Autocrine Regulation of Interleukin-6 via the Activation of STAT3 and Akt in Cardiac Myxoma Cells
Plasma concentrations of a pleiotropic cytokine, interleukin (IL)-6, are increased in patients with cardiac myxoma. We investigated the regulation of IL-6 in cardiac myxoma. Immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed that IL-6 and its receptors...
