Interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by astrocytes: autocrine regulation by IL-6 and the soluble IL-6 receptor.
In the CNS, astrocytes are a major inducible source of interleukin-6 (IL-6). Although IL-6 has beneficial effects in the CNS because of its neurotrophic properties, its overexpression is generally detrimental, adding to the pathophysiology associated with CNS disorders. Many factors have been shown to induce IL-6 expression by astrocytes, particularly the cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (...
متن کاملProstate cancer cells (LNCaP) generated after long-term interleukin 6 (IL-6) treatment express IL-6 and acquire an IL-6 partially resistant phenotype.
PURPOSE The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) are frequently elevated in sera from patients with advanced prostate carcinoma. Our main objective was to investigate changes in responsiveness to IL-6 and/or androgen that occur in LNCaP cells after long-term treatment with IL-6. This in vitro model could be of clinical relevance because of its similarity with late-stage prostate carcinoma. EXPERIME...
متن کاملMAIL regulates human monocyte IL-6 production.
IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of disorders such as sepsis and cancer. We noted that human monocytes are excellent producers of IL-6 as compared with monocyte-derived macrophages. Because macrophages from molecule containing ankyrin repeats induced by LPS (MAIL) knockout animals have suppressed IL-6 production, we hypothesized that regulation of MAIL is key to IL-...
متن کاملChimeric molecule IL-6/soluble IL-6 receptor is a potent mitogen for fetal hepatocytes.
A novel recombinant molecule, termed IL-6c and consisting of a chimera of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and its soluble receptor is extremely potent in stimulating proliferation of hematopoietic progenitors. We investigated the effect of the IL-6c on the proliferation and differentiation of E14 fetal hepatocytes. IL-6c, in a dose-dependent manner, stimulated proliferation of E14 fetal rat hepatocytes. A...
متن کاملSerum soluble interleukin 6 (IL-6) receptor and IL-6/soluble IL-6 receptor complex in systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
By using a sandwich ELISA, soluble human IL-6 receptor (sIL-6 R) levels were measured in the sera of 20 healthy children and of 25 patients with systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). In patients with systemic JRA, serum sIL-6 R levels (114.6 +/- 37.7 ng/ml) were significantly lower (P < 0.01) than those of healthy children (161.2 +/- 45.5 ng/ml). Serum sIL-6 R levels were negatively cor...
