A designer hyper interleukin 11 (H11) is a biologically active cytokine
BACKGROUND Interleukin 11 (IL-11) is a pleiotropic cytokine with anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory and hematopoietic potential. The IL-11 activity is determined by the expression of the IL-11R receptor alpha (IL-11Rα) and the signal transducing subunit β (gp130) on the cell membrane. A recombinant soluble form of the IL-11Rα (sIL-11Rα) in combination with IL-11 acts as an agonist on cells expre...
متن کاملDesigner Cytokine Hyper Interleukin 11 (H11) is a Megakaryopoietic Factor
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) displays megakaryopoietic activity. We constructed super-cytokine Hyper- IL11 (H11) by linking soluble IL-11 receptor α (sIL-11Rα) with IL-11, which directly targets β-receptor (gp130) signal transducing subunit. The effects of H11 on hematopoiesis with a focus on megakaryopoiesis were studied. The expansion, differentiation and type of colony formation of cord blood prog...
متن کاملEffects of Designer Hyper-Interleukin 11 (H11) on Hematopoiesis in Myelosuppressed Mice
The incidence of cancer is constantly increasing. Chemo/radiotherapy is one of major methods of treating cancer. Although adverse chemo/radiotherapy events, such as anemia and neutropenia, can be successfully cured, thrombocytopenia is still problematic. We constructed the Hyper-IL11 (H11) cytokine by linking soluble interleukin 11 receptor alpha (sIL-11Ralpha) with IL-11. In vivo H11 activity ...
متن کاملInterleukin-11: a new cytokine critical for osteoclast development.
Stromal cells of the bone marrow control the development of osteoclasts through the production of cytokines capable of promoting the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors. Moreover, the deregulated production of the cytokine IL-6 in the bone marrow mediates an increase in osteoclastogenesis after estrogen loss. IL-6, however, does not influence osteoclastogenesis in the...
متن کاملThe Interleukin-1α Precursor is Biologically Active and is Likely a Key Alarmin in the IL-1 Family of Cytokines
Among the 11 members of the IL-1 family cytokines, the precursors of IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-33 have relatively long N-terminal pro-sequences of approximately 100 amino acid residues prior to the N-terminus of the mature forms. Compared to the mature forms secreted from the cell, 80-90% of the primary translation product is in the intracellular compartment in the precursor form. However, the precu...
