Sustained stabilization of Interleukin-8 mRNA in human macrophages
1 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
The mRNAs of most inflammatory mediators are short-lived due to AU-rich elements (AREs) in their 3'-untranslated regions. AREs ensure a low basal level of expression during homeostasis and a transient nature of expression during the inflammatory response. Here, we report that the mRNA of the pro-inflammatory chemokine IL-8, which contains an archetypal ARE, is unexpectedly constitutively abundant and highly...
