Expression and Modulation of Adhesion Molecules on Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells

Abstract: Epithelial damage in the airways is a feature often observed in patients with asthma and is probably caused by the interaction of epithelial cells with leukocytes. As adhesion molecules are thought to be important in this interaction, we analyzed the expression and modulation of adhesion molecules on primary cultured human bronchial epithelial cells and the bronchial epithelial cell lines BEAS-2B and NCI-H292. E-selectin, P-selectin, and VCAM-1 were absent under basal and stimulated conditions. The adhesion mo… Show more

“…The in vivo model system used for our studies does not differentiate the role of direct interaction between bacteria and epithelial cells from the better understood cytokine-dependent mechanisms for inflammatory gene regulation. IFN-␥ and TNF-␣ appear to be the predominant cytokine stimulants of airway epithelial cell ICAM-1 expression (4,5,67), and epithelial cell induction of ICAM-1 by LPS in vivo may be TNF-␣ dependent (72). However, rapid induction of ICAM-1 and other mediators by direct bacterial interaction with epithelial cells, independent of inflammatory mediator release by other cell types, may allow for early targeting of neutrophils to sites of H. influenzae infection resulting in efficient innate defense in the airway.…”

“…BEAS-2B cell line is derived from epithelial cells, which were isolated from normal human bronchial epithelium and infected with and adenovirus 12-SV40 virus hybrid in order to increase culture longevity [18]. We used BEAS-2B cells as noncancerous control because this cell line is nontumorigenic and retains features of human bronchial epithelial cells [18,19]. As shown in Fig.…”

“…Such immunoliposomes can bind to cells expressing the target antigen by multivalent interactions [20,211. Immunoliposomes specifically directed against the adhesion molecule ICAM-1 were prepared, using the anti-ICAM-I mAb F 10.2 [22], characterised and evaluated for their in vitro binding capacity to cells expressing ICAM-1. As target cells we used human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and the bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B, which are well characterized for their ICAM-1 expression [23,24]. We show that the F10.2-mediated targeting of liposomes to ICAM-1 expressing cells is rapid, specific and positively correlated with the degree of ICAM-1 expression.…”
