Abstract
⺠We investigate the influence of a pre-existing neutrophilic inflammation on airway epithelial defense. ⺠Neutrophils increase IL-8 and ROS productions by human lung epithelial cells. ⺠The interaction involves ERK1/2 and NF-κB signaling in the epithelial cells. ⺠The interaction depends on a functional neutrophilic NADPH oxidase. ⺠Neutrophilic inflammation augments the response to inflammatory triggers.
