Although the levels of oxidative and inflammatory markers varied following chemotherapy, trend indicates that IL-6 may be a potential marker of treatment response in NSCLC patients.
On this regard, concerns increase when doubts arise regarding the applicability of hyperthermia on NSCLC given the potential interaction of IL-6 with NSCLC.
Our results suggested that E2F1 activated SNHG3 and promoted cell proliferation and migration in NSCLC via transforming growth factor-β pathway and interleukin-6/janus-activated kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 pathway, which implied that SNHG3 may be a biomarker for the treatment of patients with NSCLC.
In the current study, EGFR, IL-6, and glycoprotein 130 (GP130) were highly expressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue samples and were associated with clinicopathological features and poor prognosis of patients with NSCLC.
Persistently activated IL-6/STAT3 pathway promotes acquired resistance to targeted therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. miR-206 has been verified to be dysregulated and plays as a negative regulator in lung cancer.
High levels of circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6) are associated with a poor prognosis in many types of cancer including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Comparing NSCLC PE and published plasma levels of CAR-T recipients, both were dominated by sIL-6Rα and IL-6 but NSCLC PE had more VEGF, FGF2 and TNFα, and less IL-2, IL-4, IL-13, IL-15, MIP1α and IFNγ.
We define for the first time, a regulatory relationship between TIMP-1 and IL-6 in NSCLCs, suggesting that the TIMP-1/IL6 axis may be a valuable prognostic biomarker.
This PG2-induced preferential pharmacologic up-regulation of tumoral M1 population in vitro positively correlated with the downregulation of tumor-promoting IL-6 and IL-10 expression in NSCLC cell-conditioned medium, with concomitant marked inhibition of cell proliferation, clonogenicity, and tumorsphere formation.
In this study, the potential role of TP in the proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of non‑small cell lung cancer cell lines was investigated and evaluated the impact of TP on the interleukin‑6 (IL‑6)/STAT3 axis.
46 NSCLC malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and 31 benign pleural effusion samples were quantitatively analyzed with Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for cytokines, such as IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8 and HMGB1.
The expression of IL-6, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) in serum of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (n = 138) was significantly higher compared to patients with benign pulmonary lesions (BPL) (n = 60) and was associated with the clinicopathological features of NSCLC patients.
Although IL-6 has attracted considerable attention, interleukin 11 (IL-11), another member of the IL-6 family, has long been overlooked, and little is known regarding its specific function in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Here, we evaluated the expression and biological effects of IL6 in NSCLC cells when treated with E2 and explored the underlying mechanism of IL6 in E2-promoted NSCLC progression.
We found that the expression of ERβ5, IL-6 and glycoprotein 130 (GP130) were significantly increased (P < 0.001) and the 5-year survival rate with the co-expression of ERβ5 and GP130 is significantly lower (P = 0.0315) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
Our study suggested that serum levels of HGF, IL-6 and VEGF and its dynamic change during TKI treatment could be used to predict the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs treatment in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC.
IL-6 was associated with a worse outcome in EGFR TKI-treated NSCLC patients, and β-blocker use was associated with lower IL-6 concentrations and improved benefit from EGFR inhibitors.
