Discovery and characterization of a monoclonal antibody targeting a conformational epitope of IL-6/IL-6Rα to inhibit IL-6/ IL-6Rα/gp130 hexameric signaling complex formation

mAbs, 2022
The functional interleukin 6 (IL-6) signaling complex is a hexameric structure composed of IL-6, IL-6Rα, and the signaling receptor gp130. There are three different modes of IL-6 signaling, classic signaling, trans-signaling, and trans-presentation ...

A designer hyper interleukin 11 (H11) is a biologically active cytokine

BMC Biotechnology, 2012
Background Interleukin 11 (IL-11) is a pleiotropic cytokine with anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory and hematopoietic potential. The IL-11 activity is determined by the expression of the IL-11R receptor alpha (IL-11Rα) and the signal transducing subunit β

The study of gp130/the inflammatory factors regulating osteoclast differentiation in rheumatoid arthritis

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immune disease characterized by synovitis and bone destruction. The osteoclasts play a critical role in pathologic bone loss during inflammatory arthritis.

Passive heat therapy is feasible but does not affect cardiometabolic health outcomes in persons with spinal cord injury – a pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive heat therapy can improve cardiometabolic health outcomes in some clinical populations, making it a potential therapeutic tool for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), who exhibit elevated cardiometabolic disease risk and face barriers to physical activity.

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

ART1 knockdown decreases the IL-6-induced proliferation of colorectal cancer cells

BMC Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a worldwide health concern. Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for CRC, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a pivotal role in this process.

Co-Inhibition of tGLI1 and GP130 Using FDA-Approved Ketoconazole and Bazedoxifene Is Synergistic Against the Growth and Metastasis of HER2-Enriched and Triple-Negative Breast Cancers

Cells
Breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) are resistant to most cancer therapeutics and contribute to tumor recurrence and metastasis. Two breast CSC-promoting transcription factors, truncated glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (tGLI1) and signal transducer and ...

Interleukin-6 and insulin-like growth factor-1 synergistically promote the progression of NSCLC

Autoimmunity, 2018
The signaling pathways of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) play an important role in the progression of lung cancer, and this study aimed to explore whether they can synergistically promote the progression of non-small cell ...

IL-6 Is Not Absolutely Essential for the Development of a TH17 Immune Response after an Aerosol Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37rv

Cells, 2020
Anti-inflammatory treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases often increases susceptibility to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). Since numerous chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases are mediated by interleukin (IL)-6-induced T helper (

From scarring to healing: Emerging regenerative therapies for pulmonary fibrosis using MSCs and exosomes

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
MSCs exert anti‐inflammatory, anti‐fibrotic and regenerative effects in pulmonary fibrosis. MSC‐derived exosomes reproduce many therapeutic benefits of parental MSCs. Preconditioning and genetic modification improve MSC therapeutic performance. Current preclinical and clinical evidence supports the translational potential of MSC‐based therapies ...
