Abstract
Prolonged inflammation leads to the genesis of various inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's, etc. The uncontrolled inflammatory response is characterized by the excessive release of pro-inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1alpha (IL-1α), and inflammatory enzymes such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Hence, the downregulation of these inflammatory mediators is an active therapy to control aberrant inflammation and tissue damage. To address this, herein, we present the rational design and synthesis of novel phytochemical entities (NPCEs) through strategic linker-based molecular hybridization of aromatic/heteroaromatic fragments with the labdane dialdehyde, isolated from the medicinally and nutritionally significant rhizomes of the plant Curcuma amada. To validate the anti-inflammatory potential, we employed a comprehensive in vitro study assessing its inhibitory effect on the COX-2 enzyme and other inflammatory mediators, viz., NO, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1α, in bacterial lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages, as well as in-silico molecular modeling studies targeting the inflammation regulator COX-2 enzyme. Among the synthesized novel compounds, 5f exhibited the highest anti-inflammatory potential by inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme (IC50 = 17.67 ± 0.89 μM), with a 4-fold increased activity relative to the standard drug indomethacin (IC50 = 67.16 ± 0.17 μM). 5f also significantly reduced the levels of LPS-induced NO, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1α, much better than the positive control. Molecular mechanistic studies revealed that 5f suppressed the expression of COX-2 and pro-inflammatory cytokine release dose-dependently, which was associated with the inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway. This infers that the labdane derivative 5f is a promising lead candidate as an anti-inflammatory agent to further explore its therapeutic landscape.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human β-defensin 1 (hBD-1) is a antimicrobial peptide that is constantly secreted by oral tissues. Hangeshashinto (HST), a traditional Japanese medicine, has been reported to be effective against stomatitis. This study aimed to clarify the profile of HST by comparing the system of production of interleukin-1α (IL-1α) and hBD-1 in human oral mucosal epithelial cells with dexamethasone (DEX), a steroid used for the treatment of stomatitis. METHODS Human oral keratinocytes (HOK) were treated with HST, DEX, or HST components (baicalein, baicalin, berberine, and glycyrrhizin) for 24 h, and subsequently cultured for 24 h with or without Pam3CSK4 or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The cell supernatants, total RNA, and intracellular proteins were collected, and changes in IL-1α and hBD-1 protein production and gene expression were evaluated using ELISA and RT-PCR. The phosphorylation of NF-kB and the cell proliferative ability of HOK were evaluated by western blotting and XTT assay, respectively. RESULTS DEX (0.01-10 μM) significantly suppressed IL-1α and hBD-1 production induced by either Pam3CSK4 or LPS, and also decreased cell growth. In contrast, HST inhibited Pam3CSK4- and LPS-induced IL-1α production at a concentration range of 12.5-100 μg/mL without affecting the cell proliferative capacity and hBD-1 production of HOK. Baicalein and baicalin, which are flavonoid ingredients of HST, showed anti-IL-1α production. CONCLUSION HST may be useful as a therapeutic agent for stomatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Rickettsia spp. are intracellular bacterial parasites of a wide range of arthropod and vertebrate hosts. Some rickettsiae are responsible for several severe human diseases globally. One interesting feature of these pathogens is their ability to exploit host cytosolic defense responses to their benefits. However, the precise mechanism by which pathogenic Rickettsia spp. elude host defense responses remains unclear. Here, we observed that pathogenic Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia rickettsii (Sheila Smith [SS]), but not non-pathogenic Rickettsia montanensis, become ubiquitinated and induce autophagy upon entry into macrophages. Moreover, unlike R. montanensis, R. typhi and R. rickettsii (SS) colocalized with LC3B but not with Lamp2 upon host cell entry. Finally, we observed that both R. typhi and R. rickettsii (SS), but not R. montanensis, reduce pro-inflammatory interleukin-1 (IL-1) responses, likely via an autophagy-mediated mechanism. In summary, we identified a previously unappreciated pathway by which both pathogenic R. typhi and R. rickettsii (SS) become ubiquitinated, induce autophagy, avoid autolysosomal destruction, and reduce microbicidal IL-1 cytokine responses to establish an intracytosolic niche in macrophages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preterm birth preceded by spontaneous preterm labour often occurs in the clinical setting of sterile intra-amniotic inflammation (SIAI), a condition that currently lacks treatment. METHODS Proteomic and scRNA-seq human data were analysed to evaluate the role of IL-6 and IL-1α in SIAI. A C57BL/6 murine model of SIAI-induced preterm birth was developed by the ultrasound-guided intra-amniotic injection of IL-1α. The blockade of IL-6R by using an aIL-6R was tested as prenatal treatment for preterm birth and adverse neonatal outcomes. QUEST-MRI evaluated brain oxidative stress in utero. Targeted transcriptomic profiling assessed maternal, foetal, and neonatal inflammation. Neonatal biometrics and neurodevelopment were tested. The neonatal gut immune-microbiome was evaluated using metagenomic sequencing and immunophenotyping. FINDINGS IL-6 plays a critical role in the human intra-amniotic inflammatory response, which is associated with elevated concentrations of the alarmin IL-1α. Intra-amniotic injection of IL-1α resembles SIAI, inducing preterm birth (7% vs. 50%, p = 0.03, Fisher's exact test) and neonatal mortality (18% vs. 56%, p = 0.02, Mann-Whitney U-test). QUEST-MRI revealed no foetal brain oxidative stress upon in utero IL-1α exposure (p > 0.05, mixed linear model). Prenatal treatment with aIL-6R abrogated IL-1α-induced preterm birth (50% vs. 7%, p = 0.03, Fisher's exact test) by dampening inflammatory processes associated with the common pathway of labour. Importantly, aIL-6R reduces neonatal mortality (56% vs. 22%, p = 0.03, Mann-Whitney U-test) by crossing from the mother to the amniotic cavity, dampening foetal organ inflammation and improving growth. Beneficial effects of prenatal IL-6R blockade carried over to neonatal life, improving survival, growth, neurodevelopment, and gut immune homeostasis. INTERPRETATION IL-6R blockade can serve as a strategy to treat SIAI, preventing preterm birth and adverse neonatal outcomes. FUNDING NICHD/NIH/DHHS, Contract HHSN275201300006C.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the bacterial and inflammatory variations in oral cancer patients with and without jawbone invasion. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 specimens of fresh tumor tissue, including 10 from the tumor-invaded jawbone (JIOC group) and 10 without jawbone invasion (NJIOC group), were collected from oral cancer patients. Meanwhile, 10 specimens from normal oral mucosa were collected from healthy patients (control group). The microbiomic content of each sample was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, while the expression of inflammatory cytokines was assessed using protein microarray analysis. RESULTS There was a significant difference in β diversity between JIOC and NJIOC groups (P < 0.05), but no difference between NJIOC and control groups. The average relative abundance of Fusobacteria and Spirochaetes was higher, while Firmicutes was lower in the JIOC group than in the NJIOC group (all P < 0.05). The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-4, and IL-8 was upregulated in the JIOC group compared with the NJIOC group, while MCP-1 was decreased (all P < 0.05). Slackia spp. and Howardella spp. were positively correlated with IL-4; Odoribacter spp. and Acidaminococcaceae spp. were negatively correlated with IL-4, and Clostridium XIVa spp. was negatively correlated with IL-1α and IL-1β. CONCLUSION Bacterial and inflammatory differences were observed in oral cancer patients with and without jawbone invasion, where the relative abundance of the differential bacteria was associated with the expression of the inflammatory cytokines. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study investigated the changes in the flora during jawbone invasion in oral cancer and its effect on inflammatory factors, elucidating the possible mechanisms of jawbone invasion caused by oral cancer, which may lead to new ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of jawbone invasion in oral cancer.

Abstract
Bile acids are amphipathic molecules that are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver and facilitate intestinal absorption of lipids and nutrients. They are released into the small intestine upon ingestion of a meal where intestinal bacteria can modify primary into secondary bile acids. Bile acids are cytotoxic at high concentrations and have been associated with inflammatory diseases such as liver inflammation and Barrett's Oesophagus. Although bile acids induce pro-inflammatory signalling, their role in inducing innate immune cytokines and inflammation has not been fully explored to date. Here we demonstrate that the bile acids, deoxycholic acid (DCA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) induce IL-1α and IL-1β secretion in vitro in primed bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs). The secretion of IL-1β was found not to require expression of NLRP3, ASC or caspase-1 activity; we can't rule out all inflammasomes. Furthermore, DCA and CDCA were shown to induce the recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes to the site of injection an intraperitoneal model of inflammation. This study further underlines a mechanistic role for bile acids in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases through stimulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and recruitment of innate immune cells.

