The interleukin (IL)-1 family member IL-33 plays a critical role in type-2 innate immune responses to allergens, and is an important mediator of allergic asthma. The mechanisms by which allergens provoke epithelial IL-33 secretion are still poorly understood. Based on previous findings indicating involvement of the NADPH oxidase DUOX1 in epithelial wound responses, we explored the potential involvement of DUOX1 in allergen-induced IL-33 secretion and potential alterations in airways of subjects with asthma. Cultured human or murine airway epithelial cells or mice were subjected to acute challenge with Alternaria alternata or house dust mite (HDM), and secretion of IL-33 and activation of subsequent type 2 responses were determined. The role of DUOX1 was explored using siRNA approaches and DUOX1-deficient mice. Cultured nasal epithelial cells from healthy or asthmatic subjects were evaluated for DUOX1 expression and allergen-induced responses. In vitro or in vivo allergen challenge resulted in rapid airway epithelial IL-33 secretion, which critically depended on DUOX1-mediated activation of epithelial epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the protease calpain-2, via a redox-dependent mechanism involving cysteine oxidation within EGFR and the tyrosine kinase Src. Primary nasal epithelial cells from subjects with allergic asthma were found to express elevated DUOX1 and IL-33, and demonstrated enhanced IL-33 secretion in response to allergen challenge compared to nasal epithelial cells from non-asthmatic subjects. Our findings implicate epithelial DUOX1 as a pivotal mediator of IL-33-dependent activation of innate airway type 2 immune responses to common airborne allergens, and indicate that enhanced DUOX1 expression and IL-33 secretion may present important contributing features of allergic asthma.
