Abstract
Recurrent pericarditis (RP) has been traditionally regarded as a "nightmare" for both clinicians and patients. Until approximately a decade ago, available treatments were thin on the ground with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, glucocorticoids, colchicine, and classical immunosuppressants being the only options. The first important step in the tale of RP was the advent of colchicine in clinical practice, which has been shown to halve the rate of first and subsequent pericarditis recurrences. The second major breakthrough advance in this setting was the introduction of interleukin-1 inhibitors based on the recently unveiled autoinflammatory nature of pericarditis. At present, anti-interleukin-1 inhibitors available for clinical use in patients with refractory RP include anakinra and rilonacept, with the latter having obtained FDA approval for this indication. Apart from the remarkable efficacy and good safety profile which is a common feature of all anti-interleukin-1 compounds, rilonacept has the advantage of weekly administration (instead of daily compared to anakinra) which is important in terms of adherence to treatment and improved quality of life albeit at the expense of a higher cost. This review aims to summarize the available evidence on the role of rilonacept in the treatment of RP and the reduction of the recurrences risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature/proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndrome (CANDLE/PRAAS) respond to the janus kinase inhibitor 1/2 inhibition with baricitinib at exposures higher than in rheumatoid arthritis. Baricitinib dose reductions to minimise exposure triggered disease flares which we used to develop 'flare criteria'. METHODS Of 10 patients with CANDLE/PRAAS treated with baricitinib in an open-label expanded-access programme, baricitinib doses were reduced 14 times in 9 patients between April 2014 and December 2019. Retrospective data analysis of daily diary scores and laboratory markers collected before and after the dose reductions were used to develop 'clinical' and 'subclinical' flare criteria. Disease flare rates were compared among patients with <25% and >25% dose reductions and during study visits when patients received recommended 'optimized' baricitinib doses (high-dose visits) versus lower than recommended baricitinib doses (low-dose visits) using two-sided χ2 tests. RESULTS In the 9/10 patients with CANDLE with dose reduction, 7/14 (50%) times the dose was reduced resulted in a disease flare. All four dose reductions of >25% triggered a disease flare (p <0.05). Assessment of clinical and laboratory changes during disease flares allowed the development of disease flare criteria that were assessed during visits when patients received high or low doses of baricitinib. Disease flare criteria were reached during 43.14% of low-dose visits compared with 12.75% of high-dose visits (p <0.0001). Addition of an interferon score as an additional flare criterion increased the sensitivity to detect disease flares. CONCLUSION We observed disease flares and rebound inflammation with baricitinib dose reductions and proposed flare criteria that can assist in monitoring disease activity and in designing clinical studies in CANDLE/PRAAS.

Abstract
Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) arise from dysregulated innate immune system activity, which leads to systemic inflammation. These disorders, encompassing a diverse array of genetic defects classified as inborn errors of immunity, are significant diagnostic challenges due to their genetic heterogeneity and varied clinical presentations. Although recent advances in genetic sequencing have facilitated pathogenic gene discovery, approximately 40% of SAIDs patients lack molecular diagnoses. SAIDs have distinct clinical phenotypes, and targeted therapeutic approaches are needed. This review aims to underscore the complexity and clinical significance of SAIDs, focusing on prototypical disorders grouped according to their pathophysiology as follows: (i) inflammasomopathies, characterized by excessive activation of inflammasomes, which induces notable IL-1β release; (ii) relopathies, which are monogenic disorders characterized by dysregulation within the NF-κB signaling pathway; (iii) IL-18/IL-36 signaling pathway defect-induced SAIDs, autoinflammatory conditions defined by a dysregulated balance of IL-18/IL-36 cytokine signaling, leading to uncontrolled inflammation and tissue damage, mainly in the skin; (iv) type I interferonopathies, a diverse group of disorders characterized by uncontrolled production of type I interferons (IFNs), notably interferon α, β, and ε; (v) anti-inflammatory signaling pathway impairment-induced SAIDs, a spectrum of conditions characterized by IL-10 and TGFβ anti-inflammatory pathway disruption; and (vi) miscellaneous and polygenic SAIDs. The latter group includes VEXAS syndrome, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis/chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis, Schnitzler syndrome, and Still's disease, among others, illustrating the heterogeneity of SAIDs and the difficulty in creating a comprehensive classification. Therapeutic strategies involving targeted agents, such as JAK inhibitors, IL-1 blockers, and TNF inhibitors, are tailored to the specific disease phenotypes.

