    basic FUNCTION
  • potential initiator and amplificator of the immune and inflammatory response
  • putatively stimulating osteoclastogenesis
  • inducing the association of TRAF6 with IRAK1, involved in the inflammatory response
  • is capable of decreasing insulin-induced glucose transport
  • involved in the negative regulation of cell proliferation
  • IL1B, released from dying cells, promotes the recruitment and retention of macrophages
  • autophagy has a potentially pivotal role to play in the induction and regulation of inflammatory responses by innate immune cells, largely driven by IL1A, IL1B and its consequential effects on IL23A secretion
  • the effects of IL1B and insulin on FOXO1 are additive, albeit independent, with respect to the distribution of FOXO1 between the nucleus and cytosol
  • MYLK is a key regulator involved in endothelial hyperpermeability, and IL1B has been shown to mediate MYLK-dependent barrier dysfunction in epithelia
  • IL1A, IL1B are important participants in the age-related exhaustion of ovarian reserve in mammalian, possibly by enhancing the expression of inflammatory genes and promoting apoptotic pathways
  • IL1A, IL1B are potent regulators of the innate immune system important for host defense but are also associated with injury and disease in the brain
  • IL1A and IL1B are key players in the innate immune system
  • IL1B promotes nuclear DNASE1 translocation in an endonuclease-inactive form
  • matricellular protein RSPO3 is a mediator of endothelial hyperpermeability that can act in synergy with the inflammatory mediator IL1B

    protein
  • upregulating SLAM (signaling lymphocyte activation molecule) on mature dendritic cells
  • upregulating ADAMTS1 in stromal cells
  • IL1A stimulates cardiac myofibroblasts (CMF) to express IL1B, TNF, and IL6 via specific signaling pathways
  • IL1B induced SMAD7 negatively regulates gastrin expression
  • IL1B, IL1A both bind to the same IL1 receptor (IL1R1) and are potent proinflammatory cytokines
  • IL1B directly binds IL1A, thus identifying IL1B as a shuttle for another proinflammatory cytokine
  • a major proinflammatory cytokine, IL1B, can facilitate local progesterone metabolism in a cell type critical for maintaining uterine cervical structure via regulating expression of AKR1C1 and AKR1C2
  • IL1B regulates FOXO1 activity through a novel SMPD3-dependent pathway
  • IL1B counteracts the AKT1-mediated insulin signals by increasing the overall cellular FOXO1 content and augmenting its nuclear localization
  • NLRP3 is a key component of one of several distinct cytoplasmic multiprotein complexes (inflammasomes) that mediate the maturation of the proinflammatory cytokine IL1B by activating CASP1
  • TLR3 stimulation in keratinocytes induces a CASP4 dependent release of pro-IL1B, but further processing to active IL1B is limited
  • secretion of IL1A, IL1B, IL12B, and CCL4 occurs during gelatinase degranulation, a process controlled by STX3
  • NFKB1 may be involved in IL1B-induced activation of ADAMTS9 in human chondrocytes
  • in the presence of CASP1, CASP8 acts as a positive modulator of the NLRP3-dependent CASP1 signaling cascades that drive both IL1B production and pyroptotic death
  • PLIN2 inhibits insulin&
  • 8209;induced glucose uptake by activating NLRP3, CASP1 and IL1B, leading to a decreased IRS1 expression
  • CASP4 and caspase-5 mediate IL1A and IL1B release from human monocytes after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation
  • IL36G expression was induced by the combination of IL1B and TNF via activation of MAPKs and transcription factors, NFKB1 and JUN in colonic myofibroblasts
  • PGAM5 is a mitochondrial phosphatase that has been reported to function downstream of RIPK3 to promote necroptosis and IL1B secretion
  • IL1B regulates NOTCH1 and NOTCH4 activity in opposite directions, consistent with a selective targeting of NOTCH1 in inflamed endothelium
  • NLRC4-driven IL1B production is critical for the progression of Diabetic Nephropathy
  • new roles for CD14 and IL1B linking inflammatory dendritic cells to IL17A production in memory CD4+ T cells
  • CASP4 physically interacts with CASP1 and is believed to be a proinflammatory caspase that can induce the inflammatory form of programmed cell death (pyroptosis) and the release of mature interleukin IL1B
  • IL1B increases AMTN gene transcription in gingival epithelial cells mediated through CEBP1, CEBP2, and YY1 elements in the human AMTN gene promoter

    REGULATION
    activated by after cleavage by caspase 1
    repressed by heat shock factor 1 through physical interaction with CEBPB
    Other IL1A and IL1B polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation are central mechanisms in the regulation of intracellular IL1 levels in dendritic cells
