RESUMEN
Interleukin-1 is a prototypic proinflammatory cytokine that is elevated in cytokine storm syndromes (CSSs), such as secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). IL-1 has many pleotropic and redundant roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Blockade of IL-1 with recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist has shown efficacy in treating CSS. Recently, an IL-1 family member, IL-18, has been demonstrated to be contributory to CSS in autoinflammatory conditions, such as in inflammasomopathies (e.g., NLRC4 mutations). Anecdotally, recombinant IL-18 binding protein can be of benefit in treating IL-18-driven CSS. Lastly, another IL-1 family member, IL-33, has been postulated to contribute to CSS in an animal model of disease. Targeting of IL-1 and related cytokines holds promise in treating a variety of CSS.

Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that significantly impacts the patients' quality of life. Recent studies highlighted the function of the interleukin (IL)-1 family member IL-38 in skin homeostasis and suggested an anti-inflammatory role for this cytokine in psoriasis. In this study, we generated mice specifically overexpressing the IL-38 protein in epidermal keratinocytes. We confirmed IL-38 overexpression in the skin by Western blotting. We further detected the protein by ELISA in the plasma, as well as in conditioned media of skin explants isolated from IL-38 overexpressing mice, indicating that IL-38 produced in the epidermis is released from keratinocytes and can be found in the circulation. Unexpectedly, epidermal IL-38 overexpression did not impact the global severity of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced skin inflammation, Similarly, keratinocyte activation and differentiation in IMQ-treated skin were not affected by increased IL-38 expression and there was no global effect on local or systemic inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, we observed a selective inhibition of CXCL1 and IL-6 production in response to IMQ in IL-38 overexpressing skin, as well as reduced Ly6g mRNA levels, suggesting decreased neutrophil infiltration. Epidermal IL-38 overexpression also selectively affected the desquamation process during IMQ-induced psoriasis, as illustrated by reduced plaque formation. Taken together, our results validate the generation of a new mouse line allowing for tissue-specific IL-38 overexpression. Interestingly, epidermal IL-38 overexpression selectively affected specific disease-associated readouts during IMQ-induced psoriasis, suggesting a more complex role of IL-38 in the inflamed skin than previously recognized. In particular, our data highlight a potential involvement of IL-38 in the regulation of skin desquamation.

Pancreatic cancer is a very aggressive disease with a dismal prognosis. The tumor microenvironment exerts immunosuppressive activities through the secretion of several cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1. The IL-1/IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) axis is a key regulator in tumor-promoting T helper (Th)2- and Th17-type inflammation. Th2 cells are differentiated by dendritic cells endowed with Th2-polarizing capability by the thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) that is secreted by IL-1-activated cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Th17 cells are differentiated in the presence of IL-1 and other IL-1-regulated cytokines. In pancreatic cancer, the use of a recombinant IL-1R antagonist (IL1RA, anakinra, ANK) in in vitro and in vivo models has shown efficacy in targeting the IL-1/IL-1R pathway. In this study, we have developed sphingomyelin nanosystems (SNs) loaded with ANK (ANK-SNs) to compare their ability to inhibit Th2- and Th17-type inflammation with that of the free drug in vitro. We found that ANK-SNs inhibited TSLP and other pro-tumor cytokines released by CAFs at levels similar to ANK. Importantly, inhibition of IL-17 secretion by Th17 cells, but not of interferon-γ, was significantly higher, and at lower concentrations, with ANK-SNs compared to ANK. Collectively, the use of ANK-SNs might be beneficial in reducing the effective dose of the drug and its toxic effects.

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), commonly known as cytokine storm, is an acute systemic inflammatory response that is a significant global health threat. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) are key pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in CRS and are hence critical therapeutic targets. Current antagonists, such as tocilizumab and anakinra, target IL-6R/IL-1R but have limitations due to their long half-life and systemic anti-inflammatory effects, making them less suitable for acute or localized treatments. Here we present the de novo design of small protein antagonists that prevent IL-1 and IL-6 from interacting with their receptors to activate signaling. The designed proteins bind to the IL-6R, GP130 (an IL-6 co-receptor), and IL-1R1 receptor subunits with binding affinities in the picomolar to low-nanomolar range. X-ray crystallography studies reveal that the structures of these antagonists closely match their computational design models. In a human cardiac organoid disease model, the IL-1R antagonists demonstrated protective effects against inflammation and cardiac damage induced by IL-1ß. These minibinders show promise for administration via subcutaneous injection or intranasal/inhaled routes to mitigate acute cytokine storm effects.

Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are prevalent inflammatory skin conditions that significantly impact the quality of life of patients, with diverse treatment options available. Despite advances in understanding their underlying mechanisms, recent research highlights the significance of interleukins IL-18 and IL-37, in Th1, Th2, and Th17 inflammatory responses, closely associated with the pathogenesis of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Hence, IL-18 and IL-37 could potentially become therapeutic targets. This narrative review synthesizes knowledge on these interleukins, their roles in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, and emerging treatment strategies. Findings of a literature search up to 30 May 2024, underscore a research gap in IL-37-targeted therapies. Conversely, IL-18-focused treatments have demonstrated promise in adult-onset Still's Disease, warranting further exploration for their potential efficacy in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

Objectives: To explore the clinical significance of interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 in the development of lateralized temporal epilepsy. METHODS: The prospective study was conducted from January to April of 2022 at the Neurology Department of Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul Medeniyet University, Turkey, and comprised patients with lateralized temporal epilepsy aged 18-86 years who were in the interictal period in group A and healthy controls in group B. The levels of interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 of patients in both groups were compared. Data was analysed using SPSS 25. RESULTS: Of the 92 subjects, 60(65.2%) were in group A; 35(58.3%) were males and 25(41.7%) were females with a median age of 37.5 years (interquartile range: 2.2-42.7 years). There were 32(34.8%) subjects in group B; 19(40.6%) females and 13(40.6%) males with a median age of 40.5 years (interquartile range: 25-50 years) (p>0.05). Within group A, 41(68.3%) patients had left-sided epilepsy and 19(31.7%) had right-sided epilepsy (p<0.001). Both interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 levels were lower in group A than in group B (p<0.001). Both interleukin levels did not significantly differ between right and leftlateralised temporal seizures (p=0.44). In the left-lateralized temporal seizures, interleukin-1 levels correlated with epilepsy duration (p<0.006), lower onset age (p<0.050), and presence of prenatal risk (p<0.028). Interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 levels were positively correlated with each other for lateralized temporal epileptic hemispheres (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Interleukin-1 level was correlated with epilepsy duration, lower onset age, and presence of prenatal risk in the left-lateralized temporal epilepsy.

Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) are orphan hereditary auto-inflammatory diseases with various phenotypes, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Current therapies inhibit interleukin-1 (IL-1) to achieve clinical and serological remission; however, the effect on kidney involvement remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the long-term efficacy of anti-IL-1 treatment with special emphasis on renal outcome. We retrospectively analysed clinical, genetic and laboratory data of patients with CAPS under anti-IL-1 therapy from a single-centre university outpatient clinic. Patients with CAPS (n = 28) were followed for a median of 11 (IQR 8.5-13) years. Four patients at various ages (19%), bearing the most common CAPS mutation R260W, had significant CKD at presentation. All affected patients were related; however, other family members with the same genetic variant did not develop CKD. While anti-IL-1 therapy was effective in lowering symptom burden and inflammatory parameters in all CAPS patients, two of the four individuals with significant CKD had persistent proteinuria and worsening kidney function. None of the patients without renal affection at therapy initiation developed relevant CKD in the follow-up period. We showed that in patients with CAPS: (1) CKD is a common complication; (2) renal involvement shows familial predisposition beyond the mutational status and is independent of age; (3) anti-IL-1 therapy results in sustained improvement of inflammatory parameters and symptom load and (4) may prevent development of CAPS-associated CKD but not affect kidney involvement when already present. Overall, early therapy initiation might sufficiently prevent renal disease manifestation and attenuate progression.

Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare inflammatory skin disease with a poorly understood pathogenesis. Through a molecularly driven precision medicine approach and an extensive mechanistic pathway analysis in PRP skin samples, compared to psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, healed PRP, and healthy controls, we identified IL-1ß as a key mediator, orchestrating an NF-κB-mediated IL-1ß-CCL20 axis, including activation of CARD14 and NOD2. Treatment of three patients with the IL-1 antagonists anakinra and canakinumab resulted in rapid clinical improvement and reversal of the PRP-associated molecular signature with a 50% improvement in skin lesions after 2 to 3 weeks. This transcriptional signature was consistent with in vitro stimulation of keratinocytes with IL-1ß. With the central role of IL-1ß underscoring its potential as a therapeutic target, our findings propose a redefinition of PRP as an autoinflammatory keratinization disorder. Further clinical trials are needed to validate the efficacy of IL-1ß antagonists in PRP.

