Therapeutic strategies to reduce IL-1 activity in treating local and systemic inflammation
Abstract
All biological agents currently used for reducing TNFalpha activity in disease are neutralization strategies; however, there are several strategies for reducing interleukin (IL)-1 activities: the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), anti-IL-1beta monoclonal antibodies, the IL-1 Trap, IL-1 receptor type I antibodies, antibodies to the IL-1 receptor accessory chain and inhibitors of IL-1beta-converting enzyme, now termed caspase-1. In fact, caspase-1 inhibitors are the first orally active agents that target cytokines, as these inhibitors prevent the processing and release of active forms for IL-1beta and IL-18, which is a member of the IL-1 family. The IL-1 Trap is a new concept in using soluble forms of cytokine receptors to bind and neutralize a specific cytokine. The Trap takes advantage of the high affinity of the two signaling chains of the cell surface IL-1 receptor linked by the Fc portion of IgG1. The IL-1Ra is currently approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis; in over 75 000 patients, the IL-1Ra has provided insights into the role of IL-1 in local and systemic inflammation, as well as the safety of long-term reduction of IL-1 activity.

Clinical successes using drugs that specifically inhibit TNF in inflammatory bowel disease or rheumatoid arthritis directly implicate a pathogenic role of TNF in other diseases and validate the cytokine theory of disease in humans.
“Clinical successes in the 1990s using drugs that specifically inhibit TNF for patients with inflammatory bowel disease or rheumatoid arthritis directly implicated a pathogenic role of this cytokine in other diseases (7-9) and validated in humans the fundamental premise of the cytokine theory of disease.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
