This study examines the ability of HT-29 human colonic epithelial cells to stimulate neutrophil migration and adhesion. Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a potent neutrophil chemoattractant, was detected in conditioned media from both unstimulated (1.1 ng/ml) and IL-1 beta-stimulated (16.1 ng/ml) HT-29 cultures. Conditioned medium from IL-1 beta-exposed HT-29 cells stimulated neutrophil migration (395% of control, P < 0.01), and this effect was completely inhibited by anti-IL-8 antibody. HT-29 medium also induced shedding of neutrophil L-selectin and increased expression of neutrophil CD11/CD18 adhesion receptors. Coculture of HT-29 cells with human endothelial cell monolayers resulted in increased neutrophil transendothelial migration (169% of control, P < 0.01), which was blocked by both anti-IL-8 and anti-CD18 antibody. Northern hybridization analysis demonstrated increased levels of mRNA for IL-8 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in cytokine-treated HT-29 cells. Cytokine stimulation of HT-29 monolayers was also associated with increased neutrophil adhesion to these cells. Neutrophil-HT-29 cell adhesion was blocked by monoclonal antibodies to neutrophil CD18 or to ICAM-1 on the HT-29 cells (86% and 56% inhibition, respectively, P < 0.01 for both). These data suggest that IL-8 secretion by activated colonic epithelial cells may contribute to neutrophil extravasation and tissue infiltration in intestinal inflammation.
