IL 6 ( interleukin 6 ( interferon beta 2 ) )
Note: G/C polymorphism at nucleotide -174 (promoter region) Breast cancer prognosis differs between populations. Despite its lower incidence in Blacks when compared to Caucasians, mortality among the former is higher. Genetic factors involved in the molecular pathways regulating tumor development have been adduced to explain these differences, and it has been suggested that the IL-6 gene is a s...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 (IL-6) production by astrocytes: autocrine regulation by IL-6 and the soluble IL-6 receptor.
In the CNS, astrocytes are a major inducible source of interleukin-6 (IL-6). Although IL-6 has beneficial effects in the CNS because of its neurotrophic properties, its overexpression is generally detrimental, adding to the pathophysiology associated with CNS disorders. Many factors have been shown to induce IL-6 expression by astrocytes, particularly the cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (...
متن کاملThe Effect of Mg2+ and Mn2+ on Over-Production of Interleukin-2 in Recombinant E.coli
In order to increase the productivity of human interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a model protein in the recombinant E.coliBL21 (DE3), the effect of magnesium acetate and manganese acetate was studied based on full factorial design experiments magnesium acetate and manganese acetate and their interaction exhibited an increasing effect on IL-2 expression level upto 25.24%, 16.80% and 23.30%, respective...
متن کاملSpecial issue on Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
Cytokines are essential modulators of the immune response. In the last decade there has been a number of cytokines considered targets for the development of biological therapies with the goal of blocking their activities and modulate the course of the immune response, primarily in the context of inflammatory diseases. IL-6 was first identified in the mid-1980s [1], but for almost two decades th...
متن کاملCurcumin and Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
Curcumin has been shown to have numerous cytotoxic effects on cancer stem cells (CSCs). This is due to its suppression of the release of cytokines, particularly interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and IL-1, which stimulate CSCs, and also to its effects at multiple sites along CSC pathways, such as Wnt, Notch, Hedgehog and FAK. In spite of its multiple actions targeting CSCs, curcumin has little toxicity a...