Abstract
Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are a group of rare genetic and nongenetic immune dysregulatory disorders associated with high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Therefore, early diagnosis and initiation of targeted treatment is vital in SAID patients to control the disease activity and prevent long-term immune-mediated damage. A specific group of genetically defined SAIDs is associated with increased inflammasome-mediated production of active interleukin (IL)-1. Even though progress in immunobiology and genetics has brought forth diagnostic tools and novel treatments that have been described in the literature extensively, many challenges remain in the clinical setting. Some challenges that health care providers may face on a day-to-day basis include the requirement of a multidisciplinary approach due to the complexity of these diseases, limited evidence-based treatment options, and barriers to access available therapies. Primarily, IL-1 inhibitors anakinra, canakinumab, and rilonacept are used to control the inflammation in these patients, with the goal of achieving sustainable remission. Recently published provisional points to consider from the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) and American College of Rheumatology (ACR) provide diagnosis, management, and monitoring recommendations for four IL-1-mediated autoinflammatory diseases: cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), and deficiency of the IL-1 receptor antagonist (DIRA). The goal of this paper is to aid health care professionals by providing a practical approach to diagnosis and management of these four IL-1 mediated SAIDs on the basis of the recent EULAR/ACR recommendations.

Abstract
The substantial morbidity and mortality associated with refractory systemic JIA underlies the need for new treatment approaches. However, progress in this area has been limited by the difficulty of enrolling these patients in clinical trials with traditional designs, particularly in patients presenting with the life-threatening macrophage activation syndrome. At the NextGen 2022 conference, there was group consensus that using historical cohorts as a control group to avoid the need for a placebo-arm or drug withdrawal was highly desirable and might be acceptable for clinical trials in MAS to support medication efficacy and safety. However, if historic controls were used in a trial, it would be important to ensure that the historic cohort matches the study group in terms of clinical characteristics (such as disease severity and exposure to other medications), and that disease outcome in both groups is assessed using the same outcome measures. The discussions at the NextGen 2022 conference focused on the potential strategies to achieve these goals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In 2022, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first biologics, intravenous spesolimab, for acute flare of generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP). The drug works by blocking IL-36 signaling, the key pathway of GPP. Among the known mutations causing GPP, IL36RN mutations are most common, and the presence of IL36RN mutations had been found to affect the clinical manifestations and treatment response of GPP. AREAS COVERED Literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase and ClinicalTrials.gov for relevant studies discussing biologic treatment for GPP with special emphasis on larger studies, pediatric group, pregnant women, and the influence of IL36RN mutation on the effectiveness of biologics. EXPERT OPINION The approval of spesolimab for GPP flare treatment marks a new era. However, whether spesolimab will be placed as the treatment of choice remains unknown, considering its higher cost, lack of direct comparison with existing biologics, and uncertain effects on co-existing plaque-type psoriasis. However, the demonstration of numerically better efficacy for patients carrying pathogenic IL36RN mutations suggests the role of pharmacogenetics in the choices of GPP treatment. Future randomized studies are warranted to investigate the effectiveness and safety of biologics for GPP in pediatric and pregnant groups.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a major health burden despite anticoagulation advances, suggesting incomplete management of pathogenic mechanisms. The NLRP3 (NACHT-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasome, interleukin (IL)-1, and pyroptosis are emerging contributors to the inflammatory pathogenesis of VTE. Inflammasome pathway activation occurs in patients with VTE. In preclinical models, inflammasome signaling blockade reduces venous thrombogenesis and vascular injury, suggesting that this therapeutic approach may potentially maximize anticoagulation benefits, protecting from VTE occurrence, recurrence, and ensuing post-thrombotic syndrome. The nonselective NLRP3 inhibitor colchicine and the anti-IL-1β agent canakinumab reduce atherothrombosis without increasing bleeding. Rosuvastatin reduces primary venous thrombotic events at least in part through lipid-lowering independent mechanisms, paving the way to targeted anti-inflammatory strategies in VTE. This review outlines recent preclinical and clinical evidence supporting a role for inflammasome pathway activation in venous thrombosis, and discusses the, yet unexplored, therapeutic potential of modulating inflammasome signaling to prevent and manage VTE.

