Objective: Avian influenza virus (AIV) infections first affect the respiratory tract of chickens. The epithelial cells activate the host immune system, which leads to the induction of immune-related genes and the production of antiviral molecules against external environmental pathogens. In this study, we used chicken tracheal epithelial cells (TECs) <i>in vitro</i> model to investigate the immune response of the chicken respiratory tract against avian respiratory virus infections.Methods: Eighteen-day-old embryonic chicken eggs were used to culture the primary chicken TECs. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunocytochemistry (ICC) analysis of epithelial cell-specific gene makers were performed to confirm the characteristics, morphology, and growth pattern of primary cultured chicken TECs. Moreover, to investigate the cellular immune response to AIV infection or polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly [I:C]) treatment, the TECs were infected with the H5N1 virus or poly (I:C). Then, immune responses were validated by RT-qPCR and western blotting.Results: The TECs exhibited polygonal morphology and formed colony-type cell clusters. The RT-qPCR results showed that H5N1 infection induced a significant expression of antiviral genes in TECs. We found that TECs treated with poly (I:C) and exposed to AIV infection-mediated activation of signaling pathways, leading to the production of antiviral molecules (e.g., pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines), were damaged due to the loss of junction proteins. We observed the activation of the nuclear factor kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, which are involved in inflammatory response by modulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in TECs treated with poly (I:C) and pathway inhibitors. Furthermore, our findings indicated that poly (I:C) treatment compromises the epithelial cell barrier by affecting junction proteins in the cell membrane.Conclusion: Our study highlights the utility of <i>in vitro</i> TEC models for unraveling the mechanisms of viral infection and understanding host immune responses in the chicken respiratory tract.
