    Elevated IL-6 levels are associated with severe pneumonia following allo-HSCT and correlate with disease progression.

  • 2

    IL-6 trans-signaling in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells contributes to acute lung injury in severe pneumonia.

  • 3

    Preventive IL-6 blockade in a mouse model reduces acute lung injury and improves survival rates.

  • 4

    The IL-6/sIL-6R/JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway plays a critical role in immune-mediated lung damage.

  • 5

    Targeting the IL-6 trans-signaling pathway may offer promising therapeutic strategies for severe pneumonia post-allo-HSCT.
