The physiological benefit of the febrile response is poorly understood. Here we show that fever-range thermal stress enhances the function of the L-selectin lymphocyte homing receptor through an interleukin-6 (IL-6)-dependent signaling mechanism. Thermal stimulation of L-selectin adhesion in vitro and in vivo is mediated by engagement of the gp130 signal-transducing chain by IL-6 and a soluble form of the IL-6 receptor-alpha (sIL-6Ralpha) binding subunit. Thermal control of adhesion is maintained in IL-6-deficient mice through a gp130-dependent compensatory mechanism mediated by IL-6-related cytokines (i.e., oncostatin M [OSM], leukemia inhibitory factor [LIF], and IL-11). Combined biochemical and pharmacological inhibitor (PD98059, U0126, SB203580, SP600125) approaches positioned MEK1/ERK1-2, but not p38 MAPK or JNK in the IL-6/sIL-6Ralpha signaling pathway upstream of activation of L-selectin/cytoskeletal interactions and L-selectin avidity/affinity. These results highlight a role for gp130-linked IL-6/sIL-6Ralpha transsignaling in amplifying lymphocyte trafficking during febrile inflammatory responses.
