Abstract |
Persistent infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels and causes dense neutrophil infiltrations in the airways of patients with chronic airway diseases. Recently, we have reported that nitrite reductase from P. aeruginosa induces the production of IL-8 in respiratory cells, including bronchial epithelial cells. To determine the molecular mechanism(s) of nitrite reductase-induced IL-8 expression in respiratory cells, A549 epithelial cells were transfected with plasmids containing serial deletions of the 5'-flanking region of the IL-8 gene and then exposed to nitrite reductase. Nitrite reductase significantly enhanced IL-8 gene promoter-driven reporter activity. This increased IL-8 gene expression was inhibited by mutating the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) binding element. Nitrite reductase enhanced nuclear localization of the NF-kappaB binding complex. Furthermore, nitrite reductase induced the degradation of IkappaBalpha, the major cytoplasmic inhibitor of NF-kappaB, and the expression of IkappaBalpha mRNA. These data support the critical role of the activation of NF-kappaB in nitrite reductase-induced IL-8 gene expression in airway epithelium.
