Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction is an important cardiovascular disease worldwide. Although the mortality rate of myocardial infarction (MI) has improved dramatically in recent years due to timely treatment, adverse remodeling of the left ventricle continues to affect cardiac function. Various immune cells are involved in this process to induce inflammation and amplification. The infiltration of inflammatory cells in the infarcted myocardium is induced by various cytokines and chemokines, and the recruitment of leukocytes further amplifies the inflammatory response. As an increasing number of clinical anti-inflammatory therapies have achieved significant success in recent years, treating myocardial infarction by targeting inflammation may become a novel therapeutic option. In particular, successful clinical trials of canakinumab have demonstrated the important role of the inflammatory factor interleukin-1 (IL-1) in atherosclerosis. Targeted IL-1 therapy may decrease inflammation levels and improve cardiac function in patients after myocardial infarction. This article reviews the complex series of responses after myocardial infarction, including the involvement of inflammatory cells and the role of cytokines and chemokines, focusing on the progression of the IL-1 family in myocardial infarction as well as the performance of current targeted therapy drugs in experiments.

Decreased Expression of EZH2 in Granulosa Cells Contributes to Endometriosis-Associated Infertility by Targeting IL-1R2. Endocrinology 2022; 164:6916877.

Abstract
The mechanism by which endometriosis, a common gynecological disease characterized by chronic pelvic pain and infertility, causes infertility remains elusive. Luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome, the most common type of ovulatory dysfunction, is a cause of endometriosis-associated infertility involving reduced numbers of retrieved and mature oocytes. Ovulation is controlled by luteinizing hormone and paracrine signals produced within the follicle microenvironment. Generally, interleukin (IL)-1β is elevated in endometriosis follicular fluid, whereby it amplifies ovulation signals by activating extracellular-regulated kinase 1/2 and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β pathways. However, this amplification of ovulation by IL-1β does not occur in patients with endometriosis. To illuminate the mechanism of ovulatory dysfunction in endometriosis, we analyzed the effect of oxidative stress and IL-1β expression on endometriosis follicles. We found that oxidative stress decreased EZH2 expression and reduced H3K27Me3 levels in endometriosis ovarian granulosa cells (GCs). Selective Ezh2 depletion in mice ovarian GCs reduced fertility by disturbing cumulus-oocyte complex expansion and reducing epidermal growth factor-like factor expression. Gene expression and H3K27Me3 ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) of GCs revealed IL-1 receptor 2 (IL-1R2), a high-affinity IL-1β-receptor that suppresses IL-1β-mediated inflammatory cascades during ovulation, as a crucial target gene of the EZH2-H3K27Me3 axis. Moreover, IL-1β addition did not restore ovulation upon Ezh2 knockdown, indicating a vital function of IL-1R2 in endometriosis. Thus, our findings show that reducing EZH2 and H3K27Me3 in GCs suppressed ovulatory signals by increasing IL-1R2 expression, which may ultimately contribute to endometriosis-associated infertility.

Abstract
Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) is an opportunistic pathogen that is common in livestock and poultry and leads to massive economic losses in the animal husbandry sector. In this study, we challenged mice with P. multocida strain HN02 by intraperitoneal injection and collected spleens to measure bacterial loads. We also performed histopathological analysis by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Then we used RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) to detect the mRNA expression levels in the mouse spleen and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to verify the sequencing data. Finally, we examined the effect of HN02 on anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) protein expression in the spleen through immunohistochemical analysis. The results showed that compared to those in the control group, the mouse spleens in the challenge group had lesions, and the average bacteria loads was (3.07 ± 1.09) × 106 CFU (colony-forming unit)/g. The RNA-seq results determined 3653 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and the qRT-PCR analysis revealed immune-related genes consistent with the expression trend in the sequencing data. The number and area of IL-10 positive cells substantially increased to resist inflammation in the challenge group. In conclusion, we analyzed the spleens of mice infected with P. multocida from multiple perspectives, and our findings lay a foundation for subsequent studies on the mechanism of pathogen-host interactions.

Abstract
The majority of interleukin-1 (IL-1) family cytokines lack amino terminal secretion signals or transmembrane domains for secretion along the conventional biosynthetic pathway. Yet, these factors must be translocated from the cytoplasm across the plasma membrane into the extracellular space in order to regulate inflammation. Recent work has identified an array of mechanisms by which IL-1 family cytokines can be released into the extracellular space, with supramolecular organizing centers known as inflammasomes serving as dominant drivers of this process. In this review, we discuss current knowledge of the mechanisms of IL-1 family cytokine synthesis, processing, and release from cells. Using this knowledge, we propose a model whereby host metabolic state dictates the route of IL-1β secretion, with implications for microbial infection and sterile inflammation.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a primary cytokine of innate immunity and inflammation. IL-1 belongs to a complex family including ligands with agonist activity, receptor antagonists, and an anti-inflammatory cytokine. The receptors for these ligands, the IL-1 Receptor (IL-1R) family, include signaling receptor complexes, decoy receptors, and negative regulators. Agonists and regulatory molecules co-evolved, suggesting the evolutionary relevance of a tight control of inflammatory responses, which ensures a balance between amplification of innate immunity and uncontrolled inflammation. IL-1 family members interact with innate immunity cells promoting innate immunity, as well as with innate and adaptive lymphoid cells, contributing to their differentiation and functional polarization and plasticity. Here we will review the properties of two key regulatory receptors of the IL-1 system, IL-1R2, the first decoy receptor identified, and IL-1R8, a pleiotropic regulator of different IL-1 family members and co-receptor for IL-37, the anti-inflammatory member of the IL-1 family. Their complex impact in pathology, ranging from infections and inflammatory responses, to cancer and neurologic disorders, as well as clinical implications and potential therapeutic exploitation will be presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have suggested a connection between a decrease in the levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We aimed to assess the effect of supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FAs) on biomarkers analyzed in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients diagnosed with AD. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of daily supplementation with 2.3 g of PUFAs in AD patients on the biomarkers in CSF described below. We also explored the possible correlation between these biomarkers and the performance in the cognitive test Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). METHODS Thirty-three patients diagnosed with AD were randomized to either treatment with a daily intake of 2.3 g of n-3 FAs (n = 18) or placebo (n = 15). CSF samples were collected at baseline and after six months of treatment, and the following biomarkers were analyzed: Aβ 38, Aβ 40, Aβ 42, t-tau, p-tau, neurofilament light (NfL), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), soluble IL-1 receptor type II (sIL-1RII), and IL-6. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the groups concerning the level of the different biomarkers in the CSF at baseline. Within the treatment group, there was a small but significant increase in both YKL-40 (p = 0.04) and NfL (p = 0.03), while the other CSF biomarkers remained stable. CONCLUSION Supplementation with n-3 FAs had a statistically significant effect on NfL and YKL-40, resulting in an increase of both biomarkers, indicating a possible increase of inflammatory response and axonal damage. This increase in biomarkers did not correlate with MMSE score.

