Role of intracellular interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist in skin carcinogenesis

Abstract: Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is a major mediator of inflammation and exerts pleiotropic effects on many systems. To elucidate the role of its endogenous inhibitor, intracellular IL-1 receptor antagonist (icIL-1Ra), in mouse skin, we produced an icIL-1Ra-overexpressing skin carcinoma cell line (icIL-1Ra-JWF2). Altered expression of icIL-1Ra did not change IL-1alpha mRNA levels in these transfected cells. In icIL-1Ra-JWF2 cells, however, cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA levels were dramatically reduced and shown to be transcriptio… Show more

“…Interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist, an anti-inflammatory protein secreted by adipose tissue (57), may be another adipokine with an anticarcinogenic effect (58,59). However, the role of IL-1/ IL-1 receptor/IL-1 receptor antagonist system in carcinogenesis has not been fully settled (60).…”

“…Despite the lack of leader peptide, intracellular IL-1Ra isoforms can be released into the circulation by dying cells or actively secreted by an unknown leaderless pathway, and bind with high affinity to IL-1R1 to antagonize the effects of IL-1 [2]. In addition, intracellular IL-1R1-independent functions have also been reported for intracellular IL-1Ra isoforms [16][17][18][19].…”

“…IL-1R blockade also reduced hepatic tumor growth [19]. Moreover, it has also been reported that IL-1Ra reduces fibrosarcoma development [20], B16 melanoma growth and metastasis [21], colon adenocarcinoma growth [22], and skin cancer development [23]. IL-1 knockout mice injected with melanoma failed to develop solid tumors [24].…”
