1 Lycopene inhibits NF-kB-mediated IL-8 expression and changes redox and PPARgamma signalling in cigarette smoke-stimulated macrophages. Lycopene C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
2 The aim of this study was to investigate the role of lycopene on the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 induced by cigarette smoke and the possible mechanisms implicated. Lycopene C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
3 Lycopene pre-treatment resulted in a significant inhibition of CSE-induced IL-8 expression at both mRNA and protein levels. Lycopene C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
4 Taken together, our data indicate that lycopene prevented CSE-induced IL-8 production through a mechanism involving an inactivation of NF-kB. Lycopene C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
5 The ability of lycopene in inhibiting IL-8 production, NF-kB/p65 nuclear translocation, and redox signalling and in increasing PPARgamma expression was also found in isolated rat alveolar macrophages exposed to CSE. Lycopene C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
