1 Involvement of intracellular calcium mobilization in IL-8 activation in human retinal pigment epithelial cells. Calcium C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
2 The purpose of this study is to understand the molecular mechanisms by which calcium signaling controls IL-8 activation in human RPE cells. Calcium C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: Our study reported that intracellular calcium mobilization activated IL-8 gene expression and secretion. Calcium C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
4 Application of pharmacological inhibitor BAY 11-7082, siRNA, and plasmids of the nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappaB) binding site, we identified that NF-kappaB is the main transcription factor involved in intracellular calcium mobilization-mediated IL-8 activation in human RPE cells. Calcium C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, our findings highlight the important role of intracellular calcium mobilization in the activation of IL-8. Calcium C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
