Abstract
Interleukin-1 receptor type 2 (IL1R2) is a decoy receptor for exogenous IL-1. However, its functional role in chicken immunity is poorly understood. Herein, chicken IL-1R2 (chIL-1R2) was identified and functionally characterized in vivo and in vitro. The chIL-1R2 coding sequence includes 1,236 nucleotides encoding 412 amino acids, is highly conserved, and has a close relationship with its mammalian counterpart. Its extracellular region has three Ig-like domains but no TIR domain for intracellular signaling. Using ELISA, the recombinant chIL-1R2 protein was demonstrated to specifically bind to the chicken IL-1β. ChIL-1R2 mRNA expression was shown to be higher in the spleen, lung, kidney, small intestine, and liver. The expression of chIL-1R2 and chIL-1R1 was significantly upregulated in DF-1 cells treated with poly (I:C), but significantly downregulated in the presence of NF-κB, JNK, and MEK inhibitors, indicating that the NF-κB, JNK, and MEK signaling pathways are required for the transcriptional regulation of chIL-1R1 and chIL-1R2 expression. It is worth noting that while the p30 MAPK pathway was required for chIL-1R1 expression, it was not required for chIL-1R2 expression. Furthermore, chIL-1R2 expression increased as early as day 1, and then significantly decreased until day 3, while chIL-1R1 was dramatically upregulated in four organs of chickens infected with the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV). These findings indicate that chIL-1R1 and chIL-1R2 may play a crucial in innate and adaptive immune responses toward HPAIV infection. In summary the present study showed that chIL-1R2 binds to chIL-1β antibody. ChIL-1R2 expression can be induced by a viral infection, and may be regulated through NF-κB/JNK/MEK-mediated signaling pathways.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease that may undergo periods of activity followed by remission. We aimed to identify the endogenous regulatory mechanisms that may promote disease remission. Transcriptional and protein analysis of the intestinal mucosa revealed that the IL-1 decoy receptor, interleukin-1 receptor type 2 (IL1R2), was upregulated in remission compared with active UC and controls. We identified epithelial cells as being responsible for increased IL-1R2 production during remission. Expression of IL1R2 was negatively regulated by Wnt/beta-catenin signals in colonic crypts or epithelial stem cell cultures; accordingly, epithelial stem cells upregulated IL-1R2 upon differentiation. Blocking IL-1R2 in isolated colonic crypt cultures of UC patients in remission and T-cell cultures stimulated with biopsy supernatant from UC patients in remission boosted IL-1β-dependent production of inflammation-related cytokines. Finally, IL1R2 transcription was significantly lower in patients that relapsed during a 1-year follow-up period compared with those in endoscopic remission. Collectively, our results reveal that the IL-1/IL-1R2 axis is differentially regulated in the remitting intestinal mucosa of UC patients. We hypothesize that IL-1R2 in the presence of low concentrations of IL-1β may act locally as a regulator of intestinal homeostasis.

8,9-Dehydrohispanolone-15,16-lactol diterpene prevents LPS-triggered inflammatory responses by inhibiting endothelial activation. Biochem J 2016; 473:2061-71.

Abstract
Endothelial activation contributes to lung inflammatory disorders by inducing leucocyte recruitment to pulmonary parenchyma. Consequently, vascular-targeted therapies constitute promising strategies for the treatment of inflammatory pathologies. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of 8,9-dehydrohispanolone-15,16-lactol diterpene (DT) on lung endothelium during inflammation. Lung endothelial cells pre-treated with DT and activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) exhibited reduced expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines Cxcl10, Ccl5 and Cxcl1, whereas the anti-inflammatory molecules IL1r2 and IL-10 were induced. Consistent with this result, DT pre-treatment inhibited nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) nuclear translocation, by interfering with IκBα phosphorylation, and consequently NF-κB transcriptional activity in endothelium activated by LPS or TNF-α. Furthermore, DT, probably through p38 signalling, induced transcriptional activation of genes containing activator protein 1 (AP-1)-binding elements. Inhibition of p38 prevented IL1r2 mRNA expression in endothelium incubated with DT alone or in combination with LPS or TNF-α. Accordingly, conditioned medium (CM) from these cells failed to stimulate leucocytes as measured by a reduction in adhesive ability of the leucocyte cell line J774 to fibronectin (FN). Additionally, DT reduced the expression of the endothelial adhesion molecules E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) after activation. Similarly, expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 molecules on the lung endothelial layer of C57/BL6 mice pre-treated with DT and challenged with LPS were unchanged. Finally, inhibition of vascular adhesion molecule expression by DT decreased the interaction of J774 cells with lung endothelial cells in an inflammatory environment. Our findings establish DT as a novel endothelial inhibitor for the treatment of inflammatory-related diseases triggered by Gram-negative bacteria or by the associated cytokine TNF-α.

