Albrecht et al., Cell Signal 2007
:
Activation of NF-kappaB by IL-1beta blocks IL-6 induced sustained STAT3 activation and STAT3 dependent gene expression of the human gamma-fibrinogen gene ... Consequently, blocking NF-kappaB activation restores specifically late phase STAT3 activation as well as the induction of the human gamma-fibrinogen gene

IL-6 treatment and STAT3 activation both also induced fibrinogen in cultured C2C12 myotubes
