Insulin-like growth factor-I-induced migration of melanoma cells is mediated by interleukin-8 induction.
Successive events of growth factor-induced autocrine and paracrine activation promote tumor growth and metastasis. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) stimulates melanoma cells to grow, survive, and migrate. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is produced by melanoma cells and has been correlated with melanoma metastasis, but the biological functions of this cytokine have not been elucidated. We show here th...
متن کاملNeutrophil-activating protein 1/interleukin 8 stimulates the binding activity of the leukocyte adhesion receptor CD11b/CD18 on human neutrophils
The cytokine NAP-1/IL-8 is produced by a variety of different cells in response to inflammatory stimuli and elicits several biological responses from PMN. Experiments presented here demonstrate that PMN exposed to NAP-1/IL-8 expressed increased amounts of CD11b/CD18, as well as CD11c/CD18 and CR1, on their cell surface, while expression of Fc gamma RIII and HLA-A,B,C remained essentially unchan...
متن کاملPlatelet-activating factor exerts mitogenic activity and stimulates expression of interleukin 6 and interleukin 8 in human lung fibroblasts via binding to its functional receptor
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent proinflammatory phospholipid mediator of the lung. In this study, we demonstrate that PAF receptor mRNA and protein is expressed by human lung fibroblasts. Interaction of PAF with its specific receptor resulted in increases of tyrosine phosphorylation of several intracellular proteins, indicating that the PAF-receptor might be functionally active. PA...
متن کاملRegulation of interleukin 8 expression in human malignant melanoma cells.
Here, we report the molecular regulation of interleukin (IL)-8 expression in human melanoma cells. The inflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) up-regulated IL-8 expression, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, in three metastatic melanoma variants, SBC-2 (nonmetastatic), A375P (low metastatic), and A375SM (high metastatic), by increased transcriptio...
متن کاملRetinoblastoma protein expression leads to reduced Oct-1 DNA binding activity and enhances interleukin-8 expression.
Tumor cell lines with a defective retinoblastoma gene are unable to transcribe the HLA class II genes in response to IFN-gamma treatment, and reconstitution of functional Rb rescues IFN-gamma-induced class II gene expression. However, the molecular mechanism of Rb rescue of the class II genes is unknown. We have examined the effect of Rb expression on the activation of the promoter for HLA-DRA,...