Abstract
The cytokine IL-1 is critical to the pathogenesis of a variety of human conditions and diseases. Unlike most other cytokines, IL-1 is counterbalanced by two endogenous inhibitors. The functional significance of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) is well documented due to the clinical utilization of the recombinant human IL-1RA analog, anakinra. In contrast, much less is known about the type 2 IL-1 receptor (IL-1R2), which acts as a decoy receptor for IL-1. While IL-1R2 is structurally similar to the type 1 IL-1 receptor (IL-1R1) responsible for IL-1 signal transduction, its truncated cytoplasmic domain and lack of Toll-IL-1 receptor (TIR) region renders IL-1R2 incapable of transmembrane signaling. IL-1R2 competes with IL-1R1 for ligands and for the IL-1R1 co-receptor, IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP). Additionally, IL-1R2 exists in both a membrane bound and soluble form (sIL-1R2) that has biological properties similar to both a decoy receptor and a binding protein. Thus far, IL-1R2 has been implicated in arthritis, endometriosis, organ transplantation, sepsis/sickness behavior, diabetes, atherosclerosis, autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED), Alzheimer's disease and ulcerative colitis. In this review, we will detail the functional properties of IL-1R2 and examine its role in human disease.

Abstract
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a life-threatening autoimmune disease of skin adhesion associated with IgG autoantibodies against keratinocytes (KC). Treatment of PV with systemic corticosteroids is life-saving, but the mechanism of the therapeutic action has not been fully understood. We have developed an animal model that demonstrates that methylprednisolone (MP) can block PV IgG-induced acantholysis, decreasing the extent of keratinocyte detachment in the epidermis of 3-5-day-old nude mice from 77.5 +/- 0.6 to 24.1 +/- 1.5% (p < 0.05). We hypothesized that in addition to immunosuppression, MP may exhibit direct anti-acantholytic effects in epidermis, and we compared the effects of PV IgG and MP on KC. The use of DNA microarray showed that PV IgG down-regulated and MP up-regulated expression of the genes encoding keratinocyte adhesion molecules, antigen-processing proteins, regulators of cell cycle and apoptosis, differentiation markers, Na+,K+-ATPase, protein kinases and phosphatases, and serine proteases and their inhibitors. Overall, PV IgG decreased transcription of 198 genes and increased transcription of 31 genes. MP decreased transcription of 14 genes and increased transcription of 818 genes. Specific effects of PV IgG and MP on keratinocyte adhesion molecules were further investigated by Western blot and immunofluorescence assays. By immunoblotting, MP increased the protein levels of E-cadherin and desmogleins 1 and 3 by 300, 180, and 40%, respectively. Specific staining of KC for E-cadherin and desmogleins 1 and 3 increased by 235, 228, and 148%, respectively. In addition, PV IgG increased the level of phosphorylation of E-cadherin by 42%, beta-catenin by 37%, gamma-catenin by 136%, and desmoglein 3 by 300%, whereas pretreatment with 0.25 mm MP abolished phosphorylation of these adhesion molecules. These results suggested that therapeutic effects of MP in PV include both the up-regulated synthesis and post-translational modification of the keratinocyte adhesion molecules.

