Interleukin 32 alpha (IL-32 a) is one of six known splice variants of the IL-32 gene. IL-32 a induces the macrophage production of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), and macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2). IL-32 a expression is increased after the activation of T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and interferon gamma-treated epithelial cells.
