RESUMO

Autoinflammation is a sterile inflammatory process resulting from increased neutrophil infiltration and overexpression of IL-1 cytokines. The factors that trigger these events are, however, poorly understood. By investigating pustular forms of psoriasis, we show that human neutrophils constitutively express IL-26 and abundantly release it from granular stores upon activation. In pustular psoriasis, neutrophil-derived IL-26 drives the pathogenic autoinflammation process by inducing the expression of IL-1 cytokines and chemokines that further recruit neutrophils. This occurs via activation of IL-26R in keratinocytes and via the formation of complexes between IL-26 and microbiota DNA, which trigger TLR9 activation of neutrophils. Thus our findings identify neutrophils as an important source of IL-26 and point to IL-26 as the key link between neutrophils and a self-sustaining autoinflammation loop in pustular psoriasis.

RESUMO

AIM: Anakinra, an anti IL-1 agent targeting IL-1 alfa and beta, is available for the treatment of recurrent pericarditis in cases with corticosteroid dependence and colchicine resistance after failure of conventional therapies. However, it is unclear if the combination with colchicine, a non-specific inhibitor of the inflammasome targeting the same inflammatory pathway of IL-1, could provide additional benefit to prevent further recurrences. The aim of the present observational study is to assess whether the addition of colchicine on top of anakinra could prolong the time to first recurrence and prevent recurrences better than anakinra alone. METHODS: International, all-comers, multicentre, retrospective observational cohort study analysing all consecutive patients treated with anakinra for corticosteroid-dependent and colchicine-resistant recurrent pericarditis. The efficacy endpoint was recurrence rate and the time to the first recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 256 patients (mean age 45.0±15.4 years, 65.6% females, 80.9% with idiopathic/viral aetiology) were included. 64 (25.0%) were treated with anakinra as monotherapy while 192 (75.0%) with both anakinra and colchicine. After a follow-up of 12 months, 56 (21.9%) patients had recurrences. Patients treated with colchicine added to anakinra had a lower incidence of recurrences (respectively, 18.8% vs 31.3%; p=0.036) and a longer event-free survival (p=0.025). In multivariable analysis, colchicine use prevented recurrences (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.91; p=0.021). CONCLUSIONS: The addition of colchicine on top of anakinra treatment could be helpful to reduce recurrences and prolong the recurrence-free survival.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Nutrition has a primary role for optimum expression of genetic potential, and most of the farmers have limited resources of green fodder. Hence, a fat-soluble vitamin, especially vitamin A and E and trace elements remained most critical in the animal's ration and affects their productive and reproductive performance adversely. Animals cannot be able to produce these vitamins in their bodies; hence, an exogenous regular supply is needed to fulfil the physiological needs and to maintain high production performance. This study elucidated effects of antioxidant vitamins (A, D, E) and trace elements (Cu, Mn, Se, Zn) administration on gene expression, metabolic, antioxidants and immunological parameters in dromedary camels during transition period. RESULTS: At 0 day, there were no appreciable differences in the expression patterns of the metabolic (IGF-I, ACACA, SCD, FASN, LPL, and BTN1A1) genes between the control and treatment groups, despite lower levels. A substantial variation in the mRNA levels of SOD1, SOD3, PRDX2, PRDX3, PRDX4, PRDX6, and AhpC/TSA was observed between the control and treatment groups, according to the antioxidant markers. In comparison to the control group, the treatment group displayed a significant up-regulation at 0 and 21 days. The treatment and control groups exhibited substantial differences in the mRNA values of IL-1α, IL-1ß, IL-6, and TNFα, as indicated by immunological markers. In comparison to the control group, there was a noticeable down-regulation in the treatment group at 0 and + 21 days. But IL10 produced the opposite pattern. No significant difference was observed in glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, total protein, NEFA, BHBA, cortisol and IGF-1 levels between control and treatment group. The activity of serum GPx, SOD and TAC was significantly affected by time and treatment x time in supplemented groups as compared with control group. IL-1, IL-1, IL-6, and TNF were noticeably greater in the control group and lower in the treatment group. Additionally, in all groups, the concentration of all pro-inflammatory cytokines peaked on the day of delivery and its lowest levels showed on day 21 following calving. The IL-10 level was at its peak 21 days prior to calving and was lowest on calving day. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated a beneficial effect of antioxidant vitamins and trace elements on the metabolic, antioxidant and immunological markers in dromedary camels throughout their transition period.

