The interleukin-6/interleukin-6-receptorsystem is activated in donor hearts
To assess the potential of the donor heart to respond to interleukin-6 (IL6), the present study investigated the expression of IL6 receptor components in the myocardium of donor hearts before transplantation.Donor heart dysfunction early after transplantation has been associated with the cytokine storm after donor brain death.

Modifying effect of a common polymorphism in the interleukin-6 promoter on the relationship between long-term exposure to traffic-related particulate matter and heart rate variability [PDF]
Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with an increase in many inflammatory markers, including interleukin 6 (IL6). Air pollution exposure has also been suggested to induce an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system (ANS), such as a ...

Immunological studies of chronic ocular toxoplasmosis : up-regulation of major histocompatibility complex class I and transforming growth factor beta and a protective role for interleukin-6 [PDF]
A murine model was used to characterize the local immune and inflammatory response during ocular toxoplasmosis. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, normally expressed at low levels in immune-privileged sites such as the eye, was up-regulated ...

Interleukin-6 gene (IL-6): a possible role in brain morphology in the healthy adult brain
Background: Cytokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) have been implicated in dual functions in neuropsychiatric disorders. Little is known about the genetic predisposition to neurodegenerative and neuroproliferative properties of cytokine genes.

Association of Interleukin 6 Gene Variant and Interleukin 6 level in Children with Congenital Heart Diseases: Single Center Case – Control Study [PDF]
Background: Etiology of most congenital heart diseases (CHDs) is multifactorial, they include genetic and environmental factors. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene variant rs1800795 was reported to be associated with CHD among Chinese children.
