应用
Interleukin-6has been used:
- to study IL-6 effects on lung cancer-derived mesenchymal stromalcells (MSCs) and to test the ability of statins to block these effects.
- toinvestigate the role of IL-6 in the development of coronary artery spasm (CAS).
- to study the effects of IL-6 on the bioactivity of therapeutic interferon (IFN)variants.
生化/生理作用
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a prototypic pleiotropic, pro-inflammatory cytokine that is expressed in response to injury, inflammation, and infection.(5) IL-6 triggers the activation of three distinct pathways: signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT-3), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (Erk1/2), and protein kinase b/protein kinase b-alpha (Akt). Consequently, this activation leads to the upregulation of numerous genes that impact essential cellular processes including survival, proliferation, differentiation, osteogenesis/osteolysis, angiogenesis, and immune modulation. It stimulates the production of acute-phase proteins by hepatocytes. IL-6 is also known to induce skeletal muscle protein breakdown. Induces growth and differentiation of B cells, T cells, and hepatocytes. Stimulates growth and inhibits constitutive, protein synthesis-independent apoptosis of murine B cell hybridoma 7TD1. IL-6 is also considered as a potential marker of adipocyte differentiation. Interleukin-6 is a protein produced by a variety of cell types including T-lymphocytes, monocytes, diploid fibroblasts, hepatocytes, cardiac myxomas, certain cervical cancer cells, bladder cell carcinomas, vascular endothelial cells, and human myelomas. It has a variety of biological effects and does not show a high degree of species specificity.

The traditional antiviral assays for the determination of interferon potency are reported to have considerable variability between and within assays. Although several reporter gene assays based on interferon-inducible promoter activities have been reported, data from comprehensive validation studies are lacking

STAT2 is the quintessential transcription factor for type 1 interferons (IFNs), where it functions as a heterodimer with STAT1. However, the human and murine STAT2-deficient phenotypes suggest important additional and currently unidentified type 1 IFN-independent activities. Here, we show that