Abstract
The interleukin 1 (IL-1) pathway signals through IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) and emerges as a central mediator for systemic inflammation. Aberrant IL-1 signaling leads to a range of autoinflammatory diseases. Here, we identified a de novo missense variant in IL-1R1 (p.Lys131Glu) in a patient with chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). Patient PBMCs showed strong inflammatory signatures, particularly in monocytes and neutrophils. The p.Lys131Glu substitution affected a critical positively charged amino acid, which disrupted the binding of the antagonist ligand, IL-1Ra, but not IL-1α or IL-1β. This resulted in unopposed IL-1 signaling. Mice with a homologous mutation exhibited similar hyperinflammation and greater susceptibility to collagen antibody-induced arthritis, accompanied with pathological osteoclastogenesis. Leveraging the biology of the mutation, we designed an IL-1 therapeutic, which traps IL-1β and IL-1α, but not IL-1Ra. Collectively, this work provides molecular insights and a potential drug for improved potency and specificity in treating IL-1-driven diseases.

Abstract
Non-bacterial osteomyelitis (NBO) is a rare chronic inflammatory bone disease related to immune system dysregulation. This disease belongs to a family of autoinflammatory diseases. It often coexists with other TNF-α-mediated immune-mediated diseases such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and inflammatory bowel diseases. Previously, interleukin-1-driven inflammation was described predominantly in monogenic cases of NBO, such as DIRA syndrome or Majeed syndrome. However, the association between NBO and JIA with systemic onset (soJIA) has not been described yet. Herein, we describe the cases of two patients with soJIA with inflammatory bone lesions wherein canakinumab (anti-interleukin-1β antibodies) caused remission. Case descriptions Patient 1-A 6-month-old boy with typical soJIA suffered a destruction of the 7th to 9th ribs and the left pubic bone. Antibiotics, IVIG, and cyclosporine proved ineffective. Corticosteroids were effective, but due to the factor of corticosteroid dependence, which has some disadvantages, canakinumab with a dosage of 4 mg/kg was initiated every 4 weeks, which completely controlled the disease and allowed to taper corticosteroids.Patient 2-A 2-year-old girl developed chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis of the 5th rib 2 months after taking corticosteroids prescribed for typical soJIA. She underwent surgical debridement removal, and several courses of antibiotics proved ineffective. She developed macrophage activation syndrome, following which anakinra was prescribed, which resulted in only temporary improvement. Therefore, this drug was switched to canakinumab, which caused corticosteroid-free remission. Conclusion This is the first description of a rare association of soJIA with inflammatory bone lesions with the proven efficacy of IL-1 blockade. The association of two autoinflammatory conditions should indicate IL-1-driven mechanisms and a possible genetic basis. Follow-up genetic and functional studies are required to better understand the pathogenesis of such overlapping diseases.