RESUMO

In the last years, the hypothesis that elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental diseases has gained popularity. IL-1 is one of the main cytokines found to be elevated in Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by defects in social communication and cognitive impairments. In this study, we demonstrate that mice lacking IL-1 signaling display autistic-like defects associated with an excessive number of synapses. We also show that microglia lacking IL-1 signaling at early neurodevelopmental stages are unable to properly perform the process of synapse engulfment and display excessive activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. Notably, even the acute inhibition of IL-1R1 by IL-1Ra is sufficient to enhance mTOR signaling and reduce synaptosome phagocytosis in WT microglia. Finally, we demonstrate that rapamycin treatment rescues the defects in IL-1R deficient mice. These data unveil an exclusive role of microglial IL-1 in synapse refinement via mTOR signaling and indicate a novel mechanism possibly involved in neurodevelopmental disorders associated with defects in the IL-1 pathway.

RESUMO

Lung cancer, acknowledged as one of the most fatal cancers globally, faces limited treatment options on an international scale. The success of clinical treatment is impeded by challenges such as late diagnosis, restricted treatment alternatives, relapse, and the emergence of drug resistance. This predicament has led to a saturation point in lung cancer treatment, prompting a rapid shift in focus towards the tumor microenvironment (TME) as a pivotal area in cancer research. Within the TME, Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is abundantly present, originating from immune cells, tissue stromal cells, and tumor cells. IL-1's induction of pro-inflammatory mediators and chemokines establishes an inflammatory milieu influencing tumor occurrence, development, and the interaction between tumors and the host immune system. Notably, IL-1 expression in the TME exhibits characteristics such as staging, tissue specificity, and functional pluripotency. This comprehensive review aims to delve into the impact of IL-1 on lung cancer, encompassing aspects of occurrence, invasion, metastasis, immunosuppression, and immune surveillance. The ultimate goal is to propose a novel treatment approach, considering the intricate dynamics of IL-1 within the TME.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the histopathological characteristics of peri-implant soft tissue in reconstructed jaws and the changes after keratinized mucosa augmentation (KMA) with free gingival graft (FGG). METHODS: Twenty patients were enrolled in this study. Five patients of them, who were periodontal and systemic healthy and referred for crown lengthening before restoration with healthy keratinized gingiva collected were enrolled as healthy controls. 15 patients of them were with fibula or iliac bone flaps jaw reconstruction (10 with fibula flap and 5 with iliac flap), who were referred to FGG and implant exposures before restoration. Soft tissue was collected before FGG in reconstructed jaws, and in 5 patients (3 with fibula flap and 2 with iliac flap) 8 weeks after FGG if a second surgery was conducted. Histological analysis with hematoxylin-eosin stain and immunological analysis to interlukin-1 (IL-1), interlukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were performed. RESULTS: Thickness from the bottom of stratum basale to the top of stratum granulosum and thickness of keratinized layer in reconstructed jaws were significantly lower compared with that of natural healthy keratinized gingiva [0.27 (0.20, 0.30) mm vs. 0.36 (0.35, 0.47) mm, P<0.05; 16.49 (14.90, 23.37) µm vs. 26.37 (24.12, 31.53) µm, P<0.05]. In the reconstructed area, thickness from the bottom of stratum basale to the top of stratum granulosum increased after KMA with FGG [0.19 (0.16, 0.25) mm vs. 0.38 (0.25, 0.39) mm, P=0.059] and the thickness of keratinized layer significantly increased after KMA with FGG [16.42 (14.16, 22.35) µm vs. 28.57 (27.16, 29.14) µm, P<0.05], which was similar to that in the control group. Furthermore, the number of positive cells of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α significantly increased after KMA [0.67 (0.17, 8.93) vs. 11.00 (9.16, 18.00); 13.00 (8.50, 14.14) vs. 21.89 (15.00, 28.12); 0.22 (0.04, 0.63) vs. 2.83 (1.68, 5.00), respectively, P<0.05] as well as the average optical density value [0.15 (0.14, 0.17) vs. 0.18 (0.17, 0.21); 0.28 (0.26, 0.33) vs. 0.36 (0.33, 0.37); 0.23 (0.22, 0.29) vs. 0.30 (0.28, 0.42), respectively, P<0.05], which was similar to that in the healthy keratinized gingiva. CONCLUSION: The lack of rete pegs and inflammatory factors were common in soft tissue with jaw reconstruction. FGG can improve the quality of the epithelium and may improve the stability of the mucosa around implants.

