OBJECT The aim of this study was to investigate the association of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) expression with improved survival in patients with glioblastomas multiforme (GBMs). Immune and vascular host-tumor interactions play a pivotal role in the control of tumor development, and inflammatory mechanisms may participate in the host's defense against tumor cells. Expression of proinflammatory cytokines and of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has been noted in various types of malignant…

Cytokine expression profile in human pancreatic carcinoma cells and in surgical specimens: implications for survival

Survival was significantly longer in patients with high IL-1β and IL-11 and moderate IL-12 expression, and patients with low circulating levels of IL-6, IL-18 and TGF-β2 survived longer.

Interleukin-1β promotes hypoxia-induced apoptosis of glioblastoma cells by inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor-1 mediated adrenomedullin production

It is found that in the human glioblastoma cell lines U87MG and U138MG, IL-1β inhibits the transactivation activity of HIF-1 by promoting the ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation of the oxygen-labile α-subunit of Hif-1 and downregulates the expression of the H IF-1 target gene adrenomedullin (AM).

Expression of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase ( iNOS ) in Astrocytomas of Various WHO Grades with and without Malignant Progression

There were no statistically significant differences among astrocytomas of WHO grades II, III, and IV, between astroCytomas with and without malignant progression, and there was no clear correlation between the density of iNOS-immunopositive cells and survival time.

Expressions of some vital molecules: glioblastoma multiforme versus normal tissues

The results suggest that there is a complex relationship between pro- and anti-apoptotic molecules in glioblastoma multiforme pathogenesis, and targeting multiple pathways with advanced chemotherapeutic agents or radiotheraupetic regimens following total resections might be helpful in patients with gliobeasts.

Mining TCGA database for genes of prognostic value in glioblastoma microenvironment

A list of tumor microenvironment-related genes that predict poor outcomes in GBM patients is obtained that mainly participated in immune response, extracellular matrix, and cell adhesion.

Patterns of expression of TSC-22 protein in astrocytic gliomas.

It is shown that the number of cells expressing TSC-22 was significantly lower in glioblastoma tissues than that in diffuse astrocytoma, and double immunohistochemical staining ofAstrocytic tumors using anti- human-TSC-2- and anti-human-GFAP-antibodies showed that both T SC-22 and GFAP expression is co-localized in astroCytes.

Messenger RNA expression of the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10 in human gliomas.

It is suggested that IL-10 may contribute to the progression of astrocytomas by suppressing the patient's immune response, whereas IL-6 provides an additional growth advantage.

Cytokines and immunoregulatory molecules in malignant glial neoplasms.

It is suggested that, in malignant gliomas, the cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6, although weakly present in neoplastic cells, are most prominent in infiltrating macrophages and in those regions of the tumors that show little immunoreactivity for TGF-beta.

Differential effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on proliferation, cell surface antigen expression, and cytokine interactions in malignant gliomas.

It is demonstrated that TNF-alpha can induce changes in growth rate, cytokine production, and surface antigen expression in malignant astrocytomas; however, the nature of these changes is dependent on the specific characteristics of these malignant Astrocytoma cell lines.

Effect of the expression of transforming growth factor-beta 2 in primary human glioblastomas on immunosuppression and loss of immune surveillance.

The authors have studied the expression of transforming growth factor-beta 2, which is known to have potent immunosuppressive and angiogenic properties, and found it to be greatly overexpressed in glioblastomas.

Intracerebral administration of interleukin-1beta and induction of inflammation, apoptosis, and vasogenic edema.

Data indicate that cell death occurred via the apoptotic pathway in intrinsic central nervous system cells and infiltrating inflammatory cells in intracerebral administration of IL-1beta and TNFalpha, and that suppression of these cytokines in the clinical setting may improve outcome.

Expression of lnterleukin-1 β mRNA and Protein in Human Gliomas Assessed by RT-PCR and Immunohistochemistry

It is concluded that in human gliomas, both high-grade astrocytomas and pilocytic astroCytomas often express high IL-iβ production, and that IL- iβ is mainly localized inAstrocytic tumor cells and macrophages.
