Abstract
Multiple subfields of neuroscience research are beginning to incorporate astrocytes into current frameworks of understanding overall brain physiology, neuronal circuitry, and disease etiology that underlie sleep and sleep-related disorders. Astrocytes have emerged as a dynamic regulator of neuronal activity through control of extracellular space (ECS) volume and composition, both of which can vary dramatically during different levels of sleep and arousal. Astrocytes are also an attractive target of sleep research due to their prominent role in the glymphatic system, a method by which toxic metabolites generated during wakefulness are cleared away. In this review we assess the literature surrounding glial influences on fluctuations in ECS volume and composition across the sleep-wake cycle. We also examine mechanisms of astrocyte volume regulation in glymphatic solute clearance and their role in sleep and wake states. Overall, findings highlight the importance of astrocytes in sleep and sleep research.

Abstract
Poor quality and quantity of sleep are very common in elderly people throughout the world. Growing evidence has suggested that sleep disturbances could accelerate the process of neurodegeneration. Recent reports have shown a positive correlation between sleep deprivation and amyloid-β (Aβ)/tau aggregation in the brain of Alzheimer's patients. Glial cells have long been implicated in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and recent findings have also suggested their role in regulating sleep homeostasis. However, how glial cells control the sleep-wake balance and exactly how disturbed sleep may act as a trigger for Alzheimer's or other neurological disorders have recently gotten attention. In an attempt to connect the dots, the present review has highlighted the role of glia-derived sleep regulatory molecules in AD pathogenesis. Role of glia in sleep disturbance and Alzheimer's progression.

Abstract
Background Poor sleep has significant effects on health contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. The direct and indirect costs of sleep dysfunction total well in to the billions of dollars annually in the United States. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects up to 16% of the US population and has been linked to poor sleep quality with up to three quarters of patients with CRS reporting poor sleep quality. There is a growing body of literature evaluating the relationship between sleep and CRS. In this review, we organize and present the current knowledge on the associations between sleep and CRS as well as identify areas for further investigation. Data sources A structured literature search from 1946 to 2016 was conducted in the English language using OVID MEDLINE database, PubMed, and EMBASE. Review methods Abstracts were reviewed for relevance and appropriate studies were included in the narrative review. Results Studies were analyzed and discussed as they pertained to the following categories of CRS and sleep: (1) subjective measures of sleep dysfunction, (2) objective measures of sleep dysfunction, and (3) outcomes on sleep quality following treatment of CRS. Articles on the pathophysiology of sleep dysfunction in CRS were separately reviewed. Conclusions An evolving body of research demonstrates that quality of sleep is compromised in the majority of patients with CRS. Following treatment of CRS, there is significant improvement in subjective sleep quality, but additional research investigating objective measures following treatment is still needed. Additionally, further investigation is required to better elucidate the underlying pathophysiology of the relationship between sleep dysfunction and CRS. Level of Evidence N/A.

