We investigated the impact of inflammatory signaling in airway epithelial cells on host defense against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a major cause of nosocomial pneumonia. In mice, airway instillation of P. aeruginosa resulted in NF-{kappa}B activation in the lungs that was primarily localized to the bronchial epithelium at 4 h, but was present in a variety of cell types by 24 h. We modulated NF-{kappa}B activity in airway epithelium by intratracheal delivery of adenoviral vectors expressing RelA (AdRelA) or a dominant inhibitor of NF-{kappa}B before P. aeruginosa infection. Bacterial clearance was enhanced by up-regulation of NF-{kappa}B activity following AdRelA administration and was impaired by treatment with a dominant inhibitor of NF-{kappa}B. The TNF-{alpha} concentration in lung lavage was increased by AdRelA treatment and beneficial effects of NF-{kappa}B up-regulation were abrogated in TNF-{alpha}-deficient mice. In contrast, NF-{kappa}B inhibition reduced MIP-2 expression and neutrophil influx following P. aeruginosa infection. Therefore, inflammatory signaling through the NF-{kappa}B pathway in airway epithelial cells critically regulates the innate immune response to P. aeruginosa.
