In this regard, recent studies have shown that inflammatory mediators such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and leukotriene B 4 delay apoptosis and prolong neutrophil survival in culture [ 3 4 ] . Neutrophils migrating into rodent lungs in response to LPS challenge have also been reported to exhibit delayed rates of apoptosis [ 5 6 ] . Similarly, increases in cytokine and growth factor activity, and reduced neutrophil apoptosis, have been described in various inflammatory lung diseases in humans including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia [ 3 7 8 ] .
The inducible chemokine receptors CCR1 and CXCR5 had labile mRNAs, whereas most of the inducible cytokine receptors (IL-2, IL-3, IL-6 receptor α chains) had relatively stable mRNAs.
Initial experiments delineated cytokine production by freshly isolated CD4 +CD45RO +T cells obtained from matching samples of RAPB and RASF.
Unexpectedly, the chemokine genes had much more stable mRNAs than the cytokine genes, even though they were strongly induced by PI treatment (Figure 5d).
Additional IL-2-responsive genes include those encoding 6 cell surface proteins, 11 cytokine and chemokine receptors, as well as 15 signal transduction mediators, 6 genes involved in cellular metabolism and biosynthesis, 3 cell cycle regulators and 12 transcription factors.