Abstract
The interleukin (IL)-1 family member IL-1α is a ubiquitous and pivotal pro-inflammatory cytokine. The IL-1α precursor is constitutively present in nearly all cell types in health, but is released upon necrotic cell death as a bioactive mediator. IL-1α is also expressed by infiltrating myeloid cells within injured tissues. The cytokine binds the IL-1 receptor 1 (IL-1R1), as does IL-1β, and induces the same pro-inflammatory effects. Being a bioactive precursor released upon tissue damage and necrotic cell death, IL-1α is central to the pathogenesis of numerous conditions characterized by organ or tissue inflammation. These include conditions affecting the lung and respiratory tract, dermatoses and inflammatory skin disorders, systemic sclerosis, myocarditis, pericarditis, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, inflammatory thrombosis, as well as complex multifactorial conditions such as COVID-19, vasculitis and Kawasaki disease, Behcet's syndrome, Sjogren Syndrome, and cancer. This review illustrates the clinical relevance of IL-1α to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, as well as the rationale for the targeted inhibition of this cytokine for treatment of these conditions. Three biologics are available to reduce the activities of IL-1α; the monoclonal antibody bermekimab, the IL-1 soluble receptor rilonacept, and the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra. These advances in mechanistic understanding and therapeutic management make it incumbent on physicians to be aware of IL-1α and of the opportunity for therapeutic inhibition of this cytokine in a broad spectrum of diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal cancer (EC) is the sixth leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and the overall incidence is increasing. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in IL1R2 and EC risk in the Chinese population. METHODS Genotyping of six SNPs of IL1R2 was performed with the Agena MassARRAY platform from 384 EC and 499 controls. The association between polymorphisms and EC risk was assessed by performing genetics models and haplotype analyses. RESULTS Overall analysis results showed that the allele C of rs11674595 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-1.77, p = 0.002) and allele G of rs2072472 (allele: OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.08-1.69, p = 0.008) were associated with an increased EC risk. The rs11674595 and rs2072472 were found to be correlated with EC risk under the codominant, dominant, and additive models. Stratification analysis found that rs11674595 and rs2072472 were associated with increased EC risk in male and in age > 55 years old subgroup. In addition, Crs11674595Grs4851527 haplotype was significantly associated with 1.44-fold increased risk of EC (95% CI: 1.12-1.84, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION Our results reveal the significant association between SNPs (rs11674595 and rs2072472) in the IL1R2 and EC risk in the Chinese Han population. The findings may provide meaningful reference for the prevention and treatment of EC.

Abstract
Ovulation is considered an inflammatory, cytokine-mediated event. Cytokines, which are recognized as growth factors with immunoregulatory properties, are involved in many cellular processes at the ovarian level. In this sense, cytokines affect fertility and are involved in the development of different ovarian disorders such as bovine cystic ovarian disease (COD). Because it has been previously demonstrated that ovarian cells represent both sources and targets of cytokines, the aim of this study was to examine the expression of several cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-1RA, IL-1RI, IL-1RII, IL-4 and IL-8, in ovarian follicular structures from cows with spontaneous COD. The protein expression of these cytokines was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Additionally, IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-8 concentrations in follicular fluid (FF) and serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In granulosa and theca cells, IL-1RI, IL-1RII, IL-1RA and IL-4 expression levels were higher in cystic follicles than in the control dominant follicles. The serum and FF concentrations of IL-1β and IL-4 showed no differences between groups, whereas IL-8 concentration was detected only in FF of cysts from cows with COD. The FF and serum concentrations of IL-1β and IL-8 showed no significant differences, whereas IL-4 concentration was higher in FF than in serum in both the control and COD groups. These results evidenced an altered expression of cytokines in ovaries of cows with COD that could contribute to the pathogenesis of this disease.

Abstract
The proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β plays critical roles in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. IL-1β signaling is tightly regulated to avoid excessive inflammatory response. In this study, we identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase membrane-associated RING-CH-type finger 3 (MARCH3) as a critical negative regulator of IL-1β-triggered signaling. Overexpression of MARCH3 inhibited IL-1β-triggered activation of NF-κB as well as expression of inflammatory genes, whereas MARCH3 deficiency had the opposite effects. MARCH3-deficient mice produced higher levels of serum inflammatory cytokines and were more sensitive to inflammatory death upon IL-1β injection or Listeria monocytogenes infection. Mechanistically, MARCH3 was associated with IL-1 receptor I (IL-1RI) and mediated its K48-linked polyubiquitination at K409 and lysosomal-dependent degradation. Furthermore, IL-1β stimulation triggered dephosphorylation of MARCH3 by CDC25A and activation of its E3 ligase activity. Our findings suggest that MARCH3-mediated IL-1RI degradation is an important mechanism for attenuating IL-1β-triggered inflammatory response.

Regulation of IL-1 signaling by the decoy receptor IL-1R2. J Mol Med (Berl) 2018; 96:983-992.

