MicroRNA-218 acts by repressing TNFR1-mediated activation of NF-κB, which is involved in MUC5AC hyper-production and inflammation in smoking-induced bronchiolitis of COPD.
Salmon and king crab trypsin stimulate interleukin-8 and matrix metalloproteinases via protease-activated receptor-2 in the skin keratinocytic HaCaT cell line.
Decreased FoxO3A in COPD cells was associated with increased phosphorylation of EGFR, Akt and FoxO3A and treatment with quercetin, LY294002 or erlotinib increased nuclear FoxO3A and decreased IL-8 and phosphorylation of Akt, EGFR and FoxO3A, Compared with control, elastase/LPS-exposed mice showed decreased nuclear FoxO3A, increased chemokines and phosphorylation of EGFR and Akt.
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) over-production and autocrine cell activation are key factors in monomethylarsonous acid [MMA(III)]-induced malignant transformation of urothelial cells.

We conclude that 1) colorectal carcinogenesis is accompanied by increased synthesis and release of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-8; 2) simvastatin therapy results in a decrease in serum level of proinflammatory cytokines, especially IL-6 in CRC and 3) simvastatin inhibits release of IL-8 and IL-6 from colorectal cell lines.
