摘要
Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP) is an inhibitor of secretory phospholipase A(2). It is produced by airway epithelial cells and is present in airway secretions. Because interferon (IFN)-gamma can induce gene expression in airway epithelial cells and may modulate the inflammatory response in the airway, it was of interest to study the effect of this cytokine on epithelial cell CCSP mRNA expression and CCSP protein synthesis. A human bronchial epithelial cell Line (BEAS-2B) was used for this study. CCSP mRNA was detected by ribonuclease protection assay. IFN-gamma was found to increase CCSP mRNA-expression ina time- and dose-dependent manner. The CCSP mRNA level increased after IFN-gamma (300 U/ml) treatment for 8-36 h, with the peak increase at 18 h. Immunobloting of CCSP protein also demonstrated that IFN-gamma induced the synthesis and secretion of CCSP protein in a time-dependent manner. Nuclear run-on, CCSP reporter gene activity assay, and CCSP mRNA half-life assay demonstrated that IFN-gamma-induced increases in CCSP gene expression were mediated, at least in part, at the posttranscriptional level. The present study demonstrates that IFN-gamma can induce increases in steady-state mRNA levels and protein synthesis of human CCSP protein in airway epithelial cells and may modulate airway inflammatory responses ill this manner.
