Interleukin-6, interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist levels in epileptic seizures [PDF]

Seizure, 2013
Data are accumulating to support the involvement of inflammatory mechanisms in the pathogenesis and course of epilepsy.The aim of this study was to examine seizure-induced changes in plasma concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in 23 patients with epilepsy undergoing a video ...

Interleukin-1 Beta—A Friend or Foe in Malignancies? [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is induced by inflammatory signals in a broad number of immune cell types. IL-1β (and IL-18) are the only cytokines which are processed by caspase-1 after inflammasome-mediated activation. This review aims to summarize current knowledge about parameters of regulation of IL-1β expression and its multi-facetted role in ...

Are Serum Procalcitonin and Interleukin-1 Beta Suitable Markers for Diagnosis of Acute Pyelonephritis in Children?

Prague Medical Report, 2014
Rapid diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis is important because of its association with long-standing complications. This study was conducted to compare the reliability of serum procalcitonin (PCT) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) with conventional laboratory

Concentrations of Interleukin-1ß in Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Saliva – a Potential Diagnostic Biomarker of Periodontal Diseases [PDF]

Folia Medica, 2020
Introduction: Bacterial challenge in periodontal diseases activates both local and systemic immune responses of a macroorganism by increasing multiple proinflammatory factors that can be discovered in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and in saliva.

Nlrp6 promotes recovery after peripheral nerve injury independently of inflammasomes [PDF]

, 2015
Background: NOD-like receptors (Nlrs) are key regulators of immune responses during infection and autoimmunity. A subset of Nlrs assembles inflammasomes, molecular platforms that are activated in response to endogenous danger and microbial ligands and ...

PKR deficiency alleviates pulmonary hypertension via inducing inflammasome adaptor ASC inactivation

Pulmonary Circulation, 2021
Pulmonary hypertension is a progressive fatal disease that currently has no specific therapeutic approaches. In this study, dsRNA‐dependent protein kinase (PKR) was considered a candidate molecule in pulmonary hypertension.

Caspase-1 engagement and TLR-induced c-FLIP expression suppress ASC/caspase-8-dependent apoptosis by inflammasome sensors NLRP1b and NLRC4 [PDF]

, 2017
The caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD)-based inflammasome sensors NLRP1b and NLRC4 induce caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis independent of the inflammasome adaptor ASC.
