2019-09-05
Abstract excerpt
Interleukin 11 (IL11) is a profibrotic cytokine, secreted by myofibroblasts and damaged epithelial cells. Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) also secrete IL11 under pathological conditions and express the IL11 receptor. Here we examined the effects of SMC-specific, conditional expression of murine IL11 in a transgenic mouse ( Il11 SMC ). Within days of transgene activation, Il11 SMC mice developed loose stools and progr...
