IL-6 Trans-Signaling via the Soluble IL-6 Receptor: Importance for the Pro-Inflammatory Activities of IL-6
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine with many activities. It has functions in the regulation of the immune system and the nervous system. Furthermore, IL-6 is involved in liver regeneration and in the metabolic control of the body. On target cells, IL-6 binds to an 80 kDa IL-6 receptor (IL-6R). The complex of IL-6 and IL-6R associates with a second protein, gp130, which thereupon dimerizes and i...
متن کاملIL-6 controls the innate immune response against Listeria monocytogenes via classical IL-6 signaling.
The cytokine IL-6 plays a protective role in immune responses against bacterial infections. However, the mechanisms of IL-6-mediated protection are only partially understood. IL-6 can signal via the IL-6R complex composed of membrane-bound IL-6Rα (mIL-6Rα) and gp130. Owing to the restricted expression of mIL-6Rα, classical IL-6 signaling occurs only in a limited number of cells such as hepatocy...
متن کاملIL-6 Trans-Signaling Drives Murine Crescentic GN.
The role of IL-6 signaling in renal diseases remains controversial, with data describing both anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory effects. IL-6 can act via classic signaling, engaging its two membrane receptors gp130 and IL-6 receptor (IL-6R). Alternatively, IL-6 trans-signaling requires soluble IL-6R (sIL-6R) to act on IL-6R-negative cells that express gp130. Here, we characterize the role o...
متن کاملBlockade of IL-6 Trans signaling attenuates pulmonary fibrosis.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal lung disease with progressive fibrosis and death within 2-3 y of diagnosis. IPF incidence and prevalence rates are increasing annually with few effective treatments available. Inhibition of IL-6 results in the attenuation of pulmonary fibrosis in mice. It is unclear whether this is due to blockade of classical signaling, mediated by membrane-bound...
متن کاملIL-6 trans-signaling via STAT3 directs T cell infiltration in acute inflammation.
Interleukin (IL)-6 signaling through its soluble receptor (IL-6 transsignaling) directs transition between innate and acquired immune responses by orchestrating the chemokine-directed attraction and apoptotic clearance of leukocytes. Through analysis of mononuclear cell infiltration in WT and IL-6-deficient mice during peritoneal inflammation, we now report that IL-6 selectively governs T cell ...
