Interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 increase levels of apolipoprotein B mRNA and decrease accumulation of its protein in culture medium of HepG2 cells

The purpose of the present study was to examine the regulation of levels of apolipoprotein B (apoB) mRNA and its protein by cytokines in HepG2 cells. A dose-dependent increase in apoB mRNA levels was observed in the presence of either interleukin-1β (IL-1β) or IL-6 alone. This increase occurred as e...
