Latent adenoviral infection induces production of growth factors relevant to airway remodeling in COPD

Abstract: Previous studies showed an association between latent adenoviral infection with expression of the adenoviral E1A gene and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study focuses on how the adenoviral E1A gene could alter expression of growth factors by human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells. The data show that connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 mRNA and protein expression were upregulated in E1A-positive HBE cells. Upregulation of CTGF in this in vitr… Show more

“…The resulting clones that express E1A but not E1B are referred to as HA35-1 and HA57, respectively. Similar levels of E1A protein expression in these two cell lines have been reported (35). One cell line from the same patient from which HA35-1 was developed was transfected with this plasmid DNA but did not express E1A mRNA or protein.…”

“…TGFβ1 expression is particularly increased in the epithelium of small airways in COPD [93]. The adenoviral E1A gene induces the release of the growth factors CTGF and TGFβ1 in human bronchial epithelial cells [94]. Growth factors may also stimulate the proliferation and growth of airway smooth muscle cells.…”

“…Recent evidence suggests that latent adenoviral infection may be associated with the pathogenesis of COPD by a mechanism which involves enhancing lung inflammation [126][127][128]. The link is with the E1A protein derived from latent adenoviral infection which interacts with transcription factors and co-factors so enhancing nuclear binding of transcription factors [126].…”