BACKGROUND: Airway epithelial barrier dysfunction has been proved to contribute to the development of type 2 inflammation of asthma. Interleukin (IL)-37 is a negative regulator of immune responses and allergic airway inflammation. However, whether IL-37 has any effect on airway epithelial barrier has been unknown. METHODS: We evaluated the role of IL-37 in both mouse model and cultured 16HBE cells. Histology and ELISA assays were used to evaluate airway inflammation. FITC-dextran permeability assay was used to evaluate the airway epithelial barrier function. Immunofluorescence, western blot and quantitative Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) were used to evaluate the distribution and expression of tight junction proteins. RT-PCR and Ca2+ fluorescence measurement were used to evaluate the mRNA expression and activity of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). RESULTS: IL-37 inhibited house dust mite (HDM)-induced airway inflammation and decreased the levels of IgE in serum and type 2 cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) compared to asthmatic mice. IL-37 protected against HDM-induced airway epithelial barrier dysfunction, including reduced leakage of FITC-dextran, enhanced expression of TJ proteins, and restored the membrane distribution of TJ proteins. Moreover, IL-37 decreased the level of IL-33 in the BALF of asthmatic mice and the supernatants of HDM-treated 16HBE cells. IL-37 decreased the peak level of Ca2+ fluorescence induced by thapsigargin and HDM, and inhibited the mRNA expression of Orai1, suggesting an inhibiting effect of IL-37 on SOCE in airway epithelial cells. CONCLUSION: IL-37 plays a protective role in airway inflammation and HDM-induced airway epithelial barrier dysfunction by inhibiting SOCE.

BACKGROUND: Psoriasis, a chronic immune-mediated skin disease with pathological features such as aberrant differentiation of keratinocytes, dermal-epidermal inflammation, and angiogenesis. 2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxy stilbene 2-Ο-ß-d-glucoside (2354Glu) is a natural small molecule polyhydrostilbenes isolated from Polygonum multiglorum Thunb. The regulation of IL-36 subfamily has led to new pharmacologic strategies to reverse psoriasiform dermatitis. PURPOSE: Here we investigated the therapeutic potential of 2354Glu and elucidated the underlying mechanism in psoriasis. METHODS: The effects of 2354Glu on IL-36 signaling were assessed by psoriasiform in vivo, in vitro and ex vivo model. The in vivo mice model of psoriasis-like skin inflammation was established by applying imiquimod (IMQ), and the in vitro and ex vitro models were established by stimulating mouse primary keratinocyte, human keratinocytes cells (HaCaT) and ex vivo skin tissue isolated from the mice back with Polyinosine-polycytidylic acid (Poly(I:C)), IMQ, IL-36γ and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) respectively. Moreover, NETs formation was inhibited by Cl-amidine to evaluate the effect of NETs in psoriatic mouse model. The effects of 2354Glu on skin inflammation were assessed by western blot, H&E, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS: In Poly(I:C)-stimulated keratinocytes, the secretion of IL-36 was inhibited after treatment with 2354Glu, similar to the effects of TLR3, P2X7R and caspase-1 inhibitors. In aldara (imiquimod)-induced mice, 2354Glu (100 and 25 mg/kg) improved immune cell infiltration and hyperkeratosis in psoriasis by directly targeting IL-36 in keratinocytes through P2X7R-caspase-1. When treatment with 2354Glu (25 mg/kg) was insufficient to inhibit IL-36γ, NETs reduced pathological features and IL-36 signaling by interacting with keratinocytes to combat psoriasis like inflammation. CONCLUSION: These results indicated that NETs had a beneficial effect on psoriasiform dermatitis. 2354Glu alleviates psoriasis by directly targeting IL-36/P2X7R axis and NET formation, providing a potential candidate for the treatment of psoriasis.