Abstract
Aberrations in neural signaling, converging to and diverging from oxidative metabolism and blood supply, contribute to the initiation and maintenance of inflammatory responses, neuronal degeneration, and age-related cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hypoxia/ischemia triggers phospholipase A2, leading to the accumulation of free arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids (AA, DHA), as well as that of lysophospholipids. Some of these bioactive lipid messengers in turn give rise to several downstream lipid messengers, such as platelet-activating factor (PAF) and ecosanoids (prostaglandins and leukotrienes). Eicosanoid synthesis is highly regulated in hypoxia and in reperfusion subsequent to ischemia. As one of the consequences, mitochondrial function is disrupted and reactive oxygen species (ROS) both contribute to the expansion of cellular inflammatory responses and reduce the expression of genes required to maintain synaptic structure and function. On the other hand, pro-inflammatory genes are up-regulated. One of these, the inducible cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), along with oxygen-starved mitochondria, comprise the major sources of ROS in the brain during hypoxia, ischemia, and reperfusion. One outcome is a sustained metabolic stress that drives progressive dysfunction, apoptosis and/or necrosis, and brain cell death. How hypoxia modulates oxygen-sensitive gene expression is not well understood. Pro-inflammatory gene families that contribute to neurodegeneration are transiently activated in part by the heterodimeric oxygen-sensitive DNA-binding proteins nuclear factor for kappa B (NF-kappaB) and hypoxia-inducible factor-alpha (HIF-1alpha). Here the authors summarize current studies supporting the hypothesis that synaptically-derived lipid messengers play significant roles in ischemic stroke and that hypoxia is an important contributor to the onset and progression of AD neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are used as immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory agents in treating organ transplantation rejection, autoimmune diseases, (hematological) cancers, and inflammatory disorders. GCs exert their effects through a multitude of mechanisms, the most significant of which is inhibition of cytokine production, and for some cytokines their effects on target cells. Paradoxically, GCs also upregulate the expression of (pro-inflammatory) high-affinity cytokine receptors on target cells in the face of lost ligand (cytokine) stimulation. GC inhibition of cytokine expression occurs at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. GCs acted transcriptionally by binding their cytosolic receptor (GR), thereby facilitating its nuclear translocation and subsequent binding to the promoter region of cytokine genes on sites compatible with GC response element (GRE) motifs, which in turn directly or indirectly regulated gene expression. In addition to direct DNA binding, GCs acted post-transcriptionally by: (1) antagonism of nuclear factors required for efficient gene expression either directly or through induction of the expression of specific transcription factor antagonists, (2) altered Th lineage development by favouring the generation of (anti-inflammatory) Th2 cells and suppressing the induction or the activity of established (pro-inflammatory) Th1 cells, and (3) stimulating the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, an immunosuppressive cytokine which inhibited cytokine production. However, these mechanisms are not mutually exclusive, since GCs may utilize more than one mechanism in exerting their anti-proliferative effect.

Abstract
We recently reported that glucosamine reversed the decrease in proteoglycan synthesis and in UDP-glucuronosyltransferase I mRNA expression induced by interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) [Arthritis Rheum. 44 (2001) 351-360]. In the present work, we show that glucosamine does not exert the same effects when chondrocytes were stimulated with reactive oxygen species (ROS). In order to better understand its mechanism of action, we determined if glucosamine could prevent the binding of IL-1 beta to its cellular receptors or could interfere with its signaling pathway at a post-receptor level. Addition of glucosamine to rat chondrocytes treated with IL-1 beta or with ROS decreased the activation of the nuclear factor kappa B, but not the activator protein-1. After treatment with IL-1 beta, glucosamine increased the expression of mRNA encoding the type II IL-1 beta receptor. These results emphasize the potential role of two regulating proteins of the IL-1 beta signaling pathway that could account for the beneficial effect of glucosamine in osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, neurodestructive process of the human neocortex, characterized by the deterioration of memory and higher cognitive function. A progressive and irreversible brain disorder, AD is characterized by three major pathogenic episodes involving (a) an aberrant processing and deposition of beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) to form neurotoxic beta-amyloid (betaA) peptides and an aggregated insoluble polymer of betaA that forms the senile plaque, (b) the establishment of intraneuronal neuritic tau pathology yielding widespread deposits of agyrophilic neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) and (c) the initiation and proliferation of a brain-specific inflammatory response. These three seemingly disperse attributes of AD etiopathogenesis are linked by the fact that proinflammatory microglia, reactive astrocytes and their associated cytokines and chemokines are associated with the biology of the microtubule associated protein tau, betaA speciation and aggregation. Missense mutations in the presenilin genes PS1 and PS2, implicated in early onset familial AD, cause abnormal betaAPP processing with resultant overproduction of betaA42 and related neurotoxic peptides. Specific betaA fragments such as betaA42 can further potentiate proinflammatory mechanisms. Expression of the inducible oxidoreductase cyclooxygenase-2 and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) are strongly activated during cerebral ischemia and trauma, epilepsy and AD, indicating the induction of proinflammatory gene pathways as a response to brain injury. Neurotoxic metals such as aluminum and zinc, both implicated in AD etiopathogenesis, and arachidonic acid, a major metabolite of brain cPLA2 activity, each polymerize hyperphosphorylated tau to form NFT-like bundles. Further, epidemiological and longitudinal studies have identified a reduced risk for AD in patients (<70 yrs) previously treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for non-CNS afflictions that include arthritis. This review will focus on the interrelationships between the mechanisms of PS1, PS2 and betaAPP gene expression, tau and betaA deposition and the induction, regulation and proliferation in AD of the neuroinflammatory response. Novel therapeutic interventions in AD are discussed.