Abstract
Hyperinflammation is the hallmark of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), the most common cancer in AIDS patients caused by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection. However, the role and mechanism of induction of inflammation in KS remain unclear. In a screening for inhibitors of KSHV-induced oncogenesis, over half of the identified candidates were anti-inflammatory agents including dexamethasone functions by activating glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling. Here, we examined the mechanism mediating KSHV-induced inflammation. We found that numerous inflammatory pathways were activated in KSHV-transformed cells. Particularly, interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) from the IL-1 family were the most induced and suppressed cytokines, respectively. We found that KSHV miRNAs mediated IL-1α induction while both miRNAs and vFLIP mediated IL-1Ra suppression. Furthermore, GR signaling was inhibited in KSHV-transformed cells, which was mediated by vFLIP and vCyclin. Dexamethasone treatment activated GR signaling, and inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation in soft agar of KSHV-transformed cells but had a minimal effect on matched primary cells. Consequently, dexamethasone suppressed the initiation and growth of KSHV-induced tumors in mice. Mechanistically, dexamethasone suppressed IL-1α but induced IL-1Ra expression. Treatment with recombinant IL-1α protein rescued the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone while overexpression of IL-1Ra caused a weak growth inhibition of KSHV-transformed cells. Furthermore, dexamethasone induced IκBα expression resulting in inhibition of NF-κB pathway and IL-1α expression. These results reveal an important role of IL-1 pathway in KSHV-induced inflammation and oncogenesis, which can be inhibited by dexamethasone-activated GR signaling, and identify IL-1-mediated inflammation as a potential therapeutic target for KSHV-induced malignancies.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), one of the major components of the tumor microenvironment, contribute to the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We previously established a direct co-culture system of human ESCC cells and macrophages and reported the promotion of malignant phenotypes, such as survival, growth, and migration, in ESCC cells. These findings suggested that direct interactions between cancer cells and macrophages contribute to the malignancy of ESCC, but its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we compared the expression levels of the interferon-induced genes between mono- and co-cultured ESCC cells using a cDNA microarray and found that interferon-inducible protein 16 (IFI16) was most significantly upregulated in co-cultured ESCC cells. IFI16 knockdown suppressed malignant phenotypes and also decreased the secretion of interleukin-1α (IL-1α) from ESCC cells. Additionally, recombinant IL-1α enhanced malignant phenotypes of ESCC cells through the Erk and NF-κB signaling. Immunohistochemistry revealed that high IFI16 expression in human ESCC tissues tended to be associated with disease-free survival and was significantly associated with tumor depth, lymph node metastasis, and macrophage infiltration. The results of this study reveal that IFI16 is involved in ESCC progression via IL-1α and imply the potential of IFI16 as a novel prognostic factor for ESCC.

Abstract
Wound healing in DFU (diabetic foot ulcer) has prolonged inflammation phase and defective granulation tissue formation. LL-37 has antimicrobial property, induces angiogenesis, and keratinocyte migration and proliferation. This study analyzes the efficacy of LL-37 cream in enhancing wound healing rate and decreasing the levels of IL-1α, TNF-α, and the number of aerobic bacteria colonization in DFU with mild infection. This study was conducted from January 2020 to June 2021 in Jakarta. Subjects were instructed to apply either LL-37 cream or placebo cream twice a week for 4 weeks. Wounds were measured on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 and processed with ImageJ. The levels of LL-37, IL-1α, and TNF-α from wound fluid were measured using ELISA. The number of aerobic bacteria colonization was counted from the isolate grown in culture. The levels of LL-37 in DFU at baseline were equally low in both groups which were 1.07 (0.37-4.96) ng/mg protein in the LL-37 group and 1.11 (0.24-2.09) ng/mg protein in the placebo group. The increase in granulation index was consistently greater in the LL-37 group on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 (p = 0.031, 0.009, 0.006, and 0.037, respectively). The levels of IL-1α and TNF-α increased in both groups on days 14 and 21 (p > 0.05). The decrease in the number of aerobic bacteria colonization was greater in the LL-37 group on days 7, 14 and 21, but greater in the placebo group on day 28 (p > 0.05). In conclusion, LL-37 cream enhanced the healing rate of DFU with mild infection, but did not decrease the levels of IL-1α and TNF-α and the number of aerobic bacteria colonization. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT04098562.

Abstract
While exposure to long amphibolic asbestos fibers (L > 10 µm) results in the development of severe diseases including inflammation, fibrosis, and mesothelioma, the pathogenic activity associated with short fibers (L < 5 µm) is less clear. By exposing murine macrophages to short (SFA) or long (LFA) fibers of amosite asbestos different in size and surface chemistry, we observed that SFA internalization resulted in pyroptotic-related immunogenic cell death (ICD) characterized by the release of the pro-inflammatory damage signal (DAMP) IL-1α after inflammasome activation and gasdermin D (GSDMD)-pore formation. In contrast, macrophage responses to non-internalizable LFA were associated with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) release, caspase-3 and -7 activation, and apoptosis. SFA effects exclusively resulted from Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) recognized for its ability to sense particles, while the response to LFA was elicited by a multifactorial ignition system involving the macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (SR-A6 or MARCO), reactive oxygen species (ROS) cascade, and TLR4. Our findings indicate that asbestos fiber size and surface features play major roles in modulating ICD and inflammatory pathways. They also suggest that SFA are biologically reactive in vitro and, therefore, their inflammatory and toxic effects in vivo should not be underestimated.

Abstract
In Alzheimer's disease (AD), reactive astrocytes produce extracellular vesicles (EVs) that affect mitochondria in neurons. Here, we show that Aβ-induced generation of the sphingolipid ceramide by acid sphingomyelinase (A-SMase) triggered proinflammatory cytokine (C1q, TNF-α, IL-1α) release by microglia, which induced the reactive astrocytes phenotype and secretion of EVs enriched with ceramide. These EVs impeded the capacity of neurons to respond to energy demand. Inhibition of A-SMase with Arc39 and Imipramine reduced the secretion of cytokines from microglia, prompting us to test the effect of Imipramine on EV secretion and AD pathology in the 5xFAD mouse model. Brain derived-EVs from 5xFAD mice treated with Imipramine contained reduced levels of the astrocytic marker GFAP, ceramide, and Aβ and did not impair mitochondrial respiration when compared to EVs derived from untreated 5xFAD brain. Consistently, Imipramine-treated 5xFAD mice showed reduced AD pathology. Our study identifies A-SMase inhibitors as potential AD therapy by preventing cyotokine-elicited secretion of mitotoxic EVs from astrocytes.

