response to inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 3 genes encoding IL33, IL1RL1, and its coreceptor IL1RAP in Chinese Han nationality children. Methods: A total of 153 non-asthmatic children and 265 asthmatic children who visited the Xiangya Hospital between September 2015 and August 2019 were recruited for this study. Pulmonary function tests, peripheral blood eosinophil counts (PBEC), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) tests were performed before treatment, and 3 months after treatment. Each participant’s DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood, and a Mass ARRAY system was used to genotype the SNPs. Results: The T allele of rs4742170 in IL33 was associated with a risk of higher FeNO at baseline, and no improvement in FeNO and airway hyperresponsiveness was found after ICS treatment. The A allele of rs10208293 and C allele of rs13424006 in IL1RL1 both were associated with lower susceptibility to asthma and lower FeNO. The TT genotype of rs1420101 and AA genotype of rs4142132 in IL1RL1 were associated with a greater probability of improvement in PBEC after ICS treatment. Conclusion: IL33-IL1RL1-IL1RAP complex polymorphisms are associated with childhood asthma susceptibility, eosinophilic airway inflammation, and ICS response in Chinese Han children in Hunan. We speculate that IL33-IL1RL1-IL1RAP complex polymorphisms affect the development of asthma, airway inflammation, and subsequent ICS response in childhood.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is often characterized by broad clinical and biological heterogeneity, as well as recurrent genetic aberrations. Despite remarkable improvements in the treatment outcome in paediatric ALL over the past several decades, it remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children. Cytokines have been extensively studied in haematologic diseases; however, the mechanisms by which cytokines contribute to ALL pathogenesis remain poorly understood. METHODS IL-33 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IL1RL1 expression on ALL cell surface was accessed by flow cytometry. Expression of phosphorylated p38 MAPK, p38, pAKT, AKT and GAPDH were quantified by western blot. Cell survival signals were evaluated by apoptosis using flow cytometry. RESULTS BM samples from ALL patients at diagnosis upregulated their cell surface expression of IL1RL1, and a higher interleukin (IL)-33 level in the serum was observed as compared to the healthy individuals. Moreover, exogenous IL-33 treatment significantly inhibited apoptosis by activating p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and AKT pathway, while the inhibitor for p38 MAPK, SB203580, counteracted IL-33-induced anti-apoptosis via inactivation of p38 MAPK and AKT. Furthermore, IL-33 negatively regulates cyclin B1 protein level while increasing the expression of CDK1, with SB203580 inhibiting the effect. CONCLUSION Our study reveals an important role for IL-33/IL1RL1 axis in supporting ALL which may represent a novel treatment for paediatric patients.KEY MESSAGESBoth IL-33 and IL1RL1 levels are upregulated in primary ALL samples.IL-33 increased both p38 MAPK and AKT activation in ALL.IL-33 promotes survival and cell cycle progression of ALL cells via activating p38 MAPK.

