Interleukin-1 is a key mediator of inflammation, with pleiotropic effects on several cells and signaling pathways. The activity defined as IL-1 reflects the function of 2 molecules, IL-1a and IL-1β. IL1A encodes IL-1a, which is cell-bound, and IL1B encodes IL-1β, a secreted cytokine. IL-1a and IL-1β are synthesized as 31-kD precursors and are processed by proteases to their mature 17-kD forms. IL-1β-converting enzyme cleaves the inactive IL-1β Precursor and ProIL-1a is processed by calpain. IL-1β is a tumor-promoting cytokine, and it enhances tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. IL-1β is able to facilitate tumor progression in murine models of lung cancer. Upregulation of metastasis and tumor angiogenesis by IL-1β has been associated with increased activity of matrix metalloproteinases and expression of the pro-angiogenic molecule hepatocyte growth factor.
