Protein kinase C activation is required for cigarette smoke-enhanced C5a-mediated release of interleukin-8 in human bronchial epithelial cells.

چکیده
Complement-derived anaphylatoxin C5a is a glycopolypeptide important in the regulation of inflammation. Previously, we have shown that C5a receptors (C5aR) are constitutively expressed on human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) grown in culture. We have also shown that the expression of C5aR is increased upon exposure of HBECs to 5% cigarette smoke extract (CSE), and that this subtoxic dose of CSE significantly enhances C5a-stimulated interleukin (IL)-8 release. To determine the intracellular signaling pathway of CSE + C5a-mediated IL-8 release, we assayed protein kinase C (PKC) activity of HBECs after exposing the cells to CSE and/or C5a. No increase in PKC activity was observed when HBECs were treated with 50 nM C5a for various times. However, PKC activity was increased by 2- to 3-fold in HBECs stimulated with 5% CSE for 1 h, as compared with cells incubated with medium only. No additional increase in PKC was observed when HBECs were treated with CSE and C5a together. When HBECs were pretreated with the PKC-specific inhibitor calphostin C (1 microM), no CSE-mediated PKC activation was observed. We then correlated PKC activation with IL-8 release in the same cells. Although HBECs required stimulation by both CSE and C5a to release maximal levels of IL-8, preincubation of CSE-stimulated HBECs with calphostin C inhibited IL-8 release by CSE + C5a. These results suggest that PKC activation by CSE alone does not result in IL-8 release, but that CSE-stimulated PKC activation is required for C5a-mediated IL-8 release from HBECs.

Smoke and C5a induce airway epithelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and cell adhesion.
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 anaphylatox...
متن کاملAutocrine ligands for the epidermal growth factor receptor mediate interleukin-8 release from bronchial epithelial cells in response to cigarette smoke.
Airway neutrophilia is a prominent feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. As cigarette smoke (CS) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) both cause release of interleukin-8 (IL-8) from epithelial cells in vitro, we investigated whether autocrine ligands for the EGF receptor (EGFR) are involved in this proinflammatory response to CS. NCI-H292 or primary bronchial epithelial cells were cult...

Basophils are the accessory cell type for T-helper (Th)2 induction and initiators in immunoglobulin E-mediated chronic allergic inflammation. Basophils and Th17 cells accumulate at the inflammatory sites, such as the airways of allergic asthmatic patients. We investigated the activation of interleukin (IL)-17A on the primary human basophils/KU812 basophilic cells and primary human bronchial epi...
متن کاملAcrolein-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling is mediated by alkylation of thioredoxin reductase and thioredoxin 1☆☆☆
Cigarette smoking remains a major health concern worldwide, and many of the adverse effects of cigarette smoke (CS) can be attributed to its abundant electrophilic aldehydes, such as acrolein (2-propenal). Previous studies indicate that acrolein readily reacts with thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1), a critical enzyme involved in regulation of thioredoxin (Trx)-mediated redox signaling, by alkylat...
