IL-8 released from human pancreatic cancer and tumor associated stromal cells signals through a CXCR2-ERK1/2 axis to induce muscle atrophy
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Serum levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) are increased in the serum of people with pancreatic cancer and associated with the loss of body weight and low muscle mass. We have identified that systemic (intraperitoneal) injection of IL-8 into mice induces significant skeletal muscle atrophy. Transcriptional profiling of muscle harvested from these same mice identified the genes and biological processes associated with this IL-8 induced atrophy including gene clusters related to chromatin modification, muscle cell differentiation, and ubiquitin ligase complex. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from the tibialis anterior muscle from vehicle-injected mice, KC-injected mice, and IL-8 injected mice. The purpose of this study was to identify the broader transcriptional networks changed in skeletal muscle in response to a systemic increase in IL-8 or KC.
