Abstract
BACKGROUND Recombinant human Interleukin receptor antagonist (rhIL-Ra) can bind to the IL-1 receptor on the cell membrane and reversibly blocks the proinflammatory signaling pathway. However, its effect on allergic rhinitis (AR) and the underlying mechanism remains unknown. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (rhIL-1Ra) on AR guinea pigs. METHODS Guinea pigs were systemically sensitized by intraperitoneal injection and topical intranasal instillation with ovalbumin within 21 days. Animals administrated with saline served as the normal control. The AR animals were randomly divided into the model group and distinct concentrations of rhIL-1Ra and budesonide treatment groups. IL-1β and ovalbumin specific IgE levels were detected by ELISA kits. Nasal mucosa tissues were stained with hematoxylin & eosin (HE) for histological examination. RESULTS It was found that the numbers of sneezing and nose rubbing were remarkably reduced in rhIL-1Ra and budesonide-treated guinea pigs. Besides, rhIL-1Ra distinctly alleviated IgE levels in serum and IL-1β levels in nasal mucus, together with decreased exfoliation of epithelial cells, eosinophilic infiltration, tissue edema and vascular dilatation. CONCLUSIONS rhIL-1Ra is effective in AR guinea pigs and may provide a novel potential choice for AR treatments.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic upper airway immune-inflammation response mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) to allergens and can seriously affect the quality of life and work efficiency. Previous studies have shown that interleukin-1β (IL-1β) acts as a key cytokine to participate in and promote the occurrence and development of allergic diseases. It has been proposed that IL-1β may be a potential biomarker of AR. However, its definitive role and potential mechanism in AR have not been fully elucidated, and the clinical sample collection and detection methods were inconsistent among different studies, which have limited the use of IL-1β as a clinical diagnosis and treatment marker for AR. This article systematically summarizes the research advances in the roles of IL-1β in allergic diseases, focusing on the changes of IL-1β in AR and the possible interventions. In addition, based on the findings by our team, we provided new insights into the use of IL-1β in AR diagnosis and treatment, in an attempt to further promote the clinical application of IL-1β in AR and other allergic diseases.

Anti-inflammatory activity of SintMed65, an N-acylhydrazone derivative, in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation. Int Immunopharmacol 2019; 75:105735. [PMID: 31306982 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2019.105735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2019] [Revised: 06/17/2019] [Accepted: 06/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Asthma is a chronic, complex and heterogeneous inflammatory illness, characterized by obstruction of the lower airways. About 334 million people worldwide suffer from asthma, and these estimates, as well as the severity of the disease, have increased in the last decades. Glucocorticoids are currently the most widely used drugs in the treatment and control of asthma symptoms, but their prolonged use can cause serious adverse effects. N-acylhydrazone derivatives have been tested in pre-clinical studies in models of inflammatory diseases. Here we tested SintMed65 (N'-[(1E)-3-(4-nitrophenylhydrazono)]-(2E)-propan-2-ylidene-3,5-dinitrobenzohydrazide), a compound belonging to a novel class of immunosuppressive drugs, in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation. BALB/c mice were sensitized previously and challenged with ovalbumin for five consecutive days and SintMed65 treatment was performed orally 1 h prior to challenge with ovalbumin. Administration of SintMed65, as well as the reference drug dexamethasone, reduced cellularity and the number of eosinophils in the bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF). SintMed65 also reduced the production of Th2 cytokines IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 in the BALF, and IL-4, IL-10 and CCL8 gene expression in lung, compared to vehicle-treated mice. Importantly, a reduction in the number of leukocytes and in the mucus production in lungs of SintMed65-treated mice was found, compared to the vehicle-treated group. In contrast, IgE production was not significantly altered after treatment with SintMed65. Our results demonstrate that compound SintMed65 possesses anti-inflammatory characteristics, suggesting its therapeutic potential for the treatment of allergic diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Artemisia scoparia Waldst. et Kit. (AS) has been used to treat inflammation, urticaria and hepatitis. However, the scientific studies of AS and its active compound for inflammatory reactions in activated human mast cell line, HMC-1 cells have not yet been elucidated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Here, we isolated 3,5-dicaffeoyl-epi-quinic acid (DEQA) from AS butanol fraction. The anti-inflammatory effect of AS and its new active compound, DEQA was examined in HMC-1 cells by studying the following markers: phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and calcium ionophore A23187 (PMACI)-induced thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 secretion and mRNA expression by ELISA and RT-PCR, respectively. Furthermore, mechanism related to anti-inflammatory was examined by Western blotting. RESULTS We reported that AS and its new active compound, DEQA significantly reduced TSLP, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 production levels through the reduction of caspase-1 activity. The mRNA expression of these inflammatory cytokine was also reduced via blocking nuclear factor-κB nuclear translocation by AS and DEQA. In addition, AS significantly reduced phosphorylated-c-Jun N-terminal kinase level and DEQA significantly reduced both phosphorylated-c-Jun N-terminal kinase and -p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase levels. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, these results indicated that AS and its active compound, DEQA may improve mast cell-mediated inflammatory diseases.
