Schematic of SEB-mediated downregulation of Socs1 via miR-155. SEB exposure leads to the release of IFN-γ and subsequent expression of miR-155. miR-155-mediated suppression of Socs1 prevents appropriate control of IFN-γ, leading to cell proliferation and sustained cytokine signaling and damage to the lung.
