Steroids induce a disequilibrium of secreted interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and interleukin-1β synthesis by human neutrophils

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by neutrophilic inflammation in the airways and these neutrophils contribute to the production of inflammatory mediators. Dampening the production of proinflammatory mediators might be an important strategy to treat COPD and glucocorticosteroids are known to do so via inhibition of nuclear factor-kB. However, this pathway is important for the control of pro-and anti-inflammatory genes.We studied the effects of dexamethasone on production and secreti… Show more

“…We measured total ex vivo IL-1Ra and IL-1β production following four hours of whole blood incubation with LPS, which aimed to mimic the in vivo conditions of a bacterially-induced inflammatory immune response while minimizing participant risk. Consistent with previous reports among pregnant and nonpregnant samples, IL-1Ra and IL-1β production covaried (Heng et al, 2014; Langereis et al, 2011). However, inhibition of IL-1β by IL-1Ra during the inflammatory immune response appeared to be compromised among women with GG genotype, which is important considering that greater IL-1β production went on to predict earlier birth.…”

“…Although IL-1␤ binds to interleukin receptor 1 to induce proinflammatory signaling in the cell, IL-1RA competes with IL-1␤, acting as an anti-inflammatory effector that counter-regulates the pro-inflammatory cascade. The ratio of IL-1␤ to IL-1RA determines whether the final signal becomes pro-or anti-inflammatory (38). In activated NHDF, most of the upregulated IL-1␤ was found retained inside the cells and, interestingly, IL-1RA was up-regulated only in the cytoplasm but not secreted (Fig.…”

“…[6][7][8] For example, steroids are known to suppress interleukin-1beta (IL-1B) expression in various cell types. [9][10][11] Since there is a significant body of literature that clearly indicates that cytokine and growth factor networks are critical to controlling inflammation and wound healing, it is likely that cytokine networks play a significant role in controlling inflammation and wound healing that impact sensor function in vivo.…”
