ALG1 — IL6
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Penkowa et al., Glia 1999
(Brain Injuries) :
The opposing
effect of
IL-6 on
MT-I+II and MT-III levels in the damaged brain suggests MT isoform-specific functions
Daffada et al., FEBS Lett 1999
:
We found that IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and
IL-6 increased both
metallothionein-1 (MT-1) and metallothionein-2 (MT-2) mRNA in HepG2 cells ...
IL-6 induced only low levels of both
MT-1 and MT-2 mRNA
Penkowa et al., Glia 2000
(Brain Injuries...) :
The changes in neuronal tissue damage and in brain regeneration observed in IL-6KO mice are likely caused by the
IL-6 dependent decrease in
MT-I+II expression, indicating IL-6 and MT-I+II as neuroprotective factors during brain injury
Okumura et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 2011
:
Interleukin-6 , which
induces MT-I transcription independently of MTF-1, did not reduce histone H3 levels in the promoter
Sato et al., Int J Immunopharmacol 1994
:
MT-I was also
induced in lung and heart by TNF, but little by
IL-6
Sato et al., Int J Immunopharmacol 1996
:
This suggests a synergistic
effect of
IL-6 and Dex on
MT-I synthesis in the heart
Hernández et al., Neurochem Int 1998
(Brain Injuries...) :
The results suggest that IL-1 and
IL-6 are important regulators of brain MT-I+II and that these cytokines could
mediate MT-I+II induction after an immunological insult
Carrasco et al., Brain Res Mol Brain Res 1998
:
In contrast to LPS, brain
MT-I induction by restraint stress was not
affected significantly by
IL-6 or TNFR1 deficiencies, suggesting that these cytokines are not important during the stress response in the brain
Carrasco et al., Exp Neurol 1998
:
The
effect of
interleukin-6 (IL-6) on
metallothionein-I (MT-I) and MT-III expression in the brain has been studied in transgenic mice expressing IL-6 under the regulatory control of the glial fibrillary acidic protein gene promoter ( GFAP-IL6 mice ), which develop chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease
Lee et al., Biochem J 1999
:
This study suggests that the effects of LPS on hepatic
MT-I gene expression are
mediated by
IL-6 and involve the activation of STAT binding to the proximal promoter
