IL action on blood-brain barrier may induce the expression of other inflammatory mediators produced by microglia and astroglia. For instance, the lack of IL-1R1 specifically in endothelial cells precluded the brain increase of IL-1[beta], TNF-[alpha], and IL-6 in stressed rats despite the presence of reactive microglia [59, 60], which places IL-1[beta] and its receptor on endothelial cells as central mediators of brain inflammatory responses.
