Molecular mechanism of interleukin-8 gene expression

Mukaida, Naofumi, Okamoto, Shu-ichi, Ishikawa, Yuji, Matsushima, Kouji·1994·Journal of Leukocyte Biology

Abstract

A potent leukocyte chemotactic and activating cytokine, interleukin-8 (IL-8), is produced by numerous types of cells in response to inflammatory stimuli. Accumulating evidence indicate that the transcription of IL-8 gene requires the activation of either the combination of NF-xB and AP-1 or that of NF-xB and NF-IL6, depending on the type of cells. Alternatively, the activation of NF-xB is indispensable for IL-8 gene activation in any types of cells examined. On the other hand, an immunosuppressant, FK506, and a glucocorticoid inhibit the gene transcription as well as the production of IL-8. Molecular analyses of IL-8 gene repression by these agents revealed that both affected the activity of the transcription factor(s) bound to the NF-xB site, albeit in different ways, thereby suppressing IL-8 gene transcription. Collectively, IL-8 production seems to be controlled mainly at the activation step of the transcription factor(s) bound to the NF-xB site. J. Leukoc. Biol. 56: 554–558; 1994.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
