Albumin-binding recombinant human IL-18BP ameliorates macrophage activation syndrome and atopic dermatitis via direct IL-18 inactivation
Abstract Given the clinical success of cytokine blockade in managing diverse inflammatory human conditions, this approach could be exploited for numerous refractory or uncontrolled inflammatory conditions by identifying novel targets for functional blockade. IL-18, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is relatively underestimated as a therapeutic target, despite accumulated evidence indicating the unique roles of IL-18 in acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, such as macrophage activation syndrome. Herein, we designed a new form of IL-18 blockade, i.e., APB-R3, a long-acting recombinant human IL-18BP linked to human albumin-binding Fab fragment, SL335, for extending half-life. We then explored the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of APB-R3. In addition to an extended serum half-life, APB-R3 alleviates liver inflammation and splenomegaly in a model of the macrophage activation syndrome induced in IL-18BP knockout mice. Moreover, APB-R3 substantially controlled skin inflammation in a model of atopic dermatitis. Thus, we report APB-R3 as a new potent IL-18 blocking agent that could be applied to treat IL-18-mediated inflammatory diseases..
