1 METHODS: H292 or primary bronchial epithelial cells were exposed to EGF or H2O2 to achieve ligand-dependent and ligand-independent EGFR activation; IL-8 mRNA was measured by real-time PCR and IL-8 and MIP-1alpha protein measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hydrogen Peroxide epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: Using H292 cells, EGF and H2O2 increased IL-8 gene expression and release and this was completely suppressed by the EGFR-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, AG1478, but only partially by dexamethasone. Hydrogen Peroxide epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens
