Abstract:
Interleukin 6 (IL6) mediates pleiotropic physiological functions through its interaction with the IL6 receptor (IL6R). Signal transduction can occur via cis- and trans-signaling. The role of IL6/IL6R interaction via autocrine and paracrine loops in tumor proliferation and progression is discussed. The potential role of IL6/IL6R interaction in different experimental systems and tumor entities is summarized while the focus is on inhibition of IL6 signaling with monoclonal antibodies directed again...     »
