Abstract

Interleukin-1β (IL-1β ) is known to have a number of effects on the different cell types present within coronary arteries. In this study we identified the location and phenotype of cells containing IL-1β in human coronary artery specimens from patients suffering from either coronary atherosclerosis or cardiomyopathy and correlated the presence of IL-1β with disease severity. Luminal endothelial cells, adventitial vessel wall cells, and macrophages were double labeled immunohistochemically for IL-1β protein and a cell type–specific monoclonal antibody for either endothelial cells or macrophages. In situ hybridization was performed to locate the presence of IL-1β mRNA within the coronary artery wall. In this study IL-1β protein was found to be increased in the adventitial vessel walls of atherosclerotic coronary arteries compared with coronary arteries from nonischemic cardiomyopathic hearts. This increase was directly proportional to the severity of coronary atherosclerosis. IL-1β protein was also detected in luminal endothelium and macrophages of atherosclerotic coronary arteries and coronary arteries from nonischemic cardiomyopathic hearts. IL-1β mRNA was found in luminal endothelial cells, adventitial vessel endothelial cells, and macrophages. We conclude that IL-1β is produced by endothelial cells and macrophages in coronary arteries from ischemic hearts and to a lesser extent from nonischemic cardiomyopathic hearts.

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.
