IL-1 family member IL-37 reduces innate inflammation and acquired immune responses. Our published studies demonstrated that over expression of IL-37 in either primary or transfected cell line cultures suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by Toll-like receptor ligands, IL-1b or TNFa. Inhibition of endogenous IL-37 in human monocytes increases IL-1b production. Similar to IL-1 family member IL-1a and IL-33, IL-37 migrates to the nucleus where it affects transcription. Therefore, it remains unclear if IL-37 functions to inhibit innate responses by an intracellular or extracellular mechanism. In the present study, we examined the function of recombinant IL-37 proteins. Recombinant IL-37, either the precursor or mature forms, binds to the alpha chain of the IL-18 receptor, but nevertheless inhibits LPS-induced cytokines. Whereas recombinant IL-37 reduces LPS-induced cytokines in PBMC, IL-37 is particularly effective in reducing (60–70%) LPS-induced cytokines in human monocyte-derived M1 and dendritic cells (DC) and consistently at low picomolar concentrations. In contrast, micromolar or high nanomolar concentrations do not inhibit LPS induced cytokines; hence, IL-37 does not function as an IL-18 receptor antagonist. LPS induced MAPK kinases such as phospho-p38 and ERK are down-regulated by recombinant IL-37. In M1 macrophages, exposure to IL-37 increases mRNA levels of SIGIRR, and down-regulates gene expression of cytokines such as TNF-a. Low picomolar concentrations of IL-37 also reduce LPS-induced cytokines (70–80%) in mouse bone marrow-derived DC, but significantly less reduction in DC derived from SIGIRR deficient mice. Intraperitoneal injection of recombinant IL-37 also reduces circulating and cytokine production in LPS injected mice. This study reveals that in addition to a nuclear function, picomolar concentrations of recombinant IL-37 are active as an extracellular cytokine by first binding to the IL-18 receptor. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory effects of recombinant IL-37 reduce MAPK activity and require the presence of SIGIRR.
