Activation of the signal transducer gp130 by interleukin-11 and interleukin-6 is mediated by similar molecular interactions.
The transmembrane glycoprotein gp130 is involved in many cytokine-mediated cellular responses and acts therein as the signal transducing receptor subunit. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-11 (IL-11), in complex with their specific alpha-receptors, homodimerize gp130 and, as a consequence, activate the Janus kinase (Jak)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signalling path...
متن کاملgp130, the cytokine common signal-transducer of interleukin-6 cytokine family, is downregulated in T cells in vivo by interleukin-6.
gp130 is a common signal-transducing receptor component for the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of cytokines. To investigate the expression of gp130 in T-cell subsets and its regulation, anti-murine gp130 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) was used for flow cytometric analysis. In normal mice, gp130 was differentially expressed in thymocyte and splenic T-cell subpopulations defined by CD4/CD8 expression. I...
متن کاملThe structure of the unliganded extracellular domain of the interleukin-6 signal transducer gp130 in solution.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays an important role in immune responses and signals via two different pathways. When IL-6 binds to its non-signalling membrane-bound receptor (IL-6R), a non-covalent dimer of the ubiquitous interleukin-6 signal transducer gp130 is recruited to initiate intracellular signalling cascades. This so-called classical signalling pathway is restricted to cells expressing the me...
متن کاملNeuroprotection by interleukin-6 is mediated by signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and antioxidative signaling in ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been shown to have a neuroprotective effect in brain ischemic injury. However, its molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective role of the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) by IL-6 in the reactive oxygen species defense system after transient focal cerebral ischemia (tFCI). METHODS IL-6 was injected i...
متن کاملSignal transduction of interleukin-11 and interleukin-6 α-receptors
The cytokines Interleukin (IL)-11 and IL-6 are important mediators that regulate differentiation and proliferation of immune cells. Both cytokines bind to unique non-signaling α-receptors (IL-11R and IL-6R, respectively), and the resulting cytokine/cytokine receptor complexes recruit a homodimer of the signal-transducing β-receptor glycoprotein (gp)130. Gp130 is expressed ubiquitously, whereas ...