Abstract
Background Patients with food allergy often suffer from atopic dermatitis, in which Staphylococcus aureus colonization is frequently observed. Staphylococcus aureus δ-toxin activates mast cells and promotes T helper 2 type skin inflammation in the tape-stripped murine skin. However, the physiological effects of δ-toxin present on the steady-state skin remain unknown. We aimed to investigate whether δ-toxin present on the steady-state skin impacts the development of food allergy. Material and methods The non-tape-stripped skins of wild-type, KitW-sh/W-sh, or ST2-deficient mice were treated with ovalbumin (OVA) with or without δ-toxin before intragastric administration of OVA. The frequency of diarrhea, numbers of jejunum or skin mast cells, and serum levels of OVA-specific IgE were measured. Conventional dendritic cell 2 (cDC2) in skin and lymph nodes (LN) were analyzed. The cytokine levels in the skin tissues or culture supernatants of δ-toxin-stimulated murine keratinocytes were measured. Anti-IL-1α antibody-pretreated mice were analyzed. Results Stimulation with δ-toxin induced the release of IL-1α, but not IL-33, in murine keratinocytes. Epicutaneous treatment with OVA and δ-toxin induced the local production of IL-1α. This treatment induced the translocation of OVA-loaded cDC2 from skin to draining LN and OVA-specific IgE production, independently of mast cells and ST2. This resulted in OVA-administered food allergic responses. In these models, pretreatment with anti-IL-1α antibody inhibited the cDC2 activation and OVA-specific IgE production, thereby dampening food allergic responses. Conclusion Even without tape stripping, δ-toxin present on skin enhances epicutaneous sensitization to food allergen in an IL-1α-dependent manner, thereby promoting the development of food allergy.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are increased under hyperglycemia in vivo and are associated with the onset of diabetes. According to previous studies, AGEs exacerbate inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanism by which AGEs aggravate osteoblast inflammation remains unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of AGEs on the production of inflammatory mediators in MC3T3-E1 cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Co-stimulation with AGEs and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was found to increase the mRNA and protein levels of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), interleukin-1α (IL-1α), S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9), and the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) compared to no stimulation (untreated control) or individual stimulation with LPS or AGEs. In contrast, the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, U73122, inhibited these stimulatory effects. Co-stimulation with AGEs and LPS also increased the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) compared to no stimulation (untreated control) or individual stimulation with LPS or AGE. However, this increase was inhibited by U73122. Co-stimulation with AGEs and LPS-induced phosphorylated phospholipase Cγ1 (p-PLCγ1) and phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) expression compared to no stimulation or individual stimulation with LPS or AGEs. U73122 inhibited the effects induced by co-stimulation. siPLCγ1 did not increase the expression of p-JNK and the translocation of NF-κB. Overall, co-stimulation with AGEs and LPS may promote inflammation mediators in MC3T3-E1 cells by activating the nuclear translocation of NF-κB via PLCγ1-JNK activation.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis initiation and progression involves many inflammatory cytokines, one of them is interleukin (IL)-1α that has been shown to be secreted by activated macrophages. We have previously shown that IL-1α from bone marrow-derived cells is critical for early atherosclerosis development in mice. It is known that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in macrophages is involved in progression to more advanced atherosclerosis, but it is still unknown whether this effect is mediated through cytokine activation or secretion. We previously demonstrated that IL-1α is required in ER stress-induced activation of inflammatory cytokines in hepatocytes and in the associated induction of steatohepatitis. In the current study, we aimed to examine the potential role of IL-1α in ER stress-induced activation of macrophages, which is relevant to progression of atherosclerosis. First, we demonstrated that IL-1α is required for atherosclerosis development and progression in the apoE knockout (KO) mouse model of atherosclerosis. Next, we showed that ER stress in mouse macrophages results in the protein production and secretion of IL-1α in a dose-dependent manner, and that IL-1α is required in ER stress-induced production of the C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), a critical step in ER stress-mediated apoptosis. We further demonstrated that IL-1α-dependent CHOP production in macrophages is specifically mediated through the PERK-ATF4 signaling pathway. Altogether, these findings highlight IL-1α as a potential target for prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
IL-1α is an intracellular danger signal (DAMP) released by macrophages contributing to the development of silica-induced lung inflammation. The exact molecular mechanism orchestrating IL-1α extracellular release from particle-exposed macrophages is still unclear. To delineate this process, murine J774 and bone-marrow derived macrophages were exposed to increasing concentrations (1-40 cm2/ml) of a set of amorphous and crystalline silica particles with different surface chemical features. In particular, these characteristics include the content of nearly free silanols (NFS), a silanol population responsible for silica cytotoxicity recently identified. We first observed de novo stocks of IL-1α in macrophages after silica internalization regardless of particle physico-chemical characteristics and cell stress. IL-1α intracellular production and accumulation were observed by exposing macrophages to biologically-inert or cytotoxic crystalline and amorphous silicas. In contrast, only NFS-rich reactive silica particles triggered IL-1α release into the extracellular milieu from necrotic macrophages. We demonstrate that IL-1α is actively secreted through the formation of gasdermin D (GSDMD) pores in the plasma membrane and not passively released after macrophage plasma membrane lysis. Our findings indicate that the GSDMD pore-dependent secretion of IL-1α stock from macrophages solely depends on cytotoxicity induced by NFS-rich silica. This new regulated process represents a key first event in the mechanism of silica toxicity, suitable to refine the existing adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for predicting the inflammatory activity of silicas.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation plays an important role in epileptogenesis, however, most studies are performed using pharmacological models of epilepsy, while there are only few data available for non-invasive, including genetic, models. The levels of a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines were examined in the Krushinsky-Molodkina (KM) rat strain with high audiogenic epilepsy (AE) proneness (intense tonic seizure fit in response to loud sound) and in the control strain "0" (not predisposed to AE) using multiplex immunofluorescence magnetic assay (MILLIPLEX map Kit). Cytokine levels were determined in the dorsal striatum tissue and in the brain stem. Background levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the dorsal striatum of the KM rats were significantly lower than in the rats "0" (by 32.31, 27.84, and 38.87%, respectively, p < 0.05, 0.05, and 0.01), whereas no inter-strain differences in the levels of these metabolites were detected in the brain stem in the "background" state. Four hours after sound exposure, the TNF-α level in the dorsal striatum of the KM rats was significantly lower (by 38.34%, p < 0.01) than in the "0" rats. In the KM rats, the dorsal striatal levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly higher after the sound exposure and subsequent seizure fit, compared to the background (35.29 and 50.21% increase, p < 0.05, 0.01, respectively). In the background state the IL-2 level in the KM rats was not detected, whereas after audiogenic seizures its level was 14.01 pg/ml (significant difference, p < 0.01). In the KM rats the brain stem levels of IL-1β and TNF-α after audiogenic seizures were significantly lower than in the background (13.23 and 23.44% decrease, respectively, p < 0.05). In the rats of the "0" strain, the levels of cytokines in the dorsal striatum after the action of sound (which did not induce AE seizures) were not different from those of the background, while in the brain stem of the "0" strain the levels of IL-1β were lower than in the background (40.28%, p < 0.01). Thus, the differences between the background levels of cytokines and those after the action of sound were different in the rats with different proneness to AE. These data suggest involvement of the analyzed cytokines in pathophysiology of the seizure state, namely in AE seizures.

Abstract
IL-1α and IL-1β are both involved in several aspects of tumor biology, including tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, and not least in resistance to various therapies. IL-1α can function as an alarmin to signal cellular stress, and acts to induce downstream events, including production of IL-1β, to amplify the signal. Both IL-1α and IL-1β act through the same receptor complex, IL-1R1-IL1RAP, to mediate signal transduction. IL1RAP is expressed on tumor cells and in the tumor microenvironment by for example CAF, macrophages and endothelial cells. The anti-IL1RAP antibody nadunolimab (CAN04) inhibits both IL-1α and IL-1β signaling and induces ADCC of IL1RAP-expressing tumor cells. As both IL-1α and IL-1β mediate chemoresistance, the aim of this study was to explore the potential synergy between nadunolimab and chemotherapy. This was performed using the NSCLC PDX model LU2503 and the syngeneic MC38 model, in addition to in vitro cell line experiments. We show that chemotherapy induces expression and release of IL-1α from tumor cells and production of IL-1β-converting enzyme, ICE, in the tumor stroma. IL-1α is also demonstrated to act on stromal cells to further induce the secretion of IL-1β, an effect disrupted by nadunolimab. Nadunolimab, and its surrogate antibody, synergize with platinum-based as well as non-platinum-based chemotherapy to induce potent anti-tumor effects, while blockade of only IL-1β signaling by anti-IL-1β antibody does not achieve this effect. In conclusion, blockade of IL1RAP with nadunolimab reduces IL-1-induced chemoresistance of tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a form of chronic inflammatory bowel disease of nonspecific origin. This study used an RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) approach to evaluate the transcriptomic landscape of a well-stratified treatment-naïve pediatric UC patient population by comparing them with healthy control children. The data were analyzed to evaluate the mechanisms driving UC-related intestinal inflammation and fibrosis. METHODS Intestinal mucosal samples from five pediatric UC patients and five healthy controls were analyzed by RNA-Seq, and results were verified by qPCR. A CRISPR/Cas9 approach was used to knock out the expression of HLA-DRB5, and molecular biology techniques were used for additional mechanistic studies. RESULTS In these analyses, 2290 genes were found to be differentially expressed between the UC and control samples, of which 1258 and 1032 were upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Gene Ontology analysis showed that these genes were enriched in extracellular matrix (ECM)-related processes and that 7 of 8 differentially expressed genes of interest (PIK3CD, IL1β, IL1α, TIMP1, MMP1, MMP12, COL6A3, and HLADRB5) were upregulated and involved in ECM-receptor interaction and inflammatory bowel disease-related pathways. Increased HLA-DRB5 expression driven by intestinal bacteria was found to promote IL-1α secretion, leading to intestinal inflammation and fibrosis, suggesting a possible target for the treatment of UC. CONCLUSION These data suggest that intestinal inflammation is present in pediatric UC patients for extended periods before the onset of symptoms, and intestinal fibrosis begins even during the early stages of UC. Intestinal bacteria were also found to trigger intestinal inflammation and fibrosis, with HLA-DRB5 playing a central role in this process.