RESUMO

Diseases of the pericardium encompass a spectrum of conditions, including acute and recurrent pericarditis, where inflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations. Anti-inflammatory therapy indeed forms the cornerstone of treating these conditions: NSAIDs, colchicine, and corticosteroids (as a second-line treatment) are recommended by current guidelines. However, these medications come with several contraindications and are not devoid of adverse effects. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on the role of the inflammasome and potential therapeutic targets. Recurrent pericarditis also shares numerous characteristics with other autoinflammatory diseases, in which interleukin-1 antagonists have already been employed with good efficacy and safety. The objective of this review is to summarize the available studies on the use of anti-IL-1 drugs both in acute and recurrent pericarditis.

RESUMO

In this study, our aim was to investigate the effects of restorative materials such as composite, compomer and high viscosity glass ionomer, which are frequently used in dentistry, on L929 fibroblast cells by evaluating the oxidative stress parameters, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and apoptosis markers. L929 fibroblast cells were cultured, and dental filling materials were applied in two doses (50 and 100 µl). Immunohistochemical staining was performed for experimental groups with Anti-Bax and Anti-Caspase 9 antibodies. Then, ELISA technique was used to detect the level of TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, IL-1-beta, IL-6, IL-10, LPO and CAT. In the light of the data, the examined dental filling materials were effective on increasing the TGF-beta, IL-10, LPO and CAT levels, and decreasing the TNF-alpha, IL-1-beta, and IL-6 levels. The histological micrographs were also support the issues. When the levels of H-score in Caspase 9 labeled micrographs were evaluated, the mean of the control group was lower than the mean of the experimental groups. Biocompatibility varies according to the content of the material, the amount of residual monomer, and its solubility. Although all the experimental groups have cytotoxic effects, the least effect is seen in the Omnichroma group.

RESUMO

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a pleiotropic inflammatory cytokine that mediates antimicrobial defense and granuloma formation in response to infection by numerous pathogens. We previously reported that Yersinia pseudotuberculosis colonizes the intestinal mucosa and induces the recruitment of neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes into organized immune structures termed pyogranulomas (PG) that control Yersinia infection. Inflammatory monocytes are essential for the control and clearance of Yersinia within intestinal PG, but how monocytes mediate Yersinia restriction is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that TNF signaling in monocytes is required for bacterial containment following enteric Yersinia infection. We further show that monocyte-intrinsic TNFR1 signaling drives the production of monocyte-derived interleukin-1 (IL-1), which signals through IL-1 receptors on non-hematopoietic cells to enable PG-mediated control of intestinal Yersinia infection. Altogether, our work reveals a monocyte-intrinsic TNF-IL-1 collaborative inflammatory circuit that restricts intestinal Yersinia infection.

