A variety of cytokines have been detected in inflamed intestinal mucosal tissues, including the pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1 (IL-1), along with growth factors involved in wound healing processes such as proliferation and cell migration. However, little is known about how IL-1 and growth factors interact with intestinal epithelial cells to regulate the production of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-8 (IL-8). Previously, we have shown that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) could significantly enhance IL-1-stimulated IL-8 secretion by the Caco-2 colonic epithelial cell line, yet HGF, by itself, did not stimulate IL-8 secretion. In this report, a second growth factor, keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), was also found to significantly enhance IL-1-induced IL-8 secretion by Caco-2 cells, yet KGF, by itself, also had no effect. Simultaneous addition of both IL-1 and KGF was also required for the enhancing effect. Treatment of the Caco-2 cells with wortmannin or triciribine suppressed the enhancing effect of HGF, suggesting that the effect was mediated by signaling through phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) and the kinase AKT. The enhancing effect of KGF was not affected by wortmannin, but was suppressed by triciribine, suggesting that the effect of KGF was through a PI3K-independent activation of AKT. These results suggest that the growth factors HGF and KGF may play a role in enhancing IL-1-stimulated production of IL-8 by epithelial cells during mucosal inflammations. However, the mechanism by which the growth factors enhance the IL-1 response may be through different initial signaling pathways.
