Gene Summary

This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Distinct IL-1-alpha responsive enhancers promote acute and coordinated changes in chromatin topology in a hierarchical manner

This study investigated the effects of enhancers on chromatin remodeling and their cognate promoters during inflammation response. Of particular interest were two cytokine-induced factors on chromosome 4, IL-8 and IL-6. IL-8 controls secretion IL-8 and IL-6 factors, while also supporting sustained IL-1-alpha signaling to NF-kB and JNK/p38 MAP kinases. Our IL-8 and IL-6 probes, along with our chromosome 4 centromeric control probes, were used to detect extra copies of both genes in a tumor cell line.