RESUMO

Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are a group of rare genetic and nongenetic immune dysregulatory disorders associated with high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Therefore, early diagnosis and initiation of targeted treatment is vital in SAID patients to control the disease activity and prevent long-term immune-mediated damage. A specific group of genetically defined SAIDs is associated with increased inflammasome-mediated production of active interleukin (IL)-1. Even though progress in immunobiology and genetics has brought forth diagnostic tools and novel treatments that have been described in the literature extensively, many challenges remain in the clinical setting. Some challenges that health care providers may face on a day-to-day basis include the requirement of a multidisciplinary approach due to the complexity of these diseases, limited evidence-based treatment options, and barriers to access available therapies. Primarily, IL-1 inhibitors anakinra, canakinumab, and rilonacept are used to control the inflammation in these patients, with the goal of achieving sustainable remission. Recently published provisional points to consider from the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) and American College of Rheumatology (ACR) provide diagnosis, management, and monitoring recommendations for four IL-1-mediated autoinflammatory diseases: cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), and deficiency of the IL-1 receptor antagonist (DIRA). The goal of this paper is to aid health care professionals by providing a practical approach to diagnosis and management of these four IL-1 mediated SAIDs on the basis of the recent EULAR/ACR recommendations.

RESUMO

IL-1 family members have multiple pleiotropic functions affecting various tissues and cells, including the regulation of the immune response, hematopoietic homeostasis, bone remodeling, neuronal physiology, and synaptic plasticity. Many of these activities are involved in various pathological processes and immunological disorders, including tumor initiation and progression. Indeed, IL-1 family members have been described to contribute to shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME), determining immune evasion and drug resistance, and to sustain tumor aggressiveness and metastasis. This review addresses the role of IL-1 family members in bone sarcomas, particularly the highly metastatic osteosarcoma (OS) and Ewing sarcoma (EWS), and discusses the IL-1-family-related mechanisms that play a role in bone metastasis development. We also consider the therapeutic implications of targeting IL-1 family members, which have been proposed as (i) relevant targets for anti-tumor and anti-metastatic drugs; (ii) immune checkpoints for immune suppression; and (iii) potential antigens for immunotherapy.

RESUMO

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, characterized by atherosclerotic activity within large and medium-sized arteries. Inflammation has been shown to be a primary driver of atherosclerotic plaque formation, with interleukin-1 (IL-1) having a principal role. This review focuses on the current state of knowledge of molecular mechanisms of IL-1 release from cells in atherosclerotic plaques. A more in-depth understanding of the process of IL-1's release into the vascular environment is necessary for the treatment of inflammatory disease processes, as the current selection of medicines being used primarily target IL-1 after it has been released. IL-1 is secreted by several heterogenous mechanisms, some of which are cell type-specific and could provide further specialized targets for therapeutic intervention. A major unmet challenge is to understand the mechanism before and leading to IL-1 release, especially by cells in atherosclerotic plaques, including endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and macrophages. Data so far indicate a heterogeneity of IL-1 release mechanisms that vary according to cell type and are stimulus-dependent. Unraveling this complexity may reveal new targets to block excess vascular inflammation.

RESUMO

As an environmental enrichment, music can positively influence the immune function, while noise has an adverse effect on the physical and mental health of humans and animals. However, whether music-enriched environments mitigate noise-induced acute stress remains unclear. To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of music on the immune organs of broiler chickens under conditions of early-life acute noise stress, 140 one-day-old white feather broilers (AA) were randomly divided into four groups: control (C), the music stimulation (M) group, the acute noise stimulation (N) group, the acute noise stimulation followed by music (NM) group. At 14 days of age, the N and NM groups received 120 dB noise stimulation for 10 min for one week. After acute noise stimulation, the NM group and M group were subjected to continuous music stimulation for 14 days (6 h per day, 60 dB). At 28 days of age, the body temperature of the chicks, the histopathological changes, quantification of ROS-positive density and apoptosis positivity in tissues of spleen, thymus, and bursa of Fabricius (BF) were measured. The results showed that acute noise stimulation led to an increase in the number and area of splenic microsomes and the cortex/medulla ratio of the detected immune organs. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) of immune tissues of broilers in N group were decreased compared to the broilers in C group, while the mRNA levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-1ß increased. In addition, the gene and protein expression levels of IKK, NF-κB, and IFN-γ of three immune organs from broilers in the N group were increased. Compared to the C and N group, chickens from the NM group showed a decrease in the number and area of splenic follicles, an increase in the activities of SOD and GSH-Px, and a decrease in the expression levels of MDA, TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-1ß. Therefore, a music-enriched environment can attenuate oxidative stress induced by acute noise stimulation, inhibiting the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and consequently alleviating the inflammatory response in immune organs.

