Smoke and C5a induce airway epithelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and cell adhesion.

چکیده
The human bronchial epithelial cell is one of the first cell types to be exposed to the irritants and toxins present in inhaled cigarette smoke. The ability of the bronchial epithelium to modulate inflammatory and immune events in response to cigarette smoke is important in the pathogenesis of smoke-induced airway injury. We have shown that cigarette smoke extract and the complement anaphylatoxin C5a both independently induce increased expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 on airway epithelial monolayers compared with unstimulated cells in vitro. This enhanced ICAM-1 expression is associated with a greater capacity of the airway epithelial cells to bind mononuclear cells, a process that appears to require the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha and protein kinase C intracellular signaling. Exposure of epithelial monolayers to the combination of cigarette smoke followed by C5a results in an additive response for ICAM-1 expression and mononuclear cell adhesion compared with smoke or C5a challenge alone. Inhibiting C5a receptor expression can attenuate these responses. These findings suggest that smoke exposure in some way enhances the functional responsiveness of the C5a receptor expressed on these airway epithelial cells for subsequent C5a-mediated increases in ICAM-1 expression and mononuclear cell adhesion. Our results may help explain the initiation and propagation of inflammatory events in vivo induced by chronic airway exposure to cigarette smoke.

A CD18/ICAM-1-dependent pathway mediates eosinophil adhesion to human bronchial epithelial cells.
Eosinophil adhesion to airway epithelium is believed to facilitate eosinophil accumulation and retention in asthmatic airways. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and its CD18 leukocyte integrin ligands have been shown to inhibit airway eosinophilia in animal models of asthma, although the role of this pathway in eosinophil-epithelial adhesion is not f...
متن کاملα1-Antitrypsin reduces rhinovirus infection in primary human airway epithelial cells exposed to cigarette smoke
Human rhinovirus (HRV) infections target airway epithelium and are the leading cause of acute exacerbations of COPD. Cigarette smoke (CS) increases the severity of viral infections, but there is no effective therapy for HRV infection. We determined whether α1-antitrypsin (A1AT) reduces HRV-16 infection in CS-exposed primary human airway epithelial cells. Brushed bronchial epithelial cells from ...
متن کاملAdhesion molecule expression on epithelial cells infected with respiratory syncytial virus.
Respiratory epithelium is both a target and an effector of airway inflammation. Adhesion molecules on epithelium play an important role in a variety of airway diseases. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important pathogen for airway diseases in infants. The expression of adhesion molecules on epithelium in RSV infection, however, is unclear. The expression of selected adhesion molec...
متن کاملThe expression of adhesion molecules in cigarette smoke-induced airways obstruction.
Cigarette smoking produces peripheral airway inflammation in all smokers, and chronic airways obstruction in approximately 20% of heavy smokers. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that airways obstruction is related to changes in the expression of adhesion molecules involved in the recruitment of cells to sites of inflammation in the lung. Freshly resected lungs from heavy sm...
