Abstract excerpt
The role of activator protein-1 (AP-1) in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced interleukin-8 (IL-8) gene expression was evaluated. We showed that TNF-alpha activates AP-1 in the transformed endothelial cell line ECV304 by transient transfections of IL-8 promoter construct pGL-3BF(2). Mutation of either the AP-1 site or the NF-IL-6 site on the IL-8 promoter suppressed the TNF-alpha-induced activation,...
