A rhesus monkey interleukin (IL)-8 cDNA clone with >94% homology to the human IL-8 gene was isolated by differential hybridization from a cDNA library of distal airways after ozone inhalation. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry showed increased IL-8 mRNA and protein levels in epithelial cells at 1 h but not at 24 h after inhalation of ozone. The appearance of IL-8 in airway epithelial cells correlated well with neutrophil influx into airway epithelia and lumens. Air-liquid interface cultures of tracheobronchial epithelial cells were exposed to ozone in vitro. We observed a transient increase in IL-8 secretion in culture medium immediately after ozone exposure and a dose-dependent increase in IL-8 secretion and mRNA production. In vitro neutrophil chemotaxis showed a parallel dose and time profile to epithelial cell secretion of IL-8. Treatment with anti-IL-8 neutralizing antibody blocked >80% of the neutrophil chemotaxis in vitro. These results suggest that IL-8 is a key chemokine in acute ozone-induced airway inflammation in primates.
