Interleukin 1 Alpha and Beta in Psoriatic Skin: Enzymoimmunoassay, Immunoblot Studies and Effect of Systemic Retinoids

Abstract: Interleukin 1α (IL-1α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) proteins were studied by enzymoimmunoassay (EIA) and Immunoblot analysis in the 10,000 g supernatant of normal and psoriatic (lesional and nonlesional) human skin specimens. By EIA IL-1α was the principal form detected in all the specimens which contrasts with the predominance of IL-1β in human blood monocytes. In psoriatic plaques relatively less IL-1α and more IL-1β were detected. On Immunoblot analysis the mature form (17 kD) was not detected in normal skin,… Show more

“…[32][33][34][35][36][37] Interestingly, IL-1a, IL-1b and IL-1Ra produced by HKs and PKs were differentially regulated with respect to the above proinflammatory cytokines. IL-1a and IL-1Ra measured in the supernatants of PKs were reduced comparatively to HKs (PK/HK ¼ 0.5 and 0.2, respectively), while IL-1b was increased by a factor of 7.7.…”

“…The role of IL-1, which is constitutively produced by normal human epidermal keratinocytes (Gahring et al 1985 ;Hauser et al 1986 ;Bell et al 1987), in psoriasis has been a great concern of many investigators (Camp et al 1986;Takematsu et al 1986 ;Gruaz et al 1989 ;Romero et al 1989). It has also not been settled whether the decreased IL-1 activity is due to an actual decrease or the presence of inhibitor of IL-1, and whether the biologic activity in the stmatum corneum is due to IL-la, f3, or both.…”

“…ILla levels were low but not decreased in suction blister fluids from PP skin [9]. In contrast to IL-la, cytosolic extracts of PP skin contained increased levels of a processed, but non-functional form of IL-16 [6,71. IL-1fi levels were negligible in extracts of the stratum corneum and in blister fluids [8, 91 and its expression seemed confined to the plasma membrane and the intracellular compartment of epidermal cells (EC) [lo, 111.…”
