Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-6 is a potent thrombopoietic factor in vivo in mice.
Toshiyuki Ishibashi,Hideo Kimura,Yayoi Shikama,Tatsumi Uchida,Shigeo Kariyone,Toshio Hirano,Tadamitsu Kishimoto,Fumihiko Takatsuki,Yukio Akiyama +8 more
TL;DR: Interleukin-6 acts on maturational stages in megakaryocytopoiesis and promotes platelet production in vivo in mice, suggesting that IL-6 functions as thrombopoietin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Combretastatin Analogues Effective against Murine Solid Tumors: Design and Structure−Activity Relationships
Koji Ohsumi,Ryusuke Nakagawa,Yumiko Fukuda,Toshihiro Hatanaka,Yoshihiro Morinaga,Yukio Nihei,Kazuo Ohishi,Yasuyo Suga,Yukio Akiyama,Takashi Tsuji +9 more
TL;DR: A series of combretastatin A-4 analogues synthesized with an amino moiety in place of the phenolic OH of CA-4 showed potent antitubulin activity and cytotoxicity against murine Colon 26 adenocarcinoma in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syntheses and antitumor activity of cis-restricted combretastatins: 5-Membered heterocyclic analogues
Koji Ohsumi,Toshihiro Hatanaka,Koichi Fujita,Ryusuke Nakagawa,Yumiko Fukuda,Yukio Nihei,Yasuyo Suga,Yoshihiro Morinaga,Yukio Akiyama,Takashi Tsuji +9 more
TL;DR: A series of cis-restricted combretastatin analogues with 5-membered heterocycles were synthesized and their inhibitory activity against microtubule assembly and cytotoxic activity against the colon 26 adenocarcinoma cancer cell line were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombinant human interleukin 6 (B-cell stimulatory factor 2) is a potent inducer of differentiation of mouse myeloid leukemia cells (M1).
Chisato Miyaura,Kikuo Onozaki,Yukio Akiyama,Tadayoshi Taniyama,Toshio Hirano,Tadamitsu Kishimoto,Tatsuo Suda +6 more
TL;DR: Recombinant human interleukin 6 (IL‐6), a lymphokine involved in the final differentiation of activated B‐cells into antibody‐forming cells, greatly suppressed proliferation and induced differentiation of murine myeloid leukemia cells (M1) into mature macrophage‐like cells.
Journal Article
Human recombinant IL-6/B cell stimulatory factor 2 augments murine antigen-specific antibody responses in vitro and in vivo.
Fumihiko Takatsuki,Akira Okano,Chieko Suzuki,R Chieda,Y. Takahara,Toshio Hirano,Tadamitsu Kishimoto,Junji Hamuro,Yukio Akiyama +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of human rIL-6/B cell stimulatory factor 2 on the primary and anamnestic plaque-forming cells response to SRBC were examined in vitro and in vivo.
