Superoxide dismutase moderates basal and induced bacterial adherence and interleukin-8 expression in airway epithelial cells.

چکیده
Bacterial infection of the tracheobronchial tree is a frequent, serious complication in patients receiving treatment with oxygen and mechanical ventilation, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Using human airway epithelial cell culture models, we examined the effect of hyperoxia on bacterial adherence and the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8), an important mediator involved in the inflammatory process. A 24-h exposure to 95% O(2) increased Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) adherence 57% in A549 cells (P < 0.01) and 115% in 16HBE cells (P < 0.01) but had little effect on Staphylococcus aureus (SA) adherence. Exposure to hyperoxia, followed by a 1-h incubation with SA, further enhanced PA adherence (P < 0.01), suggesting that hyperoxia and SA colonization may enhance the susceptibility of lung epithelial cells to gram-negative infections. IL-8 expression was also increased in cells exposed to both hyperoxia and PA. Stable or transient overexpression of manganese superoxide dismutase reduced both basal and stimulated levels of PA adherence and IL-8 levels in response to exposure to either hyperoxia or PA. These data indicate that hyperoxia increases susceptibility to infection and that the pathways are mediated by reactive oxygen species. Therapeutic intervention strategies designed to prevent accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species may reduce opportunistic pulmonary infections.

Haemophilus influenzae stimulates ICAM-1 expression on respiratory epithelial cells.
Epithelial cells interact directly with bacteria in the environment and play a critical role in airway defense against microbial pathogens. In this study, we examined the response of respiratory epithelial cells to infection with nontypable Haemophilus influenzae. Using an in vitro cell culture model, we found that epithelial cell monolayers released significant quantities of IL-8 and expressed...
متن کاملRole of oxidants in influenza virus-induced gene expression.
Influenza virus-induced epithelial damage may be mediated, in part, by reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs). In this study, we investigated the role of ROIs in the influenza virus-induced gene expression of antioxidant enzymes and in the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), an oxidant-sensitive transcriptional factor. Influenza virus infection increased production of intracellular ROIs in A...
متن کاملCooperative Effects of Rhinovirus and TNF-α on Airway Epithelial Cell Chemokine Expression
Rhinovirus (RV) infections trigger exacerbations of airways disease, but underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesized that RV and cytokines present in inflamed airways combine to induce augmented airway epithelial cell chemokine expression, promoting further inflammation. To test this hypothesis in a cellular system, we examined the combined effects of RV39 and TNF-α, a cytokine increa...

Galectin-1 and superoxide dismutase are two known molecules in the wound healing process that induce such healing by different mechanisms in the wound site. Larval therapy is one of the methods use by Lucilia sericata fly larvae, nowadays returned to the list of therapeutic methods despite chronic diabetic ulcers and antibiotic resistance of bacteria. In this study, we aimed to evaluat...
متن کاملManuscript # Blue-200206-627OC.R1 Inflammatory Response in Airway Epithelial Cells Isolated from Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
The concept that inflammatory gene expression is dysregulated in airway epithelial cells from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is controversial. To systematically examine this possibility, responses to inflammatory stimuli were compared in CF airway epithelial cell lines without versus with wildtype CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) complementation, and in tracheobronchial epithel...