Abstract
The reciprocal interaction between the immune system and sleep regulation has been widely acknowledged but the cellular mechanisms that underpin this interaction are not completely understood. In the present study, we investigated the role of macrophages in sleep loss- and cold exposure-induced sleep and body temperature responses. Macrophage apoptosis was induced in mice by systemic injection of clodronate-containing liposomes (CCL). We report that CCL treatment induced an immediate and transient increase in non-rapid-eye movement sleep (NREMS) and fever accompanied by decrease in rapid-eye movement sleep, motor activity and NREMS delta power. Chronically macrophage-depleted mice had attenuated NREMS rebound after sleep deprivation compared to normal mice. Cold-induced increase in wakefulness and decrease in NREMS, rapid-eye movement sleep and body temperature were significantly enhanced in macrophage-depleted mice indicating increased cold sensitivity. These findings provide further evidence for the reciprocal interaction among the immune system, sleep and metabolism, and identify macrophages as one of the key cellular elements in this interplay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Sleep disturbance, reduced quality of life (QOL), and other components of "sickness behavior" in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are poorly understood. These complex changes in central behavior are due to the effects of immune mediators acting in the brain. We hypothesized that immune mediators that have been associated with CRS are also associated with sickness behavior, somnifacient complaints, and CRS disease-specific QOL. STUDY DESIGN Pilot study. METHODS Twenty patients with CRS were prospectively enrolled and completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), disease-specific QOL, and olfactory instruments. Ethmoid mucosa was obtained and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed for the cytokines interleukin (IL)-4, -13, and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Average change in crossover threshold was calculated, and differences in gene expression were correlated with sleep quality, CRS-specific QOL, and disease severity. RESULTS Patients with CRS reported overall poor sleep quality and poor CRS-specific QOL with significant correlations between them. Increased expression of TGF-β (r = -0.443; P = .050) and IL-4 (r = -0.548; P = .012) correlated with sleep dysfunction, whereas IL-13 expression was linearly associated with worse sleep quality (PSQI scores r = -0.417; P = .075). IL-4 and TGF-β expression was not associated with CRS disease severity or QOL, whereas significantly higher levels of IL-13 expression correlated with worse CRS disease severity and QOL. CONCLUSIONS Patients with CRS exhibited behavioral changes commonly referred to as sickness behavior, which include poor sleep quality and reduced QOL. The upregulation of IL-4 and TGF-β may contribute to inflammatory brain-mediated effects on sleep quality, whereas IL-13 may be a pleiotropic signaling molecule influencing sleep, QOL, and CRS disease severity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2b.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) exhibit centrally mediated behavioral changes commonly referred to as "sickness behavior." Sleep alteration is a component of sickness behavior which is estimated to affect up to 70 million patients annually. Patients with CRS have poor sleep quality, and little is known about the underlying etiology and pathophysiology. This narrative review aims to further organize and present the current knowledge associating sleep and CRS. METHODS A literature search was conducted of the OVID MEDLINE database using key search words including: "chronic rhinosinusitis," "sleep," "sleep disorders," and "sleep dysfunction." Additional keywords "nasal obstruction," "nasal polyp," and "fatigue" were identified and used to further delineate relevant articles. RESULTS The articles that specifically addressed sleep and CRS were dissected and presented as follows: (1) chronic rhinosinusitis and sleep; (2) chronic rhinosinusitis and fatigue; (3) chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal obstruction, and sleep; and (4) pathophysiology of sleep in chronic rhinosinusitis (cytokines in both sleep and chronic rhinosinusitis and their association to the neuroimmune biology of chronic rhinosinusitis). CONCLUSION Patients with CRS have sleep dysfunction that is associated with their disease severity and overall quality of life. The etiology of sleep dysfunction in CRS is most likely multifactorial. Increasing evidence suggests sleep dysfunction in patients with CRS is partly due to the inflammatory disease process, and sleep physiology in patients with CRS may be actively regulated by the inflammatory component of the disease.

Abstract
The brain uses a variety of mechanisms to survey the immune system constantly. Responses of the immune system to invading pathogens are detected by the central nervous system, which responds by orchestrating complex changes in behavior and physiology. Sleep is one of the behaviors altered in response to immune challenge. The role of cytokines as mediators of responses to infectious challenge and regulators and modulators of sleep is the focus of this article.

Brain Behav Immun 2008; 22:982-93.

Abstract
Data indicate that interleukin (IL)-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) are involved in the regulation of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS). Previous studies demonstrate that mice lacking the IL-1 beta type 1 receptor spend less time in NREMS during the light period, whereas mice lacking the p55 (type 1) receptor for TNFalpha spend less time in NREMS during the dark period. To further investigate roles for IL-1 beta and TNFalpha in sleep regulation we phenotyped sleep and responses to sleep deprivation of mice lacking both the IL-1 beta receptor 1 and TNFalpha receptor 1 (IL-1R1/TNFR1 KO). Male adult mice (IL-1R1/TNFR1 KO, n=14; B6129SF2/J, n=14) were surgically instrumented with EEG electrodes and with a thermistor to measure brain temperature. After recovery and adaptation to the recording apparatus, 48 h of undisturbed baseline recordings were obtained. Mice were then subjected to 6h sleep deprivation at light onset by gentle handling. IL-1R1/TNFR1 KO mice spent less time in NREMS during the last 6h of the dark period and less time in rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) during the light period. There were no differences between strains in the diurnal timing of delta power during NREMS. However, there were strain differences in the relative power spectra of the NREMS EEG during both the light period and the dark period. In addition, during the light period relative power in the theta frequency band of the REMS EEG differed between strains. After sleep deprivation, control mice exhibited prolonged increases in NREMS and REMS, whereas the duration of the NREMS increase was shorter and there was no increase in REMS of IL-1R1/TNFR1 KO mice. Delta power during NREMS increased in both strains after sleep deprivation, but the increase in delta power during NREMS of IL-1R1/TNFR1 KO mice was of greater magnitude and of longer duration than that observed in control mice. These results provide additional evidence that the IL-1 beta and TNFalpha cytokine systems play a role in sleep regulation and in the alterations in sleep that follow prolonged wakefulness.

