Expression of Cytokines on Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells Induced by Influenza Virus A

Abstract: Bronchial epithelial cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of some inflammatory diseases of bronchial mucosa. Epithelial-cell-derived cytokines are important in the elucidation of the mechanism by which airway inflammation occurs, especially in respiratory virus infection, because these cells are the primary sites of viral infection. We infected bronchial epithelial cells, NCI-H292, with influenza virus A (H3N2) and examined the concentrations of cytokines, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and regulated o… Show more

“…Our model does not preclude a role for other stimuli besides endothelial infection to induce platelet-endothelial adhesion. For instance, influenza infection recently has been reported to induce lung epithelial cytokine production, including that of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (44,45,46). Similarly, activated neutrophils and macrophages which are recruited to the lung after influenza infection (17) are themselves major producers of numerous proinflammatory cytokines (47), regulated at least in part by the autonomic nervous system (48,49).…”

“…Influenza viruses, especially H5N1 strains, have been shown to induce proinflammatory cytokines in murine and human blood-monocyte-derived macrophages (20), porcine alveolar macrophage (21), transformed bronchial epithelial cell line (22), and human primary alveolar and bronchiolar epithelial cells (23). In this study, in response to H5N1 and H1N1 infections, proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were up-regulated at mRNA level in early phase (at 6 h) as well as in late phase (at 24 h) of infection in microglia and astrocytes ( Figure 7).…”

“…Infection of bronchial epithelial cells by influenza A virus induces expression of interleukins IL-6, IL-8 and RANTES [1,10,22,23] which attract monocytes, T lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils, contributing to the development of airway inflammatory disease. Alveolar epithelial cells infected by respiratory syncitial virus contribute to acute episodes of respiratory obstruction [29,33] and infected cell lines show increased expression of both intracellular -and vascular cell -adhesion molecules (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, respectively) which contribute to inflammatory cell adherence [4,33].…”
