    Abstract Vitamin D is an important regulator of the expression of antimicrobial peptides, and vitamin D deficiency is associated with respiratory infections. Regulating expression of antimicrobial peptides, such as the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide 18 (hCAP18)/LL-37, by vitamin D in bronchial epithelial cells requires local conversion of 25(OH)-vitamin D(3) (25D(3)) into its bioactive metabolite, 1,25(OH)(2)-vitamin D(3) (1,25D(3)), by CYP27B1. Low circulating vitamin D levels in childhood asthma are associated with more-severe exacerbations, which are often associated with infections. Atopic asthma is accompanied by Th2-driven inflammation mediated by cytokines such as interleukin 4 (IL-4) and IL-13, and the effect of these cytokines on vitamin D metabolism and hCAP18/LL-37 expression is unknown. Therefore, we investigated this with well-differentiated bronchial epithelial cells. To this end, cells were treated with IL-13 with and without 25D(3), and expression of hCAP18/LL-37, CYP27B1, the 1,25D(3)-inactivating enzyme CYP24A1, and vitamin D receptor was assessed by quantitative PCR. We show that IL-13 enhances the ability of 25D(3) to increase expression of hCAP18/LL-37 and CYP24A1. In addition, exposure to IL-13 resulted in increased CYP27B1 expression, whereas vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression was not significantly affected. The enhancing effect of IL-13 on 25D(3)-mediated expression of hCAP18/LL-37 was further confirmed using SDS-PAGE Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. In conclusion, we demonstrate that IL-13 induces vitamin D-dependent hCAP18/LL-37 expression, most likely by increasing CYP27B1. These data suggest that Th2 cytokines regulate the vitamin D metabolic pathway in bronchial epithelial cells.

    Abstract Objective and design: Neutrophils may contribute to recruiting other cells to sites of inflammation by generating chemotactic signals themselves, or by stimulating other cell types to release chemoattractants such as interleukin-8 (IL-8). Recently, we demonstrated that neutrophil-derived alpha-defensins are able to increase IL-8 expression in airway epithelial cells. In addition, it has previously been reported that neutrophil elastase-induced IL-8 synthesis was insensitive to inhibition by the glucocorticoid dexamethasone. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of defensins on the expression of various cytokines in cultured airway epithelial cells and to examine the effect of dexamethasone on defensin-induced cytokine synthesis in these cells.
    Methods: Cultures of A549 cells and primary bronchial epithelial cells (PBEC) were stimulated with defensins either alone or in the presence of dexamethasone. Supernatants were analyzed for IL-8, ENA-78, IL-6, MCP-1 and GM-CSF by ELISA. In addition, IL-8 and ENA-78 mRNA was detected by Northern blot analysis.
    Results: Defensins increased IL-8 expression, ENA-78, MCP-1 and GM-CSF release from A549 cells, whereas in PBEC only IL-8 and IL-6 were increased. Pre-treatment with dexamethasone significantly reduced defensin-induced IL-6, IL-8 and ENA-78 synthesis in airway epithelial cells. In addition, dexamethasone also reduced the neutrophil chemotactic activity in supernatants of these cells.
    Conclusions: The results from the present study indicate that defensins differentially induce cytokine secretion by A549 cells and PBEC. Glucocorticoids may interfere with the defensin-induced inflammatory process by reducing defensin-induced cytokine secretion in lung epithelial cells.