Abstract
The pleiotropic cytokine IL-1 mediates its biological functions via association with the signaling receptor IL-1R1. Despite an apparent simplicity in IL-1 signaling activation, multiple negative regulators have been identified. The decoy receptor IL-1R2 (also known as CD121b) can suppress IL-1 maturation, sequester its active forms or hinder the signaling complex assembly. IL-1R2 is differentially expressed among numerous cell types and displays cis- and trans- modes of action. In this review, we link different forms of IL-1R2 (membrane-bound (mIL-1R2), secreted (sIL-1R2), shedded (shIL-1R2), cytoplasmic, and intracellular domain (IL-1R2ICD) restricted) with their ability to interfere with IL-1, thereby regulating immune responses. We also discuss the intriguing possible function of IL-1R2 as a transcriptional regulator. Finally, we summarize the known impact of IL-1R2 in disease pathogenesis and discuss its potential role in treatment of inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 receptor family members (ILRs) and Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) are key players in immunity and inflammation and are tightly regulated at different levels. Most cell types, including cells of the innate and adaptive immune system express ILRs and TLRs. In addition, IL-1 family members are emerging as key players in the differentiation and function of innate and adaptive lymphoid cells. IL-1R2 and IL-1R8 (also known as TIR8 or SIGIRR) are members of the ILR family acting as negative regulators of the IL-1 system. IL-1R2 binds IL-1 and the accessory protein IL-1RAcP without activating signaling and can be released as a soluble form (sIL-1R2), thus modulating IL-1 availability for the signaling receptor. IL-1R8 dampens ILR- and TLR-mediated cell activation and it is a component of the receptor recognizing human IL-37. Here, we summarize our current understanding of the structure and function of IL-1R2 and IL-1R8, focusing on their role in different pathological conditions, ranging from infectious and sterile inflammation, to autoimmunity and cancer-related inflammation. We also address the emerging evidence regarding the role of IL-1R8 as a crucial checkpoint molecule in NK cells in anti-cancer and antiviral activity and the potential therapeutic implications of IL-1R8 blockade in specific pathological contexts.

Front Pharmacol 2017; 8:282.

Abstract
Background: Innate immune response components such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) and NLRP3-inflammasome act in concert to increase IL-1α/β secretion by synovial macrophages. Previous results suggest that IL-1α/β could be an important mediator involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-1α in the menisectomy (MNX) model of murine OA. Methods: Murine chondrocytes (CHs) and bone marrow-derived machrophages (BMDM) were stimulated with hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals, a form of calcium-containing crystal found in human OA, and IL-1β and IL-6 secretion assayed by ELISA.Conversely, the ability of IL-1β and IL-6 to induce CHs calcification was assessed in vitro by Alizarin red staining. Knees from 8 to 10 weeks old C57Bl/6J wild-type (WT) (n = 7), NLRP3-/- (n = 9), IL-1α-/- (n = 5), and IL-1β-/- (n = 5) mice were menisectomized, using the sham-operated contralateral knee as control. 8 weeks later, knee cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation were evaluated by histology. In addition, apoptotic chondrocytes, metalloproteases activity, and collagen-type 2 expression were evaluated in all mice. Joint calcification and subchondral bone parameters were quantified by CT-scan in WT and IL-1β-/- menisectomized knees. Results:In vitro, HA crystals induced significant increased IL-6 secretion by CHs, while IL-1β remained undetectable.Conversely, both IL-6 and IL-1β were able to increase chondrocytes mineralization. In vivo, operated knees exhibited OA features compared to sham-operated knees as evidenced by increased cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation. In menisectomized KO mice, severity and extent of cartilage lesions were similar (IL-1α-/- mice) or exacerbated (IL-1β-/- and NLRP3-/- mice) compared to that of menisectomized WT mice. Metalloproteases activity, collagen-type 2 expression, chondrocytes apoptosis, and synovial inflammation were similar between KO and WT mice menisectomized knees. Moreover, the extent of joint calcification in osteoarthritic knees was comparable between IL-1β-/- and WT mice. Conclusions: MNX knees recapitulated features of OA, i.e, cartilage destruction, synovial inflammation, cell death, and joint calcification. Deficiency of IL-1α did not impact on the severity of these features, whereas deficiency of IL-1β or of NLRP3 led to increased cartilage erosion. Our results suggest that IL-1α and IL-1β are not key mediators in this murine OA model and may explain the inefficiency of IL-1 targeted therapies in OA.

Abstract
IL-1R2 was the first decoy receptor to be described. Subsequently receptors which act as pure decoys or scavengers or trigger dampening of cytokine signaling have been described for cytokines and chemokines. Here we review the current understanding of the mode of action and significance in pathology of the chemokine atypical receptor ACKR2, the IL-1 decoy receptor IL-1R2 and the atypical IL-1 receptor family IL-1R8. Decoy and scavenger receptors with no or atypical signaling have emerged as a general strategy conserved in evolution to tune the action of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors.

Abstract
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a member of the Flaviviridae family. BVDV isolates are classified into two biotypes based on the development of cytopathic (cp) or non-cytopathic (ncp) effects in epithelial cell culture. BVDV isolates are further separated into species, BVDV1 and 2, based on genetic differences. Symptoms of BVDV infection range from subclinical to severe, depending on strain virulence, and may involve multiple organ systems and induction of a generalized immunosuppression. During BVDV-induced immune suppression, macrophages, critical to innate immunity, may have altered pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) signaling, including signaling through toll-like receptors (TLRs). Comparison of BVDV 2 strains with different biotypes and virulence levels is valuable to determining if there are differences in host macrophage cellular responses between viral phenotypes. The current study demonstrates that cytopathic (cp), noncytopathic (ncp), high (hv) or low virulence (lv) BVDV2 infection of bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMΦ) result in differential expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to uninfected MDMΦ. A hallmark of cp BVDV2 infection is IL-6 production. In response to TLR2 or 4 ligation, as might be observed during secondary bacterial infection, cytokine secretion was markedly decreased in BVDV2-infected MDMΦ, compared to non-infected MDMΦ. Macrophages were hyporesponsive to viral TLR3 or TLR8 ligation. However, TLR7 stimulation of BVDV2-infected MDMΦ induced cytokine secretion, unlike results observed for other TLRs. Together, these data suggest that BVDV2 infection modulated mRNA responses and induced a suppression of proinflammatory cytokine protein responses to TLR ligation in MDMΦ with the exception of TLR7 ligation. It is likely that there are distinct differences in TLR pathways modulated following BVDV2 infection, which have implications for macrophage responses to secondary infections.