Abstract
Personal experience indicates we sleep differently when sick. Data reviewed demonstrate the extent to which sleep is altered during the course of infection of host organisms by several classes of pathogens. One important unanswered question is whether or not the alterations in sleep during infection are of functional relevance. That is, does the way we sleep when sick facilitate or impede recovery? One retrospective, preclinical study suggests that sleep changes during infection are of functional relevance. Toth and colleagues [102] analyzed sleep responses of rabbits to three different microbial infections. Those rabbits that exhibited robust increases in NREM sleep were more likely to survive than those that exhibited long periods of NREM sleep suppression. These tantalizing data suggest that the precise alterations in sleep through the course of infection are important determinants of morbidity and mortality. Data from healthy subjects demonstrate a role for at least two cytokines in the regulation of spontaneous, physiologic NREM sleep. A second critical yet unanswered question is whether or not cytokines mediate infection-induced alterations in sleep. The hypothesis that cytokines mediate infection-induced alterations in sleep is logical based on observations of the impact of infection on levels of cytokines in the peripheral immune system and in the brain. No attempts have been made to intervene with cytokine systems in brain during the course of infection to determine if there is an impact on infection-induced alterations in sleep. Although substantial progress has been made in elucidating the myriad mechanisms by which cytokines regulate and modulate sleep, much remains to be determined with respect to mechanistic and functional aspects of infection-induced alterations in sleep.

Abstract
Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a key inflammatory mediator. PAF and its receptor are found in brain and PAF affects or is affected by the production of sleep promoting cytokines such as interleukin-1. PAF also interacts with several other sleep-regulatory substances such as nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin-3, nitric oxide, prostaglandins, and prolactin. We thus hypothesized that PAF would increase sleep. In these experiments, each rabbit received an injection of 25 microl of 2% DMSO to obtain control values, and on a separate day received PAF or lyso-PAF, a metabolite of PAF. Ten, 100 and 500 nmol for each substance was injected intracerebroventricularly. Both PAF and lyso-PAF enhanced non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep but not REM sleep. Lyso-PAF, but not PAF, induced hyperthermia. Results are consistent with the hypothesis that the brain cytokine network is involved in physiological sleep regulation.

Abstract
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a cytokine found in the brain. In this study, the ability of IL-8 to induce sleep in rabbits and rats was investigated. Twenty-seven Sprague-Dawley rats and 16 male New Zealand White rabbits were provided electroencephalographic (EEG) electrodes, a brain thermistor, and a lateral intracerebroventricular cannula. The animals were injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) with pyrogen-free saline and, one of the following doses of IL-8 on a separate day: 1.25 or 12.5 ng in rabbits and 10, 50, or 100 ng in rats. EEG, brain temperature, and motor activity were recorded for 23 h after the i.c.v. injections. IL-8 increased time spent in non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) without affecting rapid eye movement sleep (REMS). In rabbits, both doses of IL-8 promoted NREMS. In rats, the 10 and 50 ng doses of IL-8 failed to affect sleep, but the 100 ng dose of IL-8 enhanced NREMS. EEG slow-wave activity during NREMS was increased after the high dose of IL-8 in rabbits. IL-8 also induced fever in rabbits but not rats. Heat inactivated IL-8 did not alter any of the parameters measured. Current results support the notion that the brain cytokine network plays a role in sleep regulation.

Abstract
Caspase-1/interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-converting enzyme (ICE) cleaves IL-1beta and IL-18 precursor proteins to the active forms of these proinflammatory cytokines. Since both cytokines are constitutively expressed in the brain, we investigated whether this is also the case for caspase-1. Using an antibody raised against the p10-subunit of the active enzyme, constitutive expression of caspase-1 immunoreactivity was found in nerve cells in the arcuate nucleus and in nerve fibres throughout the brain. Co-localisation with alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone was demonstrated. The distribution pattern of caspase-1 immunoreactive structures is consistent with a role to produce mature IL-1beta in regions where IL-1beta mediates fever and sleep.

