Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection induced interleukin-8 (IL-S) gene transcription in a human monocytic cell line, THP-1 cells, leading to IL-S secretion, The functional analysis of the IL-X gene revealed that both AP-1-and NF-kappa E factor-binding elements were involved in conferring the responsiveness to CMV. Moreover, electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated that CMV induced the formation of NF-kappa B and AP-1 complexes. These results suggest that CMV activates these transcriptional factors, resulting in IL-8 gene expression.
