Induction of the interleukin 1 receptor antagonist protein by transforming growth factor‐β

European Journal of Immunology, 1991
AbstractTransforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) mediates many immunosuppressive effects on immune cells and can inhibit the production of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 1 (IL 1). However, TGF‐β1 can stimulate the production of IL6 and platelet‐derived growth factor, indicating that TGF‐β1 initiates complex effects on the production of cytokines ...

Nlrp6 promotes recovery after peripheral nerve injury independently of inflammasomes [PDF]

, 2015
Background: NOD-like receptors (Nlrs) are key regulators of immune responses during infection and autoimmunity. A subset of Nlrs assembles inflammasomes, molecular platforms that are activated in response to endogenous danger and microbial ligands and ...

Influence of lipopolysaccharide on proinflammatory gene expression in human corneal, conjunctival and meibomian gland epithelial cells [PDF]

, 2018
PURPOSE: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial endotoxin, is known to stimulate leuokotriene B4 (LTB4) secretion by human corneal (HCECs), conjunctival (HConjECs) and meibomian gland (HMGECs) epithelial cells.

Soluble interleukin‐1 receptor accessory protein ameliorates collagen‐induced arthritis by a different mode of action from that of interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist [PDF]

Arthritis & Rheumatism, 2005
AbstractObjectiveTo discern the mode of interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) inhibition of soluble IL‐1 receptor accessory protein (sIL‐1RAcP) by comparison with IL‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra) in arthritis.MethodsAdenoviral vectors encoding either sIL‐1RAcP or IL‐1Ra were administered systemically before onset of collagen‐induced arthritis in DBA/1 mice.

Helicobacter pylori Seropositivity in Patients with Interleukin-1 Polymorphisms Is Significantly Associated with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Helicobacter pylori infection and interleukin-1 polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. We examined the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori seropositivity and interleukin-1 polymorphisms between ST-segment elevation ...

Identification of Suitable Drug Combinations for Treating COVID-19 Using a Novel Machine Learning Approach: The RAIN Method

Life, 2022
COVID-19 affects several human genes, each with its own p-value. The combination of drugs associated with these genes with small p-values may lead to an estimation of the combined p-value between COVID-19 and some drug combinations, thereby increasing ...

Interleukin-1 polymorphisms associated with increased risk of gastric cancer [PDF]

, 2000
Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with a variety of clinical outcomes including gastric cancer and duodenal ulcer disease. The reasons for this variation are not clear, but the gastric physiological response is influenced by the severity and ...