Abstract
The anemia of critical illness (ACI) is a nearly universal pathophysiological consequence of burn injury and a primary reason burn patients require massive quantities of transfused blood. Inflammatory processes are expected to drive postburn ACI and prevent meaningful erythropoietic stimulation through iron or erythropoietin supplementation, but to this day no specific inflammatory pathways have been identified as a critical mechanism. In this study, we examined whether secretion of G-CSF and IL-6 mediates distinct features of postburn ACI and interrogated inflammatory mechanisms that could be responsible for their secretion. Our analysis of mouse and human skin samples identified the burn wound as a primary source of G-CSF and IL-6 secretion. We show that G-CSF and IL-6 are secreted independently through an IL-1/MyD88-dependent mechanism, and we ruled out TLR2 and TLR4 as critical receptors. Our results indicate that IL-1/MyD88-dependent G-CSF secretion plays a key role in impairing medullary erythropoiesis and IL-6 secretion plays a key role in limiting the access of erythroid cells to iron. Importantly, we found that IL-1α/β neutralizing Abs broadly attenuated features of postburn ACI that could be attributed to G-CSF or IL-6 secretion and rescued deficits of circulating RBC counts, hemoglobin, and hematocrit caused by burn injury. We conclude that wound-based IL-1/MyD88 signaling mediates postburn ACI through induction of G-CSF and IL-6 secretion.

Li Y, Yu M, Lu M. Pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and current management of IL-1 mediated monogenic systemic autoinflammatory diseases, a literature review. Pediatr Rheumatol Online J 2022; 20:90. [PMID: 36253853 PMCID: PMC9575291 DOI: 10.1186/s12969-022-00728-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are hyperinflammatory and immune-dysregulation conditions that present in childhood. This kind of disease is a rare disease with early-onset, severe condition and difficult diagnosis, which seriously affects the growth and development of children. Most children need a genetic diagnosis. However, with the limitation of access to genetic testing and the detection of somatic mutations, the diagnosis of SAIDs remains challenging. IL-1 is one of the important cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of SAIDs. Here we briefly review monogenic SAIDs mediated by aberrant IL-1 production, with the aim to further understand the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatments of IL-1 mediated SAIDs. METHODS Literature reviews were performed using "PubMed" and "Web of Science" by searching for the terms "autoinflammatory diseases" and "IL-1". RESULTS Monogenic SAIDs mediated by IL-1 include MKD, FMF, TRAPS, PAAND, PAPA, CAPS, DIRA, Majeed syndrome, NAIAD, NLRC4-MAS, PFIT, APLAID. Monogenic SAIDs have early onset, various clinical manifestations and difficult diagnosis, so early recognition and early treatment can reduce the complications and enhance the quality of life. CONCLUSIONS There are many kinds of IL-1 mediated SAIDs. Pediatricians should be alert to SAIDs in the face of the patients with repeated fever, repeated rash and poor effect of routine treatment. The patients should be carried out with gene testing and treatment in time.

