The soluble interleukin 6 receptor: mechanisms of production and implications in disease
Abstract
Interleukin 6 (IL‐6) performs a prominent role during disease and has been described as both a pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokine. A key feature in the regulation of IL‐6 responses has been the identification of a soluble interleukin 6 receptor (sIL‐6R), which forms a ligand‐receptor complex with IL‐6 that is capable of stimulating a variety of cellular responses including proliferation, differentiation and activation of inflammatory processes. Elevated sIL‐6R levels have been documented in numerous clinical conditions indicating that its production is coordinated as part of a disease response. Thus, sIL‐6R has the potential to regulate both local and systemic IL‐6‐mediated events. This review will outline the central role of sIL‐6R in the coordination of IL‐6 responses. Details relating to the mechanisms of sIL‐6R production will be provided, while the potential significance of sIL‐6R during the development of clinical conditions will be emphasized. We want to convey, therefore, that when thinking about the inflammatory capability of IL‐6, it is essential to consider not only the action of IL‐6 itself, but also the effect sIL‐6R may have on cellular processes.—Jones, S.

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.
