Molecular dissection of pro-fibrotic signaling identifies the mechanism underlying IL11-driven fibrosis gene translation, reveals non-specific effects of STAT3 and suggests a new mechanism of action for nintedanib

Abstract excerpt
In fibroblasts, TGFβ1 stimulates IL11 upregulation that leads to an autocrine loop of IL11-dependent pro-fibrotic protein translation. The signalling pathways downstream of IL11 are contentious and both STAT3 and ERK have been implicated. Here we show that TGFβ1- or IL11-induced ERK activation is consistently associated with fibrogenesis whereas STAT3 phosphorylation (pSTAT3) is unrelated to fibroblast activation...
