−	Interleukin 8 (IL8 or chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8, CXCL8) is a chemokine produced by macrophages and other cell types such as epithelial cells, airway smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. Endothelial cells store IL-8 in their storage vesicles, the Weibel-Palade bodies. In humans, the interleukin-8 protein is encoded by the CXCL8 gene. IL-8 is initially produced as a precursor peptide of 99 amino acids which then undergoes cleavage to create several active IL-8 isoforms.In culture, a 72 amino acid peptide is the major form secreted by macrophages.	+
−	There are many receptors on the surface membrane capable of binding IL-8; the most frequently studied types are the G protein-coupled serpentine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. Expression and affinity for IL-8 differs between the two receptors (CXCR1 > CXCR2). Through a chain of biochemical reactions, IL-8 is secreted and is an important mediator of the immune reaction in the innate immune system response.	+	We decided to modify the <h4>[https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K509005 Biobrick BBa_K509005]from iGEM11_UEA-JIC_Norwich 2011 team</h4> this team optimized Gluc for use in the algal species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

−	IL-8, also known as neutrophil chemotactic factor, has two primary functions. It induces chemotaxis in target cells, primarily neutrophils but also other granulocytes, causing them to migrate toward the site of infection. IL-8 also stimulates phagocytosis once they have arrived. IL-8 is also known to be a potent promoter of angiogenesis. In target cells, IL-8 induces a series of physiological responses required for migration and phagocytosis, such as increases in intracellular Ca2+, exocytosis (e.g. histamine release), and the respiratory burst.
−	IL-8 can be secreted by any cells with toll-like receptors that are involved in the innate immune response. Usually, it is the macrophages that see an antigen first, and thus are the first cells to release IL-8 to recruit other cells. Both monomer and homodimer forms of IL-8 have been reported to be potent inducers of the chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. The homodimer is more potent, but methylation of Leu25 can block the activity of homodimers.

hGluc

Usage and Biology

The luciferase from the marine copepod Gaussia princeps (Gluc) is the smallest coelenterazine (CTZ)-utilizing luciferase known thus far. It can emit green light and this property makes it to be used as a reporter gene. Gaussia luciferase exhibits an activity up to 1,000-fold higher than to Renilla reniformis luciferase (Rluc), firefly luciferase (Fluc), or bacterial luciferases (LuxAB). The outstanding sensitivity of Gluc-based assays was previously demonstrated detecting as low as 10−18 mol purified Gluc or one eukaryotic cell transiently expressing Gluc.

We decided to modify the

this team optimized Gluc for use in the algal species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We designed to improve the Gluc to the humanized Gaussia princeps which can be expressed in human cell lines.

Design

We wanted to design a gene expression system with hGluc as reporter, so that we can simplify the production detection process into fluorescent observation. We designed a plasmid ligate our target gene with hGluc using mammalian lentivirus expression vector. We use a 45bp linker to connect the hGluc with the CD11b transmembrane domain and use P2A (2A peptide allows an open reading frame (ORF) to translate a peptide chain into several independent peptide chains) connect with Interleukin 8 CDS, in our assumption this allow the stable expression of both our target gene and the hGluc in Hela cells.

Location of features

hGluc: 3120-3710
linker: 3711-3755
CD11b transmembrane domain: 3756-3989
P2A :3990-4055
Interleukin 8 CDS :4056-4352

Properties

Later we transfected this plasmid into Hela cells, we tested whether we successfully transfected. We use the hGluc kit to test the function of hGluc after assembled into the plasmid. The result showed that hGluc can normally paly its role. And we tested the fluorescent activity under different light exposure time, and analyzed data is shown here.

We characterized the transcription process by testing the change of RNA through quantitative PCR. Next, we characterized the translation process by testing the dynamic change of mRuby through flow cytometer. The final step is to characterize the secretion process. Since we have chosen hGluc as our target product, we did it by measuring the chemiluminescence value.

For the hGluc chemiluminescence test, we characterized the secretion process after protein translation. This set of data enable us to characterize he relationship between light exposure and Gene expression on multi-level (transcription level, translation level and secretion level), which is vital for further acquisition of experimental parameters and model constructions.
