The epidermal growth factor receptor ligand, amphiregulin (AREG), has been implicated in other types of epithelial injury and lung fibrosis. We investigated the effects of DA directly on the pulmonary epithelium, and we hypothesized that DA exposure would result in epithelial cell shedding of AREG. Consistent with this hypothesis, we demonstrate that DA increases AREG by the pulmonary epithelial cell line NCI-H292 and by multiple independent primary human airway epithelial donors grown under physiologically relevant conditions at the air\u2013liquid interface. Furthermore, we demonstrate that AREG shedding occurs through a TNF-\u03b1\u2013converting enzyme (TACE)-dependent mechanism via inhibition of TACE activity in epithelial cells using the small molecule inhibitor, TNF-\u03b1 protease inhibitor-1, as well as TACE-specific small inhibitor RNA. Finally, we demonstrate supportive in vivo results showing increased AREG transcript and protein levels in the lungs of rodents with DA-induced BO. In summary, our novel in vitro and in vivo observations suggest that further study of AREG is warranted in the pathogenesis of DA-induced BO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1165\/rcmb.2013-0339oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,9]],"date-time":"2014-05-09T11:03:01Z","timestamp":1399633381000},"page":"568-574","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Diacetyl
