Solution structure of human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein [PDF]
Interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist protein (IRAP) is a naturally occurring inhibitor of the interleukin‐1 receptor. In contrast to IL‐1β IRAP binds to the IL‐1 receptor but does not elicit a physiological response. We have determined the solution structure of IRAP using NMR spectroscopy.

Interleukin−1 receptor antagonist and heat shock protein 90alfa are independently associated with fatigue and general health in euthyroid Hashimoto’s thyroiditis [PDF]
BackgroundPatients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis frequently experience fatigue and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL) despite biochemical euthyroidism, suggesting that immune-mediated mechanisms beyond thyroid hormone deficiency contribute to

This Finnish population-based study, mean age 46 years, evaluates the association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and adiponectin with the NCEP and IDF definitions of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Adiponectin levels were higher, hs-CRP and IL-1Ra levels lower in subjects without MetS compared to

An interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein protects insulin-producing Beta cells against suppressive effects of interleukin-1? [PDF]
The cytokine interleukin-1 beta may have an important role in the autoimmune mediated damage of pancreatic Beta cells in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. In the present study we have investigated the effects of an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein, a blocker of the type I interleukin-1 receptor, on the suppressive actions of recombinant ...

Recombinant IL-38 Alleviates Temporomandibular Joint Synovial Inflammation via IL-1R1-NF-κB-IL1β Pathway [PDF]
Introduction and aims: Interleukin (IL)-38 has been identified as an anti-inflammatory cytokine; however, its specific role in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) synovial inflammation and the identity of its functional receptors remain elusive.

Radiolabeling with fluorine-18 of a protein, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist [PDF]
IL-1RA is a naturally occurring antagonist of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) with high therapeutic promise, but its pharmacokinetic remains poorly documented. In this report, we describe the radiolabeling of recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (rhIL-1RA) with fluorine-18 to allow pharmacokinetic studies by positron ...
