Glucose 68-75 C-type lectin domain containing 7A Homo sapiens 4-24 7505123-3 1993 We have investigated the effect of beta-glucans on the production of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and its naturally occurring inhibitor, the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). beta-Glucans 35-47 interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens 69-82 7505123-3 1993 We have investigated the effect of beta-glucans on the production of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and its naturally occurring inhibitor, the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). beta-Glucans 35-47 interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens 84-88 7505123-4 1993 Particulate beta-glucan induced IL-1Ra production from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) but did not stimulate IL-1 beta synthesis or gene expression in these same cells. beta-Glucans 12-23 interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Homo sapiens 32-38 7505123-6 1993 However, when preincubated with PBMC, monomeric beta-glucan significantly (P < .01) reduced particulate beta-glucan induction of IL-1Ra by 40%, suggesting that crosslinking of beta-glucan receptors is required for induction of IL-1Ra. PBMC 32-36 interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Homo sapiens 132-138 7505123-6 1993 However, when preincubated with PBMC, monomeric beta-glucan significantly (P < .01) reduced particulate beta-glucan induction of IL-1Ra by 40%, suggesting that crosslinking of beta-glucan receptors is required for induction of IL-1Ra. beta-Glucans 48-59 interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Homo sapiens 132-138 7505123-6 1993 However, when preincubated with PBMC, monomeric beta-glucan significantly (P < .01) reduced particulate beta-glucan induction of IL-1Ra by 40%, suggesting that crosslinking of beta-glucan receptors is required for induction of IL-1Ra. beta-Glucans 48-59 interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Homo sapiens 230-236 7505123-6 1993 However, when preincubated with PBMC, monomeric beta-glucan significantly (P < .01) reduced particulate beta-glucan induction of IL-1Ra by 40%, suggesting that crosslinking of beta-glucan receptors is required for induction of IL-1Ra. beta-Glucans 107-118 interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Homo sapiens 132-138 7505123-7 1993 In support of this, monomeric beta-glucan immobilized on plastic surfaces stimulated IL-1Ra production. beta-Glucans 30-41 interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Homo sapiens 85-91 7505123-8 1993 Vitamin D3, which increases the functional capacity of beta-glucan receptors, increased IL-1Ra production induced by particulate beta-glucan, whereas dexamethasone suppressed IL-1Ra synthesis. Cholecalciferol 0-10 interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Homo sapiens 88-94 7505123-8 1993 Vitamin D3, which increases the functional capacity of beta-glucan receptors, increased IL-1Ra production induced by particulate beta-glucan, whereas dexamethasone suppressed IL-1Ra synthesis. beta-Glucans 55-66 interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Homo sapiens 88-94 7505123-8 1993 Vitamin D3, which increases the functional capacity of beta-glucan receptors, increased IL-1Ra production induced by particulate beta-glucan, whereas dexamethasone suppressed IL-1Ra synthesis. Dexamethasone 150-163 interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Homo sapiens 175-181 7505123-9 1993 Because of their differential effects on cytokine production, beta-glucans may be used to therapeutic advantage in the diseases in which IL-1 is implicated. beta-Glucans 62-74 interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens 137-141
