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

Biomarker profiles of acute heart failure patients with a mid-range ejection fraction [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: In this study, the authors used biomarker profiles to characterize differences between patients with acute heart failure with a midrange ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and compare them with patients with a reduced (heart failure with a ...

Interleukin 1 Signaling Is Regulated by Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) and Is Aberrant in Lif−/− Mouse Uterus [PDF]
This study addresses the regulation of the interleukin 1 (IL1) system in the murine uterine luminal epithelium (LE) and stroma by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Using RT-PCR we compared expression of Il1a, Il1b, Il1rn, Il1r1, and Il1r2 during the pre-

Neurochemical Changes in the Mouse Hippocampus Underlying the Antidepressant Effect of Genetic Deletion of P2X7 Receptors. [PDF]
Recent investigations have revealed that the genetic deletion of P2X7 receptors (P2rx7) results in an antidepressant phenotype in mice. However, the link between the deficiency of P2rx7 and changes in behavior has not yet been explored.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

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