Abstract
AIM To explore the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL33/IL1RL1 gene region with the susceptibility to Behcet's disease (BD) in a Chinese Han population. METHODS A total of eight SNPs in the candidate gene region (rs11792633, rs7025417, rs10975519 and rs1048274 in IL33; rs2310220, rs12712142, rs13424006 and rs3821204 in IL1RL1) were genotyped in783 BD patients and 701 healthy controls by the Sequenom Mass Array iPLEX platform. RESULTS A statistically significant association was observed between IL1RL1 rs12712142 and BD patients. The frequency of IL1RL1 rs12712142 variant allele A was significantly lower in BD patients than that in controls (OR=0.8, 95%CI: 0.69-0.94, Pc=0.039); the genotype distribution (Pc=0.043) and additive and dominant genetic model analyses (OR=0.8, 95%CI: 0.69-0.94, Pc=0.040 and OR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.58-0.88, Pc=0.011) also indicated a strong association between rs12712142 and BD patients. CONCLUSION This is the first study to reveal the association between IL1RL1 rs12712142 variant allele A and the decreased risk of BD in the Chinese Han population, indicating a protective role of IL1RL1 in the pathogenesis of BD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previous studies indicate that the IL-33/ST2 pathway is involved in hepatitis B virus (HBV) -related liver diseases. This study aimed to determine the relationship between genetic variants in IL-33/ST2 pathway with susceptibility to liver cirrhosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 2632 Han Chinese samples met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 840 negative controls (NeC), 691 chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 680 HBV-related liver cirrhosis (LC) and 421 HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (without LC) patients. Four polymorphisms (IL33-rs4742170, rs1048274, rs10975519 and IL1RL1-rs1041973) were selected and genotyping was performed. All statistical analyses were performed by SPSS21.0, mainly using the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test, Pearson chi-square, unconditional Logistic regression and haplotype analysis. RESULTS After adjusting for age, sex, smoking and drinking, significant associations were observed between IL33-rs4742170, rs1048274 and rs10975519 polymorphisms with LC risk. NeC with IL33-rs4742170 CC genotype was 1.80 times more likely to develop LC compared with TT genotype, while NeC with rs10975519(TC + CC) genotype was 1.32 times more likely to develop LC when compared with the TT genotype. CHB cases with rs4742170(CC + TC) genotype had 1.30 times higher susceptibility to develop LC compared with the TT genotype. The IL33-rs1048274G allele occurred more frequently in the LC group compared with the HCC group in codominant model (AG/AA: P = 0.001, OR = 1.66, 95%CI = 1.22-2.25; GG/AA: P = 0.018, OR = 1.54, 95%CI = 1.08-2.20). The IL33 haplotype CG conformed by rs10975519C and rs1048274G was more frequent in the LC group than in the NeC group and CHB group. Moreover, the IL33 haplotype CCG conformed by rs4742170C, rs10975519C and rs1048274G was found to be more frequent in the LC group than the HCC group. However, there was no association between IL1RL1-rs1041973 and LC risk. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate the association between genetic variants in IL33 with susceptibility to liver cirrhosis. IL33-rs4742170C, rs1048274G and rs10975519C could serve as biomarkers of LC.

Abstract
Intermittent fasting and fasting mimetic diets ameliorate inflammation. Similarly, serum extracted from fasted healthy and asthmatic subjects' blunt inflammation in vitro, implicating serum components in this immunomodulation. To identify the proteins orchestrating these effects, SOMAScan technology was employed to evaluate serum protein levels in healthy subjects following an overnight, 24-h fast and 3 h after refeeding. Partial least square discriminant analysis identified several serum proteins as potential candidates to confer feeding status immunomodulation. The characterization of recombinant IGFBP1 (elevated following 24 h of fasting) and PYY (elevated following refeeding) in primary human CD4+ T cells found that they blunted and induced immune activation, respectively. Furthermore, integrated univariate serum protein analysis compared to RNA-seq analysis from peripheral blood mononuclear cells identified the induction of IL1RL1 and MFGE8 levels in refeeding compared to the 24-h fasting in the same study. Subsequent quantitation of these candidate proteins in lean versus obese individuals identified an inverse regulation of serum levels in the fasted subjects compared to the obese subjects. In parallel, IL1RL1 and MFGE8 supplementation promoted increased CD4+ T responsiveness to T cell receptor activation. Together, these data show that caloric load-linked conditions evoke serological protein changes, which in turn confer biological effects on circulating CD4+ T cell immune responsiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have reported that the levels of serum interleukin-33 (IL- 33) and its receptor, suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2), are potential biomarkers for susceptibility of cardiovascular diseases. However, the genetic association of the IL-33/ST2 axis with cardiovascular diseases remains controversial. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the association between common variants in the IL-33/ST2 axis and ischemic stroke in the Han Chinese population. METHODS We consecutively enrolled 1166 patients with ischemic stroke and 1079 age- and gender- matched controls. Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within IL-33/ST2 axis were genotyped using the improved Multiple Ligase Detection Reaction platform. We analyzed the association between the tested SNPs and ischemic stroke at both the genotype and haplotype levels. RESULTS Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that rs10435816 (additive model: odds ratio [OR]=0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54-0.95; recessive model: OR=0.72, 95%CI, 0.56- 0.94) was associated with a decreased risk of ischemic stroke after adjustment of confounding factors. Subgroup analysis indicated that rs10435816 (additive model: OR=0.61, 95%CI, 0.41-0.89; recessive model: OR=0.56, 95%CI, 0.40-0.80), rs7025417 (additive model: OR=0.57, 95%CI, 0.39-0.83), rs11792633 (additive model: OR=0.66, 95%CI, 0.46-0.95; recessive model: OR=0.67, 95%CI, 0.49-0.93), and rs7044343 (additive model: OR=0.69, 95%CI, 0.48-0.97; recessive model: OR=0.67, 95%CI, 0.49-0.91) were associated with a decreased risk of large-artery atherosclerosis stroke after adjustment of confounding factors. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested an association between common variants in the IL-33/ST2 axis and a decreased risk of ischemic stroke in the Han Chinese population.

