Interleukin-8 (IL-8), originally discovered as the neutrophil chemoattractant and inducer of leukocyte-mediated inflammation, contributes to cancer progression through its induction of tumor cell proliferation, survival, and migration. IL-8 expression is increased in many types of advanced cancers, including ovarian cancer, and correlates with poor prognosis.Bortezomib (BZ) is the first FDA-approved proteasome inhibitor that has shown remarkable antitumor activity in multiple myeloma and other hematological malignancies. In solid tumors, including ovarian carcinoma, BZ has been less effective as a single agent; however, the mechanisms remain unknown. We have recently shown that in ovarian cancer cells, BZ greatly increases IL-8 expression, while expression of other NFκB-regulated cytokines, IL-6 and TNF, is unchanged. In this chapter, we describe a protocol that uses real-time qRT-PCR to quantitatively analyze mRNA levels of IL-8 and IL-6 in BZ-treated ovarian cancer cells. The protocol can be easily modified and used for analysis of other cytokines in different cell types.
