The Blockade of IL6 Counterparts the Osmolar Stress-Induced Apoptosis in Human Conjunctival Epithelial Cells

Figure 3

Effect of IL6 on JAK-STAT signaling and apoptosis markers. (a) The factors of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and apoptosis markers in 500 mOsm and 500 mOsm with anti-IL6 were investigated by Western blot. JAK-STAT signaling was augmented in 500 mOsm and reduced in 500 mOsm with anti-IL6, and apoptosis markers also changed in similar pattern. (b) Those differences between 500 mOsm and 500 mOsm with anti-IL6 were statistically significant in the graph. , , .
