Interleukin-8 production by human mesothelial cells after direct stimulation with staphylococci

Mesothelial cells (MC) are able to produce interleukin-8 (IL-8) after stimulation with IL-1 beta or tumor necrosis factor alpha. The aim of our study was to investigate whether MC are able to produce IL-8 after direct stimulation with clinically relevant bacteria. We observed a significant IL-8 response by the MC which were directly stimulated with viable staphylococci.
