Interleukin‐1 in the Brain: Mechanisms of Action in Acute Neurodegeneration

PATEL, H. C., BOUTIN, H., ALLAN, S. M.·2003·Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

Abstract

A bstract: Interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) exerts a number of diverse actions in the brain, and it is currently well accepted that it contributes to experimentally induced neurodegeneration. Much of this is based on studies using the IL‐1 receptor antagonist, which inhibits cell death caused by ischemia, brain injury, or excitotoxins. Our aim is to determine how and where in the brain IL‐1 acts to produce these effects. Most of the neurodegenerative effects of IL‐1 are thought to be through IL‐1β. However, we have data implicating IL‐1α in excitotoxic cell death. Furthermore mice lacking both IL‐1α and IL‐1β show dramatically reduced ischemic cell death, whereas deletion of IL‐1α or IL‐1β alone fails to modify damage. It has also been demonstrated that IL‐1 exacerbates ischemic injury in mice in the absence of the type I IL‐1 receptor, suggesting the existence of novel IL‐1 receptors in the brain. IL‐1 also dramatically exacerbates neuronal loss in response to intrastriatal administration of the excitotoxin AMPA in the rat brain, an effect accompanied by marked increases in cytokine expression in the frontoparietal cortex, which precedes subsequent cell death in this region. Intrastriatal AMPA also results in limbic seizures that are exacerbated by IL‐1, and we hypothesize, therefore, that IL‐1 exacerbates cell death through increased seizure activity. Therefore, IL‐1 appears to induce acute neurodegeneration through a number of mechanisms.

  • Inflammatory cytokines influence neuronal development and apoptosis, and both stress and inflammatory cytokine activity may adversely influence neurogenesis and neuroplasticity.

    “Inflammatory cytokines have repeatedly been observed to influence both neuronal development and apoptosis (Chawla-Sarkar et al., 2003, Hayley et al., 2005) (Mehler and Kessler, 1997, Zhao and Schwartz, 1998), (Peng et al., 2008, Anisman, 2009, Koo et al., 2010b). In fact, both stress and subsequent inflammatory cytokine activity may adversely influence neurogenesis and neuroplasticity (Patel et al”

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.
