CXCL8 and uveitis: Lin et al. in their two papers: “Effects of Lutein and Zeaxanthin on LPS-induced Secretion of IL-8 by Uveal Melanocytes and Relevant Signal Pathways” and “Effects of Lutein on Hyperosmoticity-Induced Upregulation of IL-6 in Cultured Corneal Epithelial Cells and Its Relevant Signal Pathways.” The first paper describes the ability of zeaxanthin and lutein to inhibit LPS-induced secretion of IL-8 by uveal melanocytes, which suggests a potential role for their application in the management of uveitis and other inflammatory eye diseases.
