The Functional Role of an Interleukin 6-inducible CDK9·STAT3 Complex in Human γ-Fibrinogen Gene Expression
24 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an IL-6-inducible transcription factor that mediates the hepatic acute phase response (APR). Using gamma-fibrinogen (FBG) as a model of the APR, we investigated the requirement of an IL-6-inducible complex of STAT3 with cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) on gamma-FBG expression in HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells. IL-6 induces rapid nuclear translocation...
