Blocking interleukin-1 receptors

International Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Research

Summary

During inflammation, injury, immunological challenge or infection, interleukin-1 appears to mediate, in part, the pathogenesis, of disease. Most studies on interleukin-1 are derived from experiments in which bacterial products, such as endotoxins from Gram-negative bacteria or exotoxins from Gram-positive organisms, are used to stimulate macrophagic cells. In general, several cytokines are induced by microbes to their products. Although cytokines are thought to play a role in the outcome of disease, only a few have been directly implicated as mediators of the pathogenic mechanisms of the host. Studies on specific inhibition of interleukin-1 activity have employed interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, interleukin-1 receptors blocking antibodies or soluble interleukin-1 receptors. Experiments in vitro, in animal models of disease and in human subjects have shed considerable light on a critical role for interleukin-1 in the pathogenesis of disease. This review focuses on interleukin-1 as a cytokine of strategic importance to the outcome of disease, particularly inflammatory and infectious diseases.
