Interleukin-6 induces cellular insulin resistance in hepatocytes.
Interleukin (IL)-6 is one of several proinflammatory cytokines that have been associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. A two- to threefold elevation of circulating IL-6 has been observed in these conditions. Nonetheless, little evidence supports a direct role for IL-6 in mediating insulin resistance. Here, we present data that IL-6 can inhibit insulin receptor (IR) signal transdu...
متن کاملThe role of interleukin-6 in lipopolysaccharide-induced fever by mechanisms independent of prostaglandin E2.
Fever has been shown to be elicited by prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) binding to its receptors on thermoregulatory neurons in the anterior hypothalamus. The signals that trigger PGE(2) production are thought to include proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6. However, although the presence of IL-6 is critical for fever, IL-6 by itself is not or only weakly pyrogenic. Here we examined the relations...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 mediates growth arrest in NFS-60 cells by down-regulating interleukin-6 receptor expression.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a potent myeloid mitogen, and the immunosuppressive prostanoid prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are elevated following thermal injury and sepsis. We have previously demonstrated that bone marrow myeloid commitment shifts toward monocytopoiesis and away from granulocytopoiesis during thermal injury and sepsis and that PGE2 plays a central role in this alteration. Here we investigate...
متن کاملThe regulation of aromatase activity in breast fibroblasts: the role of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin E2.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) or tumour necrosis factor a (TNFalpha) can regulate aromatase activity. In the present study we have compared their abilities to stimulate aromatase activity in fibroblasts derived from 'normal' breast adipose tissue proximal to a tumour or breast tumours. PGE2, TNFalpha and IL-6 plus its soluble receptor (IL-6sR) all increased...
متن کاملSelective neutralization of prostaglandin E2 blocks inflammation, hyperalgesia, and interleukin 6 production in vivo
The role of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the development of inflammatory symptoms and cytokine production was evaluated in vivo using a neutralizing anti-PGE2 monoclonal antibody 2B5. In carrageenan-induced paw inflammation, pretreatment of rats with 2B5 substantially prevented the development of tissue edema and hyperalgesia in affected paws. The antibody was shown to bind the majority of PGE2 p...
