ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although inhaled glucocorticoids are the mainstays of asthma treatment, they are poorly effective at treating and preventing virus-induced asthma exacerbations. The major viruses precipitating asthma exacerbations are rhinoviruses.OBJECTIVE:
We sought to evaluate whether rhinovirus infection interferes with the mechanisms of action of glucocorticoids.METHODS:
Cultured primary human bronchial or transformed (A549) respiratory epithelial cells were infected with rhinovirus 16 (RV-16) before dexamethasone exposure. Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) α nuclear translocation, glucocorticoid response element (GRE) binding, and transactivation/transrepression functional readouts were evaluated by using immunocytochemistry, Western blotting, DNA binding assays, real-time quantitative PCR, coimmunoprecipitation, and ELISA techniques. Specific inhibitors of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and of IκB kinase (IKK) were used to investigate the involvement of intracellular signaling pathways.RESULTS:
RV-16 infection impaired dexamethasone-dependent (1) inhibition of IL-1ß-induced CXCL8 release, (2) induction of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 1 gene expression, and (3) binding of GR to GREs in airway epithelial cells. This was associated with impaired GRα nuclear translocation, as assessed by means of both immunochemistry (54.0% ± 6.8% vs 24.7% ± 3.8% GR-positive nuclei after 10 nmol/L dexamethasone treatment in sham- or RV-16-infected cells, respectively; P < .01) and Western blotting. RV-16 infection induced nuclear factor κB activation and GRα phosphorylation, which were prevented by inhibitors of IKK2 and JNK, respectively. In rhinovirus-infected cells the combination of JNK and IKK2 inhibitors totally restored dexamethasone suppression of CXCL8 release, induction of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 1 gene expression, and GRα nuclear translocation.CONCLUSION:
RV-16 infection of human airway epithelium induces glucocorticoid resistance. Inhibition of RV-16-induced JNK and nuclear factor κB activation fully reversed rhinovirus impairment of both GRα nuclear translocation and the transactivation/transrepression activities of glucocorticoids.Palabras clave
