  1. 1. Interleukin-6 as a mediator of insulin resistance

    Författare :Victoria Rotter Sopasakis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : A potential role of interleukin (IL)-6 for the metabolic abnormalities seen in obesity and insulinresistance was postulated when it was discovered that circulating IL-6 levels were elevated in obeseand insulin-resistant as well as type 2 diabetic individuals. Later it was shown that the adipose tissuewas a major site of IL-6 production, accounting for 15-35% of the total circulating levels. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Interleukin-6 Signaling Pathways in Human Vascular Endothelial Cells : Molecular Mechanisms and Associations to Atherosclerosis

    Författare :Mulugeta Melkie Zegeye; Liza Ljungberg; Allan Sirsjö; Ashok K Kumawat; Magnus Grenegård; Stefan Rose-John; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HUVECs; Angiogenesis; Laminins; Transmigration; Biomarker; Cytokine; Inflammation; Myocardial infarction;

    Sammanfattning : Interleukin-6 is pleotropic cytokine produced by several types of cells including endothelial cells (ECs). IL-6 acts on target cells via two major signaling mechanisms known as classic signaling and trans-signaling. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Inflammatory cytokines and NFκB in Alzheimer’s disease

    Författare :Linda Fisher; Kerstin Iverfeldt; Illana Gozes; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; β-amyloid; interleukin-1; interleukin-6; cell-penetrating peptide; PNA; Neurochemistry; Neurokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extracellular senile plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. The main constituent of the senile plaques is the neurotoxic β-amyloid peptide. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The impact of the progranulin-sortilin axis on breast cancer stem cell activity and patient outcome

    Författare :Karoline Berger; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; biomarker; cancer stem cells; microenvironment; progranulin; sortilin; interleukin-6; targeted therapy; prognostic;

    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Still today, despite current breast cancer therapies, many patients experience treatment resistance and relapse, which are believed to be due to failure in targeting treatment-resistant cancer stem cells. LÄS MER

  7. 5. A role of CD44 in atherosclerosis? Studies in mice and humans

    Författare :Sara Sjöberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :CD44; atherosclerosis; interleukin-6; T cell; mast cell;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease that can lead to clinical complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Expressed in both vascular and inflammatory cells, adhesion molecule CD44 can be cleaved from the cell surface, and soluble CD44 can be detected in blood. LÄS MER
