Chronic inflammation and fibrosis following quartz inhalation has been associated with persistent up-regulation of several "pro-inflammatory" genes, which are commonly regulated by nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB). Transcription of the NF-kappaB-inhibitor IkappaBalpha is also under NF-kappaB control, and its de novo synthesis is considered to comprise a negative feedback loop in transient inflammation. To investigate this mechanism in particle inflammation, we have studied IkappaBalpha degradation in A549 cells exposed to DQ12-quartz or TiO(2), in relation to the expression of IL-8. Although both quartz and TiO(2) were found to cause IkappaBalpha degradation, only quartz elicited a mild IkappaBalpha depletion, first appearing at 4 h. TiO(2) was found to cause a higher short-term increase in IkappaBalpha mRNA-expression compared to quartz, whereas the early enhancement of IL-8 expression and release was similar for both particles. Up-regulation of IL-8 expression was found to persist with quartz only. Cotreatment with PDTC and curcumin reduced particle-elicited IL-8 response, whereas cycloheximide caused enhancement of IL-8 mRNA expression in both the quartz- and TiO(2)-treated cells. Our results demonstrate that mineral dusts cause IkappaBalpha degradation, a transient increase in de novo synthesis of IkappaBalpha, and enhanced IL-8 expression in human pulmonary epithelial cells. While IkappaBalpha degradation and early IL-8 expression seem to be general particle phenomena, particle-specific characteristics impact on activation of IkappaBalpha gene transcription, apparently accounting for the different proinflammatory IL-8 responses seen with quartz and TiO(2) in the longer term. These observations may provide an explanation for the transient versus the persistent pulmonary inflammatory status and subsequent differences in pathogenic potency of TiO(2) and quartz.
