Transcription of Interleukin-8: How Altered Regulation Can Affect Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease
Biomolecules, 2015 Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a neutrophil chemokine that is encoded on the CXCL8 gene. Normally CXCL8 expression is repressed due to histone deacetylation, octamer-1 binding to the promoter and the inhibitory effect of nuclear factor-κB repressing factor (NRF)
