Interleukin 8 and cardiovascular disease
TLDR
In the scientific literature, there is sufficient evidence to support beyond any doubt the involvement of IL-8 in the establishment and preservation of the inflammatory micro-environment of the insulted vascular wall.Abstract:
Since the establishment of the inflammatory basis of atherosclerosis, several pro- or anti-inflammatory agents have been examined as potential mediators of the biochemical pathways of lesion formation. Interleukin (IL)-8 was first characterized in 1987. Since then, knowledge regarding its role in leucocyte trafficking and activation has advanced rapidly, especially in the field of cardiovascular disease. In the scientific literature, there is sufficient evidence to support beyond any doubt the involvement of IL-8 in the establishment and preservation of the inflammatory micro-environment of the insulted vascular wall. However, how the information derived from in vitro studies and animal models can be applied in clinical practice has yet to be determined. In the present review, the available evidence regarding the role of IL-8 in cardiovascular disease is presented, and future perspectives are discussed.read more

Inflammation and metabolic dysfunction: links to cardiovascular diseases
TL;DR: The most prominent link to cardiovascular disease was found for leptin, TNF-α, adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein, interleukins, and several novel adipokines such as lipocalin-2 and pigment epithelium-derived factor.

Roles of IL-8 in ocular inflammations: a review.
TL;DR: Interleukine-8 plays important roles in ocular inflammation and angiogenesis in conjunctiva, cornea, iris, retina, and orbit and anti-IL-8 targeted immunotherapy has been introduced as an important treatment modality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory biomarkers for predicting cardiovascular disease
TL;DR: Not all biomarkers are equal; the functions of many biomarkers overlap, some offer better prognostic information than others, and some are better suited to identify/predict the pathogenesis of particular cardiovascular events.
