Acute respiratory virus infections are often associated with an early influx of neutrophils (PMN) into the airways. Maximal cytoxic injury by PMN depends on tight cell-cell adhesion. Infection of some cell types by respiratory and other viruses has been shown to increase PMN adhesion to these cells by undefined mechanisms. We studied adhesion by human PMN to monolayers of primary (1 degree) human tracheal epithelial cells (TEC) or an immortalized cell line derived from human TEC, 9HTEo-, that had been infected with parainfluenza virus type 2 (PiV2). PMN adhesion to uninfected 1 degree TEC was very low (< 5%), but PMN adhesion to PiV2-infected 1 degree TEC was greatly increased (89 +/- 7%). PMN adhesion to 9HTEo- cells was 47 +/- 6%, but increased, 87 +/- 8%, for PiV2-infected 9HTEo- cells. Surface intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression on 1 degree TEC, as determined by immunofluorescence flow cytometry, was relatively low (23 fluorescence units) but doubled by 24 h after PiV2 infection and tripled by 48 h. The 9HTEo- cells constitutively expressed higher levels of surface ICAM-1 (120 units) which did not increase with PiV2 infection. Treatment of non-PiV2-infected 9HTEo- cells with mAb (R6.5) to ICAM-1 reduced PMN adhesion to these cells from 47 +/- 8 to 23 +/- 5%. Identical mAb treatment of either 1 degree TEC or 9HTEo- cells infected with PiV2 had no significant effect on PMN adhesion. Treatment of the PMN with mAb against CD11a, CD11b, or CD18 markedly reduced PMN adhesion to PiV2-infected 1 degree TEC and 9HTEo- cells. We conclude that PiV2 infection of human TEC causes a marked increase in their adhesive interactions with PMN by inducing increased surface expression of both ICAM-1 and one or more, as yet uncharacterized, non-ICAM-1 adhesion molecules that function as counter-receptors for CD11/CD18 on PMN. These mechanisms of adhesion may play a role in epithelial damage during acute respiratory virus infections.
