Interleukin-1 is a prototypic proinflammatory cytokine that is elevated in cytokine storm syndromes (CSSs), such as secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). IL-1 has many pleotropic and redundant roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Blockade of IL-1 with recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist has shown efficacy in treating CSS. Recently, an IL-1 family member, IL-18, has been demonstrated to be contributory to CSS in autoinflammatory conditions, such as in inflammasomopathies (e.g., NLRC4 mutations). Anecdotally, recombinant IL-18 binding protein can be of benefit in treating IL-18-driven CSS. Lastly, another IL-1 family member, IL-33, has been postulated to contribute to CSS in an animal model of disease. Targeting of IL-1 and related cytokines holds promise in treating a variety of CSS.

Caspase family proteases and Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-domain proteins have central roles in innate immunity and regulated cell death in humans. We describe a bacterial immune system comprising both a caspase-like protease and a TIR-domain protein. We found that the TIR protein, once it recognizes phage invasion, produces the previously unknown immune signaling molecule adenosine 5'-diphosphate-cyclo[N7:1'']-ribose (N7-cADPR).

Aim: Tissue-invasive bacteria have been proposed to be a crucial factor in the etiopathogenesis of periodontitis, with the probable interaction of tissue-invasive bacteria with the innate immune response through inflammasomes, perpetuating periodontal attachment loss. This study aims to reveal the correlation between such tissue-invasive bacteria in upregulating inflammasomes and pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Materials And Methods: This study recruited a total of 10 patients with stage III/IV and grade C periodontitis based on the bone loss to age ratio.

Background: Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, presents considerable difficulties in treatment, particularly when dealing with drug-resistant cases. Dapsone, recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties, holds promise as a potential therapeutic option. However, its effectiveness in epilepsy requires further investigation.

Autoinflammatory bone disorders (ABDs) are characterized by sterile bone inflammation stemming from dysregulated innate immune responses. This review focuses on the occurrence of sterile osteomyelitis in ABDs and related diseases, notably chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) and its sporadic and monogenic forms, such as deficiency of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist, Majeed syndrome, CNO related to mutation, and pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA syndrome). Additionally, other autoinflammatory disorders (AIDs) are discussed, including classical periodic fever syndromes (e.

CRC (Colorectal cancer) ranks among the most prevalent tumors in humans and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Numerous studies have highlighted the connection between inflammasome over-activation and the initiation and progression of CRC. The activation of the NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3) inflammasome is dependent on the nuclear NF-kβ (Nuclear Factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) pathway, leading to the maturation and release of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1ß (Interleukin 1 beta) and IL-18 (Interleukin 18).
