Journal ArticleDOI
Transcytosis and Surface Presentation of IL-8 by Venular Endothelial Cells
Jim Middleton,Stuart J. D. Neil,Jonathan Wintle,Ian Clark-Lewis,Moore Henrietta,Charles Lam,Manfred Auer,Elin Hub,Antal Rot +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown by electron microscopy that the prototype chemokine IL-8 is internalized by venular ECs abluminally and transcytosed to the luminal surface, indicating that the described subcellular interactions ofIL-8 with the ECs are functionally relevant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-8 stimulates calcium transients and promotes epidermal cell proliferation.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that IL-8 has a wider range of responsive target cells than hitherto thought and acts as an autocrine growth factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide regulates Th1 cell development through the inhibition of IL-12 synthesis by macrophages
Fang-Ping Huang,Wanda Niedbala,Xiao-Qing Wei,Damo Xu,Gui Jie Feng,John H. Robinson,Charles Lam,Fooyew Liew +7 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that NO can be an inhibitor of this feedback loop, preventing the excessive amplification of Th1 cells which are implicated in a range of immunopathologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase 4 Subtypes Are Differentially Expressed by Primary Keratinocytes and Human Epidermoid Cell Lines
TL;DR: Findings show that PDE 4 isogenes are expressed in keratinocytes to a different degree and that their expression can be modulated by intracellular levels of cAMP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective inhibition of interleukin-1β gene expression in activated RAW 264.7 macrophages by interferon-γ
TL;DR: It is suggested that IFN‐γ can be an important regulatory cytokine in a chronic inflammatory site and may explain its purported anti‐inflammatory effects in certain dermatological diseases.
