The hormetic and hermetic role of IL-6
Open accessAbstract
Interleukin-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine regulating different tissues and organs in diverse and sometimes discrepant ways. The dual and sometime hermetic nature of IL-6 action has been highlighted in several contexts and can be explained by the concept of hormesis, in which beneficial or toxic effects can be induced by the same molecule depending on the intensity, persistence, and nature of the stimulation. According with hormesis, a low and/or controlled IL-6 release is associated with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pro-myogenic actions, whereas increased systemic levels of IL-6 can induce pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant and pro-fibrotic responses. However, many aspects regarding the multifaceted action of IL-6 and the complex nature of its signal transduction remains to be fully elucidated. In this review we collect mechanistic insight into the molecular networks contributing to normal or pathologic changes during advancing age and in chronic diseases. We point out the involvement of IL-6 deregulation in aging-related diseases, dissecting the hormetic action of this key mediator in different tissues, with a special focus on skeletal muscle. Since IL-6 can act as an enhancer of detrimental factor associated with both aging and pathologic conditions, such as chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, this cytokine could represent a "Gerokine", a determinant of the switch from physiologic aging to age-related diseases.

During aging, inflammation, or other pathological conditions, especially in the liver, IL-6 levels are significantly increased and are crucial for the progression of inflammation, fibrosis and carcinogenesis.
“During aging, inflammation, or other pathological conditions, especially in the liver, IL-6 levels are significantly increased and are crucial for the progression of inflammation, fibrosis and carcinogenesis [1, 2].”
From The double-edged effects of IL-6 in liver regeneration, aging, inflammation, and diseases (2024) · cites this paper as [1]
Section 4 says IL-6 levels increase with advancing age and in concomitant pathologies. The Introduction says circulating levels rise significantly in diseases associated with inflammation and fibrosis, and describes how IL-6 signaling can sustain inflammation and lead to inflammation-related fibrosis. The paper does not establish that these effects occur especially in the liver or that IL-6 is crucial to carcinogenesis; section 3.1 only hypothesizes a role in sustaining cancer proliferation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
