Long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) expression and release by neutrophils in vitro and in ulcerative colitis

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is the first identified long pentraxin, and it is rapidly produced and released by several cell types in response to proinflammatory signals. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of neutrophils to produce PTX3 protein in response to proinflammatory cytokine IL‐8 in vitro, as well as identify the expression pattern of PTX3 in human ulcerative colitis lesions.
