1 Doxycycline decreases monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in human lung epithelial cells. Doxycycline C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
2 The authors hypothesized that doxycycline exerts its anti-inflammatory effects, in part, by reducing MCP-1 production. Doxycycline C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
3 In stimulated cells doxycycline decreased MCP-1 production by 95% and in monocyte chemotaxis assays migration decreased by 55%. Doxycycline C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
4 However, doxycycline did decrease expression of MCP-1 mRNA and did not effect its stability. Doxycycline C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
5 These data demonstrate that doxycycline modulates MCP-1 production and suggest that doxycycline may provide a new anti-inflammatory therapy for chronic lung diseases. Doxycycline C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
