Respiratory viruses induce and potentiate airway inflammation, which is related to the induction of proinflammatory mediators such as interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6. Here we report on mechanisms implicated in IL-8 and IL-6 production by airway epithelium-like NCI-H292 cells exposed to parainfluenza virus type 4a (PIV-4). PIV-4 readily infected NCI-H292 cells as reflected by intracellular PIV-4 antigen expression. PIV-4 infection triggered a biphasic IL-8 and IL-6 mRNA response. Transient transfection with truncated and mutated promoter constructs identified NF-
B and activator protein (AP)-1, and CCAAT-enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) as the relevant transcription factors for PIV-4-induced IL-8 and IL-6 gene transcription, respectively. An increase of DNA-binding activities for NF-
B and C/EBP paralleled the induction of the first and second IL-8 and IL-6 mRNA peaks, whereas the onset of AP-1 paralleled the first IL-8 mRNA peak only. The second mRNA peak, apparently dependent on viral replication, coincided also with a marked reduction of IL-8 and IL-6 mRNA degradation. Importantly, cells at the time of the reduced mRNA degradation displayed an exaggerated IL-8 and IL-6 protein production to a secondary stimulus, as exemplified by steeper dose-response curves to TNF-
. Thus PIV-4 infection enhances epithelial IL-8 and IL-6 production by transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms. The previously unrecognized phase of reduced IL-8 and IL-6 mRNA degradation and the concurrent amplified epithelial IL-8 and IL-6 responses may play an important role in virus-induced potentiation of airway inflammation.
