Summary
Il1b acts as a growth factor for neutrophil progenitors and as a survival factor for mature neutrophils. In the absence of Ikbkb, the Il1b production is enhanced and provides a compensatory mechanism for maintaining antibacterial defense when NFKB is inhibited.
Il1b secretion in macrophages is regulated by autophagy by two mechanisms; sequestering of pro-Il1b in autophagosome during TLR stimulation, and processing/secretion of Il1b in a Nlrp3- and TRIF-dependent manner.
Il1b secretion is induced only during viable E. coli infection (as oppose to heat-killed E. coli or LPS), viable bacteria specifically elicit cleavage of pro-Il1b.
Il1b derived from alveolar macrophages is the critical mediator which induces chemokine production in nonhematopoietic cells in the lung, resulting in swift and robust recruitment of infection-controlling neutrophils into the airways.
Il1b secretion is tightly regulated by the redox status in myeloid cells. TLR engagement in monocytes induces ROS generation followed by a sustained antioxidant response and efficient Il1b secretion. In macrophages, the antioxidant systems are in an upregulated state, and therefore buffers the TLR induction of the redox response, which results in low Il1b processing and secretion. (Demonstrated in human)
Il1b is an inflammatory cytokine that binds to its primary receptor, Il1r1, that then recruits the accessory protein Il1rap to form a signalling-competent heterotrimeric complex. (Demonstrated in human)
Under acidic conditions both pro-inflammatory forms of Il1a and Il1b are regulated independently of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
Group B streptococcus induces Il1b, and activates the NLRP3 inflammasome by a mechanism that requires hemolysin-mediated lysosomal leakage, which enhances the interaction of bacterial RNA with NLRP3.
Actin polymerization is required for Nlrc4-dependent regulation of intracellular bacterial burden, inflammasome assembly, pyroptosis, and Il1b production.
Autophagy causes PELI3 degradation during Tlr4-signalling, subsequently inhibiting Il1b expression and impairing the hyperinflammatory phase during sepsis.
Activation of the Nlrp3 inflammasome is detrimental during leishmaniasis. Mice lacking the inflammasome components Nlrp3, Pycard, Casp1 exhibit defective Il1b and Il18 production at the infection site and are resistant to cutaneous Leishmania major infection.
Escherichia coli toxin CNF1 promotes the maturation/secretion of Il1b while the α-hemolysin toxin inhibits Il1b secretion without affecting the recruitment of Ly6g+ cells.
Mirlet7f and its target Tnfaip3 regulate immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and control bacterial burden by augmenting the production of Tnf and Il1b.
Defb1 is important for the control of early mucosal Candida infection and plays a critical role in the induction of innate inflammatory mediators including, Il1b, Il6, Cxcl1, Il17a, and Il17f.
Type 1 regulatory (Tr1) cells suppress Il1b transcription and Casp1 activation via an IL10R â??dependent mechanism.
NLRP3 inflammasome formation is dispensable for alum-induced innate immunity but Il1a and Il1b are both necessary for alum-induced neutrophil influx in vivo.

Summary
[Homo sapiens] IL1B is an important proinflammatory cytokine that activates monocytes, macropages, and neutrophils. IL1B processing during infection is a complex process in which the inflammasomes are only one of several activation mechanisms.
[Homo sapiens] Mature IL1B production requires, in addition to the synthesis of pro-IL1B, cleavage of the precursor protein by the inflammatory CASP1 (Caspase-1) which is controlled within the NLRP3 inflammasome.
[Homo sapiens] IL1B-producing conventional dendritic cells preserves and expands IL-22(+)AHR(+) immature human natural killer cells in the secondary lymphoid tissue.
[Homo sapiens] IL1B acts as a growth factor for neutrophil progenitors and as a survival factor for mature neutrophils. In the absence of IKBKB, the IL1B production is enhanced and provides a compensatory mechanism for maintaining antibacterial defense when NFKB is inhibited. (Demonstrated in murine model)
[Homo sapiens] IL1B secretion in macrophages is regulated by autophagy by two mechanisms; sequestering of pro-IL1B in autophagosome during TLR stimulation, and processing,secretion of IL1B in a NLRP3- and TRIF-dependent manner.
[Homo sapiens] IL1B secretion is induced only during viable E. coli infection (as oppose to heat-killed E. coli or LPS); Viable bacteria specifically elicit cleavage of pro-IL1B. (Demonstrated in murine model)

[Homo sapiens] IL1B secretion is tightly regulated by the redox status in myeloid cells. TLR engagement in monocytes induces ROS generation followed by a sustained antioxidant response and efficient IL1B secretion. In macrophages, the antioxidant systems are in an upregulated state, and therefore buffers the TLR induction of the redox response, which results in low IL1B processing and secretion.
[Homo sapiens] IL1B is an important component of the cellular network involving macrophages and epithelial cells, which facilitates IL8 chemokine expression and aids neutrophil recruitment during pneumococcal pneumonia.
[Homo sapiens] IL1B is an inflammatory cytokine that binds to its primary receptor, IL1R1, that then recruits the accessory protein IL1RAP to form a signalling-competent heterotrimeric complex.
[Homo sapiens] TLR8 plays a pathogenic role in disease whereby its expression is increased in patients with systemic arthritis and is correlated with the elevation of IL1B levels and disease status.
[Homo sapiens] Protein-bound polysaccharide-K can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and induce IL1B in a TLR2- and NLRP3-dependent manner.
[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] DEFB103A and RNASE7 are induced in human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) by classical inflammatory cytokines such as: IFNG, IL1B and TNF.
[Homo sapiens] Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of Dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) elevates mature IL1B secretion via SYK signalling pathway in primary monocytes.
[Homo sapiens] Differentiation of Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) to IL7R(+) ILC1 is reversible whereas IL7R(+) ILC1 can differentiate to ILC3 in the presence of IL2, IL23A, and IL1B dependent on the transcription factor RORC, and this process is enhanced in the presence of retinoic acid.
[Homo sapiens] 20-kDa IL1B generated from CASP1 cleaved pro-IL1B limits the available pro-IL1B for generation of CASP1 cleaved 17-kDa IL1B, thus reducing inflammation.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000125538:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is produced by activated macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed to its active form by caspase 1 (CASP1/ICE). This cytokine is an important mediator of the inflammatory response, and is involved in a variety of cellular activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX2) by this cytokine in the central nervous system (CNS) is found to contribute to inflammatory pain hypersensitivity. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