Ca2+ permeation through TRPV4 in fibroblasts is associated with pathological matrix degradation. In human gingival fibroblasts, IL-1ß binding to its signaling receptor (IL-1R1) induces activation of extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) and MMP1 expression, processes that require Ca2+ flux across the plasma membrane. It is not known how IL-1R1, which does not conduct Ca2+, generates Ca2+ signals in response to IL-1. We examined whether TRPV4 mediates the Ca2+ fluxes required for ERK signaling in IL-1 stimulated gingival fibroblasts. TRPV4 was immunostained in fibroblasts of human gingival connective tissue and in focal adhesions of cultured mouse gingival fibroblasts. Human gingival fibroblasts treated with IL-1ß showed no change of TRPV4 expression but there was increased MMP1 expression. In mouse, gingival fibroblasts expressing TRPV4, IL-1 strongly increased [Ca2+]i. Pre-incubation of cells with IL-1 Receptor Antagonist blocked Ca2+ entry induced by IL-1 or the TRPV4 agonist GSK101. Knockout of TRPV4 or expression of a non-Ca2+-conducting TRPV4 pore-mutant or pre-incubation with the TRPV4 inhibitor RN1734, blocked IL-1-induced Ca2+ transients and expression of the mouse interstitial collagenase, MMP13. Treatment of mouse gingival fibroblasts with GSK101 phenocopied Ca2+ and ERK responses induced by IL-1; these responses were absent in TRPV4-null cells or cells expressing a non-conducting TRPV4 pore-mutant. Immunostained IL-1R1 localized with TRPV4 in adhesions within cell extensions. While TRPV4 immunoprecipitates analyzed by mass spectrometry showed no association with IL-1R1, TRPV4 associated with Src-related proteins and Src co-immunoprecipitated with TRPV4. Src inhibition reduced IL-1-induced Ca2+ responses. The functional linkage of TRPV4 with IL-1R1 expands its repertoire of innate immune signaling processes by mediating IL-1-driven Ca2+ responses that drive matrix remodeling in fibroblasts. Thus, inhibiting TRPV4 activity may provide a new pharmacological approach for blunting matrix degradation in inflammatory diseases.

Introduction: IL6 signaling plays an important role in triggering labor and IL6 is an established biomarker of intrauterine infection/inflammation (IUI) driven preterm labor (PTL). The biology of IL6 during IUI at the maternal-fetal interface was investigated in samples from human subjects and non-human primates (NHP). Methods: Pregnant women with histologic chorioamnionitis diagnosed by placenta histology were recruited (n=28 term, n=43 for preterm pregnancies from 26-36 completed weeks of gestation). IUI was induced in Rhesus macaque by intraamniotic injection of lipopolysachharide (LPS, n=23). IL1 signaling was blocked using Anakinra (human IL-1 receptor antagonist, n=13), and Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling was blocked by anti TNF-antibody (Adalimumab n=14). The blockers were given before LPS. All animals including controls (intraamniotic injection of saline n=27), were delivered 16h after LPS/saline exposure at about 80% gestation. Results: IUI induced a robust expression of IL6 mRNAs in the fetal membranes (chorion-amnion-decidua tissue) both in humans (term and preterm) and NHP. The major sources of IL6 mRNA expression were the amnion mesenchymal cells (AMC) and decidua stroma cells. Additionally, during IUI in the NHP, ADAM17 (a protease that cleaves membrane bound IL6 receptor (IL6R) to release a soluble form) and IL6R mRNA increased in the fetal membranes, and the ratio of IL6 and soluble forms of IL6R, gp130 increased in the amniotic fluid signifying upregulation of IL6 trans-signaling. Both IL1 and TNF blockade suppressed LPS-induced IL6 mRNAs in the AMC and variably decreased elements of IL6 trans-signaling. Discussion: These data suggest that IL1 and TNF blockers may be useful anti-inflammatory agents via suppression of IL6 signaling at the maternal-fetal interface.

Introduction: Antibody production and the generation of memory B cells are regulated by T follicular helper (Tfh) and T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells in germinal centers. However, the precise role of Tfr cells in controlling antibody production is still unclear. We have previously shown that both Tfh and Tfr cells express the IL-1R1 agonist receptor, whereas only Tfr cells express the IL-1R2 decoy and IL-1Ra antagonist receptors. We aimed to investigate the role of IL-1 receptors in the regulation of B cell responses by Tfh and Tfr. Methods: We generated mice with IL-1 receptors inactivated in Tfh or Tfr and measured antibody production and cell activation after immunisation. Results: While IL-1ß levels are increased in the draining lymph node after immunisation, antigen-specific antibody levels and cell phenotypes indicated that IL-1ß can activate both Tfh and Tfr cells through IL-1R1 stimulation. Surprisingly, expression of IL-1R2 and IL-1Ra on Tfr cells does not block IL-1 activation of Tfh cells, but rather prevents IL-1/IL-1R1-mediated early activation of Tfr cells. IL-1Rs also regulate the antibody response to autoantigens and its associated pathophysiology in an experimental lupus model. Discussion: Collectively, our results show that IL-1 inhibitory receptors expressed by Tfr cells prevent their own activation and suppressive function, thus licensing IL-1-mediated activation of Tfh cells after immunisation. Further mechanistic studies should unravel these complex interactions between IL-1ß and follicular helper and regulatory T cells and provide new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

