Overexpression of Il-6 in Bleomycin-Treated Balb/C Mice Provides a New Model of Lung Fibrosis: Transcriptomic Comparison to Human Ipf
2024-07-30
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a difficult to treat condition to treat with a high mortality rate. While preclinical models such as Bleomycin (Bleo)-induced fibrosis recapitulate some aspects of IPF, new models that more closely mimic the disease are warranted. We have developed and characterized a novel model in BALB/c mice using a transient overexpression of IL-6 combined with Bleo. This model’s transcri...
