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.

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

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 ...

The Clinical Significance of Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist +2018 Polymorphism in Rheumatoid Arthritis. [PDF]
Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) acts as an inhibitor of IL-1; which is one of the culprit cytokines in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although +2018 polymorphism of IL-1Ra has been implicated in the pathogenesis of RA, its importance remains ...

Expression profiles of TRPV1, TRPV4, TLR4 and ERK1/2 in the dorsal root ganglionic neurons of a cancer-induced neuropathy rat model [PDF]
Background: The spread of tumors through neural routes is common in several types of cancer in which patients suffer from a moderate-to-severe neuropathy, neural damage and a distorted quality of life. Here we aim to examine the expression profiles of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 ...

Genetic Variation in Toll-Interacting Protein Is Associated With Leprosy Susceptibility and Cutaneous Expression of Interleukin 1 Receptor Antagonist [PDF]
Leprosy is a chronic disease characterized by skin and peripheral nerve pathology and immune responses that fail to control Mycobacterium leprae. Toll-interacting protein (TOLLIP) regulates Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin 1 receptor (IL-1R) signaling against mycobacteria. We analyzed messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of candidate immune genes in
