Peripheral administration of bacterial endotoxin, an immune stimulant, induces evidence of activation in vagal primary afferent neurons. To determine whether interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) is part of the molecular pathway leading to this activation, we assessed the expression of the neuronal activation marker c-Fos in vagal primary afferent neurons after intraperitoneal injections of IL-1 beta (2 mu g/kg). IL-1 beta, but not vehicle, induced c-Fos expression, demonstrating that IL-1 beta is likely an important signal from the immune system to the vagus nerve, and thus the brain.