Abstract
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common auto-inflammatory disease. It is transmitted as autosomal recessive trait with mutations in MEditerranean FeVer (MEFV) gene. Despite a typical clinical expression, many patients have either a single or no mutation in MEFV. The current work is aimed to revisit the genetic landscape of FMF disease using high-coverage whole genome sequencing. In atypical patients (carrying a single or no mutation in MEFV), we revealed many rare variants in genes associated with auto-inflammatory disorders, and more interestingly, we discovered a novel variant ( a 2.1-Kb deletion) in exon 11 of IL1RL1 gene, present only in patients. To validate and screen this patient-specific variant, a tandem of allele-specific PCR and quantitative real-time PCR was performed in 184 FMF patients and 218 healthy controls and we demonstrated that the novel deletion was absent in controls and was present in more than 19% of patients. This study sheds more light on the mutational landscape of FMF. Our discovery of a disease-specific variant in IL1RL1 gene may constitute a novel genetic marker for FMF. This finding suggesting a potential role of the IL33/ST2 signalling in the disease pathogenicity highlights a new paradigm in FMF pathophysiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma is a chronic and complex inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract. Also, multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Against this background, IL-33 and IL1RL1 play a critical role in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Here, we explored the IL-33 serum level and two potential genetic variants in the IL33 gene and its receptor in Iranian asthma and MS patients. METHODS This study consisted of asthma (n=140) and MS patients (n=140), and healthy subjects (n=72). Genotyping was carried out in two genetic polymorphisms, rs1342326 variant of IL-33 and rs10204137SNP variant of IL-33 receptor genes, using High- Resolution Melt Real- Time PCR based method. The level of serum IL-33 was also measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. RESULTS The level of IL33 was significantly higher in asthma and MS patients compared to the control group (P< 0.001- P<0.001).The frequency distribution of the genotype in rs1342326 variant of IL-33 gene in patients with asthma, MS and healthy subjects was not significantly different (P>0.05). The frequency distribution of the genotype in rs10204137 variant of IL-33 gene in MS patients and healthy subjects was significantly different (p = 0.013). CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated that asthma and MS patients had a higher level of IL-33, and IL-33 receptor genetic polymorphism was associated with MS. Further studies in a larger multicenter setting are needed to explore the value of this marker as a risk stratification biomarker.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is often characterized by the presence of specific and recurrent chromosomal abnormalities. Current treatments have greatly increased remission rate, but relapse still occurs. Therefore, novel therapeutic approaches are required. Previously, using a conditional Cbfb-MYH11 knockin mouse model, we showed that Cbfb-MYH11 induces the expression of a cytokine receptor, IL1RL1. Treatment with IL-33, the only known ligand of IL1RL1, promotes leukemia cell survival in vitro. We further found that IL1RL1+ cells survive better with chemotherapy than IL1RL1- population. However, the mechanism is not clear. Here, we show that IL-33 treatment decreased drug sensitivity in the human inv(16) AML cell line ME-1. By RT-PCR, we found that IL-33 increased the