Abstract
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) mRNA was rapidly, but not permanently, induced at high levels by phorbol-12myristate-13acetate (PMA) in HL60 cells. Ongoing protein synthesis does not seem to be required for the initial induction of IL-8 gene expression. However, the rate of transient induction kinetics was modulated by cycloheximide (CHX) indicating that secondary response genes are involved in the regulation of IL-8 RNA levels. Repression of the induced IL-8 mRNA by 21 h PMA-treatment was due to reduced transcriptional activity of the gene. In HL60 cells stimulated for 1.5 and 21 h the half-lives of the IL-8 transcripts were markedly increased, suggesting the presence of negatively-acting transcriptional regulator(s).
