IL-1 is a key proinflammatory driver of several autoimmune diseases including juvenile inflammatory arthritis, diseases with mutations in the NALP/cryopyrin complex and Crohns disease, and is genetically or clinically associated with many others. IL-1 is a pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine; however the mechanisms by which increased IL-1 signaling promotes autoreactive T cell activity are not clear. Here we show that autoimmune-prone NOD and IL-1 receptor antagonist-deficient C57BL/6 mice both produce high levels of IL-1, which drives autoreactive effector cell expansion. IL-1
drives proliferation and cytokine production by CD4+CD25+FoxP3 effector/memory T cells, attenuates CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cell function, and allows escape of CD4+CD25 autoreactive effectors from suppression. Thus, inflammation or constitutive overexpression of IL-1
in a genetically predisposed host can promote autoreactive effector T cell expansion and function, which attenuates the ability of regulatory T cells to maintain tolerance to self.
