Methods：The crystallographic structure of AS-1 was examined by 1^H nuclear magnetic resonance. The toxicity of AS-1 was measured with Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） assay. The effect of AS-1 on phosphorylation state of p38 MAPK and IRAK-1 was observed with Western blot. Results：The crystallographic details of AS-1 demonstrated that it was a tri-peptide sequence[（F/Y）-（V/L/I）-（P/G）] of the IL-1R I -TIR domain BBloop. No toxicity of AS-1 was shown to HEK 293A cells. The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, induced by IL-1β significantly increased from those in the control group. AS-1 significantly reduced the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK induced by IL-1β. IL-1β increased the phosphorylation of IRAK-1 significantly, which was prevented by AS-1. Conclusion：AS-1 is a competitive mimic between IL-1R I-TIR and MyD88-TIR domain, which most likely interferes with MyD88-dependent signaling pathway.展开更多
