Soluble form of IL-6 receptor alpha (sIL-6R) is known to serve as an agonist, without exogenous IL-6, on endothelial cells which do not express IL-6R but have only IL-6 receptor beta chain, gp130. We investigated the effect of sIL-6R on fractalkine expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in culture. sIL-6R markedly inhibited HUVEC fractalkine/CX3CL1 expression induced by interleukin (IL)-1 alpha, tumor necrosis factor (TN-F)-alpha, or interferon (IFN)-gamma. IL-1 alpha -induced fractalkine expression was inhibited by sIL-6R in time- and concentration-dependent manners. The experiment using actinomycin D indicated that sIL-6R lowered the stability of fractalkine mRNA. The inhibitory effect of sIL-6R was reversed by anti-gp130 neutralizing antibody. sIL-6R inhibited adhesion of mononuclear cells (MNCs) to HUVEC monolayers stimulated with IFN-gamma, but it did not inhibit the adhesion to monolayers stimulated with IL-1 alpha. MNC chemotactic activity of conditioned medium of HUVEC stimulated with IL-1 alpha or IFN-gamma was inhibited by cotreatment with sIL-6R. sIL-6R may play a regulatory role in immune responses by modulating the interaction between leukocytes and the vascular endothelium.
