IL-1β priming triggers an adaptive stress response that enhances pancreatic β-cell resilience to subsequent cytotoxic inflammatory insult
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In this study, we explored the role of IL-1β-mediated hormesis in defending β-cells against dysfunction and death induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines (CYT). Preconditioning β-cells with physiological circulating levels of IL-1β (IL-1βlow) induced a resilient state, protecting them from CYT-induced cell death while preserving glucose-stimulated insulin secretion through hormesis. IL-1βlow-treated INS-1E cells reduced CYT-induced NO secretion by suppressing NF-κB signaling and decreasing iNOS expression, correlating with reduced β-cell death. IL-1βlow conditioning reduced ER stress and upregulated p-eIF2a in response to CYT, thereby enhancing the expression of ER chaperones and biomarkers linked to improved β-cell identity/functionality.
