Abstract

Interleukin (IL)-8 is a potent neutrophil chemoattractant that drives the inflammatory response in cystic fibrosis (CF). Traditional approaches to the pathophysiology of this inflammation have focused on targeting NF-kappaB-dependent signaling and therapy with glucocorticoids. We test the hypothesis that an alternative pathway, independent of NF-kappaB, operates through prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2) receptor EP-2 and stimulates IL-8 chemokine secretion. Using CF bronchial epithelial cells (IB3-1) in vitro, exogenous PGE-2 induces IL-8 release in a dose-dependent manner. These events are associated with elevation in the EP-2 receptors. Inhibition of cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2 with NS-398 was associated with reductions in Cox-2 (2-fold) and IL-6 (1.3-fold) mRNA transcripts, and in IL-8 and PGE-2 chemokine secretion. The inhibition of Cox-2 signaling led to down-regulation of the downstream C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) transcription factor, resulting in a decrease in IL-8 activation. We confirmed the regulation of IL-8 promoter by CHOP in CF cells using the IL-8 reporter assay. We conclude that PGE-2 stimulates IL-8 production through the CHOP transcription factor in CF cells.
