Journal ArticleDOI

The involvement of IL-1 in tumorigenesis, tumor invasiveness, metastasis and tumor-host interactions.

TL;DR: It is proposed that membrane-associated IL-1α expressed on malignant cells stimulates anti-tumor immunity and activates inflammation that promotes invasiveness and also induces tumor-mediated suppression, pointing to its feasibility in cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential release of chromatin-bound IL-1α discriminates between necrotic and apoptotic cell death by the ability to induce sterile inflammation

TL;DR: It is shown that intracellular IL-1α is a chromatin-associated cytokine and highly dynamic in the nucleus of living cells and nuclear trafficking and differential release during necrosis vs. apoptosis demonstrate that inflammation by IL- 1α is tightly controlled.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-1β–Driven Inflammation Promotes the Development and Invasiveness of Chemical Carcinogen–Induced Tumors

TL;DR: Fibrosarcoma cell lines, established from 3-MCA-induced tumors from IL-1Ra-deficient mice, were more aggressive and metastatic than lines from WT mice; cell lines fromIL-1- deficient mice were the least invasive.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Macrophage-Derived IL-1 in Induction and Maintenance of Angiogenesis

TL;DR: Targeting IL-1β has the potential to inhibit angiogenesis in pathological situations and may be of considerable clinical value, as shown by the dramatic reduction of inflammatory and angiogenic responses in Matrigel plugs that contained macrophage supernatants from control mice.
