Abstract
Our results suggest that IL-6 induces utrophin expression in mdx myotubes through activation of a NRG-1/ErbBs signaling cascade. Soluble NRG-1 elicited by proteolytic processing of transmembrane NRG-1 might induce ErbBs phosphorylation and ERK1/2 pathway activation, leading to utrophin up-regulation.
