Abstract

The influence of interleukin-6 (Il-6) on human erythropoietic progenitors growth in vitro was evaluated. It was found Il-6 causes approximately 35% inhibition of early BFU-E growth stimulated with erythropoietin, kit ligand and interleukin-3, Il-6 did not inhibit erythroid colony formation by late BFU-E and CFU-E progenitors. This data suggests the role Il-6 as one of inflammatory cytokines in pathogenesis of anemia of chronic disease acting inhibitory at early BFU-E erythroid progenitors level.