Abstract
Interleukin 1 (IL-1 β) and the system for regulation of its biological effects play an important role in the development and behavior of inflammatory processes in atopic dermatitis. Notably, cells that are actively involved in the pathological process have altered expression of cytokine receptors. However, standard evaluation of cells by flow cytometry measures only the percentage of cells expressing the appropriate marker, which is not enough for a full assessment of these changes. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the expression of IL-1β cytokine receptors in patients with atopic dermatitis by both percentage of cells with receptors in various subsets and the absolute number of membrane-bound receptors themselves. It was found that an increase or decrease in the percentage of cells expressing the receptors in subsets of immune cells in patients with atopic dermatitis was not associated with a change in the number of receptors on the cell surface. Moreover, the changes in the percentage of cells and the number of receptors may occur in different directions, as shown for IL-1R2 expression on B cells and IL-1R1 expression for monocytes. Changes in the parameters of IL-1β receptor expressions are associated with disease severity index SCORAD in atopic dermatitis. These findings underline the importance of studying the density of cytokine receptor expression in the pathology.

Abstract
IL-1β is involved in the induction and maintenance of chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Its activity is regulated and induced by soluble and membrane-bound receptors, respectively. The effectiveness of the cytokine depends not only on the percentage of receptor-positive cells in an immunocompetent subset but also on the density of receptor expression. The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of IL-1β membrane-bound receptors (IL-1R1 and IL-1R2) in terms of the percentage of receptor-positive cells and the number of receptors per cell in different subsets of immune cells in RA patients before and after a course of basic (excluding anticytokine) therapy and in healthy individuals. The resulting data indicate differences in the expression of IL-1β receptors among T cells, B cells, and monocytes in healthy volunteers and in rheumatoid arthritis patients. The importance of determining both the relative percentage of cells expressing receptors to immunomodulatory cytokines and the number of membrane-bound receptors per cell is highlighted by evidence of unidirectional or multidirectional changing of these parameters according to cell subset and health status.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-1 is one of the most evolutionarily conserved cytokines and plays an essential role in the regulation of innate immunity. IL-1 binds to two different receptors, IL-1R1 and IL-1R2, which share approximately 28% amino acid homology. IL-1R1 contains a cytoplasmic domain and is capable of transducing cellular signals; by contrast, IL-1R2 lacks a functional cytoplasmic domain and serves as a decoy receptor for IL-1. Interestingly, IL-1R2 is proteolytically cleaved and also functions as a soluble receptor that blocks IL-1 activity. In the present study, we examined the shedding properties of IL-1R2 and demonstrate that ADAM17 is de facto the major sheddase for IL-1R2 and that introducing a mutation into the juxta-membrane domain of IL-1R2 significantly desensitizes IL-1R2 to proteolytic cleavage. IL-1R1 was almost insensitive to ADAM17-dependent cleavage; however, the replacement of the juxta-membrane domain of IL-R1 with that of IL-1R2 significantly increased the sensitivity of IL-1R1 to shedding. Furthermore, we demonstrate that ADAM17 indirectly enhances IL-1 signaling in a cell-autonomous manner by selectively cleaving IL-1R2. Taken together, the data collected in the present study indicate that ADAM17 affects sensitivity to IL-1 by changing the balance between IL-1R1 and the decoy receptor IL-1R2.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We report exploratory gene-expression profiling data from a single-arm Phase-II-study in patients with non-squamous (ns)NSCLC treated with pemetrexed and cisplatin. Previously disclosed results indicated a significant association of low thymidylate-synthase (TS)-expression with longer progression-free and overall survival (PFS/OS). METHODS Treatment-naïve nsNSCLC patients (IIIB/IV) received 4 cycles of pemetrexed/cisplatin; non-progressing patients continued on pemetrexed-maintenance. Diagnostic tissue-samples were used to assess TS-expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and mRNA-expression array-profiling (1,030 lung cancer-specific genes). Cox proportional-hazard models were applied to explore the association between each gene and PFS/OS. Genes significantly correlated with PFS/OS were further correlated with TS-protein expression (Spearman-rank). Unsupervised clustering was applied to all evaluable samples (n = 51) for all 1,030 genes and an overlapping 870-gene subset associated with adenocarcinoma (ADC, n = 47). RESULTS 51/70 tissue-samples (72.9%) were evaluable; 9 of 1,030 genes were significantly associated with PFS/OS (unadjusted p < 0.01, genes: Chromosome 16 open reading frame 89, napsin A, surfactant protein B, aquaporin 4, TRAF2- and Nck-interacting kinase, Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1, Interleukin 1 receptor type II, NK2 homeobox 1, ABO glycosyl-transferase); expression for all except IL1R2 correlated negatively with nuclear TS-expression (statistically significant for 5/8 genes, unadjusted p<0.01). Cluster-analysis based on 1,030 genes revealed no clear trend regarding PFS/OS; the ADC-based cluster analysis identified 3 groups (n = 21/11/15) with median (95%CI) PFS of 8.1(6.9,NE)/2.4(1.2,NE)/4.4(1.2,NE) months and OS of 20.3(17.5,NE)/4.3(1.4,NE)/8.3(3.9,NE) months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS These exploratory gene-expression profiling results describe genes potentially linked to low TS-expression. Nine genes were significantly associated with PFS/OS but could not be differentiated as prognostic or predictive as this was a single-arm study. Although these hypotheses-generating results are interesting, they provide no evidence to change the current histology-based treatment approach with pemetrexed.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a central mediator of innate immunity and inflammation. The IL-1 family includes seven ligands with agonist activity (IL-1α and IL-1β, IL-18, IL-33, IL-36α, IL-36β, IL-36γ), three receptor antagonists (IL-1Ra, IL-36Ra, IL-38), and an anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-37). Members of the IL-1 Receptor (IL-1R) family include six receptor chains forming four signaling receptor complexes, two decoy receptors (IL-1R2, IL-18BP), and two negative regulators (TIR8 or SIGIRR, IL-1RAcPb). A tight regulation via receptor antagonists, decoy receptors, and signaling inhibitors ensures a balance between amplification of innate immunity and uncontrolled inflammation. All cells of the innate immune system express and/or are affected by IL-1 family members. Moreover, IL-1 family members play a key role in the differentiation and function of polarized innate and adaptive lymphoid cells. Here we will review the key properties of IL-1 family members, with emphasis on pathways of negative regulation and orchestration of innate and adaptive immunity.

