Particulate matter (PM) is thought to be responsible for respiratory health problems. Epithelial cells exposed to particles release pro-inflammatory cytokines leading to inflammation of airways. However, the signaling cascades triggered by particles are poorly understood. We demonstrate that PM with an aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 microm (PM2.5) or diesel exhaust particles upregulate the expression of amphiregulin (AR), a ligand of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), in human bronchial epithelial cells. AR secretion was blocked by an inhibitor of the EGFR tyrosine kinase (AG1478), or a selective mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase/extracellular regulated kinase (Erk) inhibitor (PD98059), but not by the p38 MAP kinase inhibitor (SB203580). Thus, AR secretion is mediated through the activation of the EGFR and Erk MAP kinase pathway. In addition, AR secretion was inhibited by the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine, but not by a neutralizing anti-EGFR, suggesting an EGFR transactivation via oxidative stress. AR may be involved in cytokine secretion, as AR can induce granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) release and a neutralizing anti-EGFR reduces the particle-induced GM-CSF release. This study indicates that PM2.5 induces the expression and secretion of AR, an EGFR ligand contributing to GM-CSF release, which may reflect an important mechanism for sustaining the proinflammatory response.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
