Primary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Response of the Interleukin 8 Gene Cluster in Human Monocyte- and Macrophage-Like Cells

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide analysis of vitamin D receptor (VDR) binding sites in THP-1 human monocyte-like cells highlighted the interleukin 8 gene, also known as chemokine CXC motif ligand 8 (CXCL8). CXCL8 is a chemotactic cytokine with important functions during acute inflammation as well as in the context of various cancers. The nine genes of the CXCL cluster and the strong VDR binding site close to the CXCL8 gene are...