Abstract
The IL-1 family of ligands and receptors has a central role in both innate and adaptive immune responses and is tightly controlled by antagonists, decoy receptors, scavengers, dominant negative molecules, miRNAs and other mechanisms, acting extracellularly or intracellularly. During evolution, the development of multiple mechanisms of negative regulation reveals the need for tight control of the biological consequences of IL-1 family ligands in order to balance local and systemic inflammation and limit immunopathology. Indeed, studies with gene targeted mice for negative regulators and genetic studies in humans provide evidence for their non-redundant role in controlling inflammation, tissue damage and adaptive responses. In addition, studies have revealed the need of negative regulation of the IL-1 family not only in disease, but also in homeostatic conditions. In this review, the negative regulation mediated by decoy receptors are presented and include IL-1R2 and IL-IL-18BP as well as atypical receptors, which include TIR8/SIGIRR, IL-1RAcPb, TIGIRR-1 and IL-1RAPL. Particular emphasis is given to IL-1R2, since its discovery is the basis for the formulation of the decoy paradigm, now considered a general strategy to counter the primary inflammatory activities of cytokines and chemokines. Emphasis is also given to TIR8, a prototypical negative regulatory receptor having non-redundant roles in limiting inflammation and adaptive responses.

Abstract
Members of the IL-1 family play a key role in innate and adaptive immunity and in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases. Members of IL-1R like receptor (ILR) family include signaling molecules and negative regulators. The latter include decoy receptors (IL-1RII; IL-18BP) and “receptors” with regulatory function (TIR8/SIGIRR; IL-1RAcPb; DIGIRR). Structural considerations suggest that also TIGIRR-1 and IL-1RAPL may have regulatory function. The presence of multiple pathways of negative regulation of members of the IL-1/IL-1R family emphasizes the need for a tight control of members of this fundamental system.

Mucins help to avoid alloreactivity at the maternal fetal interface. Clin Dev Immunol 2013; 2013:542152.

Abstract
During gestation, many different mechanisms act to render the maternal immune system tolerant to semi-allogeneic trophoblast cells of foetal origin, including those mediated via mucins that are expressed during the peri-implantation period in the uterus. Tumour- associated glycoprotein-72 (TAG-72) enhances the already established tolerogenic features of decidual dendritic cells with the inability to progress towards Th1 immune orientation due to lowered interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-15 expression. Mucine 1 (Muc 1) supports alternative activation of decidual macrophages, restricts the proliferation of decidual regulatory CD56+ bright natural killer (NK) cells, and downregulates their cytotoxic potential, including cytotoxic mediator protein expression. Removing TAG-72 and Muc 1 from the eutopic implantation site likely contributes to better control of trophoblast invasion by T cells and NK cells and appears to have important immunologic advantages for successful implantation, in addition to mechanical advantages. However, these processes may lead to uncontrolled trophoblast growth after implantation, inefficient defence against infection or tumours, and elimination of unwanted immunocompetent cells at the maternal-foetal interface. The use of mucins by tumour cells to affect the local microenvironment in order to avoid the host immune response and to promote local tumour growth, invasion, and metastasis confirms this postulation.

Abstract
Two substances, the cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL1β) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), known for their many physiological roles, for example, cognition, synaptic plasticity, and immune function, are also well characterized in their actions of sleep regulation. These substances promote non-rapid eye movement sleep and can induce symptoms associated with sleep loss such as sleepiness, fatigue, and poor cognition. IL1β and TNFα are released from glia in response to extracellular ATP. They bind to their receptors on neurons resulting in neuromodulator and neurotransmitter receptor up/downregulation (e.g., adenosine and glutamate receptors) leading to altered neuronal excitability and function, that is, a state change in the local network. Synchronization of state between local networks leads to emergent whole brain oscillations, such as sleep/wake cycles.

Abstract
Many therapeutic antibodies act as antagonists to competitively block cellular signaling pathways. We describe here an approach for the therapeutic use of monoclonal antibodies based on context-dependent attenuation to reduce pathologically high activity while allowing homeostatic signaling in biologically important pathways. Such attenuation is achieved by modulating the kinetics of a ligand binding to its various receptors and regulatory proteins rather than by complete blockade of signaling pathways. The anti-interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) antibody XOMA 052 is a potent inhibitor of IL-1beta activity that reduces the affinity of IL-1beta for its signaling receptor and co-receptor but not for its decoy and soluble inhibitory receptors. This mechanism shifts the effective dose response of the cytokine so that the potency of IL-1beta bound by XOMA 052 is 20-100-fold lower than that of IL-1beta in the absence of antibody in a variety of in vitro cell-based assays. We propose that by decreasing potency of IL-1beta while allowing binding to its clearance and inhibitory receptors, XOMA 052 treatment will attenuate IL-1beta activity in concert with endogenous regulatory mechanisms. Furthermore, the ability to bind the decoy receptor may reduce the potential for accumulation of antibody.target complexes. Regulatory antibodies like XOMA 052, which selectively modulate signaling pathways, may represent a new mechanistic class of therapeutic antibodies.

Abstract
Expression of interleukin-1 receptor type II (IL1R2), a decoy receptor for pro-inflammatory interleukin 1 (IL-1), is enhanced by chronic exposure of the human uroepithelial cell line HUC-1 to arsenite. To explore the function of IL1R2, we ectopically expressed IL1R2 in HUC-1 cells. IL1R2 overexpression results in changes in cell morphology, actin rearrangement, and promoted cell migration. Ectopic expression of IL1R2 specifically blocked exogenous IL-1beta signaling but increased expression of the precursor form of IL-1alpha (pIL-1alpha) and its downstream targets, including interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and type I collagen alpha1 (COL1A1). However, depleting gene expression using small RNA interference specific to either pIL-1alpha or COL1A1, but not IL-6 or IL-8, significantly attenuated the migration of IL1R2-overexpressing cells. Furthermore, IL1R2 overexpression was associated with enhanced expression of Smad-interacting protein 1 (SIP-1) and reduced expression of E-cadherin. Because SIP-1 is a repressor of COL1A1-induced E-cadherin expression, the present results suggest that IL1R2 overexpression is likely through activation of the pIL-1alpha pathway to enhance cell migration.

