“…Supporting this notion, several subsequent studies have also demonstrated Caspase-1 deficiency is protective against murine atherosclerosis (160, 161). Moreover, IL-1β inhibition is known to reduce atherosclerosis in mice deficient in Apoe (162), and elevated IL-1β levels are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis in humans (163). These findings all support a model in which the predominant NLRP3-dependent cytokines, IL-1β and IL-18, are central to disease progression.…”

“…IL-1␤ levels increase in the arterial plaques, and the levels of IL-1␤ directly correlate with disease severity (27,28). Patients with a polymorphism in the IL-1 receptor antagonist, which increases IL-1␤ production, have increased risk of developing atherosclerosis (29). The role of NAD ϩ and the sirtuins in the development of atherosclerosis has yet to be investigated.…”

“…For example, the balance between IL-1b and IL-1Ra has been reported to influence atherosclerosis development in human atherosclerotic arteries [22,23]. In addition, reduced levels of IL-1Ra led to aggravation of murine atherosclerosis [23], and patients with polymorphism in the IL-1Ra intron 2, which is known to increase IL-1Ra levels and possibly the IL-1Ra:IL-1b ratio, were associated with reduced coronary atherosclerosis [24]. Although it has been well documented that IL-1b and IL-1Ra play a central role in vascular pathogenesis through modulation of pro-atherogenic action including VSMC proliferation [25], the underlying molecular mechanisms that regulate the balance between the actions of IL-1Ra and IL-1b in atherosclerosis are not clearly understood.…”
