Dexamethasone prevents the Epstein-Barr virus induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in A549 cells

Clinical data have shown that pulmonary interstitial fibrosis is likely to occur in the later stages of viral pneumonia. While viral infections are thought to cause chronic pulmonary interstitial inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis, it remains unclear if they promote pulmonary fibrosis by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this study, human epithelial cell line A549 has been used to model the infection of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Their differences were compared and the possible infection mechanisms analyzed by randomly assigning cells to one of five treatments. Exposure of the LMP1 is thought to be the key gene during EBV-induced EMT in the A549 cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis revealed that the EBV infection was associated with the induction of a number of cytokines (interleukin-8 [IL-8], IL-13, tumor necrosis factor-α, and transforming growth factor-β) and dexamethasone (DXM) could significantly prevent the phenotypic changes, and partly the mechanisms related with the IL-13 pathway. Surprisingly, different results were seen with the RSV infection as the A549 cells still displayed an epithelial morphology but the levels of E-cadherin, α-SMA, vimentin, and fibronectin did not change. This is the first study demonstrating the different reactions induced by different viruses, and the protective effects of DXM on the EBV-induced EMT in the A549 cells by partially inhibiting the IL-13 pathway. These findings suggest a novel mechanism, by which DXM or anti-IL-13 may delay the progression of pulmonary fibrosis by preventing the progress of EBV-induced EMT.
