1 Melatonin suppresses acrolein-induced IL-8 production in human pulmonary fibroblasts. Melatonin C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
2 In this study, we investigated whether melatonin suppresses acrolein-induced IL-8 secretion in human pulmonary fibroblasts (HPFs). Melatonin C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
3 It was found that acrolein-induced IL-8 production was accompanied by increased levels of phosphorylation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) in HPFs, and that melatonin suppressed IL-8 production in HPFs. Melatonin C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
4 These results suggest that melatonin suppresses acrolein-induced IL-8 production via ERK1/2 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signal inhibition in HPFs. Melatonin C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
