Physiologic role of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist.
Recent studies have described the spontaneous development of arthritis or vasculitis in IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) knockout mice bred on specific and different genetic backgrounds. The levels of both secreted and intracellular isoforms of IL-1Ra produced in the rheumatoid joint or in the arterial wall may not be adequate to effectively inhibit ...

Fetal skin as a pro-inflammatory organ: Evidence from a primate model of chorioamnionitis. [PDF]
BackgroundIntrauterine infection is a primary cause of preterm birth and fetal injury. The pro-inflammatory role of the fetal skin in the setting of intrauterine infection remains poorly characterized. Whether or not inflammation of the fetal skin occurs

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 ...

Association of the Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Gene with Asthma [PDF]
The interleukin-1 cluster on human chromosome 2q12-2q14 harbors various promising candidate genes for asthma and other inflammatory diseases. We conducted a systematic association study with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in candidate genes situated in this cluster.

Interaction between Cannabinoid System and Toll-Like Receptors Controls Inflammation [PDF]
Since the discovery of the endocannabinoid system consisting of cannabinoid receptors, endogenous ligands, and biosynthetic and metabolizing enzymes, interest has been renewed in investigating the promise of cannabinoids as therapeutic agents.

An Autoinflammatory Disease with Deficiency of the Interleukin-1–Receptor Antagonist [PDF]
Autoinflammatory diseases manifest inflammation without evidence of infection, high-titer autoantibodies, or autoreactive T cells. We report a disorder caused by mutations of IL1RN, which encodes the interleukin-1-receptor antagonist, with prominent involvement of skin and bone.We studied nine children from six families who had neonatal onset of ...
