Interleukin-17 Stimulates the Expression of Interleukin-8, Growth-Related Oncogene- α , and Granulocyte–Colony-Stimulating Factor by Human Airway Epithelial Cells

Jones, Carol E., Chan, Katie·2002·American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology

Abstract

Interleukin (IL)-17 is a recently discovered cytokine, which is proposed to play a role in neutrophilic airway inflammation via the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. To evaluate the role of IL-17 in inflammatory protein production from the airway epithelium, we have analyzed the effects of IL-17 on primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). Using gene arrays, changes in gene expression in response to IL-17 stimulation were investigated and only IL-8, growth-related oncogene (Gro)alpha, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) were found to be upregulated. Secretion of IL-8, Groalpha, and G-CSF in response to IL-17 was measured in HBEC cell culture supernatants by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Upregulation of Groalpha, IL-8, and G-CSF was observed to be 8-, 5-, and 8-fold, respectively, after 48 h stimulation with IL-17. When tested at equivalent concentrations, IL-17 was found to be 2- to 3-fold more potent than tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in stimulating release of Groalpha and G-CSF from HBECs. In addition, IL-17 was found to synergistically enhance TNF-alpha-induced production of IL-8, Groalpha, and G-CSF. It is proposed that IL-17 may play an important role in neutrophil recruitment via stimulating the release of IL-8, Groalpha, and G-CSF from airway epithelial cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
