Differential role of Jak‐STAT signaling in retinal degenerations
11 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Retinal degeneration is a major cause of severe visual impairment or blindness. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms is a prerequisite to develop therapeutic approaches for human patients. We show in three mouse models that induced and inherited retinal degeneration induces LIF and CLC as members of the interleukin (IL)-6 family of proteins, activates proteins of the Jak-STAT signaling pathway, and...
