Abstract

Human ST2 cDNA, a homologue of murine ST2 that is only expressed in growth-stimulated BALB/c-3T3 cells and a member of the primary response gene family induced by growth factors, was isolated from the cDNA library of an activated human helper T cell line, 5C10. Human ST2 has 67.6% identity in a 327 amino acid overlap to murine ST2. Furthermore, as in the case of murine ST2, human ST2 encodes a protein remarkably similar in sequence to the extracellular portion of human interleukin 1 receptor, both types 1 and 2. The expression of ST2 in human lymphocytes could trigger further investigations into its physiological role in humans.

      Mature IL-33 protein lacking the N-terminal domain acts as an IL-1-like cytokine through its C-terminal IL-1-like cytokine domain. ST2, an IL-33 receptor encoded by the IL1RL1 gene, is a member of the IL-1 receptor family that was originally identified as a responsive gene in serum- or oncogene-stimulated mouse fibroblasts [34,35]. At least four ST2 isoforms are produced from the IL1RL1 gene via alternative splicing: ST2L, sST2, ST2V and ST2LV.

      More details are reported in Section 2.1.1 in this review. The soluble form of ST2 is identical to the extracellular region of the long ST2 isoform except for five additional amino acids, which are present at the C-terminus of the molecule [33]. Soluble ST2 is composed of 328 amino acids (UniProt, https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q01638, last access 04/16/2019).

      Undoubtedly, their early predictions are beneficial to clinical treatment for TBI patients. ST2 is identified as the receptor of interleukin-33 and belongs to the interleukin-1 receptor family [41–48]. ST2 combined with interleukin-33 activates inflammatory reaction and is subsequently implicated in pathophysiological process underlying some inflammatory diseases, such as trauma, acute myocardial infarction and acute pancreatitis [49–52].
