Abstract
Studies in the rat have pointed to a role for intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in the pathogenesis of acute tubular necrosis. These studies used antibodies, which may have nonspecific effects. We report that renal ICAM-1 mRNA levels and systemic levels of the cytokines IL-1 and TNF-alpha increase 1 h after ischemia/ reperfusion in the mouse. We sought direct proof for a critical role for ICAM-1 in the pathophysiology of ischemic renal failure using mutant mice genetically deficient in ICAM-1. ICAM-1 is undetectable in mutant mice in contrast with normal mice, in which ICAM-1 is prominent in the endothelium of the vasa recta. Mutant mice are protected from acute renal ischemic injury as judged by serum creatinine, renal histology, and animal survival . Renal leukocyte infiltration, quantitated morphologically and by measuring tissue myeloperoxidase, was markedly less in ICAM-1-deficient than control mice. To evaluate whether prevention of neutrophil infiltration could be responsible for the protection observed in the mutant mice, we treated normal mice with antineutrophil serum to reduce absolute neutrophil counts to < 100 cells/mm3. These neutrophil-depleted animals were protected against ischemic renal failure. Anti-1CAm-1 antibody protected normal mice against renal ischemic injury but did not provide additional protection to neutrophil-depleted animals. Thus, ICAM-1 is a key mediator of ischemic acute renal failure likely acting via potentiation of neutrophilendothelial interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IIR) induces hepatic and pulmonary dysfunction and thus has been used as a model of multiple organ failure syndrome. This study examines the hypothesis that hepatic blood flow is markedly reduced in this injury model. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 120 minutes of intestinal ischemia and 60 minutes of reperfusion (IIR). Hepatic blood flow was measured with radiolabeled microspheres and Doppler flow probes. Hepatic dysfunction was quantitated by measuring bile flow and serum alanine aminotransferase and hepatic tissue adenosine triphosphate levels. Sham-operated animals served as controls. RESULTS Intestinal ischemia reduced portal flow by 66% when compared with sham-operated animals (p = 0.0001) but had no effect on hepatic arterial flow. In contrast, reperfusion reduced hepatic artery flow by 80% when compared with controls (p = 0.002) with most of this change occurring within 5 minutes of reperfusion. IIR induced a 63% reduction in bile flow (p < 0.05), a fivefold rise in serum alanine aminotransferase level (p < 0.0002), and a 33% reduction in hepatic adenosine triphosphate level (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that IIR induces profound hepatic hypoperfusion, which is temporally related to acute hepatic dysfunction. This observation suggests that hepatic ischemia may contribute to IIR-induced liver injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multisystem organ dysfunction frequently occurs following obstructive jaundice, but its etiology remains unclear. This study was undertaken to evaluate the role for endogenous tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production in the renal and pulmonary injury that accompanies obstructive jaundice. METHODS Two hundred and twenty C57BL/6 mice underwent ligation and division of the common bile duct or a sham celiotomy. The animals were randomized to receive either placebo or 1 mg/kg BW (low dose) or 15 mg/kg BW (high dose) of a novel TNF-alpha inhibitor comprised of two extracellular domains of the p55 TNF receptor linked together with polyethylene glycol. Serum bilirubin, creatinine, and urea nitrogen were determined. TNF-alpha bioactivity in plasma and organs was determined using the WEHI 164 clone 13 cytotoxicity assay. The TNF-alpha messenger RNA was detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Neutrophil infiltration into the lungs and kidney were quantitated by the myeloperoxidase assay. RESULTS Common bile duct ligation and division resulted in rapid and sustained increases in serum bilirubin, creatinine, and urea nitrogen, peaking 2 to 5 days later. Hepatic TNF-alpha production was detected in the liver within 8 hours following obstructive jaundice, but TNF-alpha production could not be detected in the kidney or lung at any time point. Increased neutrophil infiltration occurred in the lung following obstructive jaundice peaking 5 days after obstructive jaundice. This neutrophil infiltration into the lungs could be partially inhibited (62%, P < 0.05) by administration of the novel TNF inhibitor. In contrast, neither renal nor hepatic dysfunction were affected by TNF-alpha blockade. CONCLUSIONS Hepatic TNF-alpha production is an integral component of the response to obstructive jaundice. A TNF-alpha-mediated inflammatory response occurs in the lungs as a result of obstructive jaundice; however, renal and hepatic dysfunction do not appear to be TNF-alpha dependent since they cannot be affected by TNF-alpha blockade.

