RESUMO
This study examined the interleukin-8 (IL-8) response of the intestinal adenocarcinoma HCT-8 cell line to infection with enteroaggregative and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli pathotypes isolated from patients with travelers' diarrhea. Individual diarrheagenic E. coli strains (enteroaggregative E. coli [EAEC]; n = 30), heat-stable enterotoxin (ST)-producing enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC ST; n = 11), heat-labile enterotoxin (LT)-producing enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC LT; n = 10), and ST- and LT-producing enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC ST:LT; n = 8) were coincubated with HCT-8 cells for 3 h. Tissue culture supernatants were assayed for IL-8 content by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Fifty percent of EAEC (72% of those EAEC carrying the virulence factors aggR, aggA, and aspU and 40% of those EAEC not carrying virulence factors) and 64% of ETEC ST elicited IL-8 production. In contrast, 10% of ETEC LT elicited the production of IL-8 above baseline. These results suggest that (i) the HCT-8 cell line infection model can be used as a tool to differentiate proinflammatory E. coli from noninflammatory isolates; (ii) EAEC has a heterogeneous ability to induce the production of IL-8, and this may be associated with the presence of virulence factors; and (iii) ETEC ST can elicit an inflammatory response and helps explain our earlier findings of increased fecal IL-8 in patients with ETEC diarrhea.
