JAK-STAT1/3-induced expression of signal sequence-encoding proopiomelanocortin mRNA in lymphocytes reduces inflammatory pain in rats

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived beta-endorphin<sub>1-31</sub> from immune cells can inhibit inflammatory pain. Here we investigated cytokine signaling pathways regulating POMC gene expression and beta-endorphin product...