Abstract
Background The cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 plays a pivotal role in immune-mediated disorders, particularly in autoinflammatory diseases. Targeting this cytokine proved to be efficacious in treating numerous IL-1-mediated pathologies. Currently, three IL-1 blockers are approved, namely anakinra, canakinumab and rilonacept, and two additional ones are expected to receive approval, namely gevokizumab and bermekimab. However, there is no systematic review on the safety and efficacy of these biologics in treating immune-mediated diseases. Objective To evaluate safety and efficacy of anakinra, canakinumab, rilonacept, gevokizumab, and bermekimab for the treatment of immune-mediated disorders compared to placebo, standard-of-care treatment or other biologics. Methods The PRISMA checklist guided the reporting of the data. We searched the PubMed database between 1 January 1984 and 31 December 2020 focusing on immune-mediated disorders. Our PubMed literature search identified 7363 articles. After screening titles and abstracts for the inclusion and exclusion criteria and assessing full texts, 75 articles were included in a narrative synthesis. Results Anakinra was both efficacious and safe in treating cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), gout, macrophage activation syndrome, recurrent pericarditis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). Conversely, anakinra failed to show efficacy in graft-versus-host disease, Sjögren’s syndrome, and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Canakinumab showed efficacy in treating CAPS, FMF, gout, hyper-IgD syndrome, RA, Schnitzler’s syndrome, sJIA, and TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome. However, use of canakinumab in the treatment of adult-onset Still’s disease and T1DM revealed negative results. Rilonacept was efficacious and safe for the treatment of CAPS, FMF, recurrent pericarditis, and sJIA. Contrarily, Rilonacept did not reach superiority compared to placebo in the treatment of T1DM. Gevokizumab showed mixed results in treating Behçet’s disease-associated uveitis and no benefit when assessed in T1DM. Bermekimab achieved promising results in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa. Conclusions This systematic review of IL-1-targeting biologics summarizes the current state of research, safety, and clinical efficacy of anakinra, bermekimab, canakinumab, gevokizumab, and rilonacept in treating immune-mediated disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The interleukin-1 (IL-1) mediated systemic autoinflammatory diseases, including the cryopyrin- associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) and deficiency of the IL-1 receptor antagonist (DIRA), belong to a group of rare immunodysregulatory diseases that primarily present in early childhood with variable multiorgan involvement. When untreated, patients with severe clinical phenotypes have a poor prognosis, and diagnosis and management of these patients can be challenging. However, approved treatments targeting the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1 have been life changing and have significantly improved patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE To establish evidence-based recommendations for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of patients with IL-1 mediated autoinflammatory diseases to standardise their management. METHODS A multinational, multidisciplinary task force consisting of physician experts, including rheumatologists, patients or caregivers and allied healthcare professionals, was established. Evidence synthesis, including systematic literature review and expert consensus (Delphi) via surveys, was conducted. Consensus methodology was used to formulate and vote on statements to guide optimal patient care. RESULTS The task force devised five overarching principles, 14 statements related to diagnosis, 10 on therapy, and nine focused on long-term monitoring that were evidence and/or consensus-based for patients with IL-1 mediated diseases. An outline was developed for disease-specific monitoring of inflammation-induced organ damage progression and reported treatments of CAPS, TRAPS, MKD and DIRA. CONCLUSION The 2021 EULAR/American College of Rheumatology points to consider represent state-of-the-art knowledge based on published data and expert opinion to guide diagnostic evaluation, treatment and monitoring of patients with CAPS, TRAPS, MKD and DIRA, and to standardise and improve care, quality of life and disease outcomes.

Abstract
The skin barrier would not function without IL-1 family members, but their physiological role in the immunological aspects of skin barrier function are often overlooked. This review summarises the role of IL-1 family cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-18, IL-33, IL-36α, IL-36β, IL-36γ, IL-36Ra, IL-37 and IL-38) in the skin. We focus on novel aspects of their interaction with commensals and pathogens, the important impact of proteases on cytokine activity, on healing responses and inflammation limiting mechanisms. We discuss IL-1 family cytokines in the context of IL-4/IL-13 and IL-23/IL-17 axis-driven diseases and highlight consequences of human loss/gain of function mutations in activating or inhibitory pathway molecules. This review highlights recent findings that emphasize the importance of IL-1 family cytokines in both physiological and pathological cutaneous inflammation and emergent translational therapeutics that are helping further elucidate these cytokines.

Abstract
The overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, resulting in what has been described as a cytokine storm or cytokine release syndrome (CRS), may be the key factor in the pathology of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is also a crucial cause of death from COVID-19. With the purpose of finding effective and low-toxicity drugs to mitigate CRS, IL-1 blockade agents, which are one of the safest ways to stop this overwhelming innate immune response, are already available in several preliminary reports or are under observational trials and may offer an important treatment option in hyperinflammatory COVID-19. In this review, we described the key information in both case reports and clinical studies on the potential beneficial features of IL-1 inhibitors in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an auto-inflammatory bone disorder with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, from unifocal to multifocal lesions. When it manifests with multifocal lesions, it is also referred to as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). CNO/CRMO can affect all age groups, with the pediatric population being the most common. Patients may present with systemic inflammation, but there is no pathognomonic laboratory finding. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard radiological tool for diagnosis. In the absence of validated diagnostic criteria, CNO/CRMO remains an exclusion diagnosis. Bone biopsy does not show a specific disease pattern, but it may be necessary in unifocal or atypical cases to differentiate it from malignancy or infection. First-line treatments are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), while bisphosphonates or TNF-α blockers can be used in refractory cases. The disease course is unpredictable, and uncontrolled lesions can complicate with bone fractures and deformations, underlying the importance of long-term follow-up in these patients.

