The effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression and generation were examined in primary cultured human airway epithelial cells (HAEC) and a human lung epithelial cell line (A549). TNF-alpha increased IL-8 mRNA and protein expression in HAEC in a concentration- and time-dependent manner and these effects were inhibited by dexamethasone (1 microM). There was no change in the stability of IL-8 mRNA, and a nuclear run-on assay confirmed that TNF-alpha increased IL-8 gene transcription. TNF-alpha-induced IL-8 mRNA expression showed a biphasic response in HAEC, with an early increase at 2 h followed by a sustained increase from 8 h, which was abolished by the addition of cycloheximide, suggesting that the synthesis of another protein was involved. A549 cells also increased IL-8 secretion and mRNA after incubation of TNF-alpha, with inhibition by dexamethasone. However, A549 cells showed only an early single peak. A549 cells showed a 250-fold increase in the generation of IL-8 immunoreactivity, whereas primary cultured HAEC showed only a threefold increase, suggesting that HAEC and A549 cells may respond to TNF-alpha in different ways. The sustained increase in IL-8 secretion due to an increase in gene transcription in response to TNF-alpha may be an important amplification step in inflammatory diseases of the airways.

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.
