Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist expression is inversely associated with outcomes of hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure

Abstract: Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory antagonist of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1, a critical factor in many inflammatory diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of IL-1ra in hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HB-ACLF). Serum cytokine concentrations were measured using a Q-Plex array in 31 patients with HB-ACLF, 28 patients with acute hepatitis B (AHB), 31 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and 15 healthy contr… Show more

“…IL-1 plays a key role in immune response and inflammation. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) is a natural anti-inflammatory antagonist of IL-1, induces the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines (like IL-10 and IL-4), and reduces the production of proinflammatory cytokines (like IFN- γ , IL-1, and IL-6) [ 17 ], reducing inflammation through competitive inhibition without triggering signaling cascades [ 18 ]. Imbalance of IL-1RA and IL-1 lead to the progression of various diseases [ 19 ].…”

“…IL-1RA also owns an antiapoptotic effect in acute and chronic inflammation and can facilitate the proliferation of liver cell [ 21 ]. Serum IL-1RA concentration was negatively correlated with the end-stage liver disease score model, IL-1RA concentration, and IL-1RA/IL-1 β ratio of HBV-ACLF patients in the death group was pronouncedly lower than those in the survival group [ 17 ]. This indicates that IL-1RA is vital in liver inflammation, and liver inflammation is relatively decreased in patients with HBV-ACLF, which is negatively correlated with the severity of the disease [ 17 ].…”