expression of IL-4 and IL-6 and led to the activation of both p38 MAPK and NF-κB. We also showed that IL-33 decreased apoptosis with increased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. Moreover, pre-treatment with MAPK inhibitor attenuated the phosphorylation of p38 enhanced by IL-33 and reversed the anti-apoptotic effect by IL-33. Taken together, our findings give news insights into the potential mechanism of the anti-apoptotic effect by IL-33/IL1RL1 axis in AML which will help in future drug development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Survival rate of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients is not improving. To understand more complete biology of LSCC, studies focused on identification of new specific and prognostic markers are performed. The aim of current study was to evaluate the impact of five different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) (IL6 rs1800795, BLK rs13277113, TIMP3 rs9621532, IL1RL1 rs1041973 and IL1RAP rs4624606) on LSCC development. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 891 subjects (353 histologically verified LSCC patients and 538 healthy controls) were involved in this study. The genotyping was carried out using the real-time-PCR. RESULTS Statistical analysis revealed statistically significant associations between TIMP3 rs96215332 variants and LSCC in the codominant (OR = 0.600; 95% CI: 0.390-0.922; p = 0.020), overdominant (OR = 0.599; 95% CI: 0.390-0.922; p = 0.020) and additive (OR = 0.675; 95% CI: 0.459-0.991; p = 0.045) models. Also, significant variants of IL1RAP rs4624606 were determined in the codominant (OR = 1.372; 95% CI: 1.031-1.827; p = 0.030), overdominant (OR = 1.353; 95% CI: 1.018-1.798; p = 0.037) and additive (OR = 1.337; 95% CI: 1.038-1.724; p = 0.025) models. CONCLUSION Results of the current study indicate significant associations between TIMP3 rs9621532 and IL1RAP rs4624606 gene polymorphisms and LSCC development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obesity is attributable to high free fatty acids, ER stress, oxidative stress and inflammation. The expression of IL-33, IL-1RL1 and IL-1RAP gene was observed in human visceral white fats, pre-adipocytes and adipocytes. The aim of this study was to determine whether IL1RAP and IL1RL1 gene variants were associated with obesity and inflammation mediators. METHODS 3 SNPs of IL1RAP (rs9990107, rs3836449 and rs9290936) and 11 SNPs of IL1RL1 (rs3771180, rs13431828, rs3214363, rs1420101, rs12905, rs3771175, rs3821204, rs12712142, rs10204137, rs4988958, and rs10206753) were genotyped for 175 obesity (BMI ≥ 25) and 358 non-obesity (BMI < 25.0) subjects. The genotype of SNPs was determined by the Axiom Genome-Wide Human Assay. RESULTS The allele and genotype frequencies of 2 SNPs in the IL1RAP gene (rs9990107 and rs3836449) and 11 SNPs in the IL1RL1 gene (rs3771180, rs13431828, rs3214363, rs1420101, rs12905, rs3771175, rs3821204, rs12712142, rs10204137, rs4988958 and rs10206753) were significantly associated between the obesity and non-obesity groups. The two haplotypes (GCTTATGAATT and TT-CGACCGCC) in block1 were associated with obesity. In the non-obesity group, genotype frequencies of rs3771180, rs13431828, rs3214363, rs10204137, rs4988958 and rs10206753 SNPs of IL1RL1 showed significant differences in the dominant models in lymphatic cell percentage. The genotype frequencies of rs1420101, rs21905, rs3821024 and rs12712142 SNPs of IL1RL1 showed significant differences in the dominant models in eosinophil percentage. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that IL1RAP and IL1RL1 gene polymorphisms may be associated with obesity and inflammation mediators.

