IL (Interleukin), LPS (Lipopolysaccharides), MCP-1 (Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), MGBE (Mouse gallbladder epithelial cells), MIP-2 (Macrophage inflammatory protein-2), RANTES (Regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted), TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha).
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for MCP-1, IL-8, MIP-1β, and RANTES were purchased from R&D Systems, and transwell membranes (5 μm pore size in 24 wells) were purchased from Costar (Cambridge, MA).
The annealing period was 1 min for each PCR, and the temperature was 62°C for RANTES and 56°C for the other chemokines and β-actin.
The CXC chemokines such as IL-8 were originally identified as potent activators and chemoattractants for neutrophils, whereas the CC chemokines such as MCP-1 and RANTES mostly attract monocytes and eosinophils respectively [ 10 ] . Chemokines are secreted in a stimulus-and cell type-specific manner [ 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ] and are regulated primarily at the level of gene transcription [ 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ] . The transcriptional promoters of IL-8, RANTES and MCP-1 contain binding sites for the redox-responsive transcription factor NF-κB, which has been shown to be important for their regulation by viral infections and cytokines [ 18 20 23 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 ] .
Using cytokine/chemokine-specific primers with RT-PCR, untreated MGBE showed distinct bands representing mRNA of TNF-α, RANTES (Regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) (CCL5), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2/CXCL2) (Figure 1).
