Cytokine modulation of human corneal epithelial cell ICAM-1 (CD54) expression.
To determine whether pro-inflammatory cytokines modulate intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; CD54) expression on cultured primary human corneal epithelial cells (HCEs), confluent HCEs were treated with various concentrations of interferon-gamma(IFN-gamma), interleukin-1alpha(IL-1alpha), IL-1beta, IL-4, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), or combinations over time. ICAM-1 expression was measured by flow cytometry and/or a cell-based ELISA using a monoclonal mouse anti-human CD54 antibody. The apparent MW of ICAM-1 protein was determined by immunoprecipitation of biotinylated HCEs. RT-PCR was used to detect ICAM-1 RNA. The mature cell surface form of HCE ICAM-1 was approximately 110 kDa as determined by immunoprecipitation. IFN-gammaand TNF-alpha induced both dose- and time-dependent increases in ICAM-1 expression. An approximately 20-fold increase in ICAM-1 was seen at 50-100 U IFN-gamma ml-1. ICAM-1 specific mRNA accumulated approximately 4.5-fold after IFN-gammatreatment. TNF-alpha(100 U ml-1) induced a consistent approximately 6.0-fold increase in ICAM-1 expression. When IFN-gammaand TNF-alpha were mixed, at sub-optimal concentrations of each, a synergistic effect on ICAM-1 expression was not detected. Neither IL-4, IL-1alpha nor IL-1beta affected ICAM-1 expression in a consistent fashion. In summary, ICAM-1 was modulated on primary human corneal epithelial cells by the cytokines IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Cytokine modulation of corneal epithelial cell ICAM-1 during inflammation may contribute to corneal epithelial cell injury by aiding the attachment of inflammatory cells such as eosinophils which express the receptor for ICAM-1, the beta2 integrins (CD11a,b,c/CD18).J Yannariello-brown, C K Hallberg, H Häberle, M M Brysk, Z Jiang, J A Patel, P B Ernst, S D Trocme
