lnterleukin-8 (IL-8) is a chemoattractant and activating factor for human neutrophils and a potent angiogenic agent. The peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis has been shown to have increased neutrophil chemotactic activity. We postulate that IL-8 may be an important modulator in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and adhesion formation. We first investigated IL-8 concentrations in the peritoneal fluid of women with or without endometriosis, then assessed peritoneal mesothelial cells as a potential source of peritoneal fluid IL-8. Northern blot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to investigate IL-8 mRNA and protein modulation. The mean concentration of IL-8 in samples obtained from control patients (n = 28) was 4.8 ± 0.5 pg/ml; from patients with minimal-mild endometriosis (n = 24) was 27.5 ± 2.6 pg/ml; and from patients with moderate-severe endometriosis (n = 21) was 530.2 ± 65.1 pg/ml. Confluent mesothelial cells were incubated with human recombinant IL-1a (0.01–100 IU/ml) or tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-a (0.01 to 100 ng/ml) for 2–24 h. IL-8 mRNA was detectable in non-treated cells, however both IL-1a and TNF-{alpha} induced higher amounts of IL-8 mRNA in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Non-treated mesothelial cells in culture also produced and secreted IL-8 protein quantified by ELISA, but again higher concentrations were induced by IL-1{alpha} and TNF-{alpha} treatment. In conclusion, we found that IL-8 concentrations were elevated in peritoneal fluids from women with endometriosis. Cultured mesothelial cells expressed cytokine-inducible IL-8 mRNA and secreted IL-8 protein. The regulated expression of this angiogenic factor may play a role in pathogenesis of endometriosis.
