  • Title: Hierarchical regulation of interleukin production: induction of interleukin 6 (IL-6) production from bone marrow cells and marrow stromal cells by interleukin 3 (IL-3).

    Journal: Leuk Res; 1991; 15(12):1125-31. PubMed ID: 1766260.
    Abstract:
    IL-3 stimulated the production of IL-6 from a bone marrow-adherent cell population, macrophages and from hemopoietic supportive stromal cell lines. It also induced IL-6 production from a stem cell-enriched population of bone marrow cells which did not produce IL-6 without stimulation. In contrast, stimulation with IL-6 of all the cell populations studied in the present experiments did not induce IL-3 production. These results indicate a hierarchical network in the regulation of interleukin production, and existence of a positive feedback mechanism; IL-3 induces IL-6 production which in turn stimulates stem cells into cycle and induces stem cells to respond to IL-3.
