This study examines the ability of HT-29 human colonic epithelial cells to stimulate neutrophil migration and adhesion. Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a potent neutrophil chemoattractant, was detected in conditioned media from both unstimulated (1.1 ng/ml) and IL-1 beta-stimulated (16.1 ng/ml) HT-29 cultures. Conditioned medium from IL-1 beta-exposed HT-29 cells stimulated neutrophil migration (395% of control, P < 0.01), and this effect was completely inhibited by anti-IL-8 antibody. HT-29 medium also induced shedding of neutrophil L-selectin and increased expression of neutrophil CD11/CD18 adhesion receptors. Coculture of HT-29 cells with human endothelial cell monolayers resulted in increased neutrophil transendothelial migration (169% of control, P < 0.01), which was blocked by both anti-IL-8 and anti-CD18 antibody. Northern hybridization analysis demonstrated increased levels of mRNA for IL-8 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in cytokine-treated HT-29 cells. Cytokine stimulation of HT-29 monolayers was also associated with increased neutrophil adhesion to these cells. Neutrophil-HT-29 cell adhesion was blocked by monoclonal antibodies to neutrophil CD18 or to ICAM-1 on the HT-29 cells (86% and 56% inhibition, respectively, P < 0.01 for both). These data suggest that IL-8 secretion by activated colonic epithelial cells may contribute to neutrophil extravasation and tissue infiltration in intestinal inflammation.

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-α (TNF-α) in the presence or absence of ERK and p38 pathway inhibitors. TNF-α 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-κB (NF-κB). Inhibition of the ERK and p38 pathways attenuated IL-8 secretion but did not alter ICAM-1 expression. Furthermore, AP-1 and NF-κB 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-α-stimulated IL-8 secretion by intestinal epithelial cells via a posttranscriptional mechanism that involves stabilization of the IL-8 transcript.

Neutrophil Extravasation

Neutrophil infiltration is central to the pathogenesis of Clostridium difficiletoxin A-induced enterocolitis. This study examines whether monocyte activation by C. difficile toxins is instrumental in initiating neutrophil activation and recruitment. Human monocytes were exposed to low concentrations of highly purified C. difficile toxins, and the conditioned media were harvested for cytokine and functional assays. Monocytes exposed to C. difficiletoxin A (10−10M) or toxin B (10−12M) released 100 and 20 times basal levels, respectively, of the neutrophil chemoattractant interleukin-8 (IL-8). Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated a marked increase in IL-8 mRNA expression by monocytes 3 h after toxin exposure. Conditioned media from toxin A- and toxin B-treated monocytes stimulated neutrophil migration (324 and 245% of control, respectively). This effect was completely blocked by IL-8 antiserum. These media also upregulated neutrophil CD11b/CD18 and endothelial cell intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression. C. difficile toxins, at low concentrations, potently activate monocytes to release factors, including IL-8, that facilitate neutrophil extravasation and tissue infiltration. Our findings indicate a major role for toxin-mediated monocyte and macrophage activation in C. difficile colitis.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can induce a persistent inflammatory response, histopathological changes and apoptosis in the intestine. Glutamine has been shown to reduce bacterial translocation and maintain intestine mucosal integrity, but its effects on the inflammatory response, structural alterations and apoptosis in intestinal mucosa following TBI have not been previously investigated. Using the weight-drop method, a right parietal cortical contusion was induced in rats and, for the next 5 days, they were fed either chow alone or chow mixed with glutamine. Intestinal tissue samples were then removed for analysis. Following TBI, glutamine supplementation was found to: decrease intestinal concentrations of interleukin (IL) −1β, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-6; downregulate intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression; attenuate TBI-induced damage to the intestine structure; and reduce apoptosis. These results suggest that post-TBI glutamine administration could suppress intestinal inflammation, protect intestinal mucosal structure and reduce mucosal apoptosis.

To examine the effects of glucocorticoid on rhinovirus (RV) infection, primary cultures of human tracheal epithelial cells were infected with either RV2 or RV14. Viral infection was confirmed by demonstrating that viral RNA in infected cells and viral titers of supernatants and lysates from infected cells increased with time. RV14 infection upregulated the expression of mRNA and protein of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), the major RV receptor, on epithelial cells, and it increased the production of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α in supernatants. Dexamethasone reduced the viral titers of supernatants and cell lysates, viral RNA of infected cells, and susceptibility of RV14 infection in association with inhibition of cytokine production and ICAM-1 induction. In contrast to RV14 infection, dexamethasone did not alter RV2 infection, a minor group of RVs. These results suggest that dexamethasone may inhibit RV14 infection by reducing the surface expression of ICAM-1 in cultured human tracheal epithelial cells. Glucocorticoid may modulate airway inflammation via reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines and ICAM-1 induced by rhinovirus infection.

Upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is frequently implicated in lung inflammation. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to play a key role in inflammation via adhesion molecule induction and then causes lung injury. However, the mechanisms underlying LPS-induced ICAM-1 expression in human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiCs) remain unclear. We showed that LPS induced ICAM-1 expression in HPAEpiCs, revealed by Western blotting, RT-PCR, real-time PCR, and promoter assay. Pretreatment with the inhibitor of c-Src (protein phosphatase-1, PP1), reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Edaravone), NADPH oxidase (apocynin and diphenyleneiodonium chloride), EGFR (AG1478), PDGFR (AG1296), phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) (LY294002), MEK1/2 (U0126), or NF-κB (Bay11-7082) and transfection with siRNAs of c-Src, EGFR, PDGFR, Akt, p47 phox, Nox2, Nox4, p42, and p65 markedly reduced LPS-induced ICAM-1 expression and monocyte adherence to HPAEpiCs challenged with LPS. In addition, we established that LPS stimulated phosphorylation of c-Src, EGFR, PDGFR, Akt, or p65, which was inhibited by pretreatment with their respective inhibitors. LPS induced Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), MyD88, TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), c-Src, p47 phox, and Rac1 complex formation 2, which was attenuated by transfection with c-Src or TRAF6 siRNA. Furthermore, LPS markedly enhanced NADPH oxidase activation and intracellular ROS generation, which were inhibited by PP1. We established that LPS induced p42/p44 MAPK activation via a c-Src/NADPH oxidase/ROS/EGFR, PDGFR/PI3K/Akt-dependent pathway in these cells. Finally, we observed that LPS significantly enhanced NF-κB and IκBα phosphorylation, NF-κB translocation, and NF-κB promoter activity, which were inhibited by PP1, Edaravone, apocynin, diphenyleneiodonium chloride, AG1478, AG1296, LY294002 , or U0126. These results demonstrated that LPS induces p42/p44 MAPK activation mediated through the TLR4/MyD88/TRAF6/c-Src/NADPH oxidase/ROS/EGFR, PDGFR/PI3K/Akt pathway, which in turn initiates the activation of NF-κB and ultimately induces ICAM-1 expression in HPAEpiCs.

Bacterial Killing

Many cell types in the airway express the adhesive glycoprotein for leukocytes intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) constitutively and/or in response to inflammatory stimuli. In this study, we identified functions of ICAM-1 on airway epithelial cells in defense against infection with Haemophilus influenzae. Initial experiments using a mouse model of airway infection in which the bacterial inoculum was mixed with agar beads that localize inflammation in airways demonstrated that ICAM-1 expression was required for efficient clearance of H. influenzae. Airway epithelial cell ICAM-1 expression required few or no leukocytes, suggesting that epithelial cells could be activated directly by interaction with bacteria. Specific inhibition of ICAM-1 function on epithelial cells by orotracheal injection of blocking antibodies resulted in decreased leukocyte recruitment and H. influenzae clearance in the airway. Inhibition of endothelial cell ICAM-1 resulted in a similar decrease in leukocyte recruitment but did not affect bacterial clearance, indicating that epithelial cell ICAM-1 had an additional contribution to airway defense independent of effects on leukocyte migration. To assess this possibility, we used an in vitro model of neutrophil phagocytosis of bacteria and observed significantly greater engulfment of bacteria by neutrophils adherent to epithelial cells expressing ICAM-1 compared with nonadherent neutrophils. Furthermore, bacterial phagocytosis and killing by neutrophils after interaction with epithelial cells were decreased when a blocking antibody inhibited ICAM-1 function. The results indicate that epithelial cell ICAM-1 participates in neutrophil recruitment into the airway, but its most important role in clearance of H. influenzae may be assistance with neutrophil-dependent bacterial killing.

To evaluate the factors controlling migration of leukocytes into pulmonary airway epithelium, we determined the biochemical mechanisms responsible for the regulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression on cultured monolayers of human tracheal epithelial cells (HTECs) or SV40 virus-transformed human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). Validation experiments with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) demonstrated little detectable ICAM-1 expression on unstimulated cells or on cells incubated with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but HUVEC monolayers responded to interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) with significant increases in ICAM-1 and ICAM-1-dependent adherence of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). HTEC monolayers also exhibited no significant basal ICAM-1 expression but, in contrast to HUVEC monolayers, had marked increases in ICAM-1 expression and ICAM-1-dependent PMN adherence only after incubation with IFN-gamma (and not after IL-1 beta or TNF-alpha) treatment. BEAS-2B cells also exhibited relatively selective IFN-gamma stimulation of ICAM-1 expression and ICAM-1-dependent PMN adherence but (like late passage HTEC) showed significant basal ICAM-1 expression. Differences in IFN-gamma effect on ICAM-1 levels between HUVEC and HTEC monolayers were not due to differences in number or responsiveness of IFN-gamma receptors, because both cell types exhibited a similar number of receptors and other IFN-gamma-dependent responses of HUVECs remained active. In all analyses, ICAM-1 mRNA levels correlated closely with detection of ICAM-1 on the cell surface.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
