pubmed:abstractText |
Interleukin-18 (IL-18)/interferon-gamma-inducing factor (IGIF) is a novel proinflammatory cytokine that can induce interferon gamma (IFN-gamma). In addition, IL-18 enhances intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression as well as Fas ligand (FasL) expression, and induces apoptosis in hepatic injury. The aim of this study was to clarify the potential role of IL-18 in the pathogenesis of the progressive inflammation and fibrosis in biliary atresia (BA).
