Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is closely related to the occurrence of lung cancer. Both diseases involve changes in the biological function and structure of bronchial epithelial cells. Recently, the role of exosomes in intercellular communication has attracted increasing attention from researchers. As an important molecule carried by exosomes, the role of exosomal miRNAs in diseases such as COPD and lung cancer has also been gradually confirmed. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of exosomal miRNA derived from macrophages on the proliferation of bronchial epithelial cells. Results After co-culture with alveolar macrophages from COPD, the proliferative activity and migration capacity of 16HBE was significantly enhanced compared with those from healthy controls. Alveolar macrophages from COPD promoted the production of MUC5AC, MUC5B and MUC2 as well as TNF - α and IL-6 in 16HBE. MiR-380 was up-regulated miRNA in exosomes derived from alveolar macrophages through miRNA array analysis. Exosomal miR-380 enhanced the proliferation and migration of 16HBE, promoted the expression of mucins such as MUC5AC, MUC5B and MUC2 of 16HBE, but inhibited the expression of CFTR protein. The target gene of miR-380 was CFTR. The proliferative activity and migration ability of 16HBE was enhanced by blocking CFTR. Conclusions Alveolar macrophages from COPD can enhance the proliferation and migration of 16HBE and promote the expression of mucin and proinflammatory mediators such as IL-6 and TNF-α. Exosomal miR-380 derived from macrophages in COPD was significantly up-regulated. The enhancement of proliferation and migration may be related to the down regulation of CFTR by exosomes delivering miR-380 to bronchial epithelial cells, opening a new way for the therapy and prevention in COPD and its complication.

In this study, we investigated the expression of lipocortin I and II (annexin I and I in the human bronchial epithelium, bothin vivoandin vitro. A clear expression of lipocortin I and II protein was found in the epithelium in sections of bronchial tissue. In cultured human bronchial epithelial cells we demonstrated the expression of lipocortin I and II mRNA and protein using Northern blotting, FACScan analysis and ELISA. No induction of lipocortin I or II mRNA or protein was observed after incubation with dexamethasone. Stimulation of bronchial epithelial cells with IL-1β, TNF-α or LPS for 24 h did not affect the lipocortin I or II mRNA or protein expression, although PGE2and 6-keto-PGF1αproduction was significantly increased. This IL-1β- and LPS-mediated increase in eicosanoids could be reduced by dexamethasone, but was not accompanied by an increase in lipocortin I or II expression. In human bronchial epithelial cells this particular glucocorticoid action is not mediated through lipocortin I or II induction.

Interleukin (IL)-4 is thought to contribute to the Th2 type of immune response and hence the development of allergic reactions such as asthma. In asthmatic patients, the airway epithelium expresses increased amounts of the cell surface adhesion molecule intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 (CD54). One cytokine capable of inducing ICAM-1 in airway epithelial cells, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), is present in asthma. This study evaluated if IL-4 either alone or together with TNF-α costimulation might modulate CD54 expression by human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). CD54 positivity increased in response to IL-4 (16 ± 2% positive vs. 3 ± 1%, P < 0.01); greater induction of CD54 resulted from TNF-α (45 ± 2%, P < 0.001). Costimulation with TNF-α plus IL-4 further augmented expression (56 ± 1%, P < 0.05). Immunoperoxidase results were confirmed by flow cytometry. RT-PCR revealed no increase in ICAM-1 mRNA expression under control conditions or after stimulation with IL-4 alone. TNF-α increased IL-4 mRNA, and IL-4 potentiated this. Functionally, IL-4 augmented the adhesion of THP-1 monocyte/macrophage cells to monolayers of HBECs both alone and in the presence of TNF-α. We conclude that 1) IL-4 augments epithelial cell ICAM-1 expression, 2) IL-4 potentiates the adhesion of THP-1 monocyte/macrophage cells to epithelial cells, and 3) modulation of epithelial cell ICAM-1 expression by IL-4 may play a role in the immunopathology of bronchial asthma.

In this study, we determined whether the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin-1β contribute to the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in human bronchial epithelial cells and whether the induction of MMP-9 is regulated by the transcription factor nuclear factor (NF)-κB. We demonstrated that TNF-α induced MMP-9 at both the protein and mRNA levels in human bronchial epithelial cells and that interleukin-1β did not. In contrast, induction of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 by TNF-α was less than that of interleukin-1β. Increased expression of MMP-9 and NF-κB activation induced by TNF-α were inhibited by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and N-acetyl-l-cysteine but were not inhibited by curcumin. These results suggest that TNF-α induces the expression of MMP-9 in human bronchial epithelial cells and that this induction is mediated via the NF-κB-mediated pathway.
