1 OBJECTIVE: This study was to investigate the effect of crocidolite fibers on IL-8 protein and mRNA levels in A549 cells cultured supernatant and the role of tyrosine kinase inhibitor PD98059 on IL-8 expression. 2-(2-amino-3-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: After incubating cells with 100 microg/ml of crocidolite, IL-8 protein releasing in supernatant was significantly increased and IL-8 mRNA was also higher than that of control, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05), however both IL-8 protein and mRNA was abrogated by pretreating cells with tyrosine kinase inhibitor PD98059. 2-(2-amino-3-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: IL-8 was shown as overexpression and could be decreased by PD98059. 2-(2-amino-3-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
