Our study was undertaken to evaluate the important role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) trans-signaling in acetaminophen (AAP)-induced liver injury. A soluble gp130 protein (sgp130Fc) exclusively inhibits IL-6 trans-signaling, whereas an IL-6/soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) fusion protein (hyper-IL-6) mimics IL-6 trans-signaling. Using these tools, we investigated the role of IL-6 trans-signaling in AAP-induced liver injury. Blockade of IL-6 trans-signaling during AAP-induced liver injury remarkably increased the levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase; lowered the level of serum sIL-6R; aggravated liver injury; inhibited the expression of phosphorylation of STAT3 (pSTAT3), proliferating cell nuclear antigen, vascular endothelial growth factor, and glycogen synthesis; and induced the expression of Caspase3, cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), and hepatocyte apoptosis in the liver of mice. In summary, our study suggested that IL-6 trans-signaling plays important protective roles by regulating the hepatocyte proliferation and apoptosis, angiogenesis, CYP2E1 expression, and glycogen metabolism during AAP-induced liver injury in mice.
