Loxosceles spider evenomation in man frequently results in disfiguring necrotic skin lesions. Recent studies suggest that several proinflammatory mediators participate in lesion development. We have observed that Loxosceles deserta venom induces production of the chemokines interleukin-8, growth-related oncogene alpha, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-I by human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Members of the Rel/Nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB family of transcription factors are important regulators of many genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses. We hypothesized that Loxosceles-venom-induced chemokine expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells is mediated by NF-kappaB.