Abstract
The hydrophilic compound 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is a major component of dental bonding materials, and it enhances the binding of resin-composites to biomolecules. However, HEMA is a well-known contact sensitizer. We reported previously that intradermal injection of HEMA induces the production of IL-1 locally in the skin. Keratinocytes are the first barrier against chemical insults and constitutively express IL-1α. In this study, we analyzed whether HEMA induces the production of inflammatory cytokines from murine keratinocyte cell line Pam212 cells. We demonstrated that HEMA induced the release of 17-kDa mature IL-1α and caused cytotoxicity. The activity of calpain, an IL-1α processing enzyme, was significantly higher in HEMA-treated cells. The thiol-containing antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) inhibited HEMA-induced IL-1α release but not cytotoxicity. NAC inhibited intracellular calpain activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by HEMA. NAC post-treatment also inhibited IL-1α release and intracellular ROS production induced by HEMA. Furthermore, HEMA-induced in vivo inflammation also inhibited by NAC. NAC inhibited polymerization of HEMA through adduct formation via sulfide bonds between the thiol group of NAC and the reactive double bond of HEMA. HEMA-induced IL-1α release and cytotoxicity were also inhibited if HEMA and NAC were pre-incubated before adding to the cells. These results suggested that NAC inhibited IL-1α release through decreases in intracellular ROS and the adduct formation with HEMA. We concluded that HEMA induces IL-1α release from skin keratinocytes, and NAC may be a promising candidate as a therapeutic agent against inflammation induced by HEMA.

Abstract
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) remain a clinically devastating disease with no effective medical treatment therapy. AAAs are characterized by immune cell infiltration, smooth muscle cell apoptosis, and extracellular matrix degradation. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has been shown to play role in AAA associated inflammation through immune cell recruitment and activation, endothelial dysfunction, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and regulation of transcription factors of additional inflammatory mediators. In this review, we will discuss the principles of IL-1 signaling, its role in AAA specific inflammation, and regulators of IL-1 signaling. Additionally, we will discuss the influence of genetic and pharmacological inhibitors of IL-1 on experimental AAAs. Evidence suggests that IL-1 may prove to be a potential therapeutic target in the management of AAA disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine whether and how interleukin (IL)-1α is involved in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). METHODS Nasal polyp (NP) and control tissues were collected from CRSwNP patients and control subjects. The expression of IL-1α and other proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-8 and IL-13, etc.), as well as neutrophil and eosinophil accumulation, were examined in sinonasal tissues using immunohistochemical (IHC), immunofluorescent (IF) staining, qPCR, and Luminex, respectively. Moreover, the regulation of IL-1α expression and its effects on other proinflammatory cytokines were evaluated in cultured nasal epithelial cells (NECs). RESULTS The mRNA and protein levels of IL-1α were significantly higher in NP tissues compared to that in control tissues. IL-1α in polyp tissues was mainly located in epithelial cells and neutrophils. Polyps IL-1α level was significantly associated with IL-8, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-13 production, as well as tissue neutrophil infiltration. Moreover, poly (I:C), lipopolysaccharides, Flagellin, R848 and cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) significantly increased the expression of IL-1α in cultured NECs in vitro, and recombinant IL-1α significantly promoted production of IL-8 and CXCL1 in cultured NECs. CONCLUSIONS These findings provided the evidence that IL-1α were significantly increased in NP tissues, which may contribute to tissue neutrophilia in CRSwNP patients in China.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To explore the function of interleukin 1α (IL-1α) in bladder cancer (BCa). MATERIAL AND METHODS Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to test the protein expression of IL-1α in BCa tissues. The relationship between IL-1α and clinical characteristics was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier curve method. The gene and protein expression was tested by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-q-PCR) and western blot, respectively. Colony formation and MTT assays were used to detect the potential of proliferation in vitro, and scratch and transwell chamber assays were used to detect the potential of invasion in vitro. Markers of proliferation such as Ki-67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and markers of invasion such as MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by western blot. Xenograft study was used for the in vivo experiment. RESULTS We found that IL-1α was highly expressed in BCa patients while highly expressed IL-1α was significantly related to short overall survival and progression-free survival in BCa as well. Moreover, knockdown of IL-1α might inhibit the ability of cancer cells to proliferate and invade or migrate both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that IL-1α might be a therapy target for BCa malignant progression.

Abstract
Interleukin 1α (IL-1α) and IL-1β are the founding members of the IL-1 cytokine family, and these innate immune inflammatory mediators are critically important in health and disease. Early studies on these molecules suggested that their expression was interdependent, with an initial genetic model of IL-1α depletion, the IL-1α KO mouse (Il1a-KOline1), showing reduced IL-1β expression. However, studies using this line in models of infection and inflammation resulted in contrasting observations. To overcome the limitations of this genetic model, we have generated and characterized a new line of IL-1α KO mice (Il1a-KOline2) using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. In contrast to cells from Il1a-KOline1, where IL-1β expression was drastically reduced, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from Il1a-KOline2 mice showed normal induction and activation of IL-1β. Additionally, Il1a-KOline2 BMDMs showed normal inflammasome activation and IL-1β expression in response to multiple innate immune triggers, including both pathogen-associated molecular patterns and pathogens. Moreover, using Il1a-KOline2 cells, we confirmed that IL-1α, independent of IL-1β, is critical for the expression of the neutrophil chemoattractant KC/CXCL1. Overall, we report the generation of a new line of IL-1α KO mice and confirm functions for IL-1α independent of IL-1β. Future studies on the unique functions of IL-1α and IL-1β using these mice will be critical to identify new roles for these molecules in health and disease and develop therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
It has been known that senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) triggers senescence of the surrounding normal cells. However, SASP signaling regarding mesenchymal stromal cell aging remains to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the present study aimed to clarify the molecular mechanism of late (passage) MSC-induced paracrine SASP-mediated senescence of early (passage) MSCs during ex vivo expansion. Here, we conducted an extensive characterization of senescence features in bone-marrow (BM)-derived MSCs from healthy human donors. Late MSCs displayed an enlarged senescent-like morphology, induced SASP-related proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1α and IL-8), and reduced clonogenic capacity and osteogenic differentiation when compared to early MSCs. Of note, paracrine effects of SASP-related IL-1α and IL-8 from late MSCs induced cellular senescence of early MSCs via an NF-κB-dependent manner. Moreover, cellular senescence of early MSCs was promoted by the synergistic action of IL-1α and IL-8. However, inhibition of NF-κB by shRNA transfection or using inhibitors in early MSCs blocked early MSCs cellular senescence caused by paracrine SASP of late MSCs. In conclusion, these findings reveal that late MSCs display features of senescence and that, during ex vivo expansion, SASP-related proinflammatory cytokines contribute to activate a cellular senescence program in early MSCs that may ultimately impair their functionality.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) is a cytokine involved in the acute phase immune response and its expression is upregulated in a variety of solid tumors including head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). Tumor expression of IL-1α is associated with increased tumor aggressiveness in HNSCCs, but this has yet to be studied in the context of human papilloma virus (HPV) status. This study is aimed at determining differences in tumor expression and subcellular localization of IL-1α in HPV-positive (HPV+) and HPV-negative (HPV-) HNSCC tumors. Tissue microarrays (TMAs) containing HPV+ (n = 31) and HPV- (n = 47) primary and metastatic HNSCCs were analyzed for IL-1α expression using immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. HPV status was confirmed using p16 IHC staining and RNA in situ hybridization (RNA ISH). Differences in IL-1α protein expression and secretion in HPV+ and HPV- HNSCC cell lines were determined by western blot and ELISA respectively. Associations between tumor IL1A expression and survival outcomes were assessed in HPV+ and HPV- HNSCC patients from publicly available gene expression datasets. Tumor expression of IL-1α was significantly increased in HPV- tumors and cell lines (as detected by IHC and western blot respectively) compared to HPV+ tumors and cell lines. There was no difference in IL-1α release between HPV+ and HPV- cell lines. IL-1α was expressed in both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments, with predominant expression in the nucleus. Gene expression of IL1A was significantly increased in HPV-tumors/cell lines compared to HPV+ tumors/cell lines. Lastly, increased IL1A gene expression was significantly associated with worse survival in HPV- tumors but not in HPV+ tumors. Overall IL-1α expression particularly in the nucleus may possess more prognostic significance in HPV- tumors rather than HPV+ tumors. This work warrants further investigation into the role of intracellular IL-1α ligand expression in HNSCCs and may have important implications in IL-1 pathway blockade as therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) plays an important role in inflammation and hematopoiesis. Many tumors have increased IL-1α expression. However, the immune regulatory role of secreted IL-1α in tumor development and whether it can be targeted for cancer therapy are still unclear. Here, we found that tumoral-secreted IL-1α significantly promoted hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development in vivo. Tumoral-released IL-1α were found to inhibit T and NK cell activation, and the killing capacity of CD8+ T cells. Moreover, MDSCs were dramatically increased by tumoral-released IL-1α in both spleens and tumors. Indeed, higher tumoral IL-1α expression is associated with increased tumoral infiltration of MDSCs in HCC patients. Further studies showed that tumoral-released IL-1α promoted MDSC recruitment to the tumor microenvironment through a CXCR2-dependent mechanism. Depletion of MDSCs could diminish the tumor-promoting effect of tumoral-released IL-1α. On the contrary, systemic administration of recombinant IL-1α protein significantly inhibited tumor development by activating T cells. In fact, IL-1α protein could promote T cell activation and enhance the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells in vitro. Thus, our study demonstrated that tumoral-released IL-1α promoted tumor development through recruiting MDSCs to inhibit T cell activation, while systemic IL-1α directly promoted anti-tumor T cell responses. We further identified calpain 1 as the major intracellular protease mediating tumoral IL-1α secretion. Calpain 1 KO tumors had diminished IL-1α release and reduced tumor development. Thus, our findings provide new insights into the functions of secreted IL-1α in tumor immunity and its implications for immunotherapy.

