Target Information

Interleukin-32 (IL-32) was initially identified as a transcript (NK4) selectively expressed in lymphocytes and NK cells, with expression increased following activation by IL-2. It was later re-isolated from an IL-18-treated lung carcinoma cell line and renamed IL-32.
IL-32 does not share sequence homology with known cytokine families and is highly expressed in immune tissues, existing in at least four differentially spliced isoforms.
Treatment of human monocytic and mouse macrophage cells with IL-32 induces several proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-8, and MIP-2. It is also induced in human peripheral lymphocyte cells after mitogen stimulation and in epithelial cells by IFN-γ.
These findings suggest IL-32 may play a role in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