Abstract
IL-1 is an important mediator of inflammation and tissue damage in multiple organs, both in experimental animal models of disease and in human diseases. The IL-1 family consists of two agonists, IL-1alpha and IL-1beta, two receptors, biologically active IL-1RI and inert IL-1RII, and a specific receptor antagonist, IL-1Ra. The balance between IL-1 and IL-1Ra in local tissues plays an important role in the susceptibility to and severity of many diseases. An allelic polymorphism in the IL-1Ra gene has been associated with a variety of human diseases primarily of epithelial and endothelial cell origin. This association may be secondary to an imbalance in the IL-1 system with enhanced production of IL-1beta and reduced production of the major intracellular isoform of IL-1Ra. Treatment of RA with daily subcutaneous injections of recombinant IL-1Ra protein has been shown to be efficacious. Gene therapy approaches with IL-1Ra are being evaluated for the treatment of RA and other human diseases.

Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha are involved in physiological sleep regulation. Interleukin (IL)-13 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 are anti-inflammatory cytokines that inhibit proinflammatory cytokines by several mechanisms. Therefore, we hypothesized that IL-13 and TGF-beta1 could attenuate sleep in rabbits. Three doses of IL-13 (8, 40, and 200 ng) and TGF-beta1 (40, 100, and 200 ng) were injected intracerebroventricularly 3 h after the beginning of the light period. In addition, one dose of IL-13 (200 ng) and one dose of TGF-beta1 (200 ng) were injected at dark onset. The two higher doses of IL-13 and the highest dose of TGF-beta1 significantly inhibited spontanenous non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) when they were given in the light period. IL-13 also inhibited NREMS after dark onset administration; however, the inhibitory effect was less potent than that observed after light period administration. The 40-ng dose of IL-13 inhibited REMS duration during the dark period. TGF-beta1 administered at dark onset had no effect on sleep. These data provide additional evidence for the hypothesis that a brain cytokine network is involved in regulation of physiological sleep.

Abstract
The role of the central nervous system in the host response to infection and inflammation and modulation of these responses by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system are well established. In animals, activation of host defense mechanisms increases non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep amount and intensity, which, in turn, are thought to support host defense, or the body's ability to defend itself against challenges to its immune system. In humans, the evidence is conflicting. Therefore, we investigated the effects of three placebo-controlled doses of endotoxin on host response, including nocturnal sleep in healthy volunteers. Administered before nocturnal sleep onset, endotoxin dose dependently increased rectal temperature, heart rate, and the plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, soluble TNF receptors, interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist, IL-6, and cortisol. The lowest dose reliably increased circulating levels of cytokines and soluble cytokine receptors, but it did not affect rectal temperature, heart rate, or cortisol. This subtle host defense activation increased deep NREM sleep amount, often referred to as slow-wave sleep (stages 3 and 4), and intensity (delta power). Conversely, the highest dose of endotoxin disrupted sleep. Whereas it is well established that the endocrine and thermoregulatory systems are very sensitive to endotoxin, this study shows that human sleep-wake behavior is even more sensitive to activation of host defense mechanisms.

Abstract
Anorexia associated with acute illness remains one of the most common, challenging, and difficult symptoms to treat. Surprisingly, little attention has been devoted to development of interventions to reverse this form of anorexia. Although incomplete, current understanding of the mechanisms responsible for illness-induced anorexia is sufficient to suggest therapeutic approaches. In this article, the major physiologic mechanisms underlying illness-induced anorexia are described. In addition, potential moderating effects of social, psychologic, and environmental factors are discussed. This information was used to develop recommendations for the treatment of anorexia. A majority of these interventions, however, are not research based. Further advances in the treatment of illness-induced anorexia will require greater understanding of the complex, interactive effects of psychologic, environmental, and biologic factors on eating behavior during illness. Therefore, areas requiring continued investigation are also outlined.

Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1beta(IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) are involved in sleep regulation. IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that inhibits proinflammatory cytokine production. We hypothesized that IL-10 could attenuate sleep. Thirty-one male rabbits were used. Three doses of IL-10 (5 ng, 50 ng, and 250 ng) were injected intracerebroventricularly during the rest (light) period. One dose of IL-10 (250 ng) was injected during the active (dark) cycle. Appropriate time-matched control injections of saline were given to the same rabbits on different days. The two highest doses of IL-10 significantly inhibited spontaneous nonrapid eye movement sleep if IL-10 was given during the light cycle. The highest dose of IL-10 (250 ng) also significantly decreased rapid eye movement sleep. IL-10 administered at dark onset had no effect on sleep. The sleep inhibitory properties of IL-10 provide additional evidence for the hypothesis that a brain cytokine network is involved in regulation of physiologic sleep.

Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, are involved in sleep regulation. IL-4 is an antiinflammatory cytokine that inhibits proinflammatory cytokine production. The hypothesis that IL-4 should attenuate sleep was studied by determining the effects of IL-4 on rabbit spontaneous sleep. Thirty-six rabbits were used. Four doses of IL-4 (0.25, 2.5, 25, and 250 ng) were injected intracerebroventricularly during the rest (light) period. One dose of IL-4 (25 ng) was injected during the active (dark) cycle. Appropriate time-matched control injections of saline were done in the same rabbits on different days. The three highest doses of IL-4 significantly inhibited spontaneous non-rapid eye movement sleep if IL-4 was given during the light cycle. The highest dose of IL-4 (250 ng) also significantly decreased rapid eye movement sleep. On the other hand, IL-4 administered at dark onset had no effect on sleep. The sleep inhibitory properties of IL-4 provide additional evidence for the hypothesis that a brain cytokine network is involved in the regulation of physiological sleep.

Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-1 and -6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha] function within a complex network, stimulating the release of one another, as well as other cytokine agonists and antagonists. These interactions have not been as widely studied in vivo. Therefore, the following studies measured cytokines in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from juvenile rhesus monkeys after intravenous administration of cytokines. IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta were equally effective in elevating blood levels of IL-6. In contrast, IL-1 beta was the only cytokine that significantly elevated IL-6 levels in the CSF. Interestingly, both IL-1 and IL-6 increased levels of IL-1 receptor antagonist in the blood and comparably stimulated the release of cortisol. A second study confirmed that the IL-1-induced IL-6 in CSF was brain derived and not a result of diffusion from blood. This research extends studies of the cytokine cascade to the central nervous system (CNS), highlighting the brain response to peripheral activation.

Abstract
These data establish that cytokines, such as IL-1, can act on specific receptors within the brain to induce many symptoms of sickness. A number of inflammatory stimuli in the periphery can activate both the transcription and translation of IL-1 within the central nervous system. It will now be important to determine if similar central IL-1 pathways are activated during SLE and whether these central inflammatory cytokines are involved in the neurologic complications that often accompany this disease.

