The chemotactic activity for granulocytes produced by virally infected fibroblasts is identical to monocyte‐derived interleukin 8

Abstract: So far, the role of fibroblasts in inflammatory processes has been underestimated. We have previously shown that stimulation of fibroblasts with viruses or bacteria results in a simultaneous production of several cytokines, including interferon-beta, interleukin (IL) 6 and colony-stimulating factors. We here report that virally infected fibroblasts produce also a chemotactic factor for granulocytes. The activity is inducible not only by measles virus but also by IL 1 beta and the double-stranded RNA poly(rI).p… Show more

“…The discrepancies to previous reports (23)(24)(25)(26) may be explained by the easy inducibility of the IL-8 gene. Even adherence (29) or detachment (30) of cells represent sufficient stimuli for IL-8 production.…”

“…46,47 IL-8 is produced by numerous cells including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages. 22,[48][49][50][51][52] In the present study, the levels of IL-8 expression and cardiomyocyte apoptosis peaked at the same stage (stage II), but the cardiomyocytes that underwent apoptosis showed no IL-8 expression. Furthermore, the number of CD68-positive macrophages peaked at the later stage of MI (stage III) and showed no IL-8 expression.…”

“…MT1-MMP is also known to participate in wound healing and is expressed by monocytes. IL-8, GRO-␣, and GRO-␥ belong to the subgroup of CXC chemokine family members that contain the ELR motif near the N terminus, which is essential for neutrophil chemotactic activity (34). MT1-MMP processing of IL-8 removes the first five residues, which is more active than the untruncated form.…”
