Similarly, the use of well-differentiated human airway epithelial cell cultures has led to an understanding of precise signaling pathways regulating cellular functions such as mucus secretion, adhesion molecule and cytokine expression, and epithelial cell proliferation. The ability to combine these two powerful research approaches lies with creating an in vitro mouse tracheal epithelial (MTE) cell culture system. Here, we report the development of such a primary cell system that maintains morphologic and functional characteristics of the in vivo mouse airway epithelium. Specifically, epithelial cells dissociated from intact mouse tracheas are grown in air/liquid interface culture in defined media with or without serum. Under both conditions, Alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff–positive mucous cells are observed. In contrast, ciliary development appears to require serum, suggesting that it may be possible to further manipulate this cell culture system to allow precise study of either mucous or ciliated cell development. This cell culture system has been examined to ensure its epithelial nature as indicated by Western blot analyses showing the culture findings to be positive for cytokeratin 5 expression. Using a mouse mucin 5ac-specific antibody to detect secreted protein by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the cultures are found to secrete mucin constitutively and in a stimulated manner in response to known secretagogues (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and 8-Br-cyclic guanosine monophosphate). Although a single trachea yields only 1 cm2 of differentiated culture, our preliminary studies indicate sufficient material can be obtained to perform gene array analyses of control and interleukin-13–exposed MTE cell cultures. Thus, we anticipate use of the MTE cell culture system not only to determine specific signaling pathways important to airway epithelial cell changes during lung disease, but by employing cells from knockout and transgenic mice, we expect to obtain an understanding of how expression of genes controlling these pathways is altered by genetic changes. In this manner, it should be possible to directly interface in vitro experimentation to define precise signaling pathways in airway epithelial cells with in vivo whole animal studies.}, number={3}, journal={Chest}, author={Martin, L.

The cytokine interleukin (IL)-13, implicated as a mediator in the development of asthma, induces a significant degree of subepithelial fibrosis in the lungs of transgenic mice. Since IL-13 has been shown to exert effects on the airway epithelium, including the development of a mucous phenotype, we have begun to determine whether IL-13 provokes production of factors from the epithelium that could elicit the observed subepithelial fibrotic response. In the studies reported herein, injured airways with regions of regenerating/differentiating cells and regions of normal fully differentiated cells have been mimicked by examining the effects of IL-13 on normal human bronchial epithelial cells during mucociliary differentiation in air/liquid interface culture. Exposure of normal human bronchial epithelial cells to IL-13 resulted in increased production of soluble transforming growth factor (TGF)-a, with the growth factor interacting in an autocrine manner with the epidermal growth factor receptor. Production of soluble TGF-a was very rapid, with a threefold increase observed in response to IL-13 (10 ng/mL) b y1ho fexposure. Continuous exposure to IL-13 throughout the course of mucociliary differentiation (a total of 10 days) resulted in a twofold increase in cell number by day 7 when cells are differentiated.

In this study, we investigated potential signaling pathways mediating TNF-alpha-induced mucin secretion using guinea pig tracheal epithelial (GPTE) cells in air-liquid interface culture. Exogenously applied TNF-alpha (human recombinant) stimulated mucin secretion in a concentration-dependent manner, with maximal effects at 10 to 15 ng/ml (286 to 429 U/ml). The pathway of stimulated secretion appeared to involve generation of intracellular nitric oxide (NO), activation of soluble guanylate cyclase (GC-S), production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), and activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). TNF-alpha increased production of nitrite and nitrate by GPTE cells; both mucin secretion and cGMP production were attenuated by NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (1 mM), a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), or by the GC-S inhibitor LY83583 (50 microM); and mucin secretion in response to TNF-alpha or to the cGMP analogue dibutyryl cGMP (100 and 500 microM) was attenuated by the specific PKG inhibitor KT5823 (1 microM). Increased mucin secretion and increased cGMP production in response to TNF-alpha both appeared to be mediated by a phospholipase C that hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine (PC-PLC), and by protein kinase C (PKC), since both responses were attenuated by either D609 (10 and 20 microg/ml), a specific PC-PLC inhibitor, or by each of three PKC inhibitors: Calphostin C (0.3 and 0.5 microM), bisindoylmaleimide (GF 109203X, Go 6850; 20 nM), or Ro31-8220 (10 microM).

We investigated mechanisms of ROS-induced mucin secretion by guinea pig tracheal epithelial (GPTE) cells in primary culture, and ROS-induced activation of the second messenger-producing enzyme phospholipase C (PLC), in GPTE cells and in a virally transformed cell line (BEAS-2B) derived from human bronchial epithelium. Mucin secretion was measured by a monoclonal antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and PLC activation was assessed by anion exchange chromatography. ROS generated enzymatically by xanthine oxidase (XO, 500 microM) in the presence of purine (500 microM) enhanced release of mucin by GPTE cells and activated PLC in GPTE and BEAS cells. Hypersecretion of mucin and activation of PLC in response to purine + XO appeared to occur via an intracellular pathway(s) dependent on endogenously produced nitric oxide and possibly intracellularly generated oxidants. Both responses could be blocked or attenuated by preincubation of the cells with NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, an inhibitor of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase, or with dimethylthiourea, a compound that can react with a variety of intracellular oxidant species. Reactive nitrogen species generated chemically also stimulated secretion of mucin and activated PLC via a mechanism dependent (at least in part) on intracellular oxidant-mediated process(es). The results suggest that intracellularly generated radical species of nitrogen and oxygen may be important modulators of the response of airway epithelial cells to external oxidant stress. }, number={5}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY-LUNG CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR PHYSIOLOGY}, author={Wright, DT and Fischer, BM and Li, CM and Rochelle, LG and Akley, NJ and Adler, KB}, year={1996}, month={Nov}, pages={L854–L861} } @article{krunkosky_fischer_akley_adler_1996, title={Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha)-induced ICAM-1 surface expression in airway epithelial cells in vitro: Possible signal transduction mechanisms}, volume={796}, ISBN={["0-89766-979-7"]}, ISSN={["0077-8923"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1749-6632.1996.tb32564.x}, abstractNote={Within the past several years research on the interaction of cytokines and adhesion molecules with airway epithelium in diseases has allowed us to develop a better understanding of the disease process.

Effects of TNF alpha on ICAM-1 surface expression was investigated in both primary cultures of normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells and immortalized human bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B. TNF alpha (0.015-150 ng/mL) significantly enhanced ICAM-1 surface expression (measured by flow cytometry) in a dose and time-dependent manner, with peak expression seen at 24 hours. This response was negated by heat inactivation of the TNF alpha prior to incubation.
