IL-6 and RasGRP1 have been shown to have important functions during inflammation and cancer. Here the authors propose the protein and mRNA of RasGRP1 have opposing functions by promoting IL-6 mediated acute inflammation and inhibiting inflammation-associated cancer through mRNA and protein mechanisms respectively.
