IL-1βand IL-6 Upregulation in Children with H1N1 Influenza Virus Infection

Abstract: The role of cytokines in relation to clinical manifestations, disease severity, and outcome of children with H1N1 virus infection remains thus far unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate interleukin IL-1β and IL-6 plasma expressions and their association with clinical findings, disease severity, and outcome of children with H1N1 infection. We prospectively evaluated 15 children with H1N1 virus infection and 15 controls with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). Interleukin plasma levels were measur… Show more

“…Our results showed that IL1B and IL6 were significantly upregulated in the trachea and ileum of chickens, which is different from their expression levels in samples collected from ducks. Recent studies have shown a positive correlation between the severity of the clinical manifestations and IL6 expression levels in animals (Marais et al, 2011;Chiaretti et al, 2013). It was possible to account for different manifestation of clinical signs in the two species after infection with H9N2.…”

“…Interleukin 1β has been shown to be elevated in pediatric patients with severe influenza, but so has its antagonist. 43,44 In addition, IL-1 receptor antagonist polymorphisms have been associated with severe community-acquired pneumonia in children. 45 How inflammasome activation and RLR signaling differ between children and adults is unknown and represents an important area of future investigation.…”

“…These cytokines are important to induce inflammatory responses and to restrict viral replication and spread (Dienz et al, 2012). Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines are closely correlated with severity of clinical diseases, including airway inflammation and acute lung injury during influenza infection in children (Chiaretti et al, 2013). On the other hand, activation of the TBK1/IKKε/NEMO complex leads to activation of IRF3 and production type I interferon (IFN), including IFNα and IFNβ (Fitzgerald et al, 2003; Sankar et al, 2006; Zhong et al, 2008).…”
