摘要
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is critically involved in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PHX). Previous reports suggest that IL-6 trans-signaling through the soluble IL-6/IL-6R complex is involved in this process. However, the long-term contribution of IL-6 trans-signaling for liver regeneration after PHX is unknown. PHX-induced generation of the soluble IL-6R by ADAM (a disintegrin and metallo) proteases enables IL-6 trans-signaling, in which IL-6 forms an agonistic complex with the soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) to activate all cells expressing the signal-transducing receptor chain glycoprotein 130 (gp130). In contrast, without activation of ADAM proteases, IL-6 in complex with membrane-bound IL-6R and gp130 activates classic signaling. Here, we describe the generation of IL-6 trans-signaling mice, which exhibit boosted IL-6 trans-signaling and abrogated classic signaling by genetic conversion of all membrane-bound IL-6R into sIL-6R proteins phenocopying hyperactivation of ADAM-mediated shedding of IL-6R as single substrate. Importantly, although IL-6R deficient mice were strongly affected by PHX, survival and regeneration of IL-6 trans-signaling mice was indistinguishable from control mice, demonstrating that IL-6 trans-signaling fully compensates for disabled classic signaling in liver regeneration after PHX. Moreover, we monitored the long-term consequences of global IL-6 signaling inhibition versus IL-6 trans-signaling selective blockade after PHX by IL-6 monoclonal antibodies and soluble glycoprotein 130 as fragment crystallizable fusion, respectively. Both global IL-6 blockade and selective inhibition of IL-6 trans-signaling results in a strong decrease of overall survival after PHX, accompanied by decreased signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 phosphorylation and proliferation of hepatocytes. Mechanistically, IL-6 trans-signaling induces hepatocyte growth factor production by hepatic stellate cells. Conclusion: IL-6 trans-signaling, but not classic signaling, controls liver regeneration following PHX.