Abstract
The use of biologic agents as therapies for atopic diseases such as asthma and atopic dermatitis has increased greatly in recent years. The biological agents used to treat atopic diseases are for the most part monoclonal antibodies that suppress the immune response and reduce inflammation by targeting particular cytokines or other molecules involved in Th1, Th2, or Th17 immune reactions. Various side effects and rare complications have been reported from these agents. In this review, we discuss mechanisms of various adverse effects for the biologic agents currently in use or in development for atopic and inflammatory diseases. Monoclonal antibodies targeting the Th1 and Th17 pathways have been associated with significant side effects, partially due to their ability to cause significant impairment in immune responses to pathogens because of the immunologic alterations that they produce. Biologicals targeting Th2-mediated inflammation have had fewer reported side effects, though many are new and emerging drugs whose adverse effects may remain to be fully elucidated with more use. Therefore, continued long-term safety monitoring is required. As with all therapies, the risks associated with side effects of biologics must be balanced against the benefits these drugs offer for treating atopic diseases. One of the most apparent benefits is the steroid-sparing effect of well-chosen biologic therapy used to treat severe atopic disease. In contrast with the quite favorable safety profile of currently available biologics that target the Th2-mediated immune response, chronic systemic corticosteroid use is associated with significant side effects, many of which impact the majority of patients who are placed on long-term steroid therapy.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-1 family cytokines initiate inflammatory responses, and shape innate and adaptive immunity. They play important roles in host defense, but excessive immune activation can also lead to the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. Dysregulated IL-1 family signaling is observed in a variety of skin disorders. In particular, IL-1 family cytokines have been linked to the pathogenesis of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. The biological activity of pro-inflammatory IL-1 family agonists is controlled by the natural receptor antagonists IL-1Ra and IL-36Ra, as well as by the regulatory cytokines IL-37 and IL-38. These four anti-inflammatory IL-1 family members are constitutively and highly expressed at steady state in the epidermis, where keratinocytes are a major producing cell type. In this review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge concerning their regulatory roles in skin biology and inflammation and their therapeutic potential in human inflammatory skin diseases. We further highlight some common misunderstandings and less well-known observations, which persist in the field despite recent extensive interest for these cytokines.

Abstract
Autoinflammatory syndromes are a steadily growing group of inflammatory diseases caused by abnormal regulations of the innate immune system. The clinical presentation is multifaceted, but recurrent fever, skin involvement, joint inflammation and other systemic symptoms of inflammation are characteristic. In contrast to classic autoimmune diseases, autoantibodies or specific T cells are not involved in the pathogenesis. In fact, innate immunity plays the most important role in autoinflammation. While activation of the innate immune system is usually self-limiting in healthy individuals, mutations and dysregulation can lead to chronic and excessive activation of innate immune responses and to the development of autoinflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) represent one of the most important classes of biotherapeutic agents. They are used to cure many diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, angiogenesis-related diseases and, more recently also haemophilia. They can be highly varied in terms of format, source, and specificity to improve efficacy and to obtain more targeted applications. This can be achieved by leaving substantially unchanged the basic structural components for paratope clustering. OBJECTIVES The objective was to trace the most relevant findings that have deserved prestigious awards over the years, to report the most important clinical applications and to emphasize their latest emerging therapeutic trends. RESULTS We report the most relevant milestones and new technologies adopted for antibody development. Recent efforts in generating new engineered antibody-based formats are briefly reviewed. The most important antibody-based molecules that are (or are going to be) used for pharmacological practice have been collected in useful tables. CONCLUSION The topics here discussed prove the undisputed role of mAbs as innovative biopharmaceuticals molecules and as vital components of targeted pharmacological therapies.

