In the course of granulocyte-dominated lung inflammation, granulocytes migrate across the endothelium and epithelium of the lung and cause severe tissue damage. To study this process in more detail, we developed a bilayer transmigration model composed of primary human endothelial and lung epithelial cells, simultaneously cultured on opposite sides of Transwell filters. Electron microscopical analysis showed that the morphology of the cells and the expression of junctional proteins remained unaltered and that matrix components were deposited onto the filter. Intriguingly, neutrophil migration was more efficient across the bilayers than across single epithelial monolayers and did not differ from migration across single endothelial monolayers. Coculture experiments showed that endothelial cells stimulated epithelial cells to release IL-6 and that epithelial cells enhanced release of IL-8 from endothelial cells. Together these data reveal bidirectional signaling and enhanced neutrophil migration in a transmigration model of primary human epithelial and endothelial cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008954 Models, Biological Theoretical representations that simulate the behavior or activity of biological processes or diseases. For disease models in living animals, DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL is available. Biological models include the use of mathematical equations, computers, and other electronic equipment.
