EDITORIAL FOCUS
Neutrophil elastase induces mucin production by ligand-dependent epidermal growth factor receptor activation

Neutrophil products are implicated in hypersecretory airway diseases. To determine the mechanisms linking a proteolytic effect of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and mucin overproduction, we examined the effects of HNE on MUC5AC mucin production in human airway epithelial (NCI-H292) cells. Stimulation with HNE for 5-30 min induced MUC5AC production 24 h later, which was prevented by HNE serine active site inhibitors, implicating a proteolytic effect of HNE. MUC5AC induction was preceded by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine phosphorylation and was prevented by selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, implicating EGFR activation. HNE-induced MUC5AC production was inhibited by a neutralizing transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha , an EGFR ligand) antibody and by a neutralizing EGFR antibody but not by oxygen free radical scavengers, further implicating TGF-alpha and ligand-dependent EGFR activation in the response. HNE decreased pro-TGF-alpha in NCI-H292 cells and increased TGF-alpha in cell culture supernatant. From these results, we conclude that HNE-induced MUC5AC mucin production occurs via its proteolytic activation of an EGFR signaling cascade involving TGF-alpha .
