mrIL-36α causes increased expression level of β-catenin and IL-6 and activates STAT3. A total of 50 μL of 1 ng/μL mrIL-36α dissolved in PBS or PBS only was injected intradermally into two separate dorsal regions of skin of 7-week-old mice for 3 days. (A,B) Total mRNA was isolated from mrIL-36α-injected region and control region, and mRNA levels of LEF1, Wnt5a, DKK1, LRP5, β-catenin (key genes in Wnt/β-catenin pathway) and IL-6 were analyzed by qPCR (n = 4). (C) The phosphorylation level of STAT3 in the IL-36α-treated region and the control region analyzed by western blot (*p < 0.05, n = 3).
