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.

Long-term interleukin-6 levels and subsequent risk of coronary heart disease: Two new prospective studies and a systematic review [PDF]
Background The relevance to coronary heart disease (CHD) of cytokines that govern inflammatory cascades, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), may be underestimated because such mediators are short acting and prone to fluctuations.

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.

A common functional variant on the pro-inflammatory Interleukin-6 gene may modify the association between long-term PM10 exposure and diabetes [PDF]
Air pollutants have been linked to type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypothesized to act through inflammatory pathways and may induce interleukin-6 gene (IL6) in the airway epithelium. The cytokine interleukin-6 may impact on glucose homeostasis.

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
