Abstract:
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine with complex and major roles in inflammation, which could be linked to the different ways IL-6 signals at the plasma membrane. In this issue of FEBS Journal, Woo and co-workers present evidence for the involvement of Eps15 homology domain-containing protein 1 (EHD1)-mediated lipid raft platforms, highly enriched in cholesterol, in the IL-6 signalling pathway. Because of the strong connection between IL-6, inflammation and cancer, one implication of this report is that agents or approaches targeting cholesterol-rich raft platforms may assist the development of novel strategies to treat inflammatory and malignant diseases.
