Methylation-Dependent Gene Silencing Induced by Interleukin 1β via Nitric Oxide Production [PDF]
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,

Peptidoglycan and teichoic acid fromStaphylococcus epidermidisstimulate human monocytes to release tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 [PDF]
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.

Metformin Inhibits the Production of Reactive Oxygen Species from NADH:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase to Limit Induction of Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and Boosts Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated Macrophages [PDF]
Metformin, a frontline treatment for type II diabetes mellitus, decreases production of the pro-form of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β in response to LPS in macrophages. We found that it specifically inhibited pro-IL-1β production, having no effect on TNF-α.

Isoflurane induces learning impairment that is mediated by interleukin 1β in rodents. [PDF]
Postoperative cognitive decline is a clinical syndrome. Volatile anesthetics are commonly used during surgery. It is conceivable that volatile anesthetics may contribute to postoperative cognitive decline.

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]
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 ...

Interleukin-1β sequesters hypoxia inducible factor 2α to the primary cilium. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The primary cilium coordinates signalling in development, health and disease. Previously we have shown that the cilium is essential for the anabolic response to loading and the inflammatory response to interleukin-1β (IL-1β).
