Interleukin-1? Mediates Ozone-Induced Myeloid Differentiation Factor-88-Dependent Epithelial Tissue Injury and Inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Air pollution associated with ozone exposure represents a major inducer of respiratory disease in man. In mice, a single ozone exposure causes lung injury with disruption of the respiratory barrier and inflammation. We investigated the role of interleukin-1 (IL-1)-associated cytokines upon a single ozone exposure (1?ppm for 1?h) using IL-1?-, IL-1?-, and IL-18-deficient mice or an anti-IL-1? neutralizing antibody underlying the rapid epithelial cell death. Here, we demonstrate the release of the alarmin IL-1? after ozone exposure and that the acute respiratory barrier injury and inflammation and airway hyperreactivity are IL-1?-dependent. IL-1? signaling via IL-1R1 depends on the adaptor protein myeloid differentiation factor-88 (MyD88). Importantly, epithelial cell signaling is critical, since deletion of MyD88 in lung type I alveolar epithelial cells reduced ozone-induced inflammation. In addition, intratracheal injection of recombinant rmIL-1? in MyD88acid mice led to reduction of inflammation in comparison with wild type mice treated with rmIL-1?. Therefore, a major part of inflammation is mediated by IL-1? signaling in epithelial cells. In conclusion, the alarmin IL-1? released upon ozone-induced tissue damage and inflammation is mediated by MyD88 signaling in epithelial cells. Therefore, IL-1? may represent a therapeutic target to attenuate ozone-induced lung inflammation and hyperreactivity.
