Abstract
Interleukin-11 (IL-11), a stromal cell-derived cytokine, has been known to act widely in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic systems. IL-11 supports the growth of certain types of plasmacytoma and hybridoma cells, acts with interleukin-3 (IL-3) in shortening the Go period of early progenitors. IL-11 supports megakaryocyte colony formation and maturation, and acts as an autocrine growth factor in megakaryoblastic cell lines. In addition, IL-11 stimulates erythrocytopoiesis, enhances antigen-specific antibody responses, induces the synthesis of acute phase proteins, inhibits lipoprotein lipase activity and adipocyte differentiation, and promotes neuronal development. Administration of rhIL-11 to mice resulted in an increase of neutrophils and platelets. The human IL-11 gene is localized at 19q13.3-13.4, and codes 199 amino acids and 23 kDa with no N-glycosylation. Its receptor and signal transduction share partially those of interleukin-6 (IL-6). Further analysis of its role in normal and pathological state is necessary to determine the exact function and its application for clinical uses.Keywords
