Eosinophilia in transgenic mice expressing interleukin 5
Experiments in vitro suggest that although interleukin 5 (IL-5) stimulates the late stages of eosinophil differentiation, other cytokines are required for the generation of eosinophil progenitor cells. In this study transgenic mice constitutively expressing the IL-5 gene were established using a genomic fragment of the IL-5 gene coupled to the dominant control region from the gene encoding huma...
متن کاملGeneration of plasmacytomas with the chromosomal translocation t(12;15) in interleukin 6 transgenic mice.
The mechanisms through which pristane or mineral oil can induce plasmacytomas in BALB/c or NZB mice are not fully understood, but involvement of interleukin 6 (IL-6), a growth factor for plasmacytomas and myelomas, has been strongly suggested. To clarify the role of IL-6 in plasmacytomagenesis, a human IL-6 cDNA was introduced into mouse germ lines under the transcriptional control of the murin...
متن کاملDevelopment of progressive kidney damage and myeloma kidney in interleukin-6 transgenic mice.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that has been postulated as playing a role in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma, chronic autoimmune diseases, and alcoholic liver cirrhosis. We generated transgenic mice carrying a fusion between the mouse metallothionein-I (MT-I) gene promoter and the human IL-6 cDNA. MT-I/IL-6 transgenics express IL-6 constitutively in the liver and secrete th...
متن کاملAll-trans-retinoic acid inhibits the development of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis in interleukin-6 transgenic mice.
All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), a vitamin A derivative, was reported to suppress the interleukin-6 (IL-6) production and to downregulate the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) and/or its signal transducer glycoprotein 130. We investigated the in vivo antinephritic effect of ATRA on IL-6 transgenic mice which had developed mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (PGN) as well as its in vitro inhibitory ef...
متن کاملReduced hippocampal neurogenesis in adult transgenic mice with chronic astrocytic production of interleukin-6.
Postnatal neurogenesis can be modulated after brain injury, but the role of the attendant expression of inflammatory mediators in such responses remains to be determined. Here we report that transgenically directed production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) by astroglia decreased overall neurogenesis by 63% in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of young adult transgenic mice. The proliferation, survival, an...
