Abstract excerpt
By inhibiting collagen synthesis, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) plays a key role in maintaining connective tissue homeostasis, but the mechanisms are not well-understood. In addition to intracellular signaling through the canonical JAK-STAT transduction pathway, IFN-gamma was recently shown to regulate gene expression via the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta) as well. Because C/EBPbeta is a crucial...