A case report of a novel compound heterozygous mutation in a Brazilian patient with deficiency of Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (DIRA). Pediatr Rheumatol Online J 2020; 18:67. [PMID: 32819369 PMCID: PMC7439677 DOI: 10.1186/s12969-020-00454-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2019] [Accepted: 08/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Deficiency of the natural antagonist of interleukin-1 was first described in 2009 and so far 20 patients has been reported. In Brazil just two cases have been reported both carrying the same homozygous 15 bp deletion. Blocking interleukin-1 has changed rate survival for DIRA patients. The use of anakinra and rilonacept has been reported safe and efficient, whereas the selective blockade of interleukin-1 beta, using the monoclonal antibody canakinumab has been reported in a single case only. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report a case of a 7 years old Brazilian boy that presented with recurrent episodes of systemic inflammation with severe disabling osteomyelitis with mild pustular skin rash. A Next Generation Sequencing gene panel allowed to detect two pathogenic mutations in the IL1RN gene, described in compound heterozygosity. Corticosteroids was effective in controlling inflammation and anti-IL1 beta blocker triggered disease flare. Complete clinical control could be achieved using IL-1 receptor antagonist. CONCLUSIONS DIRA is a severe, life threatening autoinflammatory condition with low numbers of patients described all over the world. The mutation p.Asp72_Ile76del in IL1RN is presented in all Brazilian DIRA patients already described and p.Q45* (rs1019766125) is a new mutation affecting the IL1RN gene. Following the pathogenesis of DIRA, blocking both subunits of interleukin one as well as antagonizing the receptor using anakinra or rilonacept seems to be effective. There is just one report using canakinumab for the treatment of DIRA and this is the first report of disease flare using this drug.

Abstract
Targeting interleukins that drive innate inflammation has expanded treatments of autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Interleukin (IL)-1 inhibition has proven useful for monogenic autoinflammatory syndromes, and IL-6 inhibition for autoimmune arthritides. Biological therapies impeding these pathways impair detection and containment of pathogens, particularly invasive bacteria, reflecting the importance of IL-1 and IL-6 in communicating danger throughout the immune system. Biologics targeting T helper type 2 inflammation are used to treat specific allergic, atopic, and eosinophilic diseases. They may impair protections against local herpesvirus reactivations while augmenting antiviral responses to respiratory viruses. Their risks with helminth exposures have yet to be defined.

Abstract
Cancer is a category of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade other parts of the body. Chemotherapy is the most widely used first-line treatment for multiple forms of cancer. Chemotherapeutic agents act via targeting the cellular apoptotic pathway. However, cancer cells usually acquire chemoresistance, leading to poor outcomes in cancer patients. For that reason, it is imperative to discover other cell death pathways for improved cancer intervention. Pyroptosis is a new form of programmed cell death that commonly occurs upon pathogen invasion. Pyroptosis is marked by cell swelling and plasma membrane rupture, which results in the release of cytosolic contents into the extracellular space. Currently, pyroptosis is proposed to be an alternative mode of cell death in cancer treatment. Accumulating evidence shows that the key components of pyroptotic cell death pathways, including inflammasomes, gasdermins and pro-inflammatory cytokines, are involved in the initiation and progression of cancer. Interfering with pyroptotic cell death pathways may represent a promising therapeutic option for cancer management. In this review, we describe the current knowledge regarding the biological significance of pyroptotic cell death pathways in cancer pathogenesis and also discuss their potential therapeutic utility.

Abstract
DIRA (deficiency of the IL-1Ra) is a rare condition that usually presents in the neonatal period. Patients with DIRA present with systemic inflammation, respiratory distress, joint swelling, pustular rash, multifocal osteomyelitis, and periostitis. Previously, we reported a patient with a novel mutation in IL1RN with a healthy neonatal period, a late-onset of pustular dermatosis, inflammatory arthritis, and excellent response to canakinumab treatment. Herein, we are presenting a new case of late-onset DIRA syndrome, carrying a different mutation and showing different clinical findings. This patient is the first one in the literature with the inflammatory arthritis, nail psoriasis, and onychomycosis and with her remarkable response to monoclonal antibodies. The case responded well and fully recovered after treatment with adalimumab, but not with canakinumab. The DIRA disease can lead to death from multiple organ failures and if recognized early, the treatment with replacement of the deficient protein with biologic agents induces rapid and complete remission. Therefore, clinical symptoms should be learned exactly by the pediatricians, pediatric rheumatologists, and immunologists; and molecular analysis targeting this defect must be performed as early as possible.