Abstract
Members of the extended IL-1 cytokine family play key roles as instigators of inflammation in numerous infectious and sterile injury contexts and are highly enriched at barrier surfaces such as the skin, lungs and intestinal mucosa. Because IL-1 family cytokines do not possess conventional ER-golgi trafficking and secretory signals, these cytokines are typically released into the extracellular space due to tissue damage resulting in necrosis, or pathogen detection resulting in pyroptosis. The latter feature, in combination with other factors, suggests that IL-1 family cytokines serve as canonical damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which instigate inflammation in response to tissue damage. However, IL-1 family cytokines also require a proteolytic activation step and diverse intracellular, extracellular and non-self proteases have been identified that are capable of processing and activating members of this family. This suggests that IL-1 family members function as sentinels for aberrant protease activity, which is frequently associated with infection or tissue damage. Here, we overview the diversity of proteases implicated in the activation of IL-1 family cytokines and suggest that this ancient cytokine family may have evolved to complement 'pattern recognition receptors', by serving as 'activity recognition receptors' enabling the detection of aberrant enzyme activity indicative of 'danger'.

Abstract
In addition to hypoxia, inflammation is capable of inducing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Excessive levels of VEGF promote choroidal neovascularization and thereby contribute to the pathogenesis of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections ameliorate pathological vessel neoformation in wet AMD but excessive dampening of VEGF can result in a degeneration of the RPE. In the present study, we induced VEGF production by exposing human ARPE-19 cells to the pro-inflammatory IL-1α and subsequently to hydroquinone, a component of tobacco smoke that is a major environmental risk factor for AMD. Effects were monitored by measuring the levels of VEGF and anti-angiogenic pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. In addition, we measured the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) using the 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (H2DCFDA) probe and studied the effects of two anti-oxidants, ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC) and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), on VEGF production. Cellular and secreted VEGF as well as secreted PEDF levels were reduced at all tested hydroquinone concentrations (10, 50, or 200 µM); these effects were evident prior to any reduction of cell viability evoked by hydroquinone. Cell viability was carefully explored in our previous study and verified by microscoping in the present study. APDC further reduced the VEGF levels, whereas NAC increased them. The 50 μM concentration of hydroquinone increased ROS production in ARPE-19 cells primed with IL-1α. Hydroquinone disturbs the regulatory balance of VEGF and PEDF in inflammatory conditions. These data support the idea that hydroquinone mediates RPE degeneration by reducing VEGF levels and may predispose to dry AMD since VEGF is as well important for retinal integrity.

Abstract
In this study plasma concentrations of IL-1α and IL-8 in 29 female dogs with malignant mammary gland tumours (19 without metastasis and 10 with metastasis) and in 10 healthy control animals were determined. Concentrations of IL-1α and IL-8 were analysed using a specific canine ELISA assay. Mean plasma concentrations of IL-1α and IL-8 were significantly higher (p⟨0.05) in female dogs with both non-metastatic and metastatic malignant tumours compared to the healthy animals. The concentrations of both tested cytokines were significantly increased (p⟨0.05) in the dogs with metastasis. In female dogs with mammary carcinomas, the plasma concentration of IL-1α was significantly higher (p⟨0.05) in the animals with grade 3 tumours compared to the dogs with grade 1 tumours. The concentration of IL-8 was significantly higher (p⟨0.05) in the dogs with grade 3 tumours compared to that found in the animals with grade 1 and grade 2 tumours. A moderate correlation (r=0.433) was found between IL-1α and IL-8 concentrations in the female dogs. These findings suggest that increased malignancy and invasiveness of canine mammary tumours is associated with an increased production of IL-1α and IL-8 in the tumour microenvironment, which, in turn, leads to an increase in their circulating levels. This may indicate that circulating levels of the cytokines investigated could be considered as diagnostic and prognostic markers in canine malignant mammary tumours. However, further studies in this fields are needed.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays a central role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. There are two forms of IL-1 agonists (IL-1α and IL-1β) and one form of IL-1 antagonist (IL-1Ra); they share a similar binding mode to IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) but exhibit opposite biological functions on the receptor. In this study, the intermolecular interactions of IL-1R receptor with IL-1α, IL-1β and IL-1Ra ligands were systematically investigated at structural, energetic and dynamic levels. It was found that the receptor primarily adopts a U-shaped, double-stranded and linear/conformational-hybrid epitope to commonly interact with the three ligands. The epitope covers a common protein segment (residues 107-127), which is fully located within in the C2T2 subsdomain of IL-1R extracellular domain (ECD) and contributes ~40% to the total binding energy of IL-1R/ligand association. The epitope is natively folded into an ordered conformation in IL-1R protein context but would become largely disordered out of the context. Here, we adopted a disulfide bridge to staple U-shaped epitope-derived peptides, which can be effectively constrained into a native-like conformation and thus exhibit an improved affinity to ligands as compared to their unstapled counterpart, with affinity increase by up to ~15-fold. These disulfide bridges were designed to point out of ligand/peptide complex interface and thus would not disrupt the direct complex interaction. Energetic decomposition imparted that the stapling has only a modest influence on the interaction enthalpy and desolvation effect of ligand/peptide binding, but can substantially reduce entropy penalty upon the binding. For a peptide, the stapling-addressed entropic reduction can be roughly regarded as a constant, which only improves peptide affinity to these ligands, but does not change peptide selectivity over different ligands.

Abstract
Background Evidence on the effects of dietary interventions on inflammatory markers in individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is scarce. Our study evaluated the effects of extra-virgin olive oil alone and in combination with a traditional Brazilian diet on inflammatory markers and glycemic profiles in adults with both T2DM and class II/III obesity. Methods Adults aged 18-64 years with T2DM and class II/III obesity were randomized into two intervention groups: 1) extra-virgin olive oil only and 2) extra-virgin olive oil + a traditional Brazilian diet (OliveOil+DietBra). Data on sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, anthropometry, biochemical markers and inflammatory markers were collected. The primary outcomes were glycemic parameters and inflammatory markers. The body mass index (BMI) and weight were the secondary outcomes. Results Forty individuals with T2DM and class II/III obesity were enrolled, and 34 (85%) completed the intervention course. The intake of olive oil was 37.88 ± 12.50 mL/day in the olive oil group and 37.71 ± 12.23 mL/day in the OliveOil+DietBra group, with no significant difference between groups (p = 0.484). Compared to the olive oil only group, the OliveOil+DietBra group had significantly lower levels of fasting insulin (p = 0.047) at the end of the intervention, whereas the other glycemic parameters were not altered. In the OliveOil+DietBra group, serum levels of inflammatory cytokines, IL-1α (p = 0.006) and adiponectin (p = 0.049) were lower and those of TNFα were higher (p = 0.037). There was a significant reduction in BMI and weight compared to the baseline values in the OliveOil+DietBra group (p = 0.015). Conclusions The intervention with OliveOil+DietBra effectively decreased the levels of fasting insulin, IL-1α and adiponectin, suggesting its beneficial role in improving the inflammatory profiles and fasting insulin levels in adults with class II/III obesity and T2DM.

