Relationship between interleukin-1 type 1 and 2 receptor gene polymorphisms and the expression level of membrane-bound receptors.

ABSTRACT: The biological activity of the multifunctional cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) is mediated by its receptors. The aim of this study was to determine if an association exists between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-1 type 1 and 2 receptor genes (IL1R1 and IL1R2) and the expression level of membrane-bound IL1Rs on subpopulations of mononuclear cells or serum levels of soluble IL-1 receptors. It was observed that healthy individuals with the genotype TT in SNP rs2234650:C>T had a lower percentage of intact CD14(+) monocytes expressing IL1R1 on their surface. The SNP rs4141134:T>C in IL1R2 has also been associated with the percentage of intact CD3(+) T cells expressing IL1R2. Furthermore, individuals carrying the CC allele of SNP rs4141134:T>C and the TT allele of SNP rs2071008:T>G in IL1R2 had a lower density of IL1R2s on the surface of CD14(+) monocytes in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated PBMC cultures. In summary, this study demonstrated that IL-1 receptor gene polymorphisms could be one of the factors influencing the expression of membrane-bound IL-1 receptors (IL1R) on immunocompetent cells.

Project description:IntroductionThe interleukin-1 (IL-1) family and the NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome contribute to atherogenesis but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Unlike IL-1β, IL-1α is not dependent on the NLRP3 inflammasome to exert its pro-inflammatory effects. Here, a non-genetic model was applied to characterize the role of IL-1α, IL-1β, and NLRP3 for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.MethodsAtherogenesis was induced by gain-of-function PCSK9-AAV8 mutant viruses and feeding of a high-fat western diet (WTD) for 12 weeks in C57Bl6/J wildtype mice (WT) and in Il1a-/-, Nlrp3-/-, and Il1b-/- mice.ResultsPCSK9-Il1a-/- mice showed reduced atherosclerotic plaque area in the aortic root with lower lipid accumulation, while no difference was observed between PCSK9-WT, PCSK9-Nlrp3-/- and PCSK9-Il1b-/- mice. Serum proteomic analysis showed a reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6) in PCSK9-Il1a-/- as well as in PCSK9-Nlrp3-/- and PCSK9-Il1b-/- mice. Bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDC) of PCSK9-WT, PCSK9-Nlrp3-/-, and PCSK9-Il1b-/- mice and primary human monocytes showed translocation of IL-1α to the plasma membrane (csIL-1α) upon stimulation with LPS. The translocation of IL-1α to the cell surface was regulated by myristoylation and increased in mice with hypercholesterolemia. CsIL-1α and IL1R1 protein-protein interaction on endothelial cells induced VCAM1 expression and monocyte adhesion, which was abrogated by the administration of neutralizing antibodies against IL-1α and IL1R1.ConclusionThe results highlight the importance of IL-1α on the cell surface of circulating leucocytes for the development of atherosclerosis. PCSK9-Il1a-/- mice, but not PCSK9-Nlrp3-/- or PCSK9-Il1b-/- mice, are protected from atherosclerosis after induction of hypercholesterolemia independent of circulating cytokines. Myristoylation and translocation of IL-1α to the cell surface in myeloid cells facilitates leukocyte adhesion and contributes to the development of atherosclerosis.
