Sensitization of dural afferents underlies migraine-related behavior following meningeal application of interleukin-6 (IL-6)
BACKGROUND Migraine headache is one of the most common neurological disorders, but the pathophysiology contributing to migraine is poorly understood. Intracranial interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels have been shown to be elevated during migraine attacks, suggesting that this cytokine may facilitate pain signaling from the meninges and contribute to the development of headache. METHODS Cutaneous allod...
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...
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...

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 کاملThe function of the soluble interleukin 6 (IL-6) receptor in vivo: sensitization of human soluble IL-6 receptor transgenic mice towards IL- 6 and prolongation of the plasma half-life of IL-6
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is considered an important mediator of acute inflammatory responses. Moreover, IL-6 functions as a differentiation and growth factor of hematopoietic precursor cells, B cells, T cells, keratinocytes, neuronal cells, osteoclasts, and endothelial cells. IL-6 exhibits its action via a receptor complex consisting of a specific IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) and a signal transducing subu...
