1 Increasing intracellular calcium synergized both LPS- and Pam3CSK4-induced IL-1alpha protein production. Calcium interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens
2 Accordingly, blocking calcium signaling and calpain activity strongly suppressed IL-1alpha protein expression. Calcium interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens
3 This study improves understanding of the complex mechanisms regulating IL-1alpha protein expression in hRPE cells by demonstrating that TLR4 and TLR2 stimulation and exposure to IL-1beta, ER stress and intracellular calcium all induce hRPE cells to produce intracellular IL-1alpha, which is negatively regulated by the PI3K/Akt pathway. Calcium interleukin 1 alpha Homo sapiens
