Matrix metalloproteinases are important for proper airway matrix structure and wound healing. These enzymes are also implicated in many airway diseases. Previously, chronic ethanol consumption was shown to prolong inflammation and delay viral clearance in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-infected mice. We hypothesize that alcohol alters anti-viral immunity by disrupting immune cell chemotaxis in the lung. BALB/c mice were randomly selected to consume 18% alcoholad libitumfor 8 weeks prior to infection with RSV-2A. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cell populations were measured by flow cytometry, and chemokines were detected by Western blot or ELISA. MMP-9 levels were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in mouse lungs and in BAL fluid by ELISA. T cells were acquired from the spleens of water-fed, non-infected control mice (CTRL); alcohol-fed, non-infected (ETOH); water-fed, RSV-infected (RSV); or ethanol-fed, RSV-infected (ETOH-RSV) 4 days after RSV infection. T cells were placed in a transmigration system where chemokines had been treated with and without activated MMP-9. Lymphocyte recruitment was significantly reduced in the BAL 4 days after RSV infection in ETOH-RSV mice, whereas chemokine levels were the highest in this group at all experimental time points examined in comparison to RSV (p< 0.05). MMP-9 mRNA and protein were detected at high levels in ETOH-RSV mice compared to RSV. Usingex vivotransmigration to CCL2 and CXCL10, T cell migration was not impaired between any of the treatment groups, yet when CCL2 and CXCL10 were treated with activated MMP-9, significantly fewer T cells migrated across collagen-coated 5-μm membranes (p< 0.05). Immune cell recruitment is necessary for viral clearance. We show that immune cells are decreased in the lungs of ETOH-RSV mice. In contrast to decreased cell recruitment, key inflammatory chemokines were elevated in the lungs of ETOH-RSV mice. These proteins may be prematurely degraded by MMP-9 in the lung, leading to defective immunity and reduced viral clearance.
