Abstract
In human pancreatic myofibroblasts, interleukin (IL)-17 markedly enhances tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced IL-6 secretion through the induction of IL-6 mRNA stabilization. Induced stability of IL-6 mRNA was markedly decreased by the inhibitors of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERKs), PD98059 and U0216. This indicates that activation of the ERK pathway is involved in the induction of IL-6 mRNA stabilization by IL-17 plus TNF-alpha.Entities:
