Intracellular Chloride Concentration Changes Modulate IL-1β Expression and Secretion in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cultured Cells [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which encodes a cAMP‐regulated chloride channel. Several cellular functions are altered in CF cells. However, it is not clear how the CFTR failure induces those alterations.

Interleukin 1 Signaling Is Regulated by Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) and Is Aberrant in Lif−/− Mouse Uterus [PDF]
This study addresses the regulation of the interleukin 1 (IL1) system in the murine uterine luminal epithelium (LE) and stroma by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Using RT-PCR we compared expression of Il1a, Il1b, Il1rn, Il1r1, and Il1r2 during the pre-

Biological role of interleukin 1 receptor antagonist isoforms [PDF]
The interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1Ra) family of molecules now includes one secreted isoform (sIL1Ra) and three intracellular isoforms (icIL1Ra1, 2, and 3). Extensive evidence indicates that the sole biological function of sIL1Ra seems to be to competitively inhibit IL1 binding to cell-surface receptors.

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (anakinra) for Schnitzler syndrome [PDF]
Schnitzler syndrome is a rare autoinflammatory disease, which is defined by the presence of two major criteria: chronic urticaria and monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM) or immunoglobulin G gammopathy, in combination with at least two additional minor criteria: recurrent fever, leukocytosis and/or elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), objective signs of ...
