IL1, Interleukin-1: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has long been known to be a key mediator of immunity and inflammation. Its dysregulation has been implicated in recent years in tumorigenesis and tumor progression, and its upregulation is thought to be associated with many tumors.

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune response and inflammation. It exists in two main forms: IL-1α and IL-1β, both of which are produced by various cell types, including macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells. IL-1 is involved in a wide range of biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.

IL-1 is often overexpressed in various cancers, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma. Its expression can be influenced by the tumor microenvironment and the presence of inflammatory cells.
Elevated levels of IL-1 are frequently associated with tumor progression and metastasis.

IL-1 is considered a pro-tumorigenic cytokine in many contexts. It can promote tumor growth by enhancing cell proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis. IL-1β, in particular, has been shown to stimulate the proliferation of cancer cells and promote the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis).
