Quantitative cytokine gene expression in CF airway

Abstract: Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in cystic fibrosis (CF) shows increased inflammation, which could be due to abnormal cytokine regulation. Bronchial epithelial cells and migratory inflammatory cells produce these cytokines, but few quantitative in vivo data are available comparing young CF patients with controls. We hypothesized that IL-8 mRNA abundance was higher in young CF vs. non-CF disease control patients in lung epithelium and inflammatory cells. Bronchial epithelial cells (BEC) were obtained by brus… Show more

“…Although additional mechanisms likely contribute to Nrf2 dysregulation, diminished antioxidant capacity, and related excessive inflammatory signaling in CF epithelia, inhibition of cAMP-mediated signaling significantly corrects these abnormalities. Notably, this mechanism links a response to CFTR dysfunction (e.g., altered cAMP-mediated signaling) to the clinically relevant manifestations of excessive inflammation (3,11,29) and diminished antioxidant and anti-inflammatory signaling present in CF (6,7,39,41).…”

“…Excessive inflammatory responses have been reported in patients with CF (29) and CF mice (11). Furthermore, there is evidence that resolution of inflammation in CF is impaired (17,27).…”

“…Clinical measures of lung inflammation (e.g., assessment of proinflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) consistently demonstrate more robust inflammation in patients with CF chronically infected with bacteria compared with patients without CF with similar lung infections (7,25,33), leaving little doubt that the infected CF airway as a whole is more inflamed than an infected non-CF airway. Although it is generally assumed that CF airway epithelial cells are hyperinflammatory in response to P. aeruginosa compared with non-CF airway epithelial cells, human CF airway cells in culture often fail to show a hyperinflammatory phenotype compared with airway epithelial cells expressing wild-type (wt)-CFTR (16,21,35).…”

“…1 CF is characterized by the dysfunction of the CF transmembrane regulator chloride channel and by abnormal inflammatory signaling, 2,3 excessive inflammatory responses, 4 and impairment in the resolution of inflammation, 5,6 leading to diminishing lung function and increased mortality. Infections with respiratory viruses (eg, influenza and rhinoviruses) are associated with exacerbation of pulmonary problems, disease progression, and increase in bacterial adherence in CF airways, which predisposes to secondary bacterial infection.…”
