title: Upregulation of interleukin-8 receptor in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils by formyl peptide and lipopolysaccharide.
abstract: Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is implicated in the pathogenesis of a large number of neutrophil-driven inflammatory diseases. Although the cytokine activates neutrophils through a receptor, no information is available regarding the regulation of IL-8 receptor (IL-8R) expression. The present study shows that, compared to control, the bacterial products--formylpeptide and LPS (serum-activated) upregulate IL-8 receptor by 54% and 115%, respectively, the former by degranulation of the secretory vesicle and the latter by de novo protein synthesis. The newly expressed IL-8R could be demonstrated with anti-IL-8R-antibody and by autoradiogram of the receptor crosslinked with [125I]IL-8. The study may be useful for understanding the potential role of IL-8 during neutrophil mediated inflammatory response.
