The function of islet macrophages is poorly understood. They promote glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in lean mice, however, the underlying mechanism has remained unclear. We show that activation of the free fatty acid receptor FFAR4 on islet macrophages leads to interleukin-6 (IL-6) r...

IL-6 induces IL4ralpha expression in macrophages. This mechanism is necessary to promote macrophage polarization towards an M2-phenotype and is crucial to limit the inflammatory response both upon obesity and LPS-endotoxemia. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from primary muri...

The association between chronic inflammation and the development and progression of malignancy is exemplified in the biliary tract where persistent inflammation strongly predisposes to cholangiocarcinoma. The inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) enhances tumor growth in cholangiocarcinoma by a...

This study explores the biological role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a supplement during in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine oocytes, aiming to enhance embryonic development and reduce apoptosis following in vitro fertilization (IVF). The objective was to determine whether IL-6 supplementation alters...

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a proinflammatory cytokine that exerts a wide range of cellular, physiological and pathophysiological responses. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) antagonizes the cellular responsiveness to IL-6 through impairment in STAT3 activation and downstream signaling. Here, a transcr...

The pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1 (IL-1) and 6 (IL-6) are crucially involved in the regulation of a multitude of physiological processes, in particular coordinating the immune response upon bacterial infection and tissue injury. Both interleukins induce complex signalling cascades and tri...
We performed a biological and molecular characterization of the novel human multiple myeloma cell line CMA03/06, an IL-6-independent variant of CMA03 cell line previously established in our Institution. We showed that the CMA03/06 cells grows in the absence of IL-6 with a doubling time comparable t...

Profile of host response in C57BL6/J mice infected with A/Mexico/4108/2009 (H1N1), spanning days 1 through 6 post-infection. Focused analysis on the involvement of IL-6 in the host response. Total RNA obtained from lung tissue collected from infected C57BL6/J mice at t = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 days post-...

Ventricular myocytes were isolated from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-350g) by collagenase digestion. Cells were cultured with recombinant human interleukin 6 for six hours prior to isolation total RNA by RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). RNA was amplified and labelled using the Illumina TotalPrep R...

Changes in mouse liver mRNA profiles following intraperitoneal cytokine injection. Either interferon-gamma-/-, albumin-cre(-) Socs3(w/fl) mice, or albumin-cre(+) Socs3(-/fl) mice were injected with either phosphate-buffered saline, interferon-gamma, or interleukin-6, and livers taken after 4h.