Abstract
Objective IL‐1 receptor‐like 1 (IL1RL1) and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) play important roles in asthma in various ways. IL1RL1 rs3771180 and TSLP rs1837253 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with asthma in some European nationals but not in Zhuang people. Accordingly, this study aimed to determine the associations of IL1RL1 rs3771180 and TSLP rs1837253 with asthma in Zhuang people. Methods We performed a case‐control study to observe the association between the two polymorphisms and asthma in a Guangxi Zhuang cohort consisting of 123 asthmatic patients and 100 healthy controls. These individuals were recruited from the Department of Respiration of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. Multiplex PCR assay was used to identify the genotype of rs3771180 and rs1837253. Data were analyzed with SPSS 22.0 and SHEsis. Results rs1837253 showed significant differences between asthmatic and control groups in allele comparison (OR = 2.15; 95% CI = 1.27‐3.63; P = 0.004), as well as in the homozygote (OR = 4.83; 95% CI = 1.47‐16.47; P = 0.012), heterozygote (OR = 2.69; 95% CI = 1.20‐6.00; P = 0.016), and dominant (OR = 3.01; 95% CI = 1.39‐6.52; P = 0.005) genetic models. However, the genotype frequencies of rs3771180 did not obviously differ. Conclusion rs1837253 is associated with asthma susceptibility and may increase the risk of asthma in Zhuang people in Guangxi.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Talaromyces marneffei (TM) is an emerging pathogenic fungus that can cause a fatal systemic mycosis in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although global awareness regarding HIV/TM coinfection is increasing little is known about the mechanism that mediates the rapid progression to HIV/AIDS disease in coinfected individuals. The aim of this study was to analyze the serum proteome of HIV/TM coinfected patients and to identify the associated protein biomarkers for TM in patients with HIV/AIDS. METHODS We systematically used multiplexed isobaric tandem mass tag labeling combined with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to screen for differentially expressed proteins in the serum samples from HIV/TM-coinfected patients. RESULTS Of a total data set that included 1099 identified proteins, approximately 86% of the identified proteins were quantified. Among them, 123 proteins were at least 1.5-fold up-or downregulated in the serum between HIV/TM-coinfected and HIV-mono-infected patients. Furthermore, our results indicate that two selected proteins (IL1RL1 and THBS1) are potential biomarkers for distinguishing HIV/TM-coinfected patients. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report to provide a global proteomic profile of serum samples from HIV/TM-coinfected patients. Our data provide insights into the proteins that are involved as host response factors during infection. These data shed new light on the molecular mechanisms that are dysregulated and contribute to the pathogenesis of HIV/TM coinfection. IL1RL1 and THBS1 are promising diagnostic markers for HIV/TM-coinfected patients although further large-scale studies are needed. Thus, quantitative proteomic analysis revealed molecular differences between the HIV/TM-coinfected and HIV-mono-infected individuals, and might provide fundamental information for further detailed investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IL1RL1 (ST2) is involved in Th2 inflammation including eosinophil activation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL1RL1 gene are associated with asthma development and increased peripheral blood eosinophil counts. However, the association between IL1RL1 SNPs and eosinophilic phenotype among adults with asthma remains unexplored. METHODS In a primary cohort of 110 adult Japanese patients with stable asthma, we examined the associations between IL1RL1 SNPs and clinical measurements including forced expiratory volume (FEV1), airway reversibility of FEV1, exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), serum soluble-ST2 (sST2) levels, peripheral blood eosinophil differentials and serum total IgE level. The findings in the primary cohort were confirmed in a validation cohort of 126 adult Japanese patients with stable asthma. RESULTS Patients with minor alleles in 3 SNPs (rs17026974, rs1420101, and rs1921622) had high FeNO, blood eosinophil differentials, and reversibility of FEV1, but low levels of serum sST2 and FEV1. Minor alleles of rs1041973 were associated with low serum sST2 levels alone. In the validation cohort, minor alleles of rs1420101 were associated with high FeNO and blood eosinophil differentials, whereas minor alleles of rs17026974 and rs1921622 were associated with high blood eosinophil differentials and FeNO, respectively. Multivariate analyses revealed that the minor allele of rs1420101 additively contributed to the FeNO, blood eosinophil differentials, and reversibility of FEV1. CONCLUSIONS The minor alleles of IL1RL1 SNPs were associated with high FeNO and peripheral blood eosinophilia among adult Japanese patients with stable asthma. IL1RL1 SNPs may characterize the eosinophilic phenotype with greater eosinophilic inflammation in the Japanese asthma cohort.

