TL;DR
Interleukin 6 may play a central role in regulation of the growth of endometrial cells as a mediator of endocrine action and endometriotic cells may behave differently from their normal counterparts in terms of the inhibitory regulation exerted by interleuk in 6.

Interleukin 6 may play a central role in regulation of the growth of endometrial cells as a mediator of endocrine action. Endometriotic cells may behave differently from their normal counterparts in terms of the inhibitory regulation exerted by interleukin 6.

It is suggested that increased circulating or locally produced sIL-6R induces osteoclast formation in the presence of IL-6 mediated by a mechanism involving gp130, which may play an important physiological or pathological role in conditions associated with increased osteoclastic bone resorption.

Cytokines and growth factors are hormone-like molecules which are secreted by many different cells, mostly after stimulation, and play important regulatory roles in the control of the immune response, haematopoiesis, acute-phase response, inflammatory reactions, cell proliferation and tumour growth.

A hypothesis is formulated suggesting that endometriosis is associated with an increased influx of macrophage that are allowed to undergo further maturation-activation and the resultant population of large macrophages may contribute to the maintenance of the disease or associated infertility.

In vitro findings suggest that IL-6 alone hardly affects thyroid function in thyroid follicles in which IL- 6R gene is scarcely expressed, and sIL-6R inhibited thyroid function slightly at high concentrations, which are at least partly related to the development of sick euthyroid syndrome.

Serum sIL-6R in serum from pregnant women forms a complex with placental and decidual IL-6 in a manner similar to trophoblast membrane-bound IL- 6R, which might act cooperatively by binding to gp130 and subsequently evoking tyrosine kinase activity in the trophoblasts to produce hCG in vivo.
