Abstract

The effect of interleukin-11 (IL-11) on transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) is controversial and has not been examined in renal diseases. In this study, we (i) characterised the up-regulation of TGF-ß1, phospho-p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK) and extracellular matrix during pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis and (ii) examined the effect of rhIL-11 on these processes in vivo.
