6-dependent activation of JAK/STAT3 signaling in specific subsets of neurons. Furthermore, MIA leads to changes in global transcriptional profiles in the brain, over 90% of which are abrogated in brains of offspring from poly(I:C)-injected IL-6 knockout mothers. These results support a key role for IL-6 in the placenta and fetal brain in shaping neural development and behavior in the MIA offspring.
