Fennekohl et al., Hepatology 2000 (Acute-Phase Reaction) : In IL-6 treated hepatocytes PGE ( 2 ) in turn attenuated the IL-6 induced alpha(2)-macroglobulin formation via a cyclic adenosine monophosphate ( cAMP ) -dependent signal chain
Bode et al., J Immunol 2001 : The inhibitory effect of IL-1 beta on IL-6 induced alpha 2-macroglobulin expression is due to activation of NF-kappa B ... In this study, it is analyzed how IL-1beta inhibits IL-6 induced transcriptional activation of the alpha(2)-macroglobulin promoter ... Accordingly, cotransfection of the NF-kappaB subunits p50 or p65 themselves inhibited activation of the alpha(2)-macroglobulin promoter by IL-6 ... Most interestingly, at least one functional NF-kappaB consensus site is essential for the IL-6 induced transcriptional activation of the alpha(2)-macroglobulin promoter
Bode et al., Biol Chem 2001 (Carcinoma, Hepatocellular) : In this study we show that activation of p38MAPK by IL-6 acts as an inhibitory signal on IL-6 mediated activation of STAT and the alpha2-macroglobulin promoter
Kortylewski et al., J Biol Chem 2003 : The transient expression of constitutively active Akt inhibited the IL-6 dependent activity of the alpha(2)-macroglobulin promoter in HepG2 cells, whereas expression of an inactive mutant of phosphatidylinositol dependent kinase 1 had the opposite effect
Strauss et al., Lab Invest 1992 (Alzheimer Disease) : In cultured human cells of neurogenic origin ( SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells ), alpha 2-M synthesis could be strongly induced by the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) indicating that human alpha 2-M behaves as an acute-phase protein in the nervous system
Ganter et al., FEBS Lett 1991 (Alzheimer Disease...) : Cultured human neuronal ( SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma ) cells synthesize and secrete the potent protease inhibitor alpha 2-macroglobulin (a2M) upon stimulation with interleukin-6 (IL-6) indicating that alpha 2-macroglobulin behaves as an acute-phase protein in the human central nervous system
Brechner et al., Mol Biol Med 1991 : Transcription of the alpha 2-macroglobulin gene (alpha 2M) in rat hepatocytes is strongly induced during acute inflammations by interleukin 6 (IL6)
Kino et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol 2007 : TB-2-081 suppressed IL-6 induced mRNA expression of alpha1-acid glycoprotein, alpha2-macroglobulin , and beta-fibrinogen in and secretion of the C-reactive protein by rat primary hepatocytes
Kino et al., Eur J Clin Invest 2007 (Acute-Phase Reaction...) : The compound also suppressed interleukin-6 induced mRNA expression of alpha2-acid glycoprotein, beta-fibrinogen and alpha2-macroglobulin in and the secretion of C-reactive protein by rat primary hepatocytes
Toussaint et al., Toxicol In Vitro 1993 : LPS and IL-6 ( but only in the presence of hydrocortisone ) increased the secretion of alpha(2)-macroglobulin ( alpha(2)M ) in rat hepatocytes
Bauer et al., FEBS Lett 1985 : Murine interleukin 1 stimulates alpha 2-macroglobulin synthesis in rat hepatocyte primary cultures
Andus et al., Eur J Biochem 1988 : The stimulation of alpha 2-macroglobulin and cysteine proteinase inhibitor synthesis by interleukin-6 was inhibited by interleukin-1 beta in a dose dependent manner ... The inhibition of N-glycosylation by tunicamycin abolished the effect of interleukin-6 on the secretion of alpha 2-macroglobulin , indicating a possible role of interleukin-6 on N-glycosylation
Matsuda et al., J Immunol 1989 : alpha 2M did not inhibit IL-6 activity or its binding to homologous receptor
Kunz et al., Nucleic Acids Res 1989 : Deletion analyses have shown that the sequences between -852 and -777 as well as between -404 and -165 relative to the cap site, contain regulatory elements involved in the interleukin-6 dependent induction of the alpha 2-macroglobulin gene
Bereta et al., Int J Biochem 1989 : 3. Supernatants from rat peritoneal macrophages and IL-6/IFN-beta 2/BSF-2 obtained from four different laboratories similarly stimulated synthesis of fibrinogen, alpha 1-cysteine proteinase inhibitor and alpha 2-macroglobulin , as well as [ 14C ] -accumulation in cultured hepatocytes
Higuchi et al., Gene 1994 : These results strongly suggested that IL-6 and LIF are involved in alpha 2M induction in the brain, as in the case of the liver
Koj et al., Int J Biochem Cell Biol 1995 (Liver Neoplasms, Experimental) : HGF enhanced IL-6 induced synthesis of alpha-2-macroglobulin but reduced synthesis of C3 complement and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein
Warburton et al., FEBS Lett 1993 : Interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6 and transforming growth factor-beta synergize with hydrocortisone, increasing the synthesis of alpha 2-macroglobulin 2- to 4-fold, although they have no effect in the absence of hydrocortisone
Kawser et al., Clin Sci (Lond) 1998 (Disease Models, Animal...) : Stimulation of hepatic stellate cells with interleukin-6 at 5 days caused a significant increase in alpha2-macroglobulin expression as did exposure to Kupffer-cell conditioned medium
Guillonneau et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 1999 : Hepatocyte differentiation of WIF-B cells includes a high capacity of interleukin-6 mediated induction of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and alpha 2-macroglobulin