Abstract
Acute basophilic leukaemia (ABL) is a rare subtype of acute myeloblastic leukaemia. We previously described a recurrent t(X;6)(p11;q23) translocation generating an MYB-GATA1 fusion gene in male infants with ABL. To better understand its role, the chimeric MYB-GATA1 transcription factor was expressed in CD34-positive haematopoietic progenitors, which were transplanted into immunodeficient mice. Cells expressing MYB-GATA1 showed increased expression of markers of immaturity (CD34), of granulocytic lineage (CD33 and CD117), and of basophilic differentiation (CD203c and FcϵRI). UT-7 cells also showed basophilic differentiation after MYB-GATA1 transfection. A transcriptomic study identified nine genes deregulated by both MYB-GATA1 and basophilic differentiation. Induction of three of these genes (CCL23, IL1RL1, and NTRK1) was confirmed in MYB-GATA1-expressing CD34-positive cells by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Interleukin (IL)-33 and nerve growth factor (NGF), the ligands of IL-1 receptor-like 1 (IL1RL1) and neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1 (NTRK1), respectively, enhanced the basophilic differentiation of MYB-GATA1-expressing UT-7 cells, thus demonstrating the importance of this pathway in the basophilic differentiation of leukaemic cells and CD34-positive primary cells. Finally, gene reporter assays confirmed that MYB and MYB-GATA1 directly activated NTRK1 and IL1RL1 transcription, leading to basophilic skewing of the blasts. MYB-GATA1 is more efficient than MYB, because of better stability. Our results highlight the role of IL-33 and NGF receptors in the basophilic differentiation of normal and leukaemic cells.

Abstract
Il1rl1 (also known as ST2) is a member of the IL-1 superfamily, and its only known ligand is IL-33. ST2 exists in two forms as splice variants: a soluble form (sST2), which acts as a decoy receptor, sequesters free IL-33, and does not signal, and a membrane-bound form (ST2), which activates the MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to enhance mast cell, Th2, regulatory T cell (Treg), and innate lymphoid cell type 2 functions. sST2 levels are increased in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease, acute cardiac and small bowel transplant allograft rejection, colon and gastric cancers, gut mucosal damage during viral infection, pulmonary disease, heart disease, and graft-versus-host disease. Recently, sST2 has been shown to be secreted by intestinal pro-inflammatory T cells during gut inflammation; on the contrary, protective ST2-expressing Tregs are decreased, implicating that ST2/IL-33 signaling may play an important role in intestinal disease. This review will focus on what is known on its signaling during various inflammatory disease states and highlight potential avenues to intervene in ST2/IL-33 signaling as treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe asthma remains poorly characterized, although it likely consists of at least 1 phenotype with features of TH2-like inflammation. IL1RL1, encoding both the IL-33 receptor, ST2L, and decoy receptor, sST2, has been genetically associated with asthma, though the mechanism for susceptibility remains unknown. OBJECTIVE Given previous data supporting a role for IL1RL1 in TH2 inflammation, we hypothesized that ST2L expression might be increased in TH2-like asthma and that expression levels would be associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms in IL1RL1, possibly explaining its genetic relationship with asthma. We also sought to evaluate the regulation of ST2L and sST2 in vitro. METHODS Endobronchial brushings and biopsies were obtained and expression of ST2L compared by severity levels, as well as by TH2-like biomarkers. Subjects were genotyped and the relationship of dichotomous expression of ST2L and sST2 to single nucleotide polymorphisms in IL1RL1 were determined. Epithelial cells were grown in air-liquid interface culture, and ST2L and sST2 responses to IFN-γ and IL-13 were evaluated. RESULTS ST2L expression was increased in severe asthma (P = .02) and associated with multiple indicators of TH2-like inflammation, including blood eosinophils (P = .001), exhaled nitric oxide (P = .003), and epithelial CLCA1 (P < .0001) and eotaxin-3 (P = .001) mRNA expression. Multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms