Other Information

**Key characteristics** * CXCL8 is a chemokine of the chemokine receptor family. * It is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 18 kDa. * It is expressed in a variety of cell types, including epithelial cells, immune cells, and stromal cells. * It is produced in response to various stimuli, including endoplasmic reticulum stress, cellular responses to stimuli, stress, and senescence. * It is a potent chemoattractant for neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells. **Pathways and functions** * CXCL8 binds to its receptor, CXCR6, which is expressed on various immune cells. * This binding triggers a signaling cascade that involves the activation of the transcription factor STAT3. * STAT3 then regulates the expression of a number of genes involved in inflammation, migration, and differentiation. * CXCL8 also plays a role in wound healing, where it promotes the migration of immune cells to the site of injury. **Clinical significance** * Mutations in the CXCL8 gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer. * CXCL8 is a potential therapeutic target for these diseases, as blocking its action can inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. * Clinical trials are currently underway to evaluate the use of CXCL8 inhibitors as a cancer treatment. **Additional information** * CXCL8 is a key cytokine in the immune system, and its overexpression is associated with various diseases. * It is a promising target for cancer immunotherapy due to its ability to promote the migration and survival of cancer cells. * Further research is needed to understand the role of CXCL8 in human health and disease.
