Cooperation Between Transcription Factor AP-1 and NF-kappa B in the Induction of Interleukin-8 in Human Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Cells by Hypoxia
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
The expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) has been shown to play an important role in the growth and metastasis of human pancreatic cancer. In the present study, we investigated the regulation of IL-8 gene expression by hypoxic environments. Exposure of the human pancreatic cancer cells COLO357 and FG to hypoxia in culture resulted in a time-dependent increase in steady-state levels of IL-8 mRNA and IL-8 protein...
