Enterocytes regulate gut maintenance and defence by secreting and responding to inflammatory mediators and by modulating the intestinal epithelial permeability. In order to develop an in vitro model of the acute phase of intestinal inflammation, Caco-2 cells were exposed to the inflammatory mediators IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and LPS, and the importance of several experimental parameters, i.e. cell differentiation, stimulus nature, concentration and combination on the inflammatory response was assessed by measuring the production of IL-6, IL-8, PGE-2 and NO and by evaluating the monolayer permeability. A maximal increase in IL-8, IL-6 and PGE-2 production and monolayer permeability was observed when using the cytokines simultaneously at their highest level, but this relied mainly on IL-1 beta. The effects of TNF-alpha on IL-8 and IL-6 or NO production were stronger upon combination with IL-1 beta or IFN-gamma, respectively, whereas cells were unaffected by the presence of LPS. Although NO production, induced by IFN-gamma-containing combinations, was observed only in differentiated cells, general inflammatory response was higher in proliferating cells. The use of a mixture of IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma thus accurately mimics intestinal inflammatory processes, but cell differentiation and stimuli combination are important parameters to take into account for in vitro studies on intestinal inflammation.
