Description

BACKGROUND The IL-1 family of cytokines is produced by activated monocytes/macrophages during the acute phase of inflammatory response. The IL-1 cytokines are also produced by a variety of other cells including neutrophiles,  keratinocytes, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, adrenal cortical and medullary cells.1 The cytokine IL-1 and IL-1 have a 25% homology in amino acids. The biological action of IL-1 cytokines is the results of their binding to the IL-1 receptor type I (Rt1). A  second IL-1 receptor (Rt2)  does not produce any biological effect  and most probably represents a “decoy receptor”.  A third member of IL-1 family of cytokines  is  IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1 Ra), which exhibits same binding affinity to both types of IL-1 receptors,  but  without inducing a biological response,  thus antagonizing the effects of IL-1.2 Interestingly, the action of IL-1 Ra is not restricted to the counterregulation of inflammatory processes. IL-1 Ra has been shown to be upregulated in the serum of obese subjects.3
