STAT3 inhibition ameliorates renal interstitial inflammation in MRL/lpr mice with diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis by Jianfen Zhu, Yijing Chen, Yulan Chen, Yinqiu Lv, Tianxin Chen

“…MRL/lpr mice treated with vehicle, which can recapitulate renal damages of DPLN patients, showed upregulation of STAT3, pSTAT3 and caspase-1 in renal cortex. FLLL32 combined with methylprednisolone therapy significantly inhibited the STAT3 activation, improved acute kidney damage, reduced the interstitial infiltration of inflammatory cells and decreased the AKI incidence in MRL/lpr mice.Conclusion STAT3 activation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of DPLN and the development of AKI. …”