Abstract
During inflammation of the central or peripheral nervous system, a high number of immunologically active molecules, including bacterial or viral products as well as host-derived cytokines, are released. Patients suffering from inflammatory CNS or PNS diseases often develop transient symptoms with a rapid recovery, which obviously cannot be accounted for by immunologically induced tissue damage. These observations led to the hypothesis that immunologically active molecules can affect directly the electrophysiological functions of neurons and glial cells. Evidence for this hypothesis came from in vitro studies showing that cytokines, such as interleukins or tumor necrosis factors, arachidonic acid and its metabolites, interfere with electrophysiological properties of neurons or glial cells. These molecules affect ion currents, intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, membrane potentials, and suppress or enhance the induction and maintenance of long-term potentiation. Similarly, virus proteins from human immunodeficiency virus type I were found to alter intracellular Ca2+ concentrations of neurons and astrocytes by modulating either transmitter receptors and channels or membrane transporters. Cerebrospinal fluid from MS patients contains factors which increase Na+ current inactivation and thereby reduce neuronal excitability. Immunoglobulins in sera of patients suffering from multifocal motor neuropathy and from acquired neuromyotonia interfere with nerve fibers, inducing alterations of conduction. Increased knowledge of these mechanisms will help to explain the pathogenesis of neurological symptoms and may provide a rationale for new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Recently, we developed a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to rat IL-1 beta and found that MoAbs binding to the aminoacid sequences 66-85 and 123-143 of mature rIL-1 beta inhibited the binding of rIL-1 beta to murine EL4 cells. Here we study whether MoAbs to these and other domains of IL-1 interfere with the biological effects of rIL-1 beta in adult male rats in vivo. Administration of rIL-1 beta (1 or 5 micrograms/kg i.v.) enhanced the plasma concentrations of ACTH, corticosterone (CORT) and of IL-6 in a time- (0.5-4 h) and dose-dependent manner. Because 2 h after 5 micrograms/kg i.v., all three parameters were consistently elevated, this dose and time interval was used for further studies. Prior to injection, rIL-1 beta was incubated alone or in the presence of a MoAb (10 mg/kg) for 30 min at 37 degrees C or at 4 degrees C. Plasma ACTH, CORT and IL-6 responses to these mixtures are compared to those obtained after preincubation of rIL-1 beta with a non-IL-1 binding MoAb (PEN7). SILK 3, a MoAb that binds to the 66-85 domain of rIL-1 beta, reduced the ACTH and IL-6 responses by 48 and 45% respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The objective of this study was to characterize interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) production by human peripheral blood neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes; PMN). Unstimulated PMN contained IL-1ra protein in the absence of IL-1ra mRNA; IL-1 beta mRNA and protein were undetectable. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), individually, transiently increased IL-1ra steady-state mRNA levels in PMN, with associated increases in IL-1ra protein synthesis. LPS, GM-CSF, and TNF-alpha generated similar increases in IL-1 beta mRNA, yet only LPS resulted in detectable synthesis of IL-1 beta protein. IL-4 enhanced LPS-induced IL-1ra production by PMN and inhibited LPS-induced IL-1 beta production. by PMN and inhibited LPS-induced IL-1 beta production. IL-1ra protein present within stimulated PMN supernatants existed in the 22- to 25-kD glycosylated form. Polymerase chain reaction amplification determined that only sIL-1ra mRNA was present within stimulated PMN; icIL-1ra mRNA was undetectable. These results indicate that freshly isolated PMN possess a small amount of IL-1ra protein and that these cells can respond to stimuli with a low level of sIL-1ra transcription and translation. PMN may be a major source of IL-1ra in inflammatory exudates where these cells predominate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure synovial fluid (SF) levels of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) and to determine the capacity of SF neutrophils (PMN) to synthesize and release IL-1ra. METHODS A sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure SF IL-1ra protein concentrations and IL-1ra production by isolated SF PMN: RESULTS SF IL-1ra levels were elevated in 13 of 16 samples from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (mean 17.1 ng/ml), in 6 of 18 samples from patients with infectious or inflammatory, non-RA arthropathies (mean 10.6 ng/ml), and in none of 11 noninflammatory SF samples. SF IL-1ra levels correlated with SF PMN concentrations (r = 0.680, P < 0.00001). Isolated SF PMN contained preexisting IL-1ra protein in the absence of messenger RNA (mRNA). In addition, both lipopolysaccharide and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor induced modest increases in IL-1ra mRNA by cultured SF-PMN. CONCLUSION IL-1ra levels are increased in > 80% of RA SF samples. SF PMN produce IL-1ra, possibly contributing to the levels of IL-1ra present within the SF.

Abstract
IL-1ra is the first described naturally occurring receptor antagonist of any cytokine or hormone-like molecule. IL-1ra is a member of the IL-1 family by three criteria: amino acid sequence homology of 26 to 30% to IL-1 beta and 19% to IL-1 alpha; similarities in gene structure; and common gene localization to human chromosome 2q14. Two structural variants of IL-1ra exist: sIL-1ra, a secretory molecule produced by monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, fibroblasts, and other cells; and icIL-1ra, an intracellular molecule produced by keratinocytes and other epithelial cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts. IL-1ra production by monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils may be regulated in a differential fashion with IL-1 beta. Human IL-1ra binds to both human IL-1RIs and IL-1RIIs on cell surfaces, although with 100-fold greater avidity to IL-1RIs. IL-1ra may bind preferentially to soluble IL-1RIs and not at all to soluble IL-1RIIs. IL-1ra competitively inhibits binding of both IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta to cell surface receptors without inducing any discernible intracellular responses. All three forms of IL-1 may bind to IL-1 receptors in a similar fashion but IL-1ra may lack the secondary interactions necessary to trigger cell responses. A 100-fold or greater excess of IL-1ra over IL-1 may be necessary to inhibit biological responses to IL-1 both in vitro and in vivo. The roles of sIL-1ra and icIL-1ra in normal physiology or in host defense mechanisms remain unclear. The administration of IL-1ra blocks the effects of IL-1 in some animal models of septic shock, inflammatory arthritis, graft-versus-host disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. The preliminary results of clinical trials in humans indicate possible efficacy of IL-1ra in sepsis syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and GVHD.
