Methylation-Dependent Gene Silencing Induced by Interleukin 1β via Nitric Oxide Production [PDF]
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1999 Interleukin (IL)-1β is a pleiotropic cytokine implicated in a variety of activities, including damage of insulin-producing cells, brain injury, or neuromodulatory responses. Many of these effects are mediated by nitric oxide (NO) produced by the induction of NO synthase (iNOS) expression. We report here that IL-1β provokes a marked repression of genes,

Polyene Macrolide Antifungal Drugs Trigger Interleukin-1β Secretion by Activating the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The use of antimycotic drugs in fungal infections is based on the concept that they suppress fungal growth by a direct killing effect. However, amphotericin and nystatin have been reported to also trigger interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion in monocytes but the molecular mechanism is unknown.

Truncated Chicken Interleukin-1β with Increased Biologic Activity [PDF]
, 2003 Chicken interleukin-1β (ChIL-1β) is synthesized as a precursor molecule that unlike its mammalian counterpart, lacks a typical caspase-1 cleavage site. Therefore, it was unclear if proteolytic cleavage of ChIL-1β can occur and if cleavage might modulate ...

Peptidoglycan and teichoic acid fromStaphylococcus epidermidisstimulate human monocytes to release tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1993 Cytokines play a major role in the pathophysiology of septic shock. In this study, human peripheral blood monocytes were stimulated with peptidoglycan and teichoic acid, purified from a strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Polymyxin B (PM-B) was added to avoid the effects of possible contamination with endotoxin.

Dexamethasone suppresses interleukin-1β-induced human β-defensin 2 mRNA expression: involvement of p38 MAPK, JNK, MKP-1, and NF-κB transcriptional factor in A549 cells [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2007 Human beta-defensin (HBD)-2 is an inducible antimicrobial peptide that plays an important role in innate immunity. Glucocorticoids, on the other hand, exert immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory actions. We have previously reported that interleukin (IL)-1beta induces HBD-2 mRNA expression through the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB ...