Abstract
The interleukin (IL)-1 family members IL-1α, -1β, and -18 are potent inflammatory cytokines whose activities are dependent on heterodimeric receptors of the IL-1R superfamily, and which are regulated by soluble antagonists. Recently, several new IL-1 family members have been identified. To determine the role of one of these family members in the skin, transgenic mice expressing IL1F6 in basal keratinocytes were generated. IL1F6 transgenic mice exhibit skin abnormalities that are dependent on IL-1Rrp2 and IL-1RAcP, which are two members of the IL-1R family. The skin phenotype is characterized by acanthosis, hyperkeratosis, the presence of a mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate, and increased cytokine and chemokine expression. Strikingly, the combination of the IL-1F6 transgene with an IL1F5 deficiency results in exacerbation of the skin phenotype, demonstrating that IL-1F5 has antagonistic activity in vivo. Skin from IL1F6 transgenic, IL1F5−/− pups contains intracorneal and intraepithelial pustules, nucleated corneocytes, and dilated superficial dermal blood vessels. Additionally, expression of IL1RL2, -1F5, and -1F6 is increased in human psoriatic skin. In summary, dysregulated expression of novel agonistic and antagonistic IL-1 family member ligands can promote cutaneous inflammation, revealing potential novel targets for the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders.

Abstract
The cytokines IL-1 and IL-18 are key molecules both in the innate and in the adaptive immune response. Their activity is mediated by specific receptors present on the membrane of target cells. It has become apparent that these receptors are members of a larger family of related receptors, most of which are apparently involved in the mechanisms of host defense. Thus, the large Toll/IL-1R (TIR) superfamily encompasses the Ig domain family (IL-1 receptors, IL-18 receptors, and IL-1R-like receptors), the leucine-rich domain family [the Toll-like receptors (TLR) and similar receptors], and a series of TIR domain-containing intracellular adapter molecules. The TIR superfamily is defined by a common intracellular TIR domain, involved in the initiation of signaling. A group of TIR domain-containing adapters (MyD88, TIRAP, TRIF, and TRAM) are differentially recruited to the Toll/IL-1 receptors, contributing to the specificity of signaling. Recent studies have also begun to unravel the mechanisms of negative regulation of the Toll/IL-1 receptors. The orphan receptor TIR8/SIGIRR, a member of TIR superfamily, while unable to initiate signaling, can negatively modulate the TIR-mediated responses. Other negative regulators of the Toll/IL-1R family include T1/ST2, some soluble forms of TLR, and MyD88s. The coordinated positive and negative regulation of the TIR activation ensures the appropriate modulation of the innate and inflammatory responses and avoids the risk of pathological derangement. This chapter will consider in detail the characteristics and functional role of the Ig domain receptor subfamily in the regulation of host defense and their possible role in pathology.

Abstract
Inflammation is a key mechanism in atherosclerotic progression and destabilization that precedes clinical events such as myocardial infarction. The inflammatory biomarkers provide a window into many of these inflammatory processes. In research studies, average levels of these biomarkers in groups of subjects are often related to the risk of clinical events, and modification of risk factors can change the plasma concentrations of many biomarkers, reflecting suppression of inflammation. More evidence exists for C-reactive protein (CRP) than for other inflammatory biomarkers, and the discussion of the clinical value of plasma levels of these markers is focused mainly on CRP. Although the inflammatory biomarkers are useful research tools, their value as a clinical instrument for assessment of cardiovascular risk and/or treatment efficacy is still widely debated. Each biomarker has passionate supporters who advocate these applications, but, at this stage, no inflammatory biomarker has universal support for clinical use and their potential for fulfilling this role requires further study.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment consists of tumor, immune, stromal, and inflammatory cells which produce cytokines, growth factors, and adhesion molecules that promote tumor progression and metastasis. Of particular interest in this setting is interleukin-1 (IL-1), a pleiotropic cytokine with numerous roles in both physiological and pathological states. It is known to be up regulated in many tumor types and has been implicated as a factor in tumor progression via the expression of metastatic and angiogenic genes and growth factors. A number of studies have reported that high IL-1 concentrations within the tumor microenvironment are associated with a more virulent tumor phenotype. Solid tumors in which IL-1 has been shown to be up regulated include breast, colon, lung, head and neck cancers, and melanomas, and patients with IL-1 producing tumors have generally bad prognoses. The exact mechanisms by which IL-1 promotes tumor growth remain unclear, though the protein is believed to act via induction of pro-metastatic genes such as matrix metalloproteinases and through the stimulation of adjacent cells to produce angiogenic proteins and growth factors such as VEGF, IL-8, IL-6, TNFα, and TGFβ. The IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) is a naturally occurring inhibitor to IL-1 and acts by binding to the IL-1 receptor without activating it. The protein has been shown to decrease tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastases in murine xenograft models. Our focus in this review is to summarize the known data on the role of IL-1 in tumor progression and metastasis and the use of IL-1 inhibition as a novel therapeutic approach in the treatment of solid organ malignancies.

Abstract
Adult human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) possess multilineage differentiation potential, and differentiated hMSCs have recently been shown to have the ability to transdifferentiate into other lineages. However, the molecular signature of hMSCs is not well-known, and the mechanisms regulating their self-renewal, differentiation, and transdifferentiation are not completely understood. In this study, we demonstrate that fully differentiated hMSCs could dedifferentiate, a likely critical step for transdifferentiation. By comparing the global gene expression profiles of undifferentiated, differentiated, and dedifferentiation cells in three mesenchymal lineages (osteogenesis, chondrogenesis, and adipogenesis), we identified a number of "stemness" and "differentiation" genes that might be essential to maintain adult stem cell multipotency as well as to drive lineage-specific commitment. These genes include those that encode cell surface molecules, as well as components of signaling pathways. These genes may be valuable for developing methods to isolate, enrich, and purify homogeneous population of hMSCs and/or maintain and propagate hMSCs as well as guide or regulate their differentiation for gene and cell-based therapy. Using small interfering RNA gene inactivation, we demonstrate that five genes (actin filament-associated protein, frizzled 7, dickkopf 3, protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor F, and RAB3B) promote cell survival without altering cell proliferation, as well as exhibiting different effects on the commitment of hMSCs into multiple mesenchymal lineages.