OBJECTIVE: Periimplantitis (PI) is a complex multifactorial chronic disease caused by interactions between bacteria, host immune-inflammatory responses, and genetic or environmental factors that modify buccal eutrophism. In daily clinical practice, an increase in the prevalence of PI (8%) determined the need to establish the PI causes and set optimal therapeutic strategies. The interleukin family (IL-1), a group of cytokines, triggers and perpetuates peri-implantitis. Therefore, they could be used as biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment. This systematic review aimed to analyze the correlation between IL-1 allelic polymorphism (IL-1A -889, IL-1ß -511, IL-1ß +3954) and the PI disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Selected databases were PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. The search strategy included the following terms: "dental implants"; "periimplantitis"; "interleukin-IL-1"; "polymorphism"; "perimplant bone loss". Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. A meta-analysis was conducted on five of 40 review articles. p-values, confidence intervals (CI), and Odds ratios (OR) were assessed. In 4 articles, the p-value was lower than 0.05, confirming the statistical significance of the result. RESULTS: The prevalence of the selected studies reported the existence of a causal association between polymorphisms of IL-1 and the onset of peri-implantitis, especially for IL-1 allelic variants associated with further polymorphic genes encoding for IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-8, IL-1Na, IL-8, IL-18, osteopontin (OPN). In addition, the presence of the IL-1 polymorphism and PI is particularly higher in smokers, diabetes, and autoimmune disease patients. CONCLUSIONS: The detection of salivary biomarkers is, therefore, a diagnostic tool with a high potential to intercept the PI early and act with appropriate and non-invasive treatment. Due to the continued technological innovation in biomarkers and diagnostic sciences, further studies are needed to investigate the role of these biochemical mediators. The results of studies and the recent technological innovation in biomarkers and diagnostic sciences will allow further research to investigate the role of these biochemical mediators.

Natural and synthetic polymeric materials, particularly soft and hard tissue replacements, are paramount in medicine. We prepared calcium-incorporated sulfonated polyether-ether ketone (SPEEK) polymer membranes for bone applications. The bioactivity was higher after 21 days of immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) due to calcium concentration in the membrane. We present a new biomaterial healing system composed of calcium and sulfonated polyether ether ketone (Ca-SPEEK) that can function as a successful biomaterial without causing inflammation when tested on bone marrow cells. The Ca-SPEEK exhibited 13 ± 0.5% clot with low fibrin mesh formation compared to 21 ± 0.5% in SPEEK. In addition, the Ca-SPEEK showed higher protein adsorption than SPEEK membranes. As an inflammatory response, IL-1 and TNF-α in the case of Ca-SPEEK were lower than those for SPEEK. We found an early regulation of IL-10 in the case of Ca-SPEEK at 6 h, which may be attributed to the down-regulation of the inflammatory markers IL-1 and TNF-α. These results evidence the innovative bioactivity of Ca-SPEEK with low inflammatory response, opening venues for bone applications.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammation skin disease that involves dysregulated interplay between immune cells and keratinocytes. Interleukin-38 (IL-38), a poorly characterized IL-1 family cytokine, its role and mechanism in the pathogenesis of AD is elusive. Here, we show that IL-38 is mainly secreted by epidermal keratinocytes and highly expressed in the skin and downregulated in AD lesions. We generated IL-38 keratinocyte-specific knockout mice (K14Cre/+-IL-38f/f ) and induced AD models by 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). Unexpectedly, after treatment with DNFB, K14Cre/+-IL-38f/f mice were less susceptible to cutaneous inflammation of AD. Moreover, keratinocyte-specific deletion of IL-38 suppressed the migration of Langerhans cells (LCs) into lymph nodes which results in disturbed differentiation of CD4+T cells and decreased the infiltration of immune cells into AD lesions. LCs are a type of dendritic cell that reside specifically in the epidermis and regulate immune responses. We developed LC-like cells in vitro from mouse bone marrow (BM) and treated with recombined IL-38. The results show that IL-38 depended on IL-36R, activated the phosphorylated expression of IRAK4 and NF-κB P65 and upregulated the expression of CCR7 to promoting the migration of LCs, nevertheless, the upregulation disappeared with the addition of IL-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36RA), IRAK4 or NF-κB P65 inhibitor. Furthermore, after treatment with IRAK4 inhibitors, the experimental AD phenotypes were alleviated and so IRAK4 is considered a promising target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Overall, our findings indicated a potential pathway that IL-38 depends on IL-36R, leading to LCs migration to promote AD by upregulating CCR7 via IRAK4/NF-κB and implied the prevention and treatment of AD, supporting potential clinical utilization of IRAK4 inhibitors in AD treatment.