Abstract
The interleukin-1 proteins are a hub of innate inflammatory signaling that activates diverse aspects of adaptive immunity. Until recently, the IL-1α isoform was relatively incompletely understood compared with IL-1β. This review briefly summarizes novel and surprising aspects of IL-1α biology. IL-1α localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, cell membrane or extracellular space in various contexts, with corresponding distinct functions. In particular, we focus on multiple pathways by which IL-1α promotes the senescent cell phenotype, unexpectedly involving signaling molecules including mTOR, GATA4, mitochondrial cardiolipin and caspases-4/5. Finally, I review a novel pathway by which IL-1α promotes antiviral immunity.

Abstract
Smoking, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and vocal fold abuse can promote the development of Reinke’s oedema, leading to vocal fold dysfunction and injury. The aim of the work was to investigate the appearance and distribution of proliferation marker Ki-67 (Ki-67), interleukin 10 (IL-10), interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1α), and protein gene peptide 9.5 (PGP 9.5) in Reinke’s oedema-affected larynx tissue. Methods: A routine histological and immunohistochemical Reinke’s oedema and control group patient analysis was conducted. We used the biotin–streptavidin biochemical method to detect Ki-67, IL-10, IL-1α, and PGP 9.5 The semiquantitative grading method was used to evaluate immunoreactive cells’ appearance and local distribution. A Mann–Whitney U test and Spearman’s rank coefficient were performed. Results: A low positive correlation between IL-1α epithelial and subepithelial immunoreactive cells in the patient group was found. Mann–Whitney U tests revealed significant patient and control group immunoreactive marker differences. All examined markers showed a higher number of immunoreactive structures in the patient group. Conclusions: Intensive proliferation of the surface epithelium was observed in patient tissues. The notable increase in IL-10 positive structures indicates the dominant anti-inflammatory tissue response. An increased number of IL-1α structures in the larynx epithelium and subepithelium in the patient group is linked to inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodelling. The PGP 9.5 expression increase is involved in the morphopathogenesis of Reinke’s oedema.

Abstract
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the aetiological agent of COVID-19 disease, is representing a worldwide threat for the medical community and the society at large so that it is being defined as "the twenty-first-century disease". Often associated with a severe cytokine storm, leading to more severe cases, it is mandatory to block such occurrence early in the disease course, to prevent the patients from having more severe, sometimes fatal, outcomes. In this framework, early detection of "danger signals", possibly represented by alarmins, can represent one of the most promising strategies to effectively tailor the disease and to better understand the underlying mechanisms eventually leading to death or severe consequences. In light of such considerations, the present article aims at evaluating the role of alarmins in patients affected by COVID-19 disease and the relationship of such compounds with the most commonly reported comorbidities. The conducted researches demonstrated yet poor literature on this specific topic, however preliminarily confirming a role for danger signals in the amplification of the inflammatory reaction associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. As such, a number of chronic conditions, including metabolic syndrome, gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, in turn, associated with higher levels of alarmins, both foster the infection and predispose to a worse prognosis. According to these preliminary data, prompt detection of high levels of alarmins in patients with COVID-19 and co-morbidities could suggest an immediate intense anti-inflammatory treatment.Key messageAlarmins have a role in the amplification of the inflammatory reaction associated with SARS-CoV-2 infectiona prompt detection of high levels of alarmins in patients with COVID-19 could suggest an immediate intense anti-inflammatory treatment.

Abstract
Probiotics administration can facilitate the restoration of host gut microbiota/metabolome after antibiotic treatment. Yet, the mechanism behind such beneficial effects remains unclear. This study constructed a rat model of antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis to monitor the effects and mechanism of probiotic (Lactobacillus casei Zhang) treatment in maintaining gut homeostasis and restoring the gut microbiota/metabolome. Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10 per group): control receiving only saline (Ctrl), antibiotic (AB-Ctrl), antibiotic followed by probiotic (AB-Prob), and antibiotic plus probiotic followed by probiotic (AB + Prob). Rat fecal microbiota and sera were collected at four time points from pre-treatment to post-treatment. The probiotic-treated group (AB + Prob) had significantly more Parabacteroides (P.) goldsteinii after one week of antibiotic and probiotic intervention but fewer antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)-possessing bacteria (Clostridioides difficile and Burkholderiales bacterium). Consistently, metabolomics data revealed that both probiotic groups had more acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and valeric acid post treatment. Moreover, a potential probiotic species, P. goldsteinii, strongly correlated with L. casei, as well as propionic acid, butyric acid, and valeric acid. Furthermore, administering probiotic lowered the serum IL-1α level. In contrast, the antibiotic-recipients had a higher irreversible level of IL-1α, suggesting inflammation of the rats. Thus, antibiotic treatment not only led to host gut dysbiosis, but inflammatory responses and an increase in gut ARGs. Daily L. casei Zhang supplementation could alleviate the side effect of cefdinir intervention and facilitate the restoration of gut microbial homeostasis, and these probiotic effects might involve P. goldsteinii-mediated beneficial activities.

Abstract
The importance of alveolar macrophages has been reported in many toxicology/immunology studies. Alveolar macrophages release interleukin (IL)-1α as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) when stimulated by fine particles. However, it is unclear whether cell isolation procedures affect ex vivo particle-induced responses in primary mouse alveolar macrophages (mAM). In this study, effects of injection buffer volume used to perform bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collection to isolate mAM for use in ex vivo particle-induced responses were assessed. Among the mAM obtained from BALF collected using a 0.55 or 0.75 ml, but not a 1.0 ml buffer injection volume, decreased cell viability and IL-1α release were observed when cells were stimulated ex vivo with silica crystal or aluminum salt. Injected buffer composition did not affect the IL-1α release. On the other hand, IL-6 secretion induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) did not differ among mAM obtained from BALF collected using the different volumes. Expression levels of cell surface markers like CD11c, SiglecF, and CD64 did not differ among mAM obtained from BALF collected using the different injection buffer volumes. IL-1α release (and also necroptosis) induced by ex vivoparticle stimulation was suppressed by RIPK3 inhibitor or cytochalasin D co-treatment. Decreases in RIPK3 phosphorylation were noted in mAM obtained in BALF collected using the 1.0 ml injection volume compared with mAM obtained in BALF using 0.55 or 0.75 ml buffer. These observations illustrate that larger volumes of buffer used to collect BALF from mice can affect sensitivity of the isolated mAM to ex vivo particle-induced responses by inhibiting their functions.

Abstract
Background/Purpose Although an inflammatory response upon acute injury caused by ultraviolet radiation (UV) can be observed immediately, the influence of long‐term, repetitive low‐dose UV exposure on the skin cannot be precisely perceived, making early detection of chronic damage difficult. This study investigated bioactive substances in the stratum corneum as a potential early and sensitive indicator of the influence of sun exposure on the skin using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Methods Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to assess the responsiveness of cytokines [interleukin (IL)‐1α, IL‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1ra), IL‐10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α], BCL2‐associated protein X (Bax), Toll‐like receptor (TLR)3, and TLR4 in the stratum corneum of healthy people exposed (dorsum of the hand) and unexposed (inner arm) to UV. Sunscreen was applied to patients with photodermatosis for 4 weeks to evaluate changes in IL‐1ra/IL‐1α, TNF‐α, Bax, and TLR3 levels after sunscreen application, as these molecules exhibited high responsiveness to sun exposure according to ROC analysis. In addition, IL‐1ra, IL‐1α, and IL‐10 levels were quantified by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, and TNF‐α, Bax, TLR3, and TLR4 levels were semi‐quantitatively assessed by immunocytochemistry. Results Receiver operating characteristic analysis identified IL‐1ra/IL‐1α, TNF‐α, Bax, and TLR3 in the stratum corneum as highly responsive to sun exposure. Moreover, in participants, including patients with photodermatosis, IL‐1ra/IL‐1α, TNF‐α, and Bax levels decreased significantly after sunscreen application. Conclusion The results revealed that IL‐1ra/IL‐1α, TNF‐α, and Bax in the stratum corneum represent sensitive indicators of the influence of sun exposure on the skin.

