Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is considered to be an early marker of severe sepsis that is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, we pretreated male ICR mice with IL-6 small interfering RNA (siRNA) before cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and observed the changes in their survival in response to down regulation of IL-6, as well as the role of Th subsets during sepsis. In addition, sham and CLP operated mice were sacrificed at different time points to determine the serum IL-6 levels during early and late sepsis. IL-6 siRNA pretreated septic mice showed markedly extended survival (23.3%) up to 10 days and significantly reduced serum IL-6 levels at day 5 (209.90 +/- 0.50 pg/ml; P
