| Abstract | Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a major proinflammatory cytokine produced by monocytes/macrophages. At the inflammatory site, IL-1 is a potent inducer of the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and metalloproteinases on fibroblast-like cells, thus triggering tissue damage. The biological activity of IL-1 is counterbalanced by two types of inhibitors: the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) which competitively binds IL-1 receptor without inducing signal transduction; and IL-1 soluble receptors (IL-1sR) which bind IL-1 and diminish the free concentration of soluble cytokine, thus hampering its binding to the cell surface receptor. Since IL-1sR can also bind IL-1Ra, we studied the simultaneous effects of both inhibitors on the production of interstitial collagenase (C'ase) and PGE2 by human dermal fibroblasts and synovial cells stimulated by either IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta. IL-1Ra inhibited fibroblast and synovial cell stimulation by approximately 90%, with the exception of C'ase production by synovial cells which was inhibited by approximately 55%. Type I IL-1sR (IL-1sRI) preferentially inhibited IL-1 alpha, whereas type II IL-1sR (IL-1sRII) mainly inhibited IL-1 beta. When IL-1Ra was used simultaneously with IL-1sRI, the final inhibition was lower than that of either of the inhibitors. The simultaneous presence of IL-1Ra and IL-1sRII abolished the IL-1-induced production of PGE2 and C'ase on both dermal fibroblasts and synovial cells, demonstrating that concurrently these two inhibitors are able to abolish most of the inflammatory response. To our knowledge, this is the first example of two types of inhibitors that abolish each other's effects, one of which acts at the receptor level and the other at the ligand level, thus leaving ligand activity unimpaired. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
