- Abstract
We investigated the effects of sodium sulfite (NaSO) on rhinovirus (RV)-induced chemokine production in A549 airway epithelial cells. Our results demonstrated that the treatment of A549 cells with 2,500 μM NaSO enhanced the mRNA expression of RV-induced interleukin (IL)-8 1.8 fold ( p = 0.025); and regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), 2.9 fold ( p = 0.025). Moreover, the secretion of IL-8, RANTES, and interferon-γ-inducible protein (IP)-10 was increased in a statistically significant manner without affecting cell viability and RV replication. Our results suggest that NaSO may potentiate RV infection by enhancing chemokine production.
