Impairment of gingival fibroblast adherence by IL-6/sIL-6R.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) binds to human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) in the presence of a soluble form of IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R). We investigated the effects of IL-6 on the functions of HGF in the presence of sIL-6R. HGF changed their morphology from spindle-shaped to round, and detached from the culture dish by stimulation with IL-6/sIL-6R. In this condition, a signal transducer gp130 and a transcri...
متن کاملImmunoexpression of the CD30 ligand/CD30 and IL-6/IL-6R signals in thyroid autoimmune diseases.
To elucidate the role of Th2 cytokines in autoimmune thyroid diseases, we have studied by immunohistochemistry the expression of two Th2 ligand/receptor systems (CD30-L/CD30 and IL-6/IL-6R) in goitrous Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). A total number of 50 nodular goiters (NG), including 10 GD showing a lymphoid aggregate grade I, 30 HT 8 of which had a lymphoid aggregate o...
متن کاملNovel Small Molecules Disabling the IL-6/IL-6R/GP130 Heterohexamer Complex PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR:
The IL-6/GP130/STAT3 pathway is critical forthe progression of multiple types of cancers. We report here thediscovery of raloxifene and bazedoxifene as novel inhibitors of IL-6/GP130 protein−protein interactions (PPIs) using multipleligand simultaneous docking (MLSD) and drug repositioningapproaches. Multiple drug scaffolds were simultaneously dockedinto hot spots of GP1...
متن کاملPotential therapeutic implications of IL-6/IL-6R/gp130-targeting agents in breast cancer
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine with known multiple functions in immune regulation, inflammation, and oncogenesis. Binding of IL-6 to the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) induces homodimerization and recruitment of glycoprotein 130 (gp130), which leads to activation of downstream signaling. Emerging evidence suggests that high levels of IL-6 are correlated with poor prognosis in breast canc...
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...
