Considering that previous reports have shown that Interleukin‐8 (IL‐8) is associated with DC migration and maturation and is correlated with NF‐κB transcriptional regulation, we examined IL‐8 and p65 subunit expressions and p65 phosphorylation levels in GBM cells under an ANXA1 knockdown. The gene discussed is ANXA1; the disease is glioblastoma.
