The AIM2 inflammasome is critical for innate immunity to Francisella tularensis. [PDF]
Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, infects host macrophages, which triggers production of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-18. We elucidate here how host macrophages recognize F.

Dibutyltin‐induced alterations of interleukin 1beta secretion from human immune cells [PDF]
AbstractDibutyltin (DBT) is used to stabilize polyvinyl chloride plastics (including pipes that distribute drinking water) and as a de‐worming agent in poultry. DBT is found in human blood, and DBT exposures alter the secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interferon gamma from lymphocytes.

Neutrophil Elastase Promotes Interleukin-1 beta Secretion from Human Coronary Endothelium [PDF]
The endothelium is critically involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by producing pro-inflammatory mediators, including IL-1β. Coronary arteries from patients with ischemic heart disease express large amounts of IL-1β in the endothelium. However,

Optogenetic Stimulation Enhances Interleukin-1beta Levels in Cultured Neurons [PDF]
The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1) has a role in physiological regulation, e.g. sleep, and in pathology including the chronic inflammation associated sleep disorders and in the neuropathology of brain trauma, epilepsy and stroke. Sleep and inflammation are affected by cell activity. However, a mechanistic connection between specific

Cysteine redox potential determines pro-inflammatory IL-1beta levels.
BackgroundCysteine (Cys) and its disulfide, cystine (CySS) represent the major extracellular thiol/disulfide redox control system. The redox potential (E(h)) of Cys/CySS is centered at approximately -80 mV in the plasma of healthy adults, and oxidation ...

Imidazoline compounds protect against interleukin 1beta-induced beta-cell apoptosis. [PDF]
Imidazoline compounds have been considered for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We have now investigated the effects of imidazolines on interleukin (IL)-1beta-induced beta-cell apoptosis and the signal transduction pathways involved. Inhibition of Ca2+ influx into beta-cells by D-600, a blocker of voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels, suppressed IL ...

Interleukin 1beta in serum of women with preterm uterine contractions
Preterm delivery is a major obstetric and public health problem, accounting for 50-70% of all perinatal deaths. An enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) test was used to determine serum interleukin 1b (IL-1b) levels in 32 women with preterm contractions compared with 26 women in term labour and 11 normal preterm pregnant women.
