ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To test the effect of high-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) alone or in synergy with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on the expression of IL-8 in human airway epithelial cells in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Human airway epithelial 16HBE and A549 cell lines were incubated with HMGB1 (100 ng/ml) in the absence or presence of IL-1β (10 ng/ml) for 24 h, and the changes of IL-8 mRNA and protein expressions were assessed using quantitative PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the two human airway epithelial cell lines, HMGB1 alone did not produce obvious effect on the expression of IL-8, but in the presence of IL-1β, HMGB1 caused a significant increase of IL-8 expressions at both the mRNA and protein levels.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>HMGB1 in synergy with IL-1β increases the expression of IL-8 in human airway epithelial cells, which provides new evidence that HMGB1 contributes to neutrophilic airway inflammation by regulating IL-8 expression.</p>