RESUMO

IL-36 is known to mediate inflammation and fibrosis. Nevertheless, IL-36 signalling axis has also been implicated in cancer, although understanding of exact contribution of IL-36 to cancer progression is very limited, partly due to existence of multiple IL-36 ligands with agonistic and antagonistic function. Here we explored the role of IL-36 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Firstly, we analyzed expression of IL-36 ligands and receptor and found that the expression of IL-36γ was significantly higher in head and neck cancer (HNSCC) than that of normal tissues, and that the high expression of IL-36γ predicted poor clinical outcomes. Secondly, we investigated the direct effect of IL-36γ on OSCC cells and found that IL-36γ stimulated proliferation of OSCC cells with high expression of IL-36R expression. Interestingly, IL-36γ also promoted migration of OSCC cells with low to high IL-36R expression. Critically, both proliferation and migration of OSCC cells induced by IL-36γ were abrogated by anti-IL-36R mAb. Fittingly, RNA sequence analysis revealed that IL-36γ regulated genes involved in cell cycle and cell division. In summary, our results showed that IL-36γ can be a tumor-promoting factor, and targeting of IL-36R signalling may be a beneficial targeted therapy for patients with abnormal IL-36 signalling.

RESUMO

Atherosclerosis is a lipid-driven inflammatory arterial disease, with one crucial factor is oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), which can induce endothelial dysfunction through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). Interleukin-37 (IL-37) exerts vascular protective functions. This study aims to investigates whether IL-37 can alleviate ERS and autophagy induced by ox-LDL, therely potentialy treating atherosclerosis. We found that ox-LDL enhances the wound healing rate in Rat Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells (RCAECs) and IL-37 reduce the ox-LDL-induced pro-osteogenic response, ERS, and autophagy by binding to Smad3. In RCAECs treated with ox-LDL and recombinant human IL-37, the wound healing rate was mitigated. The expression of osteogenic transcription factors and proteins involved in the ERS pathway was reduced in the group pretreated with IL-37 and ox-LDL. However, these responses were not alleviated when Smads silenced. Electron microscopy revealed that the IL-37/Smad3 complex could suppress endoplasmic reticulum autophagy under ox-LDL stimulation. Thus, IL-37 might treat atherosclerosis through its multi-protective effect by binding Smad3.

RESUMO

The immunopathogenesis of HS is partially understood and exhibits features of an autoinflammatory disease; it is associated with the potential involvement of B cells and the contribution of Th1 or Th17 cell subsets. Recently, the pathogenic role of both innate immunity and IL-1 family cytokines in HS has been deeply investigated. Several agents targeting the IL-1 family pathway at different levels are currently available and under investigation for the treatment of HS. HS is still characterized by unmet clinical needs and represents an expanding field in the current scientific research. The aim of this narrative review is to describe the pathological dysregulation of IL-1 family members in HS and to provide an update on therapeutic strategies targeting IL-1 family cytokine signaling. Further clinical and preclinical data may likely lead to the enrichment of the therapeutic armamentarium of HS with IL-1 family cytokine antagonists.