Abstract
Background Necroptosis is an inflammatory cell death associated with a variety of chronic diseases. Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory disease accompanied by eosinophil and neutrophil infiltration. The role of necroptosis in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP remains elusive. Methods Cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis in control sinonasal mucosa and CRSwNP, were analyzed by immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) staining for cleaved caspase 3, cleaved gasdermin D and p-MLKL, respectively. Correlations between necroptosis, inflammatory cytokines and neutrophil infiltration were assessed and a possible role of necroptosis in CRSwNP was evaluated. Primary nasal polyp cells (DNPCs) were stimulated with damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) including ATP or IL-1α and their expression of inflammatory cytokines was analyzed using RT-PCR. The expression of TNF-α and IFNs in nasal polyps was measured by ELISA; human monocyte THP-1 cells were treated with TNF-α or IFN-γ and cell death was measured by LDH release. Results Necroptosis, rather than apoptosis or pyroptosis, was overtly activated in both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic CRSwNP as evidenced by the presence of prominent phosphorylation of MLKL compared to controls. The abundance of DAMPs (IL-1α, HMGB1), inflammatory cytokines (IL-6) and chemokines (IL-8, CXCL-1) were all increased especially in non-eosinophilic CRSwNP. The extent of necroptosis was positively correlated with the abundance of DAMPs and cytokines, and neutrophil infiltration in CRSwNP. In DNPCs, ATP and IL-1α induced the expression of IL-8 and CXCL-1. Macrophage was found to be the predominant cell type positive for p-MLKL in CRSwNP. Concomitant treatment with TNF-α and IFN-γ, which were abundantly present in CRSwNP, triggered marked necroptosis in THP-1 cells. Conclusion Necroptosis induced by TNF-α and IFN-γ may facilitate the production and release of a myriad of proinflammatory cytokines and entailed neutrophil infiltration to exacerbate inflammation in CRSwNP.

Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis-genital infection in women can be modeled in mice using Chlamydia muridarum. Using this model, it has been shown that the cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α and interleukin (IL)-1α lead to irreversible tissue damage in the oviducts. In this study, we investigated the contribution of TNFα on IL-1α synthesis in infected epithelial cells. We show that C muridarum infection enhanced TNFα-induced IL-1α expression and release in a mouse epithelial cell line. In addition to IL-1α, several TNFα-induced inflammatory genes were also highly induced, and infection enhanced TNF-induced cell death. In the mouse model of genital infection, oviducts from mice lacking the TNFα receptor displayed minimal staining for IL-1α compared with wild-type oviducts. Our results suggest TNFα and IL-1α enhance each other's downstream effects resulting in a hyperinflammatory response to chlamydial infection. We propose that biologics targeting TNF-induced IL-1α synthesis could be used to mitigate tissue damage during chlamydial infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Skin tissue is the natural barrier that protects our body, the damage of which can be repaired by the epidermal stem cells (ESCs). However, external factors abolish the self-repair ability of ESCs by inducing oxidative stress and severe inflammation. Apremilast is a small molecular inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 that was approved for the treatment of psoriasis. In the present study, the protective property of Apremilast against IL-1α-induced dysfunction on epidermal stem cells, as well as the preliminary mechanism, will be investigated. METHODS ESCs were isolated from neonatal mice. The expression levels of TNF-α, IL-8, IL-12, MMP-2, and MMP-9 were detected using real-time PCR and ELISA. MitoSOX Red assay was used to determine the level of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Western blot and real-time PCR were utilized to determine the expression levels of IL-1R1, Myd88, and TRAF6. Activation of NF-κB was assessed by measuring the p-NF-κB p65 and luciferase activity. Capacities of ESCs were evaluated by measuring the gene expressions of integrin β1 and Krt19 using real-time PCR. RESULTS Firstly, the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-8, IL-12, MMP-2, MMP-9 and IL-1R1, as well as the ROS level, were significantly elevated by IL-1α but greatly suppressed by treatment with Apremilast. Subsequently, we found that the activated Myd88/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathway induced by stimulation with IL-1α was significantly inhibited by the introduction of Apremilast. As a result, Apremilast protected ESCs against IL-1α-induced impairment in capacities of ESCs, this was verified by the elevated expression levels of integrin β1 and Krt19. CONCLUSIONS Apremilast might ameliorate IL-1α-induced dysfunction in ESCs by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation through inhibiting the activation of the Myd88/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Male infertility is a problem that affects 10–15% of men of reproductive age. In particular, gametogenesis is a complex process in which inflammation may play a central role through the secretion of cytokines and the expression of microRNAs. We assessed the potential role of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1α) and microRNAs (miR-146a-5p, miR-34a-5p and miR-23a-3p) in the seminal plasma of infertile men compared to controls, evaluating their correlation with seminal and biochemical parameters. Methods and results Expression of cytokines and microRNAs was analyzed by ELISA and q-PCR. Our data shows that IL-1α was significantly increased in the azoospermic group compared to controls, TNF-α mRNA was more expressed in the oligozoospermic group than controls. There were no significant differences in miRNAs expression among the three groups. The correlations between sperm parameters and inflammatory markers were evaluated, however no significance was highlighted. Conclusions The determination of each inflammatory marker separately in the seminal plasma of subfertile men, despite some significant differences, does not have a diagnostic value in male infertility even if an assay of selective pro-inflammatory cytokines and microRNAs in the semen may improve the diagnosis of male infertility.

Abstract
Temporin B (TB) is a short, positively charged peptide secreted by the granular glands of the European frog Rana temporaria. While the antibacterial and antiviral efficacy of TB and some of its improved analogs are well documented, nothing is known about their antifungal potency so far. We dedicated this study to characterize the antifungal potential of the TB analog TB_KKG6K and the newly designed D-Lys_TB_KKG6K, the latter having the L-lysines replaced by the chiral counterpart D-lysines to improve its proteolytic stability. Both peptides inhibited the growth of opportunistic human pathogenic yeasts and killed planktonic and sessile cells of the most prevalent human pathogen, Candida albicans. The anti-yeast efficacy of the peptides coincided with the induction of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Their thermal, cation, pH and serum tolerance were similar, while the proteolytic stability of D-Lys_TB_KKG6K was superior to that of its template peptide. Importantly, both peptides lacked hemolytic activity and showed minimal in vitro cytotoxicity in primary human keratinocytes. The tolerance of both peptides in a reconstructed human epidermis model further supports their potential for topical application. Our results open up an exciting field of research for new anti-Candida therapeutic options based on amphibian TB analogs.

Abstract
Identification of factors determining both of favorable and unfavorable outcome of IVF will increase the effectiveness of this method and optimize infertility treatment. The aim of the research is to analyze the correlation between serum IL-1α concentration, its gene rs1800587 (C/T) genotype carrier and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4)), and evaluate the prognostic significance of their combinations in women with tube-peritoneal infertility under the IVF program. 120 patients with tube-peritoneal infertility who applied for an IVF program were examined. Depending on the outcome of the procedure, 2 groups of patients were allocated: 1 group - 40 women who had a pregnancy after IVF, 2 group - 80 patients who did not have a pregnancy. The content of IL-1α, TSH, T3, T4 was determined in blood by ELISA. Genotyping was performed on the rs1800587 (C/T) polymorphic marker of the IL-1α gene. TSH, T3, T4 were within the norm for both groups. In our study, women with a TSH concentration of 0.23 to 1.7 nmol/L had a chance of a favorable IVF outcome 1.4 times higher than with other TSH levels (p = 0.042901); with a T3 level of 1.0 to 1.8 nmol/L had a chance of becoming pregnant 5.7 times higher than with other levels of T3 (p = 0.00002). For T4 concentration, the confidence test was not achieved (p = 0.068505). The individual indicators of IL-1α, TSH, T3 and carrier of the genotype of the gene IL-1α at the preconceptive stage have lower diagnostic value than their combined combination. Three combinations have maximum predictive value: a combination of the T/T genotype of the IL-1α gene and the TSH level of 0.23 to 1.7 nmol/l - OR = 8.1 (p = 0.000048); combination of IL-1α of 28.7 to 85.1 pg/ml, T/T gene genotype IL-1α and TSH level of 0.23 to 1.7 nmol/l - OR = 8.1 (p = 0.000048); combination of IL-1α of 28.7 to 85.1 pg/ml, T/T gene genotype IL-1α, TSH level of 0.23 to 1.7 nmol/l and T3 level of 1.0 to 1.8 nmol/l - OR = 8.1 (p = 0.000146). Thus, proposed new prognostic markers of IVF program effectiveness.

