Abstract
The intracellular pathways that regulate intestinal epithelial gene expression are poorly understood. In this study we examined the roles of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 in the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) using the human intestinal cell line HT-29. HT-29 cells were treated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the presence or absence of ERK and p38 pathway inhibitors. TNF-alpha treatment resulted in increased IL-8 and ICAM-1 protein and mRNA synthesis, increased ERK and p38 activity, and activation of the transcription factors activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). Inhibition of the ERK and p38 pathways attenuated IL-8 secretion but did not alter ICAM-1 expression. Furthermore, AP-1 and NF-kappaB DNA binding was not affected by ERK and p38 inhibition. In contrast, ERK and p38 inhibition resulted in the accelerated degradation of the IL-8 mRNA, suggesting that in HT-29 cells, p38 and ERK contribute to TNF-alpha-stimulated IL-8 secretion by intestinal epithelial cells via a posttranscriptional mechanism that involves stabilization of the IL-8 transcript.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
