Résumé

The cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) signals via the IL-6 α-receptor (IL-6Rα or IL-6R) in complex with the gp130 β-receptor. Cell type restricted expression of the IL-6R limits the action of IL-6 mainly to hepatocytes and some immune cells. Here, we show that IL-6 also binds to the IL-11 α receptor (IL-11Rα or IL-11R) and induces signaling via IL-11R:gp130 complexes, albeit with a lower affinity compared to IL-11. Antagonistic antibodies directed against IL-11R, but not IL-6R, inhibit IL-6 signaling via IL-11R:gp130 receptor complexes. Notably, IL-11 did not cross-react with IL-6R. IL-11R has also been identified as an alternative α receptor for the CNTF/IL-6-derived chimeric cytokine IC7, which has recently been shown to induce weight loss in mice. Accordingly, the effects of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies against IL-6 or IL-6R, which both block IL-6 signaling, may be slightly different. These findings provide new insights into IL-6 signaling and therefore offer new potential therapeutic intervention options in the future.
