- Fibroblasts shift from resting to pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic states in sepsis-induced lung injury.
- IL-6/STAT3 signaling leads to impaired mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, increased ROS, and AP-1 activation in fibroblasts.
- Clinical glucocorticoids like dexamethasone and methylprednisolone reduce lung injury by inhibiting the IL-6/STAT3/OXPHOS/AP-1 pathway.
