In the present study we searched for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) in the human interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) gene and for correlations to monocyte (Mo) function in non-related healthy donors and insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha responses of Mo from males (18-35 years) with newly diagnosed (n = 10) and long-standing IDDM (n = 10) and from age- and HLA-DR-matched healthy males (n = 10) were studied.
Twenty-five healthy and eight newly diagnosed IDDM patients were randomly selected to study the Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-purified protein derivate (tuberculin) (PPD)-, and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated monocyte (Mo) secretions of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) and TNF-alpha in relation to the NcoI TNF-beta gene polymorphism.
In the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse, a spontaneous model of IDDM, it was put forward that the disease is linked to a susceptibility locus, called idd5, which contains the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) gene.
The aim of the present study was the estimation of in vitro production of macrophage-derived cytokines: IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-12 by peripheral blood in high risk IDDM first degree relatives, since it could reflect early events leading to the development of type 1 diabetes in humans.
In conclusion, by means of intra-familial TDT analysis we found no linkage or intra-familial association between IDDM and the four IL-1 gene-cluster polymorphisms in Danish IDDM multiplex family material.
Association between interleukin-6 polymorphism and age-at-onset of type 1 diabetes. Epistatic influences of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta polymorphisms.
Mechanistic studies from large scale trials using IL-1 blockade in type 1 diabetes should focus on changes in monocyte trafficking and the IL-8 pathway.
Proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IFN-γ) that mediate β-cell dysfunction in T1D down-regulated HIP14 expression in insulin-secreting INS-1 cells and in isolated rat and human islets.
In this review, after a brief description of IL-1β signaling, we mainly focus on the expression profiles, roles and therapeutic potential of IL-1β in IDD.
Two-thirds of 46 GWAS candidate genes examined were expressed in human islets, and 11 of these significantly changed expression levels following exposure to proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β + IFNγ + TNFα) for 48 h. Using the GWAS single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from each locus, we constructed a genetic risk score based on the cumulative number of risk alleles carried in children with newly diagnosed T1D.
The association between the IL-1α (+889C/T) or IL-1β (+3954C/T) polymorphism and IDD risk was measured by odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
The precise role of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-induced extracellular matrix degeneration in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is currently unknown.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of the IL-1rs1800587 gene polymorphism to susceptibility to T1D in Chinese children.
Overall, our results demonstrate that mDNA-mediated NLRP3 activation triggers caspase-1-dependent IL-1β production and contributes to pathogenic cellular responses during the development of STZ-induced T1D.
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is known to trigger beta cell dysfunction in vitro and could potentially play a role during the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