Abstract
Administration of Salmonella enteritidis endotoxin (0.5 mg ET/kg) during reperfusion (RP) after short-term hepatic ischemia (20 min) caused severe liver injury induced by Kupffer cells and neutrophils and a high mortality rate. To investigate potential lung damage in this model, lung wet-to-dry weight ratios (W/D) and broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) protein content were determined after 4 h of reperfusion. Both parameters increased significantly during RP/ET (W/D: 4.4 +/- 0.1; BAL: 639 +/- 30 micrograms/ml) compared to controls (W/D: 3.5 +/- 0.1; BAL: 332 +/- 17). The antioxidants Trolox or tirilazad mesylate (U-74006F) effectively reduced the BAL protein increase. Alveolar macrophages were not activated; however, neutrophils isolated from the lung microvasculature of RP/ET animals showed a 300% increase of spontaneous and PMA-induced superoxide formation compared to controls (spontaneous: 1.4 +/- 0.5 nmol O2-/h/10(6) cells; PMA: 2.2 +/- 0.4). Complement factors and TNF-alpha injection induced a similar priming of vascular neutrophils for superoxide generation. Vascular neutrophil activation highly correlated with the severity of lung injury. It is concluded that neutrophils accumulated in the lung microvasculature were the major source of the oxidant stress and mainly responsible for lung injury under these conditions. Antioxidants such as tirilazad mesylate (U-74006F) may have therapeutic potential for attenuating lung injury induced by remote organ trauma and a systemic inflammatory response.

Abstract
Kupffer cell-derived cytokines are believed to play pivotal paracrine roles in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). To evaluate this hypothesis, Kupffer cell gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), interleukin (IL)-6, and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF beta 1) were directly examined in the rat model of ALD. Kupffer cells were isolated from the model after 10 and 17 weeks of intragastric ethanol infusion. These two durations resulted in focal hepatocellular injury and liver fibrogenesis, respectively. Oxidative stress as assessed by the hepatic level of thiobarbituric acid reacting substances, was evident at 10 weeks but more pronounced at 17 weeks. The steady state messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of the cytokines were examined by Northern blot analysis using RNA samples from freshly isolated Kupffer cells, and the release of the cytokines was quantitated ex vivo using a 3-day culture. The mRNA levels of TNF alpha and TGF beta 1 were significantly increased by 183% and 204% at 10 weeks and 231% and 295% at 17 weeks in the ethanol-fed rats, respectively. Ex vivo release of TNF activity by control Kupffer cells was undetectable or very low (< 2U/10(5) cells/18 hours) at both time points, but the cells from the ethanol-fed animals secreted appreciably more TNF (27.8 +/- 7.6 U at 10 weeks and 40.4 +/- 10.3 U at 17 weeks). The release of the latent TGF beta 1 protein was also coordinately increased by 143% at 10 weeks and 238% at 17 weeks.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This study compared mortality rates, endotoxaemia, systemic tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL)-6 concentrations after continuous and intermittent hepatic ischaemia. Two groups of rats were subjected to continuous or intermittent left hepatic inflow occlusion for a total period of 120 min in each group. Intermittent ischaemia was associated with significantly lower mortality rates than continuous ischaemia (four of 20 versus 15 of 20; P = 0.0015). In a separate study, again following 120 min continuous or intermittent ischaemia, systemic blood was sampled at 0 min, 1 h, 3 h and 5 h after final clamp release for measurement of endotoxin, TNF and IL-6 concentrations. Endotoxin concentrations were significantly lower at 1 h, as were TNF and IL-6 concentrations at 3 and 5 h, after final clamp release in the group having intermittent ischaemia (P < 0.05). Intermittent ischaemia is associated therefore with significantly reduced mortality rates and lower systemic endotoxin, TNF and IL-6 concentrations when compared with continuous ischaemia.

