Abstract excerpt
In recent studies, treatment with IL-1beta of cultured Caco-2 cells, a human intestinal epithelial cell line, resulted in transcriptional upregulation of IL-6 production. The role of C/EBP-beta and -delta in enterocyte IL-6 production is not known. Stimulation with IL-1beta of Caco-2 cells transiently transfected with a luciferase reporter plasmid containing a wild-type IL-6 promoter resulted in an approximately...
