Abstract: | Interleukin (IL)-8 serves as a major chemoattractant for neutrophils and has also been proposed to affect cancer progression. In the present study, we show that IGF-I stimulates IL-8 mRNA expression and IL-8 secretion in the leukemic cell line HL-60. Stimulation of IL-8 expression was completely attenuated by two inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK), which phosphorylates the MAPKs extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK)1 and ERK2, and by the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor SP600125. In contrast, inhibitors of p38 MAPK and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) did not abrogate the effect of IGF-I. We also show that IGF-I stimulates the activation of ERK1 and ERK2, but we could not detect any effect of IGF-I on the phosphorylation of p38, JNKp46 or JNKp54. Collectively, our results suggest that basal JNK activity and activation of the MEK–ERK pathway are required for upregulation of IL-8 by IGF-I in HL-60 cells. |
