In the present study we have focused our attention on the inflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL6), based on the evidence that it is highly expressed in DMD patients and in mdx mouse model and it also plays a major role in inducing the transition from an acute neutrophilic infiltrate to a chronic type mononuclear cell infiltrate (Gabay, 2006). Here, IL6 is linked to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
