The biology of interleukin-6.
B CELLS ARE the only eukaryotic cells that are able to produce antibody molecules. Their growth and differentiation into antibody producing cells require the presence of T cells and macrophages; the function of these cells was found to be replaced by soluble factors. 3 In the early i980s it was shown that at least two different kinds of factors were required in the regulation of B cell response...
متن کامل-174 G>C polymorphism of interleukin 6 gene promoter affects interleukin 6 serum level in patients with colorectal cancer.
PURPOSE Experimental data suggest that interleukin 6 (IL-6) plays an important role in the development and progression of metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC), and -174 G>C polymorphism has been identified recently in the IL-6 gene promoter. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the significance of this type of polymorphism in patients with CRC. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Usi...
متن کاملHuman Cancer Biology Interleukin-6 Regulates Androgen Synthesis in Prostate Cancer Cells
Purpose: The standard systemic treatment for prostate cancer patients is androgen deprivation therapy. Although serum testosterone concentrations were significantly reduced after androgen deprivation therapy, levels of intraprostatic androgens are reproducibly measured at concentrations sufficient to activate androgen receptor and stimulate tumor growth, suggesting that prostate cancer cells ma...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 affects cell death escaping mechanisms acting on Bax-Ku70-Clusterin interactions in human colon cancer progression.
Activation of pro-survival pathways and apoptotic cell death escape are considered hallmarks of oncogenic cell transformation. Tissue microenvironment strongly influences tumorigenesis, redirecting some pathways versus a persisting pro-survival state. Here, we report evidence on the role of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in affecting pro-survival pathways in colon cancer progression, modulating the expre...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 biology is coordinated by membrane-bound and soluble receptors: role in inflammation and cancer.
Cytokine receptors, which exist in membrane-bound and soluble forms, bind their ligands with comparable affinity. Although most soluble receptors are antagonists and compete with their membrane-associated counterparts for the ligands, certain soluble receptors are agonists. In these cases, complexes of ligand and soluble receptor bind on target cells to second receptor subunits and initiate int...
