It is well known that in vitro subculture represents a selection pressure on cell lines, and over time this may result in a genetic drift in the cancer cells. In addition, long-term cultures harbor the risk of cross-contamination with other cell lines. The consequences may have major impact on experimental results obtained in various laboratories, where the cell lines no longer reflect the orig...

BACKGROUND Gliomas are aggressive tumors of the central nervous system that rely on production of growth factors for tumor progression. Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is up-regulated in gliomas to promote angiogenesis and proliferation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the IL-8 -251 T/A and +781 C/T polymorphisms and glioma risk. METHODS We enrolled 300 glioma patients and 300 a...

background: interleukin (il)-8 plays important roles in the recruitment and activation of immune cells during visceral leishmaniasis (vl). genetic variations in il-8 modulate the expression of il-8 protein and may be associated with vl. this study aimed to evaluate polymorphisms at the il-8 −251 position in vl patients. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on three groups: leishman...

Background: Increased levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in acute human brucellosis have been reported. Previous studies have shown that the production and level of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines are associated with the polymorphism of the encoding genes. Objective: To investigate the probable association between IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-8 (-251 A/T) gene polymorphisms and susceptib...
