The interleukin (IL)-1 cytokine family--Balance between agonists and antagonists in inflammatory diseases

TLDR
Several genetic modifications or mutations associated with dysregulated IL-1 activity and autoinflammatory disorders were identified in mouse models and in patients and paved the road to the successful use of IL- 1 inhibitors in diseases that were previously considered as untreatable.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines: The link between obesity and osteoarthritis.

TL;DR: The relationship between obesity and inflammation, and the roles of IL-1, TNF-α and IL-6 in OA, is summarized and the possibility of using the pro-inflammatory signaling pathway as a therapeutic target to develop drugs for obesity-related OA is discussed.

The Function of Fish Cytokines

TL;DR: Such studies begin to tell us about the role of these molecules in the regulation of fish immune responses and whether they are similar or divergent to the well-characterised functions of mammalian cytokines, to improve fish health in aquaculture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 33 is a guardian of barriers and a local alarmin

TL;DR: A working model is developed that describes two 'lives' for IL-33—one intracellular and one extracellular, which coordinates immune defense and repair mechanisms while also initiating differentiation of helper T cells as the adaptive immune response is triggered.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Gasdermin-D pore acts as a conduit for IL-1β secretion in mice

TL;DR: It is shown using the murine system that gasdermin‐D is required for IL‐1β secretion by macrophages, dendritic cells and partially in neutrophils, and that secretion is a cell‐lysis‐independent event.

NALP3 Forms an IL-1β-Processing Inflammasome with Increased Activity in Muckle-Wells Autoinflammatory Disorder

TL;DR: It is reported that NALP2 and NalP3 associate with ASC, the CARD-containing protein Cardinal, and caspase-1 (but not casp enzyme-5), thereby forming an inflammasome with high proIL-1beta-processing activity.

The Interleukin-1 Family: Back to the Future

TL;DR: The key properties of IL-1 family members are reviewed, with emphasis on pathways of negative regulation and orchestration of innate and adaptive immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treating inflammation by blocking interleukin-1 in a broad spectrum of diseases

TL;DR: Monotherapy blocking IL-1 activity in autoinflammatory syndromes results in a rapid and sustained reduction in disease severity, including reversal of inflammation-mediated loss of sight, hearing and organ function.

Mutation of a new gene encoding a putative pyrin-like protein causes familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome and Muckle–Wells syndrome

TL;DR: A gene, called CIAS1, is expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes and encodes a protein with a pyrin domain, a nucleotide-binding site (NBS, NACHT subfamily) domain and a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) motif region, suggesting a role in the regulation of inflammation and apoptosis.

Interleukin-1 type II receptor: a decoy target for IL-1 that is regulated by IL-4

TL;DR: Results indicate thatIL-1 acts on myelomonocytic cells through IL-1R I and that IL- 1R II inhibits IL-2 activity by acting as a decoy target for IL-0, and the existence of multiple pathways of regulation emphasizes the need for tight control of IL-
