Production of chemotactic factor, interleukin-8, from hepatocytes exposed to ethanol

Abstract: In a previous paper, we demonstrated proteinous chemotactic factors released from hepatocytes exposed to ethanol. In this study, we further characterized the chemotactic factors released from ethanol-treated hepatocytes. After fractionating the conditioned medium with gel chromatography, we demonstrated chemotactic activity at molecular weights of around 20 and 40 kD. When the conditioned medium was mixed with antiserum against interleukin-8, chemotactic activity was almost completely abolished. In addition, a… Show more

“…1640 medium at a density of 2 1 10 6 cells/mL, and chemotaxis was measured according to the methods of Onozaki et al 20 and Shiratori et al 9 In brief, the chemotactic activity of hepatocyte-and Kupffer cell-conditioned medium was measured in a modified chemotaxis chamber (Sanki Co., Tokyo, Japan) with a 5-mm membrane filter (Nucleopore, Pleasanton, CA). The conditioned medium was placed in the lower compartment and neutrophils were placed in the upper compartment, and the number of neutrophils migrating through a filter to the bottom glass of the lower compartment was counted under an inverted microscope after 3 hours of culture.…”

“…Shiratori et al [7] reported that a major portion of the chemotactic factors released from hépato cytes exposed to ethanol was IL-8. IL-8 is generated by a KARGER E-Mail kargcr(akarger.ch F ax+ 41 61 306 12 34 hitp:// www.karger.ch variety of immune and nonimmune cells, including mac rophages and monocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, hepatocytes and neutrophils [8][9][10][11][12], It is thought that hepatocyte production of IL-8 may be important in neu trophil-mediated inflammatory processes occurring via cell-to-cell interactions.…”