RESUMO

Inappropriate immune activity is key in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases, and it is typically driven by excess inflammation and/or autoimmunity. IL-1 is often the effector owing to its powerful role in both innate and adaptive immunity, and, thus, it is tightly controlled at multiple levels. IL-1R2 antagonizes IL-1, but effects of losing this regulation are unknown. We found that IL-1R2 resolves inflammation by rapidly scavenging free IL-1. Specific IL-1R2 loss in germinal center (GC) T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells increased the GC response after a first, but not booster, immunization, with an increase in T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, GC B cells, and antigen-specific antibodies, which was reversed upon IL-1 blockade. However, IL-1 signaling is not obligate for GC reactions, as WT and Il1r1-/- mice showed equivalent phenotypes, suggesting that GC IL-1 is normally restrained by IL-1R2. Fascinatingly, germline Il1r2-/- mice did not show this phenotype, but conditional Il1r2 deletion in adulthood recapitulated it, implying that compensation during development counteracts IL-1R2 loss. Finally, patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease had lower serum IL-1R2. All together, we show that IL-1R2 controls important aspects of innate and adaptive immunity and that IL-1R2 level may contribute to human disease propensity and/or progression.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Stress is one of the prevalent factors influencing cognition. Several studies examined the effect of mild or chronic stress on cognition. However, most of these studies are limited to a few behavioral tests or the expression of selected RNA/proteins markers in a selected brain region. METHODS: This study examined the effect of restraint stress on learning, memory, cognition, and expression of transcripts in key learning centers. Male mice were divided into three groups (n = 6/group)-control group, stress group (adult stressed group; S), and F1 group (parental stressed group). Stress group mice were subjected to physical restraint stress for 2 h before light offset for 2 weeks. The F1 group comprised adult male mice born of stressed parents. All animals were subjected to different tests and were sacrificed at the end. Transcription levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (Bdnf), Tyrosine kinase (TrkB), Growth Associated Protein 43 (Gap-43), Neurogranin (Ng), cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein (Creb), Glycogen synthase kinase-3ß (Gsk3ß), Interleukine-1 (IL-1) and Tumour necrosis factor-α (Tnf-α) were studied. RESULTS: Results show that both adult and parental stress negatively affect learning, memory and cognition, as reflected by taking longer time to achieve the task or showing reduced exploratory behavior. Expression of Bdnf, TrkB, Gsk3ß and Ng was downregulated, while IL-1 and Tnf-α were upregulated in the brain's cortex, thalamus, and hippocampus region of stressed mice. These effects seem to be relatively less severe in the offspring of stressed parents. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that physical restraint stress can alter learning, memory, cognition, and expression of transcripts in key learning centers of brain.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease. Colchicine is the primary treatment for FMF, although some patients do not respond well or are unable to tolerate it. For these patients, the addition of interleukin-1 (IL-1) antagonists is the preferred option. However, the impact of colchicine treatment alongside the use of IL-1 antagonists remains unclear. METHODS: We recruited adult FMF patients who satisfied the Eurofever and Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization classification criteria and were receiving IL-1 antagonist treatment from our FMF cohort. All the patients exhibited colchicine intolerance or resistance. As per the FMF cohort protocol, the patients were longitudinally followed up, including assessments of their C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, autoinflammatory disease activity index (AIDAI), and autoinflammatory damage index (ADDI). RESULTS: Among the 125 patients (68 female and 57 male), 96 received a combination of IL-1 antagonists and the maximum tolerated dose of colchicine, whereas 29 were treated exclusively with IL-1 antagonists due to colchicine intolerance. The patients' inflammatory markers, AIDAI activity, and ADDI damage scores did not differ significantly between the two groups during the follow-up period. Notably, the drug retention rates were significantly higher in the patients treated solely with IL-1 antagonists. CONCLUSION: While the typical approach is to maintain colchicine treatment alongside the use of IL-1 antagonists, for patients who cannot tolerate effective colchicine doses, IL-1 antagonists alone may effectively control FMF disease activity.
