Interleukin-6 promoter polymorphisms, chromatin remodelling and gene expression in a monocyte-derived macrophage model of inflammation

lnterleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells, T lymphocytes and adipocytes. IL-6 is regulated at the level of transcription. There are multiple regulatory elements in the IL-6 promoter. Three single nucleoti...
