The interleukin-(IL)-1 subfamily consists of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-1 receptor antagonist IL-1Ra and IL-33. These cytokines are the main members of the IL-1 family and have been widely recognized as having significant roles in pro-inflammatory and immunomodulatory actions. Mounting evidence has revealed that these cytokines also play key roles in the regulation of glycolysis, which is an important metabolic pathway in most organisms that provides energy. Dysregulation of glycolysis is associated with various diseases, including type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cancer. We reviewed studies addressing the important roles of IL-1 subfamily cytokines, with particular focus on their ability to regulate glycolysis in disease states. In this review, we summarize the potential roles of IL-1 subfamily members in glycolysis in disease states and address the underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of these cytokines as therapeutic targets in clinical applications to provide insight into possible therapeutic strategies for treatment, especially for cancers.

Drug-resistant epilepsy in pediatric patients is associated with neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Vitamin D 25-OH exerts neuroprotective effects, while glial cell line- derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) are implicated in the mechanisms of neuroinflammation and epileptogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin D 25-OH, IL-1β, and GDNF levels with seizure severity and frequency in children with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disintegration is a key contributor to neuroinflammation; however, the biological processes governing BBB permeability under physiological conditions remain unclear. Here, we investigate the role of NLRP3 inflammasome in BBB disruption following peripheral inflammatory challenges. Repeated intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide administration causes NLRP3-dependent BBB permeabilization and myeloid cell infiltration into the brain.

Sterile alpha and Toll/interleukin-1 receptor motif containing 1 (SARM1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-utilizing enzyme, mediates axon degeneration (AxD) in various neurodegenerative diseases. It is activated by nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to produce a calcium messenger, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). This activity is blocked by elevated NAD level.

Interleukin-1 receptor-related kinase (IRAK4) is a widely expressed serine/threonine kinase involved in the regulation of innate immunity. IRAK4 plays a pivotal role as a key kinase within the downstream signaling pathway cascades of interleukin-1 receptors (IL-1R) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs). The signaling pathways orchestrated by IRAK4 are integral to inflammatory responses, and its overexpression is implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancer.
