Background:
IL1ra is secreted by various types of cells including immune cells, epithelial cells, and adipocytes, and is a natural inhibitor of the pro-inflammatory effect of IL1β (1). This protein binds non-productively to the cell surface interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R), and inhibits the activities of interleukin 1, alpha (IL1A) and interleukin 1, beta (IL1β), and modulates a variety of interleukin 1 related immune and inflammatory responses. This gene and five other closely related cytokine genes form a gene cluster spanning approximately 400 kb on chromosome 2. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported (2). A polymorphism of this gene is reported to be associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fractures and gastric cancer. Mutations in the IL1ra gene results in a rare disease called deficiency of the interleukin-1–receptor antagonist (DIRA). Variants of the IL1ra gene is also associated with risk of schizophrenia. Elevated levels of IL1RNra has been found in serum of schizophrenia patients. An interleukin 1 receptor antagonist is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease in which IL-1 plays a key role.
