Signal transduction of Interleukin-11 and Interleukin-6 ?-Receptors [PDF]
The cytokines Interleukin (IL)-11 and IL-6 are important mediators that regulate differentiation and proliferation of immune cells. Both cytokines bind to unique non-signaling ?-receptors (IL-11R and IL-6R, respectively), and the resulting cytokine ...

Publisher Summary Although it was assumed initially that the various activities found in conditioned media were solely produced by lymphocytes, this idea was broadened subsequently to allow for activities that are produced by nonlymphoid cells, and the term cytokine is now sometimes used.

Targeting interleukin-17 receptors
During the last decade, increasing evidence suggests a strong association between chronic inflammation and cancer development among different types of cancer. The dysregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines or their receptors is a common feature observed in many cancers [1]. Cancer cells take advantage of cytokine or cytokine receptor overexpression to

Interleukin‐24 and its receptors [PDF]
SummaryInterleukin 24 (IL‐24) is a new member of the IL‐10 family of cytokines and it signals through two heterodimeric receptors: IL‐20R1/IL‐20R2 and IL‐22R1/IL‐20R2. Upon binding to its receptors, IL‐24 induces rapid activation of Stat‐1 and Stat‐3 transcription factors, which appear to play a role in cell survival and proliferation.

Natriuretic peptide receptors on rat thymocytes: Inhibition of proliferation by atrial natriuretic peptide. [PDF]
Because the thymus expresses the natriuretic peptides (NP) as well as their respective receptors, an involvement of NP in the physiology of this organ has been suggested.
