Background: chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial disease, those mechanisms are not fully understood. A significant role of cytokines, e.g., interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α, IL-10, IL-17А, IL-4, and their genes, in the pathogenesis predisposition to CRSwNP treatment efficacy established. Aim: investigate IL-1β (Т-31С), TNF-α (G-308A), IL-10 (G-...

It has been known that activation of the central innate immune system or exposure to stress can disrupt balance of anti-/proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the modulation of depressive-like behaviors, the hormonal and neurotransmitter systems in rats. We investigated whether centrally administered IL-1β ...

sleep plays a vital role in regulating physiological mechanisms in the human body. nowadays, by the change of lifestyle and as a consequence of longer work hours and increased accessibility to media, sleep disturbance becomes a common problem in modern society. many studies demonstrated that sleep disturbance triggers a systemic low-grade inflammation by increasing the level of several cytokine...

Silicosis is an occupational lung disease caused by the inhalation of silica dust and characterized by lung inflammation and fibrosis. Interleukin (IL)-1β is induced by silica and functions as the key pro-inflammatory cytokine in this process. The Th17 response, which is induced by IL-1β, has been reported very important in chronic human lung inflammatory diseases. To elucidate the underlying m...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fulminant hepatitis failure (FHF) is marked by the sudden loss of hepatic function, with a severe life-threatening course in persons with no prior history of liver disease. Interleukin (IL)-1α and IL-1β are key inflammatory cytokines but little is known about their role in the development of FHF. The aim of this study was to assess the involvement of IL-1α and IL-1β in the p...

Interleukins (IL) are key mediators of the host response to infection and inflammation. Leptin is secreted by adipose tissue and plays an important role in the control of food intake. Administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), or IL-1 acutely increases leptin mRNA and protein levels. To investigate the role of IL-1β and IL-6 in leptin expression during inflammation...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease mainly characterized by cartilage degradation. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) contributes to OA pathogenesis by enhancing oxidative stress and inflammation. Melatonin reportedly elicits potent protection against OA. However, the role of melatonin and underlying mechanism in IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes remain largely unclear. In this study, we found ...

Objective(s):In the present study, we evaluated immunological and immunomodulatory properties of royal jelly (RJ) in 2,4,6 trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats. Materials and Methods: Eighteen adult female Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups of six animals each: a control group that received only saline solution, a TNBS-induced colitis group, and a TNBS-co...

IL-1β and TNF are potential targets in the management of neuropathic pain after injury. However, the importance of the IL-1 and TNF systems for peripheral nerve regeneration and the mechanisms by which these cytokines mediate effects are to be fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that mRNA and protein levels of IL-1β and TNF are rapidly upregulated in the injured mouse sciatic nerve. Mice lac...
