Abstract

IL-1β is one of the cytokines which can induce bone resorption and connective tissue destruction. Previous studies demonstrated that the amount of IL-1β in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was closely related to the severity of gingival index (GI) and probing depth (PD). To further investigate whether the amount of IL-1β in GCF and the tissues adjacent to the periodontal pockets can reflect the degree of inflammation and destruction of these tissues, the GCF and inflamed gingival specimens were harvested from 14 periodontal patients and IL-1β in these samples was measured by ELISA.

Clinical parameters of the sampled teeth were also recorded. Possible relations among periodontal parameters, GCF or tissue IL-1β and the degrees of inflammation in tissue sections were analysed statistically. The results showed that with increasing GI and PD, there was an elevation of GCF and tissue IL-1β activity. GCF flow also showed a tendency to increase with a higher percentage of inflammatory infiltrate. The GCF and tissue IL-1β activity were significantly correlated with clinical parameters (GI, PD and GCF flow), as well as with the percentage of inflammatory infiltrate and tissue alterations. With the exception of a significantly negative correlation with the extent of inflammation, no obvious relation between the GCF or tissue concentration of IL-1β and the state of tissue pathology could be detected. In conclusion, measurements of IL-1β activity in GCF or diseased tissues based on the classification of clinical parameters can reflect the degree of inflammation within periodontal disease tissue. These observations indicate that clinical parameters can provide reliable means for evaluation of the severity of periodontal disease, and that IL-1β plays a pivotal role in the pathogenic mechanism of periodontal tissue destruction.

Sulfated polysaccharides from the marine algae Gracilaria caudata prevent tissue damage caused by ligature-induced periodontitis
2019, International Journal of Biological Macromolecules

