Oncostatin M (OSM) is a member of the interleukin-6 cytokine family and regulates eg. gene activation, cell survival, proliferation and differentiation. OSM binds to a receptor complex consisting of the ubiquitously expressed signal transducer gp130 and ...

Summary: Blocking the activity of cytokines is an efficient strategy to combat inflammatory diseases. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) fulfills its pro-inflammatory properties via its soluble receptor (IL-6 trans-signaling).

Long Term Association of the Cytokine Receptor gp130 and the Janus Kinase Jak1 Revealed by FRAP Analysis [PDF]
Signal transduction through cytokine receptors is mediated mainly by non-covalently associated Jak tyrosine kinases. By confocal microscopy, the cytokine receptor gp130 and Jak1, fused with either yellow (YFP) or cyan (CFP) fluorescent protein, were found to be colocalized predominantly at intracellular vesicular structures and at the plasma membrane ...

Hemoglobin's α‐Helix‐to‐β‐Sheet Transition Enables Targeted mRNA Delivery to the Lung
Acidic heating converts hemoglobin into β‐sheet‐rich fibrils with positively charged surfaces. These hemoglobin fibrils electrostatically complex IL‐11 scFv mRNA, selectively bind circulating platelets, and hitchhike to the lung, where they are enriched in fibroblasts.

Background Retinal detachment (RD) can lead to proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a leading cause of intractable vision loss. PVR is associated with a cytokine storm involving common proinflammatory molecules like IL6, but little is known about the ...

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

Extracellular vesicles play pivotal roles in both healthy hematopoiesis and hematologic malignancies. They not only regulate hematopoietic stem cell fitness but also drive cancer progression and drug resistance. Their clinical potential spans from serving as non‐invasive biomarkers to acting as innovative therapeutic platforms and drug delivery ...

The Membrane Proximal Cytokine Receptor Domain of the Human Interleukin-6 Receptor Is Sufficient for Ligand Binding but Not for gp130 Association [PDF]
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) belongs to the family of the "four-helix bundle" cytokines. The extracellular parts of their receptors consist of several Ig- and fibronectin type III-like domains. Characteristic of these receptors is a cytokine-binding module consisting of two such fibronectin domains defined by a set of four conserved cysteines and a tryptophan ...

The metalloproteinase ADAM17 promotes acute lung inflammatory responses during pancreatitis
Background and Purpose Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a multifactorial upper gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder that in severe cases (~20% of all AP) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, the latter coincident with multiorgan dysfunction, particularly acute lung injury (ALI).

The cytokine receptor gp130 and its soluble form are under hormonal control in human endometrium and decidua [PDF]
The transmembrane protein gp130 plays a central role in cytokine action as a signal transducing receptor subunit common to all interleukin-6 type cytokines. Endometrial tissue obtained from women with a normal menstrual cycle and decidua obtained from women in the first or second trimester of pregnancy were assessed for gp130 by western blotting ...
