Interleukin (IL)-11 is a member of the gp130 family of cytokines. In contrast to IL-6 (another gp130 cytokine), IL-11 does not induce fever in humans. In the present study, the effect of recombinant human IL-11 (hrIL-11) injected intracerebroventricularly on body temperature of afebrile and febrile rats was studied. Results showed that: (i) hrIL-11 in doses of 5, 50 and 500 ng injected into the cerebral ventricles does not alter body temperature in rats; (ii) febrile response induced by intraperitoneal injection ofE. coliendotoxin (50 µg/kg) was initiated more rapidly in rats injected with 500 ng of hrIL-11 in the cerebral ventricles, and (iii) the enhancement of the initial phase of fever induced by hrIL-11 was not accompanied by changes in plasma concentrations of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). These results indicate that hrIL-11 is not pyrogenic when administered into the brain ventricles. The data obtained also demonstrate that central application of hrIL-11 alters body temperature in conditions of pyrogenic stimulation, but that this effect is not due to the alterations in plasma concentrations of IL-6 or TNF. These data suggest that during the development of the systemic inflammatory response, activation of gp130 subunit becomes effective in altering body temperature.
