Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to investigate the role of IL-36 cytokines in sepsis. We found that the concentration of IL-36gamma elevated in the patients with sepsis,and IL-36Ra packed in extracellular vesicles was released from neutrophils. IL-36gamma enhanced inflammation in inflammatory cells and coagulation and cell injury in endothelial cells. Whereas, IL-36Ra inhibited IL-36gamma induced inflammation, coagulation and cell injury.Indicating that IL-36 cytokines deeply involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Finally, we confirmed that IL-36Ra is a potential therapeutic candidate for sepsis using a sepsis mouse model.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究はIL-36Raが好中球より産生され、特に細胞外小胞体に包埋される細胞外に分泌されていることを明らかにした。細胞外小胞体は細胞間コミュニケーションを円滑に行うためのツールであるが、感染症による誘導されるIL-36gammaを抑制すために生体内で重要な働きを行っていることを示している。
また、細胞、動物実験を通してIL-36Raが敗血症における治療補薬剤のひとつになる可能性も示した。
