Abstract:Rhinovirus (RV), which causes exacerbation in patients with chronic airway diseases, readily infects injured airway epithelium and has been reported to delay wound closure. In this study, we examined the effects of RV on cell repolarization and differentiation in a model of injured/regenerating airway epithelium (polarized, undifferentiated cells). RV causes only a transient barrier disruption in a model of normal (mucociliary-differentiated) airway epithelium. However, in the injury/regeneration model, RV pro… Show more
“…Since RV activates EGFR and induces acute expression of MUC5AC in normal epithelial cells,34 35 and GCH in repairing airway epithelial cell cultures,15 we reasoned that RV-induced EGFR may contribute to the observed GCH in COPD. To our surprise, RV did not increase EGFR phosphorylation in COPD cells.…”

“…Mucociliary-differentiated cell cultures were infected apically with 10 µL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing RV16 at 1 multiplicity of infection (MOI) or equivalent volume of sham and incubated for 15 days as described previously 15. Medium in the basolateral chamber was changed every other day.…”

“…Number of goblet cells in cell cultures was determined as described previously 15. Briefly, after relevant treatment, apical surface of the cell cultures was washed with 0.15% sodium bicarbonate in PBS, fixed in ice cold methanol and then immunostained with antibody to human tracheobronchial mucins30 and imaged under confocal microscopy to detect goblet cells.…”

“…Chronic EGFR activation by Sendai virus induces GCH in well-differentiated airway epithelial cells by promoting survival and transdifferentiation of ciliated to goblet cells in concert with IL-13 14. Recently, we demonstrated that RV promotes goblet cell differentiation in a model of injured but not in normal airway epithelium via persistent activation of EGFR 15. Since EGFR activity is already enhanced in COPD,16 17 RV may further activate EGFR to drive GCH independently or in concert with IL-13.…”
RV induces sustained GCH via NOTCH3 particularly in COPD cells or mice with COPD phenotype. This may be one of the mechanisms that may contribute to RV-induced prolonged airways obstruction in COPD.

“…Sajjan et al (2008) showed that infection of polarized airway epithelial cells with HRV can lead to redistribution of the tight junction protein zona occludens 1 (ZO-1) from the membrane to the cytoplasm. Furthermore, HRV was shown to impair the repolarization of airway epithelium regenerating after injury (Faris et al, 2016). Integrity of the epithelial barrier likewise is reduced after RSV infection (Kilani et al, 2004).…”
