Interleukin 6 and plasma cell neoplasias

Progress in Growth Factor Research
T Hirano, T Kishimoto

Abstract

Interleukin 6, an essential factor for B cells to differentiate to immunoglobulin-producing cells has been demonstrated to be involved in abnormal polyclonal plasmacytosis in cardiac myxoma. Castleman's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and AIDS. Furthermore, IL-6 was found to be a potent growth factor for both plasmacytoma and myeloma. The involvement of IL-6 in plasma cell abnormalities was further demonstrated by the generation of a lethal plasma cell growth in IL-6 transgenic mice. Continuous IL-6 gene expression could be considered to play an essential role in both polyclonal plasmacytosis and the generation of plasma cell neoplasias.

Castleman Disease

Castleman disease is a rare disorder that involves an overgrowth of cells in the lymph nodes. Unicentric Castleman disease affects one lymph node, usually in the chest or abdomen. Multicentric Castleman disease affects multiple lymph nodes, commonly located in the neck, collarbone, underarm and groin areas. Discover the latest research on Castleman disease here.
