Molecular and cellular biology of interleukin-6 and its receptor.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a member of the family of cytokines collectively termed "the interleukin-6 type cytokines." Among its many functions, IL-6 plays an active role in immunology, bone metabolism, reproduction, arthritis, neoplasia, and aging. IL-6 expression is regulated by a variety of factors, including steroidal hormones, at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. IL-6 ...

متن کاملRevisiting the 1986 Molecular Cloning of Interleukin 6
We reported molecular cloning of B cell stimulatory factor-2 (BSF-2)/interleukin 6 (IL-6) in 1986 (1), the same year that IL-4 and IL-5 were cloned (2, 3). Prior to the publication of our article (1), it was known that antigenic stimulation induced growth and differentiation of B lymphocytes into antibody forming plasma cells with the help of T lymphocytes and this function of T lymphocytes cou...
متن کاملMolecular Pathophysiology of Stroke
Cerebral ischemia occurs when the amount of oxygen and other nutrients supplied by blood flow is insufficient to meet the metabolic demands of brain tissue. In ischemic stroke, the blood supply to the brain is disrupted by cerebrovascular disease. For decades, extensive research and clinical approaches to combat stroke have focused on the vascular aspects of cerebral ischemia. Therapeutic advan...
متن کاملWrestlers’ immune cells produce higher interleukin-6 and lower interleukin-12 and interleukin-13 in response toin vitro mitogen activation
Objective(s):Although recent investigations have shown chronic inflammation and inflammation-associated diseases might be ameliorated by exercise; little is known about the relation between exercise training with anti/pro-inflammatory cytokines. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted to compare interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-γ) le...
