lnterleukin-5 Upregulates Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 Gene Expression in the Nasal Mucosa in Nasal Allergy but Not in Nonallergic Rhinitis

Abstract: The effect of interleukin-5 (IL-5) on intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) gene expression in human nasal mucosa was studied using the method of gene expression quantification. Recombinant human IL-5 was shown to induce ICAM-1 gene expression in the nasal mucosa of patients with nasal allergy, but not in the mucosa of non-allergic patients. The peak level of ICAM-1 gene expression was seen 6 h after IL-5 stimulation. In the nasal mucosa of patients with nasal allergy, IL-5 might act not only as an eosino… Show more

“…The main function of IL–5 is defined as a maturation and growth factor for eosinophils and basophils and as a chemotactic factor for eosinophil infiltration from blood vessels to the nasal airway [39]. IL–5 also functions as an inducer of intracellular adhesion molecule–1 (ICAM–1) gene expression in human nasal mucosa during nasal allergic reactions [40]. A high level of IL–5 secretion by TCCs might participate as one of the factors in the immunopathology of Japanese cedar pollinosis.…”

“…5,[30][31][32][33] The present study also found low-level expression of ICAM-1 on nasal epithelial cells under baseline conditions but increased expression during the early phase of HRV infection. Expression of ICAM-1 in airway epithelium and endothelial cells in mice is up-regulated in response to various stimuli including ozone exposure, 34 interleukin 5, 35 tumor necrosis factor ␣, interleukin 1, 36 and activated CD8 + T cells. 37 Christensen et al 38 demonstrated a correlation between elevated circulating ICAM-1 levels in serum and virusinduced T-cell activation during lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection, which suggested release of ICAM-1 into the bloodstream.…”
