1 Tetramethylpyrazine inhibits migration of SKOV3 human ovarian carcinoma cells and decreases the expression of interleukin-8 via the ERK1/2, p38 and AP-1 signaling pathways. tetramethylpyrazine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
2 The role of TMP in association with IL-8 in the tumor cell migratory process remains unclear. tetramethylpyrazine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
3 The purpose of the present study was to determine whether TMP influences the migratory ability of a human ovarian carcinoma cell line (SKOV3) via regulation of IL-8 expression in vitro. tetramethylpyrazine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
4 Cell counts showed that treatment of SKOV3 with TMP (25-100 microg/ml) for 24 h did not decrease cell numbers, while an effect of TMP on the down-regulation of the expression of IL-8 was observed. tetramethylpyrazine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
5 In addition, migration of SKOV3 cells was suppressed after treatment with TMP (25-100 microg/ml) for 24 h. Therefore, expression of IL-8 by SKOV3 cells correlates with their metastatic potential. tetramethylpyrazine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
6 Our data suggest that TMP may inhibit tumor cell invasion and migration, at least in part, through its down-regulation of IL-8 expression. tetramethylpyrazine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
