Abstract excerpt
Preclinical studies suggest interleukin (IL)-1α/β is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, recent trials of anti-IL-1 therapies showed limited benefit for COPD. To clarify, we primarily examined total and direct effects of IL-1 and its receptors/coreceptors/receptor antagonists (IL-1/IL-1Rs) on airflow obstruction (AO) using Mendelian randomization (MR), and...
