Clostridium difficiletoxin A promotes dendritic cell maturation and chemokine CXCL2 expression through p38, IKK, and the NF-κB signaling pathway

Acidic pH stimulates the production of t

Acidic pH stimulates the production of the angiogenic CXC chemokine, CXCL8 (interleukin-8), in human adult mesenchymal stem cells via the extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and NF-κB pathways

## Abstract Blood vessel injury results in limited oxygen tension and diffusion leading to hypoxia, increased anaerobic metabolism, and elevated production of acidic metabolites that cannot be easily removed due to the reduced blood flow. Therefore, an acidic extracellular pH occurs in the local mi
