1 This study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of the commonly used steroids beclomethasone, budesonide and fluticasone in downregulating HASMC production of RANTES and IL-8. Budesonide C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
2 Pre-treatment with beclomethasone, budesonide or fluticasone reduced TNFalpha- and IL-1beta-stimulated IL-8 and RANTES release from HASMC in a dose dependent manner. Budesonide C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
3 TNFalpha- and IL-1beta-induced RANTES and IL-8 expression was reduced on the transcriptional level by pre-treatment with fluticasone and budesonide. Budesonide C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
4 The results suggest that the topical steroids fluticasone, budesonide and to a lesser extent beclomethasone may have beneficial effects on airway inflammation in asthma by reducing RANTES and IL-8-induced leukocyte infiltration into the airway wall. Budesonide C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
