Association of Polymorphisms in the Interleukin 6 Receptor Complex with Obesity and Hyperandrogenism [PDF]
10 pages, 5 tables.Objective: Interleukin-6 (IL-6), is an inflammatory cytokine that may influence the pathogenesis of obesity and hyperandrogenism. IL-6 exerts its actions through a heterodimeric receptor consisting of two membrane-bound glycoproteins ...

Abstract This study characterized interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and derivative‐reactive oxygen metabolites (d‐ROMs) responses to moderate‐intensity exercise in healthy adults and assessed whether sex differences were due to workload. Fifteen males (26.5 ± 2.9 years, BMI: 23.7 ± 3.1) and 14 females (25.7 ± 2.8 years, BMI: 21.2 ± 1.8 in the menstrual phase (MP ...

p16Ink4a‐Positive Hepatocytes Drive Liver Fibrosis Through Activation of LIFR Family Pathway
This study found that, following the long‐term CCl4 treatment, p16high hepatocytes appeared in zone 3, spatially co‐localizing with fibrotic areas. A specific cluster of p16high hepatocytes upregulated CTF1/LIF expression which induced HSC activation and further liver fibrosis, as revealed by single cell transcriptomic analysis.

Transcytosis of IL-11 and Apical Redirection of gp130 Is Mediated by IL-11α Receptor
Interleukin (IL)-11 signaling is involved in various processes, including epithelial intestinal cell regeneration and embryo implantation. IL-11 signaling is initiated upon binding of IL-11 to IL-11R1 or IL-11R2, two IL-11α-receptor splice variants, and ...

Biomarkers of Lupus Nephritis Histopathology: Where Do We Stand?
Objective Lupus nephritis (LN) is characterized by a variable disease course, necessitating continuous monitoring. There is an urgent need to identify noninvasive biomarkers. By reviewing and critically assessing the quality of existing studies on LN biomarkers correlating with histopathology, we here explore the challenges in promoting their use in ...

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Represses GnRH Gene Expression via cFOS during Inflammation in Male Mice. [PDF]
BackgroundThe mechanisms whereby neuroinflammation negatively affects neuronal function in the hypothalamus are not clear. Our previous study determined that obesity-mediated chronic inflammation elicits sex-specific impairment in reproductive function ...

Oncostatin m is produced in adipose tissue and is regulated in conditions of obesity and type 2 diabetes [PDF]
CONTEXT: Adipose tissue is a highly active endocrine organ that secretes many factors that affect other tissues and whole-body metabolism. Adipocytes are responsive to several glycoprotein 130 (gp130) cytokines, some of which have been targeted as ...

The IL‐6/STAT3 axis is crucial in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) via Th17 differentiation. The IL‐6/STAT3 signaling pathway is downregulated as a result of the inhibition of IL‐6 and IL‐6R binding by NHA and NAD. NHA and NAD decrease the Th17 differentiation, which lessens the severity of CIA.

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) plus soluble CNTF receptor α increases cyclooxygenase-2 expression, PGErelease and interferon-γ-induced CD40 in murine microglia [PDF]
Background Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) has been regarded as a potent trophic factor for motor neurons. However, recent studies have shown that CNTF exerts effects on glial cells as well as neurons.
