Summary
Under acidic conditions both pro-inflammatory forms of Il1a and Il1b are regulated independently of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
In response to adenovirus infection, the IL1A-IL1R1-CXCR2 signalling axis cooperates with complement to recruit Ly-6G+7/4+ polymorphonuclear leukocytes to the splenic marginal zone (MZ) in the proximity of virus-containing MARCO+ residential MZ macrophages, which are subsequently eliminated.
NLRP3 inflammasome formation is dispensable for alum-induced innate immunity but Il1a and Il1b are both necessary for alum-induced neutrophil influx in vivo.
Il1a directly senses DNA damage and acts as signal for genotoxic stress without loss of cell integrity.

Summary
[Homo sapiens] Interleukin-1 (IL1A/IL1B) plays a key role in the interaction between local vessel wall cells and invading monocytes to multiply cholesterol-triggered inflammation in the vessel wall.
[Homo sapiens] IFNG interferes with the IL-1/NFKBIZ axis in β-glucan-activated dendritic cells and promotes T cell-mediated immune responses with increased release of IFNG and IL22, and diminished production of IL17A.
[Homo sapiens] CASP4 is a critical regulator of noncanonical inflammasome activation that initiates defence against bacterial pathogens in primary macrophages by mediating cell death and IL1A release
[Homo sapiens] IL1A directly senses DNA damage and acts as signal for genotoxic stress without loss of cell integrity.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000115008:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in various immune responses, inflammatory processes, and hematopoiesis. This cytokine is produced by monocytes and macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed and released in response to cell injury, and thus induces apoptosis. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. It has been suggested that the polymorphism of these genes is associated with rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
