Abstract

Interleukin (IL)-6 family cytokines act through a receptor complex with gp130 subunits. IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates inflammation and liver regeneration. Mitochondria are the first to respond to stress and adapt their dynamics in conditions of damage. In this regard, the study aimed to investigate the role of the IL-6 cytokine family (sIL-6Ra, gp130/sIL-6Rb, and IL-11) in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics in the liver in obese patients and to assess the contribution of these cytokines to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We studied 134 obese patients with and without T2DM and 41 healthy donors. We found that increasing the concentration of sIL-6Ra and gp130/sIL-6Rb protected against carbohydrate disorders in obese patients and prevented non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression in obese patients. An increase in plasma IL-6 levels is associated with decreased, mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) protein production in liver biopsies in obese patients with and without T2DM. Replication, transcription, and division processes in liver biopsy were reduced in patients with T2DM. Inflammatory processes stimulate liver cell apoptosis in obese patients with T2DM. The increase in IL-11 levels is associated with decreased pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX) protein production in obese patients with and without T2DM.