Abstract
Growth and repair processes, both normal and pathological, require reciprocal interactions between cells and their microenvironment. Integrins are bidirectional, cell surface receptors that transduce mechanical and chemical signals to and from the extracellular matrix. We recently reported that keratinocyte α3β1 is required for interleukin (IL)-1α secretion. Importantly, IL-1α regulates fibroblast Cox-2 expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) secretion, thereby linking keratinocyte integrin function to a paracrine signal that suppresses the myofibroblast phenotype. We now report that fibroblast integrin α4β1 is required for this IL-1α-induced, Cox-2 expression. Moreover, Cox-2 induction by IL-1α requires Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), the master regulator of redox homeostasis; and integrin α4β1 is necessary to maintain IL-1α-dependent, Nrf2 levels. Treating fibroblasts with a Nrf-2 activating compound inhibits TGF-β-dependent, alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression and stress fibre formation. Our data suggest that fibroblast integrin α4β1 regulates-depending on microenvironmental cues-the differentiated state of fibroblasts through a signalling network in which IL-1α, Cox-2 and Nrf2 participate.

Abstract
Neutrophils are an important source of interleukin (IL)-1β and other cytokines because they are recruited to sites of infection and inflammation in high numbers. Although secretion of processed, bioactive IL-1β by neutrophils is dependent on NLRP3 and Gasdermin D (GSDMD), IL-1α secretion by neutrophils has not been reported. In this study, we demonstrate that neutrophils produce IL-1α following injection of Aspergillus fumigatus spores that express cell-surface β-Glucan. Although IL-1α secretion by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/ATP-activated macrophages and dendritic cells is GSDMD dependent, IL-1α secretion by β-Glucan-stimulated neutrophils occurs independently of GSDMD. Instead, we found that bioactive IL-1α is in exosomes that were isolated from cell-free media of β-Glucan-stimulated neutrophils. Further, the exosome inhibitor GW4869 significantly reduces IL-1α in extracellular vesicles (EVs) and total cell-free supernatant. Together, these findings identify neutrophils as a source of IL-1α and demonstrate a role for EVs, specifically exosomes, in neutrophil secretion of bioactive IL-1α. Neutrophils have functional NLRP3 and NLRC4 and are recognized as an important source of IL-1β. Ratitong et al. demonstrate that murine neutrophils also produce IL-1α. Unlike macrophages, neutrophil IL-1α is secreted in extracellular vesicles and is released independently of gasdermin D and cell death.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is becoming increasingly prevalent with individual aging. Recent studies found that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) undergo senescence along with the progression of age-related osteoporosis, leading to a decreased rate of new bone formation and fracture repair. The underlying mechanism of MSC senescence in the aged bone marrow has not been clarified yet. Here we found that MSCs from aged mice (12-month-old, O-MSCs) exhibited apparent senescent phenotypes compared with those from young controls (2-month-old, Y-MSCs), including lower proliferation rate, impaired self-renewal capacity, increased p16Ink4a expression and shifted differentiation balance to favor adipocytes over osteoblasts. Bmi-1, one of the main factors that regulate stem cell self-renewal, is dramatically decreased in O-MSCs. Knocking-down of Bmi-1 in Y-MSCs lead to cellular senescence, while over-expression of it rejuvenated O-MSCs. We further showed that the level of IL-1α is much higher in the bone marrow fluid of aged mice, which significantly inhibited Bmi-1 expression in MSCs. Our present study indicated that IL-1α, a key component of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), is elevated in the aged bone marrow microenvironment, leading to decreased Bmi-1 expression in MSCs and consequently, MSC senescence.

Abstract
The thirteen-lined ground squirrel is a model fat-storing hibernator that nearly doubles its weight in the fall to fuel metabolism with triglycerides throughout the winter months. Hibernator brown and white adipose tissue (BAT, WAT) are important to study in terms of their inflammatory profile and tissue remodeling mechanisms since controlled and natural regulation of these processes could inform new pharmacological interventions that limit oxidative stress and inflammation in the adipose tissues of humans suffering from obesity, promote non-shivering thermogenesis-mediated weight loss, or prevent tissue damage in transplantable organs emerging from cold-storage. Thus, markers of inflammation like cytokines and soluble receptors and tissue remodeling proteins such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) were investigated in normothermic, torpid, and arousing ground squirrels. Multiplex protein assays and western blotting revealed fewer changes in WAT compared to BAT. Pro-inflammatory IL-1α levels increased during torpor and soluble epidermal growth factor receptor protein levels increased during arousal in BAT. Given their known roles in other model systems, these proteins could regulate processes like adipogenesis, lipid catabolism, or cell motility. Decreased TIMP2 levels combined with maintained MMP2 or MMP3 protein levels suggested that BAT may avoid tissue remodeling until arousal. No changes in WAT inflammatory cytokines or soluble receptors as well as decreased MMP2 levels during torpor and arousal suggested inflammation and modification to the extracellular matrix is likely suppressed in WAT. This study emphasizes the fat-but-fit nature of the hibernating ground squirrel and the ability of its fat stores to suppress inflammation.

Abstract
IL-1α serves as a pro-inflammatory cytokine. Although pro-IL-1α has cytokine activity, proteolytic maturation increases its potency and release from cells. IL-1α maturation occurs in a caspase-1-dependent manner following inflammasome activation. However, pro-IL-1α is not a substrate of caspase-1, and it remains unclear what mediates the maturation of this cytokine downstream of inflammasomes. Here, we show that gasdermin D (GSDMD), an executor of pyroptosis, is required for the rapid induction of IL-1α maturation by non-particulate inflammasome activators. Ablation of GSDMD abrogates the maturation of IL-1α, but not of IL-1β. Inflammasome-induced maturation of IL-1α relies on extracellular Ca2+ and calpains. Ca2+ influx and calpain activation are induced in a GSDMD-dependent manner. Glycine, which inhibits cell lysis, but not GSDMD pore formation, does not affect IL-1α maturation. These results suggest that during inflammasome activation, GSDMD processed by caspase-1 forms plasma membrane pores that mediate Ca2+ influx, resulting in the calpain-dependent maturation of IL-1α.

Abstract
Acute pericarditis is characterized by an intense inflammatory response involving the pericardium. Although mostly benign in its clinical course, 30% of patients may experience complications (recurrence, treatment failure, cardiac tamponade). The pathogenesis of pericarditis is poorly understood. The scarcity of animal models might justify the limited understanding of this syndrome and the lack of targeted therapies. Acute pericarditis is believed to represent a stereotypical response to an acute injury of the pericardium. The NLRP3 inflammasome, through its main product, IL-1β, could play a central role in the clinical manifestations. A mouse model of acute pericarditis was developed through the intrapericardial injection of zymosan A, leading to the classical features of the inflamed pericardium: pericardial effusion, pericardial thickening, and increased expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome. By inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome or IL-1β, the pericardial effusion and thickening and the NLRP3 inflammasome expression were greatly reduced compared with vehicle. Treatment with IL-1 trap, neutralizing both IL-1β and IL-1α, produced a powerful effect on pericardial inflammation in the experimental pericarditis model.
Human samples of patients with chronic pericarditis and appropriate control subjects were stained for the inflammasome components. A mouse model of pericarditis was developed through the intrapericardial injection of zymosan A. Different inflammasome blockers were tested in the mouse model. Patients with pericarditis presented an intensification of the inflammasome activation compared with control subjects. The experimental model showed the pathological features of pericarditis. Among inflammasome blockers, NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, anakinra, and interleukin-1 trap were found to significantly improve pericardial alterations. Colchicine partially improved the pericardial inflammation. An intense activation of the inflammasome in pericarditis was demonstrated both in humans and in mice.