Abstract
Inorganic arsenic is an environmental carcinogen. The generation of toxic trivalent methylated metabolites complicates the study of arsenic-mediated carcinogenesis. This study systematically evaluated the effect of chronic treatment with sodium arsenite (iAs(III)), monomethylarsonous acid (MMA(III)), and dimethylarsinous acid (DMA(III)) on immortalized human uroepithelial cells (SV-HUC-1 cells) using cDNA microarray. After exposure for 25 passages to iAs(III) (0.5 microM), MMA(III) (0.05, 0.1, or 0.2 microM), or DMA(III) (0.2 or 0.5 microM), significant compound-specific morphologic changes were observed. A set of 114 genes (5.7% of the examined genes) was differentially expressed in one or more sets of arsenical-treated cells compared with untreated controls. Expression analysis showed that exposure of cells to DMA(III) resulted in a gene profile different from that in cells exposed to iAs(III) or MMA(III), and that the iAs(III)-induced gene profile was closest to that in the tumorigenic HUC-1-derived 3-methylcholanthrene-induced tumorigenic cell line MC-SV-HUC T2, which was derived from SV-HUC-1 cells by methylcholanthrene treatment. Of the genes affected by all three arsenicals, only one, that coding for interleukin-1 receptor, type II, showed enhanced expression, a finding confirmed by the reduced increase in NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappa B) activity seen in response to interleukin-1beta in iAs(III)-exposed cells. The expression of 11 genes was suppressed by all three arsenicals. 5-Aza-deoxycytidine partially restored the transcription of several suppressed genes, showing that epigenetic DNA methylation was probably involved in arsenical-induced gene repression. Our data demonstrate that chronic exposure to iAs(III), MMA(III), or DMA(III) has different epigenetic effects on urothelial cells and represses NF-kappaB activity.

Abstract
Following the identification of the interleukin (IL)-1 type II receptor as a prototypic decoy receptor, nonsignaling receptors with decoy functions have been identified for members of the IL-1/IL-18, tumor necrosis factor, IL-10, and IL-13 receptor families. Moreover, the silent receptor D6 is a promiscuous decoy and scavenger receptor of inflammatory chemokines. The type II IL-1 decoy receptor also acts as a dominant-negative molecule. Intracellular pathways of inhibition of IL-1 and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling have been identified. In particular, recent results suggest that the Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) family member TIR8, also known as single immunoglobulin IL-1-related receptor (SIGIRR), is a negative regulator of IL-1 and TLR signaling. Thus, extracellular and intracellular decoys tune the activation of members of the IL-1/TLR receptor family.

Moreover, the silent receptor D6 is a promiscuous decoy and scavenger receptor of inflammatory chemokines. The IL-1 decoy receptor is regulated by pro- and anti-inflammatory signals and its levels may serve as a readout of the activation of anti-inflammatory pathways, for instance by glucocorticoid hormones. Decoy receptors represent a strategy to tune inflammatory and polarized adaptive responses.

Abstract
Immunization with the whole cell pertussis vaccine (Pw), but not the acellular pertussis vaccine (Pa), is associated with a number of neurological side effects. Previously, we have demonstrated a role for interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in Pw reactogenicity. Here we report that parenteral Pw administration resulted in a concomitant increase IL-1 type I receptor (IL-1RI) mRNA and a decrease in IL-1 type II receptor (IL-1RII) mRNA expression in the murine hypothalamus. These Pw-induced changes were accompanied by an increase in caspase-1 and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and were associated with increased activity of the stress-activated kinase, p38. In contrast, immunization with Pa failed to activate pro-inflammatory IL-1 responses but resulted in increased IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) production. These results suggest that the neurological effects of Pw are associated with central activation of IL-1beta and IL-1-associated signalling components.

Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy, resulting from myocarditis, is the most common cause of heart failure in young patients. We here show that interleukin (IL)-1 receptor type 1-deficient (IL-1R1(-/-)) mice are protected from development of autoimmune myocarditis after immunization with alpha-myosin-peptide(614-629). CD4(+) T cells from immunized IL-1R1(-/-) mice proliferated poorly and failed to transfer disease after injection into naive severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. In vitro stimulation experiments suggested that the function of IL-1R1(-/-)CD4(+) T cells was not intrinsically defect, but their activation by dendritic cells was impaired in IL-1R1(-/-) mice. Accordingly, production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-12p70 was reduced in dendritic cells lacking the IL-1 receptor type 1. In fact, injection of immature, antigen-loaded IL-1R1(+/+) but not IL-1R1(-/-) dendritic cells into IL-1R1(-/-) mice fully restored disease susceptibility by rendering IL-1R1(-/-) CD4(+) T cells pathogenic. Thus, IL-1R1 triggering is required for efficient activation of dendritic cells, which is in turn a prerequisite for induction of autoreactive CD4(+) T cells and autoimmunity.

Abstract
Efforts to understand the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases have been underway for decades. Studies of immunological aspects in addition to the structural components of gingival fibroblasts showed that the fibroblasts actively participate in immune and inflammatory events in periodontal diseases. Future strategies for the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases should biologically regulate fibroblast activities. These cells are surrounded by monocyte-derived proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and lymphocyte-derived interleukin-6 (IL-6) in inflamed gingival tissue. Recent anti-cytokine therapy for inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis aimed to inhibit the binding of cytokines to targeted cells such as fibroblasts and condrocytes. IL-1beta and TNF-alpha are thought to be therapeutic targets because these cytokines are essential for the initiation of inflammatory immune reactions and are produced for prolonged periods in inflammatory diseases. IL-6 is also a target, because it is abundantly present in inflammatory lesions and activates fibroblasts in the presence of soluble IL-6 receptor. In addition, these cytokines accelerate gingival fibroblasts to produce collagenolytic enzymes, resulting in tissue destruction. Soluble receptors for IL-1beta and TNF-alpha are suggested to be candidates for therapeutic molecules, but soluble receptor for IL-6 is suggested to be a factor-stimulating fibroblast. This paper will review the utilization of soluble receptors specific to inflammatory cytokines which potentially stimulate fibroblasts to regulate biological events involved in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.

