Sustained Effects of Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Treatment in Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: OBJECTIVEInterleukin (IL)-1 impairs insulin secretion and induces β-cell apoptosis. Pancreatic β-cell IL-1 expression is increased and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) expression reduced in patients with type 2 diabetes. Treatment with recombinant IL-1Ra improves glycemia and β-cell function and reduces inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes. Here we investigated the durability of these responses.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSAmong 70 ambulatory patients who had type 2 diabetes, A1C >7.5%… Show more

“…Whether inflammation is also present in islets and whether this contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes are important questions because of the central role of beta cell dysfunction in the disease pathogenesis [22]. Moreover, IL-1ra therapy is under evaluation for the treatment of type 2 diabetes [34,35], based on studies suggesting that high-glucose-induced IL-1β secretion by beta cells causes beta cell dysfunction and death [21].…”

“…The effects on beta cell function and inflammatory markers were sustained after 39 weeks [85]. Interestingly, the baseline endogenous circulating IL-1RA level was markedly lower in patients responding to IL-1RA therapy, and this difference was stable at 52 weeks of followup.…”

“…Moreover, two studies have demonstrated persistent effects up to several weeks after treatment cessation with anakinra [71] or anti-IL-1β antibody [70]. Although the short duration of these studies does not provide definitive conclusions, data suggests that IL-1β blocking activity enhances glucose control in diabetic patients by improving the β-cell function and may even allow a partial generation these cells.…”
