We found that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) enhanced the expression of levels of serum amyloid A (SAA) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in HepG2. In addition, CGRP-induced SAA1/2 mRNA expression was blocked by an anti-IL-6 neutralizing antibody in HepG2. These results suggest that CGRP promotes SAA synthesis through activation of IL-6 in human hepatocytes.
