1 BACKGROUND/AIMS: Histamine remains the main mediator of allergic conjunctivitis and induces interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 production in human conjunctival epithelial cells (HCEC). Histamine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
2 The purpose of the present study was to determine whether histamine induced IL-6 and IL-8 expression in HCEC, and to describe the relationship between human calcium-activated chloride channel (hCLCA) 1 activity and IL-6 and IL-8 expression. Histamine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: Histamine upregulated IL-6 and IL-8 expression and IL-6 and IL-8 secretion in a dose-dependent manner in HCEC. Histamine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
4 RESULTS: Histamine upregulated IL-6 and IL-8 expression and IL-6 and IL-8 secretion in a dose-dependent manner in HCEC. Histamine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
5 Niflumic acid (NFA), an hCLCA blocker, reduced histamine-induced IL-6 and IL-8 expression. Histamine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
6 CONCLUSION: Histamine-induced IL-6 and IL-8 production could be attenuated by NFA, an hCLCA blocker. Histamine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
