A link between the interleukin‐6/Stat3 anti‐apoptotic pathway and microRNA‐21 in preimplantation mouse embryos
12 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Signal transducers and activators of transcription-3 (Stat3) plays a central role in interleukin-6 (IL-6)-mediated cell proliferation by inhibiting apoptosis in a variety of cell types. MicroRNA-21 (miRNA-21), a ubiquitous miRNA, acts as an anti-apoptotic factor that seems to be indirectly but strictly linked to Stat3. In order to determine whether the IL-6 induced Stat3 anti-apoptosis pathway is linked with...