Within several cytokines that are observed during periodontitis is the interleukin-1B. A high level of this mediator is according to high GBI score and PPD value [28]. The PLS from G. caudata was shown to reduce interleukin-1B levels during induced inflammation [10].
Sulfated polysaccharides (PLS) extracted from the marine algae of the genus Gracilaria showed biological activity in different inflammatory models, except for periodontitis. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment with PLS from Gracilaria caudata in ligature-induced periodontitis. 40 animals distributed into 5 groups were used (the control group (unligated), the ligated untreated group, and the ligated groups treated with 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/kg of PLS with intraperitoneal injection, respectively). After 20 days of treatment, the animals were killed and the following parameters were evaluated: Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI), Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, Alveolar Bone Loss (ABL) for periodontal tissues; histopathological examination of gingival and liver tissues (Steatosis score); glutathione and malondialdehyde concentrations in the liver, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. The data revealed that treatment with 2.5 mg/kg of PLS showed the best anti-inflammatory effects with reduction of GBI, PPD and MPO activity, as well as oxidative stress and steatosis in liver. Our results indicated that the adjunct treatment with PLS from Gracilaria caudata could prevent the periodontal and hepatic tissue alteration caused by periodontitis.
Serum interleukin-1β in subjects with abdominal obesity and periodontitis
2015, Obesity Research and Clinical Practice
Citation Excerpt :
An inflamed periodontium is a potential reservoir of endotoxins and cytokines [26]. The findings of this study supplement earlier information on cytokine synthesis in response to periodontopathogenic bacteria and their products [27]. Evidence suggested that both keratinocytes and gingival fibroblasts produce interleukin-1β in response to stimulation by bacterial products [28].
Abdominal obesity and periodontal diseases are believed to share close relation through commonality of chronic inflammation. Both inflammatory periodontal disease and excess abdominal fat modulate their systemic influences through several inflammatory mediators. The present study was carried out to evaluate and compare serum interleukin-1β levels in subjects with abdominal obesity and periodontal disease.
Sixty non-diabetic and non-smoking subjects (aged 25–49 years; 28 females and 32 males) were assessed for abdominal obesity by waist to hip ratio. Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements were recorded for determination of periodontal status. Serum samples were obtained and interleukin-1β was assessed using commercially available ELISA kit. Obtained data were analyzed statistically.
Measures of abdominal obesity and periodontal disease were found to significantly influence the serum interleukin-1β. Abdominally obese subjects had significantly higher serum interleukin-1β in healthy (p = 0.006), gingivitis (p < 0.001) and periodontitis (p < 0.001) groups. There was a significant difference in serum interleukin-1β levels among subjects with different periodontal status in both non obese (F(2,27) = 18.17, p < 0.0001) and obese groups (F(2,27) = 15.70, p < 0.0001). Serum interleukin-1β was significantly correlated with PI, GI, BOP%, PD and CAL non obese and obese groups. A significant correlation was also seen with WC, HC and WHR only in obese group.
Significant changes in serum interleukin-1β are influenced by abdominal obesity and periodontal status independently even in the absence of diabetes mellitus and smoking. Serum interleukin-1β was significantly higher in patients with abdominal obesity and periodontitis.
Integrin α5β1 Activates the NLRP3 Inflammasome by Direct Interaction with a Bacterial Surface Protein
2012, Immunity
Citation Excerpt :
Periodontitis, one of the most prevalent oral diseases, is a chronic inflammatory disease and major cause of tooth loss induced by bacteria in the subgingival sulcus and is progressed by host factors that are exaggerated by inflammation and immune reactions. The proinflammatory and bone-resorptive characteristics of IL-1β are associated with the immunopathology of periodontitis, leading to periodontal tissue destruction (Liu et al., 1996). IL-1β is increased in the gingival crevicular fluid of periodontitis patients and correlates to the presence of major periodontopathogens, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, and Treponema denticola, the so-called red complex (Teles et al., 2010), and to disease severity (Ferreira et al., 2008).
Integrins are cell-surface heterodimeric glycoproteins composed of alpha and beta subunits that mediate cell-cell, cell-extracellular matrix, and cell-pathogen interactions. In this study, we report a specific role of integrin α5β1 in NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages stimulated by Td92, a surface protein of the periodontopathogen, Treponema denticola. The direct interaction of Td92 with the cell membrane integrin α5β1 resulted in ATP release and K⁺ efflux, which are the main events in NLRP3 activation. This interaction was arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD)-independent, and Td92 internalization was not required for the activity. An integrin α5β1 antibody and oxATP, an ATP receptor antagonist, inhibited NLRP3 expression, caspase-1 activation, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion, and proIL-1β synthesis, all of which were regulated by NF-κB activation. Therefore, our data has identified the integrin α5β1 as a principal cell membrane receptor for both NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β transcription by a bacterial protein, which could exaggerate inflammation, a characteristic of periodontitis.
Structural and functional comparison of cytokine interleukin-1 beta from chicken and human
2011, Molecular Immunology

The active IL-1β is then able to interact with type I interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R type I) and induce the expression of immune-related molecules such as cytokines and chemokines, thus triggering a cascade of immune responses (Dinarello, 1996; Introna et al., 1993). IL-1β dysfunction is associated with tumorigenesis, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontal disease (Liu et al., 1996; Stern et al., 2003; Vidal-Vanaclocha et al., 2000). In contrast to mammalian IL-1βs, little is known about the characteristics of avian IL-1βs.
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is an important cytokine in the immune system. The properties of avian IL-1βs are less well understood than the mammalian IL-1βs, and there is no available structure of avian IL-1βs in the Protein Data Bank. Here, we report the crystal structures of wild-type and Y157F mutant IL-1βs from chicken. Both the wild-type and mutant IL-1βs share a beta-trefoil conformation similar to that of human IL-1β and also have an internal hydrophobic cavity. However, the cavity sizes clearly differ from that of human IL-1β due to the packing of hydrophobic residues. Our studies also reveal that the relative thermal stability of IL-1βs does not correlate with cavity size but rather is dependent on the amino acid residues present around the cavity. This cavity serves as a scaffold for maintaining the structure of the IL-1β core region but does not have a biological function per se. Moreover, we found that human IL-1β cannot induce chemokine expression in chicken fibroblasts or elevate plasma cortisol levels in chickens, implying a lack of cross-species bioactivity. Close examination reveals that significant structural and sequence differences occur in the terminal and some loop regions between human and chicken IL-1βs. These variable regions have been shown to be critical for receptor binding, thus resulting in a lack of species cross-reactivity between human and chicken IL-1β.
