IL-8 promotes proliferation and inhibition of apoptosis via STAT3/AKT/NF-κB pathway in prostate cancer

Abstract: Interleukin-8 (IL-8) possesses tumorigenic and proangiogenic properties, and is overexpressed in many human cancer types. However, only few studies have demonstrated the mechanisms of action of IL‑8 regarding the ability to promote proliferation and to inhibit apoptosis in prostate cancer. Here, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of IL‑8 on the prostate cancer cell line and determine possible mechanisms underlying its effect. In this study, IL‑8 was shown to be significantly upregulate… Show more

“…AKT is directly phosphorylated by PDK1 at T308, and forms an activation loop between SIN1, mTORC2 and p-AKT (T308), leading to the phosphorylation of AKT S473 by mTORC2 (30,31). In addition, it has been reported that STAT/AKT pathway inhibition could cause apoptosis in prostate cancer (32). In the present study, it was identified that p-AKT (T308) and p-STAT3 (Y703) decreased following exposure to 6 µg/ml EEIHL, indicating STAT3/AKT inhibition following EEIHL treatment.…”

“…Next, we investigated the biological function of this mitotic signaling pathway. Because IL-8 has been described to promote tumor cell survival 44,45,49,50 , we started by analyzing mitotic apoptosis in either control cells or cells, in which CXCL8 was silenced. Indeed, we observed a significant increase of mitotic apoptosis in CXCL8depleted cells (Fig.…”

“…Interleukin-6, -8, and -1β are well-identified cytokines to promote the STAT3 signaling pathway [57][58][59]. After TGF-β1 treatment in LX-2 cells, expressions of interleukin-6, -8, and -1β were significantly increased in the mRNA level; however, down-regulation of interleukins was not observed by C7A treatment (data not shown).…”
