The authors have shown that in CF bronchial epithelial cells, a reduced surface expression of TLR-4 causes a diminished interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6 response upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation.
CFTR protein expression was observed in CF (F508del/F508del) and healthy cultures and baseline interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6 release were similar in control and CF ALI cultures.
In CF bronchial IB3-1 cells, P. aeruginosa induced transcription of the neutrophil chemokines IL-8 and GRO-gamma, of the adhesion molecule intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, and of the cytokines IL-1beta and IL-6.
IL-6 increased mildly (up to 220 pg/ml) following vector administration to skin and lung airways of normal individuals and of individuals with CF, and to muscle and liver metastasis of individuals with PVD and colon cancer, respectively.
Compared with wild-type CFTR-expressing immortalized CF bronchial epithelial (CFBE) cells, DeltaF508-CFTR-expressing CFBE cells had greater AMPK activity and greater secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and the interleukins IL-6 and IL-8.
We investigated the TLR-4 expression and the inflammatory profile (IL-8 and IL-6 secretion) in CF bronchial epithelial cell line CFBE41o- and its CF transmembrane ion condcutance regulator (CFTR)-corrected counterpart grown under air-liquid interface conditions after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from gram-negative bacteria.
The aim of this study was to determine serum level of chemerin, interleukin-1b (IL-1b), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosing factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) and to verify if they correlate with the nutritional status in children with CF.
A mucoid phenotype of PA, but not two nonmucoid PA strains, high concentrations (> 10 microg/ml) of PA lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin (IL)-1beta, but not IL-6, dose-dependently induced hBD-2 messenger RNA in cultured normal bronchial, tracheal, as well as normal and CF-derived nasal epithelial cells.
Sustained inhibition of IL-6 and IL-8 expression by decoy ODN to NF-κB delivered through respirable large porous particles in LPS-stimulated cystic fibrosis bronchial cells.
Phloridzin, isolated from Malus domestica by a selective molecular imprinting extraction, and its structural analogues, Phloridzin heptapropionate (F1) and Phloridzin tetrapropionate (F2), were initially investigated because of their ability to reduce IL-6 and IL-8 expression in human CF bronchial epithelial cells (IB3-1) stimulated with TNF-α.
An overactive IRE1α-XBP1 pathway reprograms CF M1 macrophages toward an increased metabolic state, with increased glycolytic rates and mitochondrial function, associated with exaggerated production of TNF and IL-6.
