PG - 541-50 AB - Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) induces anorexia, fever, sleep changes, and neuroendocrine alterations when administered into the brain. Here, we investigated the regulation of the IL-1beta system (ligand, receptors, receptor accessory protein, and receptor antagonist), tumor necrosis factor-alpoha (TNF-alpha), transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, and TGF-alpha mRNAs in the hypothalamus of obese (fa/fa) and lean (Fa/Fa) Zucker rats in response to the intracerebroventricular microinfusion of IL-1beta (8.0 ng/24 hr for 72 hr, a dose that yields estimated pathophysiological concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid). IL-1beta increased IL-1beta, IL-1 receptor types I and II (IL-1RI and IL-1RII), IL-1 receptor accessory protein soluble form (IL-1R AcP II), IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), TNF-alpha, and TGF-beta1 mRNAs in the hypothalamus from obese and lean rats. IL-1beta-induced IL-1beta system and ligand (IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and TGF-beta1) mRNA profiles were highly intercorrelated in the same samples. Levels of membrane-bound IL-1R AcP and TGF-alpha mRNAs did not change. Heat-inactivated IL-1beta had no effect. The data suggest 1) the operation of an IL-1beta feedback system (IL-1beta/IL-1RI/IL-1R Acp II/IL-1RII/IL-1Ra) and 2) potential cytokine-cytokine interactions with positive (IL-1beta <--> TNF-alpha) and negative (TGF-beta1 --> IL-1beta/TNF-alpha) feedback. Dysregulation of the IL-1beta feedback system and the TGF-beta1/IL-1beta-TNF-alpha balance may have implications for neurological disorders associated with high levels of IL-1beta in the brain.
