Unveiling the anti-inflammatory potential of RF16, an interleukin 8-derived therapeutic peptide in macrophages

Abstract Background Interleukin 8 (IL-8, also known as CXCL-8) regulates inflammation and breast cancer formation by activating its cognate receptor CXCR1/2. In our previous study, a RF16 peptide, derived from the IL-8 binding region of CXCR1/2, was synthesized to inhibit IL-8-stimulated and LPS-ind...
