Abstract

Interleukin 1 is a polypeptide cytokine produced by various cell types and has been shown to have a major role in inflammatory and immunological responses. In experimental colitis it proved to be a dominant mediator and a reliable marker of inflammation. The aim of the present study was to determine in vitro the extent of production and release of interleukin 1 from colonic mucosa of patients with active untreated inflammatory bowel disease. Colonic mucosal biopsy specimens were obtained during colonoscopy from 17 patients with ulcerative colitis, eight patients with Crohn's disease of the colon, and 16 normal control subjects. Interleukin 1 content was determined in fresh and 24 hour organ cultured mucosa as well as in cultured medium. Interleukin 1 content and release were significantly higher in the inflamed mucosa compared with that of control subjects. Prednisolone inhibited interleukin 1 release in a dose dependent fashion. We conclude that colonic mucosal interleukin 1 content and production is significantly raised in active inflammatory bowel disease and may have a role in the pathogenesis of the inflammatory response. Pharmacological suppression of tissue interleukin 1 production may have a beneficial therapeutic effect.

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.