in IL1RL1 were found in relation to dichotomous expression of both ST2L and sST2. sST2 expression was associated with IFN-γ expression in bronchoalveolar lavage, while inducing its expression in vitro in primary human epithelial cells. CONCLUSION Both pathologic and genetic approaches support a role for IL1RL1 in severe asthma, as well as TH2-lke asthma, suggesting that targeting this pathway may have therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies identified IL33 and IL-1 receptor-like 1 (IL1RL1)/IL18R1 as asthma susceptibility loci. IL33 and IL1RL1 constitute a single ligand-receptor pathway. OBJECTIVE In 2 birth cohorts, the Prevalence and Incidence of Asthma and Mite Allergy (PIAMA) study and Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), we analyzed associations of longitudinal wheezing phenotypes and asthma with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 8 genes encoding IL-33, IL1RL1, its coreceptor IL1RAcP, its adaptors myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) and Toll-IL-11 receptor domain containing adaptor protein (TIRAP), and the downstream IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1, IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4, and TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6). Furthermore, we investigated whether SNPs in this pathway show replicable evidence of gene-gene interaction. METHODS Ninety-four SNPs were investigated in 2007 children in the PIAMA study and 7247 children in ALSPAC. Associations with wheezing phenotypes and asthma at 8 years of age were analyzed in each cohort and subsequently meta-analyzed. Gene-gene interactions were assessed through model-based multifactor dimensionality reduction in the PIAMA study, and gene-gene interactions of 10 SNP pairs were further evaluated. RESULTS Intermediate-onset wheeze was associated with SNPs in several genes in the IL33-IL1RL1 pathway after applying multiple testing correction in the meta-analysis: 2 IL33 SNPs (rs4742170 and rs7037276), 1 IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) SNP (rs10513854), and 1 TRAF6 SNP (rs5030411). Late-onset wheeze was associated with 2 IL1RL1 SNPs (rs10208293 and rs13424006), and persistent wheeze was associated with 1 IL33 SNP (rs1342326) and 1 IL1RAP SNP (rs9290936). IL33 and IL1RL1 SNPs were nominally associated with asthma. Three SNP pairs showed interaction for asthma in the PIAMA study but not in ALSPAC. CONCLUSIONS IL33-IL1RL1 pathway polymorphisms are associated with asthma and specific wheezing phenotypes; that is, most SNPs are associated with intermediate-onset wheeze, a phenotype closely associated with sensitization. We speculate that IL33-IL1RL1 pathway polymorphisms affect development of wheeze and subsequent asthma through sensitization in early childhood.

Abstract
Interleukin 1 receptor-like 1 (IL1RL1) is gaining in recognition due to its involvement in immune/inflammatory disorders. Well-designed animal studies have shown its critical role in experimental allergic inflammation and human in vitro studies have consistently demonstrated its up-regulation in several conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. The ligand for IL1RL1 is IL33 which emerged as playing an important role in initiating eosinophilic inflammation and activating other immune cells resulting in an allergic phenotype.An IL1RL1 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was among the most significant results of a genome-wide scan investigating eosinophil counts; in the same study, this SNP associated with asthma in 10 populations.The IL1RL1 gene resides in a region of high linkage disequilibrium containing interleukin 1 receptor genes as well as interleukin 18 receptor and accessory genes. This poses a challenge to researchers interested in deciphering genetic association signals in the region as all of the genes represent interesting candidates for asthma and allergic disease.The IL1RL1 gene and its resulting soluble and receptor proteins have emerged as key regulators of the inflammatory process implicated in a large variety of human pathologies We review the function and expression of the IL1RL1 gene. We also describe the role of IL1RL1 in asthma, allergy, cardiovascular disease, infections, liver disease and kidney disease.
