Expression of the interleukin 6 receptor and interleukin 6 in prostate carcinoma cells.
We have probed for the presence of interleukin 6 (IL6) receptors in prostatic carcinoma cell lines (LNCaP, DU 145, and PC3) by examining their sensitivity to the cytotoxic effects of a chimeric toxin composed of IL6 and Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE). All three cell lines were killed by IL6-PE66(4)Glu, a version of IL6-PE in which the binding domain of native PE has been mutated to debilitate PE bin...
متن کاملThe Value of Interleukin-8 and Interleukin-6 in Cervical Secretions as Predictors of Preterm Delivery
Background and Objective: Preterm birth occurs in 8% to 11% of all pregnancies and is responsible for 75% to 80% of all neonatal deaths. Cytokines may be involved in the etiology of preterm birth through their stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis. Cytokines may be released intocervicovaginal fluid during the breakdown of the chorio-decidual adhesion or from an inflammatory reactio...
متن کاملDifferential expression and ligand-induced modulation of the human interleukin-6 receptor on interleukin-6-responsive cells.
The human interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) was differentially expressed on IL-6-dependent (U266 and SKO-007) and -independent (RPMI8226) myeloma cells as well as melanoma cells (A375-C6) that are growth-inhibited by IL-6. U266 and SKO-007 cells expressed four distinct IL-6R complexes (molecular masses of 100, 120, 145, and 165 kDa) as revealed by affinity cross-linking of iodinated IL-6. RPMI8226...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Serum Interleukin-6 Level and Chronic Urticaria
Background: The immunologic profile of chronic urticaria is not only important for diagnostic purposes, but also for therapeutic approaches. This study evaluated the serum levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) and Interferon-ϒ (IFN-ϒ) in patients with chronic urticaria to find a biomarker.Materials and Methods: Forty-one patients with chronic urticaria referring to the...
متن کاملPrenatal expression of interleukin 1beta and interleukin 6 in the rat pituitary gland.
It is known that interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) are expressed post-natally in normal and tumoral cells in the anterior pituitary, and that they play a role in both the liberation of different hormones and in the growth, proliferation and tumor formation of the pituitary gland. However, their expression and role during embryonic and fetal development remain unknown. We hav...