Abstract
The autoinflammatory diseases comprise a broad spectrum of disorders characterized by unchecked activation of the innate immune system. Whereas aberrations in adaptive immunity have long been identified in 'autoimmune' disorders, the concept of 'autoinflammation' emerged relatively recently, first describing a group of clinical disorders characterized by spontaneous episodes of systemic inflammation without manifestations typical of autoimmune disorders. Improved knowledge of innate immune mechanisms, coupled with remarkable progress in genomics and an expanding number of clinical cases, has since led to an increasing number of disorders classified as autoinflammatory or containing an autoinflammatory component. Biologic therapies targeting specific components of the innate immune system have provided immense clinical benefit, and have further elucidated the role of innate immunity in autoinflammatory disorders. This article reviews the basic mechanisms of autoinflammation, followed by an update on the pathophysiology and treatment of the monogenic and multifactorial autoinflammatory diseases, and the common dermatologic conditions in which autoinflammation plays a major role.

Abstract
Majeed syndrome (MS) is a rare, autosomal recessive, autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, and inflammatory dermatome. In this article, we report the cases of two siblings with MS. Genetic studies of both siblings were obtained and revealed mutations in LPIN2 gene by means of a homozygous single-base pair change in the donor splice site of exon 17 (c.2327+1G>C). Both patients underwent different modalities of treatment for MS which involved immune-suppressive and biologic therapies. We observed a significant clinical response to biologic anti-interleukin-1 (IL-1) therapy in our patients. This impressive clinical response indicates the pivotal role of IL-1 in MS pathogenesis. There are limited data on the use of anti-IL-1 therapy in treating MS due to the rarity of the condition. Anti-IL-1 therapy should be considered as a promising treatment for this disease.

Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2018; 8:539-556.

Abstract
Introduction Deficiencies in interleukin (IL)-1 receptor (IL-R) antagonist (DIRA) and IL-36R antagonist (DITRA) are rare genetic autoinflammatory diseases related to alterations in antagonists of the IL-1 pathway. IL-1 antagonists may represent therapeutic alternatives. Here, we aim to provide a scoping review of knowledge on use of IL-1-targeting drugs in DIRA and DITRA. Methods An a priori protocol was published, and the study was conducted using the methodology described in the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer’s Manual and the recently published PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review statement. A three-step search using MEDLINE and EMBASE databases until March 2018 with additional hand searching was performed. Data charting was performed. The search, article selection, and data extraction were carried out by two researchers independently. Results Twenty-four studies on use of anti-IL-1 drugs were included [15 studies including patients with diagnosis of DIRA (n = 19) and 9 studies including patients with diagnosis of DITRA (n = 9)]. Most studies followed a multicenter observational design. Among all patients who received treatment with anti-IL-1 drugs, nine and four mutations in IL1RN and IL36RN were found, respectively. Patients with DIRA were treated with anakinra (n = 17), canakinumab (n = 2), or rinolacept (n = 6). All patients with DITRA were treated with anakinra, and only one case was also treated with canakinumab. Time-to-response frequencies were evaluated as immediate, short, and medium–long term for DIRA (17/17, 15/17, and 9/10, respectively) and DITRA (7/9, 3/9, and 2/9, respectively). Most DITRA patients in whom anti-IL-1 treatment failed experienced good response to anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha or anti-IL-12/23 drugs. The safety profiles of treatments were similar in both diseases. Conclusions Evidence on use of anti-IL-1 drugs in DIRA and DITRA is scarce and based on observational studies. Larger studies with better methodological quality are needed to increase confidence in use of these drugs in patients with DIRA and DITRA.
