Background: 

IL-6 is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine and is produced by T cells, macrophages, fibroblasts, osteoblasts, endothelial and other cells (1,2,3). IL-6 induces proliferation and differentiation and acts on B cells, T cells, thymocytes, and others. IL-6 is one of the most important mediators of fever and of the acute phase response. In the muscle and fatty tissue, IL-6 stimulates energy mobilization that leads to increased body temperature. IL-6 can be secreted by macrophages in response to specific microbial molecules, referred to as pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPS).  IL-6 in concert with TGFβ is important for developing Th17 responses. IL-6 binds to IL-6Rα that through association induces gp130 homodimerization (1). gp130 homodimerization triggers the Jak/STAT cascade and the SHP2/Erk Map kinase cascade (1,4,5). IL-6 also forms a complex with an IL-6Rα splice variant that is non-membrane associated (4). The IL-6/soluble IL-6Rα complex can then activate the gp130 signaling pathway on cells that express gp130 but not IL6Rα (4). IL-6 is relevant to many disease processes such as diabetes (6), atherosclerosis (7), depression (8), Alzheimer’s Disease (9), systemic lupus erythematosus (10), prostate cancer (11), breast cancer (12), and rheumatoid arthritis (13).
