Product Information

Gene Information

Cat. No.	SHH319113
Description	The SureSilencing trade; shRNA Plasmids are designed to specifically knock down the expression of individual genes by RNA interference under either transient (with GFP) or stable transfection (for hygromycin, neomycin or puromycin-resistance) conditions after performance of the appropriate enrichment or selection procedures, respectively. Each vector contains the shRNA under control of the U1 promoter and either the GFP gene, for the enrichment of transiently transfected cells, or the neomycin or puromycin resistance genes, for the selection of stably transfected cells.
Gene Abbr	IL8
Species	Rat
Report Gene	GFP
Storage	The SureSilencing shRNA Plasmids are shipped on dry ice or cold packs. Store all tubes at -20°C.

Target Gene

CXCL8

Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the CXC chemokine family and is a major mediator of the inflammatory response. The encoded protein is commonly referred to as interleukin-8 (IL-8). IL-8 is secreted by mononuclear macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, T lymphocytes, epithelial cells, and fibroblasts. It functions as a chemotactic factor by guiding the neutrophils to the site of infection. Bacterial and viral products rapidly induce IL-8 expression. IL-8 also participates with other cytokines in the proinflammatory signaling cascade and plays a role in systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). This gene is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of the lower respiratory tract infection bronchiolitis, a common respiratory tract disease caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The overproduction of this proinflammatory protein is thought to cause the lung inflammation associated with csytic fibrosis. This proinflammatory protein is also suspected of playing a role in coronary artery disease and endothelial dysfunction. This protein is also secreted by tumor cells and promotes tumor migration, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis. This chemokine is also a potent angiogenic factor. The binding of IL-8 to one of its receptors (IL-8RB/CXCR2) increases the permeability of blood vessels and increasing levels of IL-8 are positively correlated with increased severity of multiple disease outcomes (eg, sepsis). This gene and other members of the CXC chemokine gene family form a gene cluster in a region of chromosome 4q. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]
