Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which interleukin-6 (IL-6) protects multiple myeloma (MM) plasma cells from apoptosis induced by anti-fas antibodies and dexamethasone was studied. Anti-apoptotic concentrations of IL-6 had no effect on cell-cycle distribution or activation of RAF-1 or ERK in dexamethasone- or anti-fas-treated 8226 and UCLA #1 MM cell lines. However, IL-6-dependent protection of viability correlated with an...
