D-dopachrome tautomerase promotes IL-6 expression and inhibits adipogenesis in preadipocytes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in the MEFV gene. Mutations in exon 10 are associated with typical FMF phenotypes, and patients with exon 10 mutations have higher serum levels of interleukin (IL)-18 both during attacks and afebrile phases, compared to tho...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Fibrosis is attributed to dysregulation of tissue-remodeling. In remodeling areas, fibroblasts and macrophages actively make contact with each other. Osteopontin (OPN) is a pro-fibrotic molecule, whose expression is upregulated by interleukin (IL)-1β via secretion of its downstream cytokines, such as IL-6. H...
