BACKGROUND IL-17A is implicated in the regulation of inflammation and is found in increased amounts in the asthmatic airway. Human airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells synthesize cell adhesion molecules and cytokines in response to inflammatory mediators. OBJECTIVE In this study, we examined whether IL-17A modulated the synthetic function of ASM cells. METHODS Primary ASM cultures were treated with IL-17A alone and in combination with the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1beta. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 expression, GM-CSF, and IL-6 secretion were measured by ELISA. Examination of transcriptional regulation was performed via transient transfection of promoter constructs, whereas mRNA stability was assessed by actinomycin D chase and quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS Airway smooth muscle did not secrete IL-17A after stimulation of ASM with TNF-alpha and IL-1beta. Furthermore, IL-17A (0.1-10 ng/mL) had no effect on TNF-alpha-induced and IL-1beta-induced intercellular adhesion molecule 1 expression or GM-CSF secretion. However, IL-17A (10 ng/mL) significantly augmented TNF-alpha-induced IL-6 secretion 12-fold (TNF-alpha, 2.3 +/- 0.4 ng/mL; IL-17A and TNF-alpha, 27.5 +/- 4.8 ng/mL; P <.05) while having no effect on IL-1beta-induced IL-6. Although IL-17A had no effect on nuclear factor kappaB-mediated transcriptional regulation of IL-6 gene expression induced by TNF-alpha, IL-17A significantly augmented TNF-alpha-induced IL-6 mRNA stability. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these results demonstrate that IL-17A amplifies the synthetic function of ASM cells, acting via a posttranscriptional pathway, rather than transcriptional mechanisms, to augment TNF-alpha-induced secretion of IL-6 from ASM 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.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.

D016178 Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor An acidic glycoprotein of MW 23 kDa with internal disulfide bonds. The protein is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the hemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. GM-CSF is able to stimulate the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from fetal liver progenitor cells. GM-CSF can also stimulate some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages.
