Effects of odorants on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-6 receptor mRNA expression in rat hypothalamus after restraint stress.
We recently reported that stress alters interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) mRNA levels in the hypothalamus. Odorants are reported to exert anti-stress effects. The aim of our study was to determine the effects of odorants on IL-6 and IL-6R mRNA expression in the hypothalamus, using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and on serum levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH...
متن کاملExpression of the interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-6 receptor, and gp130 genes in acute leukemia.
Expression patterns of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-6 receptor (IL-6R), and gp130 genes in 39 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), in 23 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and in 7 patients with acute mixed lineage leukemia (AMLL) were studied by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Significant levels of IL-6 were expressed in 8 (21%) of 39 AML patient...
متن کاملInvestigation of the relation between the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, IL-6 and hyperalgesia during chronic inflammation due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in male rats.
Introduction: The activity of Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is increased following inflammation due to its closed relation with immune system. This axis indicates an increased secretion of ACTH, and corticosterone during acute inflammation while little is known about its activity during chronic inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study we measured the products...
متن کاملCOMMENTS Circadian Relationships between Interleukin (IL)-6 and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Hormones: Failure of IL-6 to Cause Sustained Hypercortisolism in Patients with Early Untreated Rheumatoid Arthritis
Systemic symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are mediated, at least in part, by elevated levels of circulating interleukin (IL)-6, and this cytokine is also a potent stimulus of the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis. To evaluate the 24-h circadian secretory dynamics of ACTH, cortisol, and IL-6 and their interactions in patients with early untreated RA, we recruited and studied five newly dia...
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...
