The interleukin 1 (IL-1) system plays a central role in inflammation and immunity. Of the two receptors that bind IL-1, the type I receptor is known to mediate signaling activity, whereas the function of the type II receptor remains unknown. Here, Francesco Colotta and colleagues review the properties of these receptors and summarize evidence indicating that the type II receptor acts as a regulated decoy target for IL-1.
白细胞介素1(IL-1)系统在炎症和免疫中起核心作用。在与IL-1结合的两种受体中,已知I型受体介导信号传导活性,而II型受体的功能仍然未知。在这里,弗朗切斯科·科洛塔及其同事回顾了这些受体的特性,并总结了表明II型受体作为IL-1的调节性诱饵靶点的证据。