Abstract
White matter lesions (WMLs) in the brain is a common, unspecific finding on magnetic resonance imaging appearing both in the healthy elderly as well as in a number of different diseases including dementia disorders. However, the pathophysiological and clinical significance of WMLs in dementia disorders is still unknown. In this study, we investigated the possibility of their origin being inflammatory by studying the correlation between WMLs and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the proinflammatory cytokine soluble interleukin-1 receptor type II (sIL-1RII). The sIL-1RII is a member of the IL-1 family, and has been found to be elevated in CSF from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. In the present study, two groups of patients complaining of memory disturbances with little or extensive WMLs respectively, were examined, as well as healthy subjects. In accordance with other reports, WML scores (total, periventricular as well as deep lesions) were positively correlated with age but not mini mental state examination (MMSE) scores, and were significantly higher in patients with a dementia diagnosis as compared to non-demented subjects. There were no differences in sIL-1RII levels in CSF regardless of amount of total, periventricular or deep WMLs, nor were there any differences between demented and non-demented subjects. In conclusion, sIL-1RII levels in CSF are not correlated to magnetic resonance imaging WMLs in patients with dementia disorders or in healthy subjects.

Abstract
The cytokines IL-1 and IL-18 are key molecules in both the innate and the adaptive immune response. Recently, important insights have been gained into the regulation of their functions. Moreover, it has become apparent that they are members of a larger family of related receptors, some of which can also be shown to contribute to host defense.

Abstract
The canonical concept of a receptor includes specific ligand recognition, usually with high affinity and specificity, and signaling. Decoy receptors recognize certain inflammatory cytokines with high affinity and specificity, but are structurally incapable of signaling or presenting the agonist to signaling receptor complexes. They act as a molecular trap for the agonist and for signaling receptor components. The interleukin-1 type II receptor (IL-1RII) was the first pure decoy to be identified. Decoy receptors have subsequently been identified for members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor and IL-1R families. Moreover, silent nonsignaling receptors could act as decoys for chemokines. Therefore, the use of decoy receptors is a general strategy to regulate the action of primary pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

Abstract
IL-1 signaling is mediated by the type I IL-1R (IL-1RI). The nonsignaling type II receptor has a regulatory function, since it reduces IL-1 effects by scavenging free IL-1 molecules. This regulatory function has been demonstrated only for the soluble form, released from the membrane receptor by action of specific proteases, but is still ill-defined for the membrane receptor itself. To assess the function of membrane IL-1RII, a modified IL-1RII cDNA was constructed, in which the cleavable domain was replaced with the corresponding uncleavable sequence of the epidermal growth factor receptor. The human keratinocyte line HaCaT, which does not express wild-type IL-1RII (wtIL-1RII), was stably transfected with this modified cDNA (unconventionally cleavable IL-1RII (uIL-1RII)). Cells transfected with uIL-1RII expressed the membrane form of IL-1RII, but were unable to produce the 60-kDa soluble receptor. Upon analysis of IL-1 responsiveness, parental HaCaT and vector-transfected cells (E27), expressing IL-1RI and the accessory chain IL-1R accessory protein, were responsive to IL-1. Conversely, cells overexpressing wtIL-1RII (811) or uIL-1RII (9D4) showed comparable reduction in responsiveness to both IL-1alpha (bound by membrane and soluble receptors) and IL-1beta (recognized by the membrane receptor only), suggesting that the membrane form of the IL-1RII is mainly responsible for IL-1 inhibition. In contrast with wtIL-1RII, uIL-1RII did not interact with IL-1R accessory protein. Thus, the membrane form of IL-1RII possesses strong IL-1-inhibitory activity, independent of sequestration of the accessory protein and circumscribed to its ligand sink function.

Abstract
The type II interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1RII) has been thought to be incapable of transducing signals to cells because of its short intracellular domain, while type I IL-1 receptor (IL-1RI) does transduce signals. Since over-expression of IL-1RII has been demonstrated to inhibit cytokine production in the fibroblastic cell line, it has been proposed to use IL-1RII to prevent IL-1-induced inflammation in connective tissue. In this study, trace amounts of IL-1RII mRNA expression were detected in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs), which are affected by cytokines in inflammatory periodontal disease. Cloning of the cDNA encoding IL-1RII expressed in HGFs revealed 3 amino acid substitutions in the extracellular domain, when compared with the 408 residues predicted from human B-cells. Over-expression of IL-1RII on HGFs by gene transfer down-regulated the expression of IL-1 beta mRNA and IL-6 mRNA in response to IL-1 beta stimulation, while the expression of IL-8 mRNA was not affected. In the IL-1RII-transfected HGFs, phosphorylation of 25- and 74-kDa proteins was up-regulated upon IL-1 beta stimulation in the transfected HGFs. The phosphorylation of these proteins was suppressed by the addition of a neutralizing antibody against IL-1RII. These results suggest that the IL-1RII may regulate HGFs expression of cytokine mRNA upon IL-1 beta stimulation, possibly by altering the IL-1RI-dependent signals.

Abstract
The type II IL-1 receptor (IL-1RII) is a non-signalling molecule which acts as a decoy target for IL-1. Various signals (e.g. chemoattractants and phorbol ester) induce metalloprotease-mediated rapid shedding of the IL-1RII. The present study was designed to compare the susceptibility to shedding of the decoy IL-1RII vs the signalling IL-1RI. HEK 293 cells and COS cells were transfected with cDNAs encoding the human IL-1RI, IL-1RII or both. Slow spontaneous release and rapid phorbol ester-induced shedding were only observed for the decoy IL-1RII. Similarly, OVCAR-3 cells, which express substantial amounts of both IL-1RI and IL-1RII, only released the IL-1RII. These results indicate that the IL-RII, but not the IL-1RI, is susceptible to proteolytic shedding, a finding consistent with the decoy function of this molecule.

Abstract
The effects of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1-beta (IL-1beta) on levels of intracellular calcium [Ca(2+)](i) in cultured human microglia have been studied using the fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator fura-2. IL-1beta (2 ng/ml) caused a slow, progressive increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in standard Ca(2+)-containing physiological solution (PSS). A similar effect was observed in separate studies using Ca(2+)-free PSS, however, the mean rate of increase was significantly lower than that measured with PSS. Similar results were obtained in a separate protocol, where cells were exposed to both IL-1beta in Ca(2+)-free PSS and PSS. The slope of the IL-1beta induced increase of [Ca(2+)](i) in Ca(2+)-free PSS was not altered when adenosine triphosphate was added prior to application of the cytokine. These results suggest that IL-1beta-induced responses in human microglia involve both a Ca(2+) entry pathway and a mechanism of intracellular increase other than from IP(3)-sensitive stores.
