1 ME3738 protects from concanavalin A-induced liver failure via an IL-6-dependent mechanism. ME3738 interleukin 6 Mus musculus
2 The protective effect of ME3738 prior to Con A injection was associated with a reduction in IL-6 serum levels and NF-kappaB DNA binding in liver nuclear extracts. ME3738 interleukin 6 Mus musculus
3 Further analysis showed that ME3738 induces IL-6 serum levels and activates STAT3 DNA binding and target gene transcription. ME3738 interleukin 6 Mus musculus
4 Therefore, we demonstrate that ME3738 triggers IL-6 expression, which activates pathways that are relevant to protect from Con A-induced liver failure. ME3738 interleukin 6 Mus musculus
