AIM: To investigate the amiloride-sensitive Na~+ channel current (Iamil) in primary cultured human bronchial epithelium cells of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and the influence of interleukin 4 and interleukin 6. METHODS: Human bronchial epithelium cells were isolated and cultured from 18 patients undergone pueumonectomy in hospital. Interleukin 4 or interleukin 6 at concentration of 10 ?g/L was used to treat these cultured cells, and Iamil was measured by whole cell patch clamp techniques. RESULTS: There was no markedly difference among normal no-smoking group, normal smoking group and COPD group. Interleukin 4 down-regulated the Iamil in normal no-smoking group, normal smoking group and COPD group. The down-regulated percentages were 59.7%, 54.7% and 30.0%. Interleukin 4 down-regulated the Iamil in normal no-smoking group (44.8%) and normal smoking group (34.9%) but not in COPD group, and the current forms were not changed after IL-4 or IL-6 treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Interleukin 4 and interleukin 6 down-regulated the Iamil in primary cultured human bronchial epithelium cells. It may contribute to the hypersecretion of COPD, and the up-regulated interleukin 4 and interleukin 6 in COPD patients may cause them react weaker to the treatment of interleukin 4 and interleukin 6.

AIM: To study the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on adhesion and migration of human airway epithelial cells and it's mechanism. METHODS: After 24 h culture, the airway epithelial cells were treated with different concentrations of CSE. The rate of cell attachment and the velocity of cell migration were measured. The expression of FIP200 mRNA and protein were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: CSE inhibited the rate of cell attachment and the velocity of cell migration. Meanwhile CSE increased the expression level of FIP200 mRNA and FIP200 protein. The effects of CSE became more evident with increased concentration of CSE. Expression of FIP200 mRNA and FIP200 protein were positively correlated to the decreased rate of cell attachment and the velocity of cell migration. CONCLUSION: CSE inhibits the rate of cell attachment, the velocity of cell migration and increases the expression of FIP200.