Abstract
Interleukin-10 is a potent macrophage-deactivating cytokine that inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor production. We determined the plasma levels of immunoreactive interleukin-10 in 16 patients with septic shock and in 11 patients with circulatory shock of nonseptic origin. In septic shock, interleukin-10 levels peaked during the first 24 h (median: 48 pg/ml) and decreased progressively till Day 5. In nonseptic shock, interleukin-10 plasma levels also increased during the first 24 h but to a lesser extent (median: 17 pg/ml). In septic shock patients, interleukin-10 plasma levels were positively correlated with tumor necrosis factor (r = 0.8, p = 0.01) and with parameters of shock severity including lactate levels (r = 0.56, p < 0.05) and correlated negatively with blood platelet counts (r = -0.65, p < 0.05). The decreased production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 after in vitro incubation of whole blood from septic shock patients with lipopolysaccharide was not influenced by in vitro neutralization of interleukin-10. We conclude that interleukin-10 is produced in patients with circulatory shock of septic and nonseptic origin and that the production of this anti-inflammatory cytokine during septic shock correlates positively with the intensity of the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Kupffer cells (KC) become activated in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and produce a variety of mediators. Among them, TNF alpha is known to injure the liver. Here we report that TNF alpha mediates apoptosis in KC and sinusoidal endothelial cells. After stimulation for 24 h with LPS (0-10 micrograms/mL), apoptosis in KC detected by TUNEL TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labelling (TUNEL) increased in a concentration-dependent manner (0 micrograms/mL, 12 +/- 4%; 0.1 microgram/mL, 36 +/- 11%; 1.0 micrograms/mL, 65 +/- 9%; 10 micrograms/mL, 78 +/- 15%). In contrast, co-incubation of endothelial cells with LPS-stimulated KC resulted in a marked increase in TUNEL-positive endothelial cells. TNF alpha antibody blocked apoptosis in both KC and endothelial cells. Apoptosis was observed in cells adjacent to or in contact with KC. Reducing transmembrane TNF alpha expressed on KC also led to a decrease in endothelial cell apoptosis, suggesting that transmembrane TNF alpha is implicated in the cell-to-cell contact mechanism of induction of apoptosis. Thus, TNF alpha mediates apoptosis in KC and endothelial cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the possible role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the development of lung injury after bowel ischemia, and the ability of TNF-soluble receptors to negate TNF toxicity, using a rat small bowel ischemia and reperfusion model. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled laboratory study. SETTING Research laboratory. SUBJECTS Forty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing approximately 300 g. INTERVENTIONS The rats were divided equally into four groups: a) ischemia and reperfusion alone; b) those animals receiving TNF antibodies (1 mL) before reperfusion; and c) those animals receiving 200 micrograms of human recombinant TNF soluble receptors. These 30 anesthetized rats underwent 60 mins of superior mesenteric artery occlusion per 4 hrs of reperfusion. The remaining ten animals were sham operated (laparotomy), serving as controls. Lung permeability was measured using bovine serum albumin labeled with 125I, and organ injury was assessed histologically. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Thirty and 60 mins after declamping and reperfusion, plasma TNF concentrations increased to 830 +/- 66 and 173 +/- 56 pg/mL, respectively, compared with 10 pg/mL before ischemia (p < .001). In sham-operated control rats, TNF concentrations did not increase from baseline concentrations. Four hours after reperfusion, sequestration of neutrophils in the pulmonary microcirculation was noted (319 +/- 60 vs. 84 +/- 13 neutrophils/10 high-power fields in sham-operated rats [p < .04]). Pulmonary microvascular leak also occurred, as measured by translocation of radiolabeled albumin into the bronchoalveolar space and expressed as the ratio of bronchoalveolar lavage to blood concentrations. This ratio was 5.3 +/- 0.8 in ischemic control animals compared with 1.1 +/- 0.3 in sham animals (p < .03). Treatment with antibodies to TNF before reperfusion attenuated the pulmonary injury (75 +/- 6 neutrophils/10 high-power fields, permeability index 1.6 +/- 0.1) less than in ischemic controls (p < .005). A similar protection was achieved with soluble TNF receptors, which prevented bowel ischemia-induced lung neutrophil sequestration (117 +/- 35 neutrophils/10 high-power fields, pulmonary vascular leak ratio of 2.3 +/- 0.1, p < .05). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study show that ischemia and subsequent reperfusion of the intestine in rats produce lung injury. This injury is mediated, at least in part, by TNF. Soluble TNF receptors are an effective tool in preventing lung TNF injury after intestinal ischemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of glycosylated recombinant human tumor necrosis factor binding protein-1 (r-hTNF binding protein-1), the extracellular domain of the tumor necrosis factor receptor p55 produced in mammalian cells, in a rabbit model of circulatory shock due to Escherichia coli. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING University hospital research laboratory. SUBJECTS Eighteen female, New Zealand white rabbits. INTERVENTIONS Anesthetized rabbits, infused with E. coli (10(9) organisms/kg), were pretreated with either r-hTNF binding protein-1 or saline. Mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, cardiac output, and heart rate were recorded every 20 mins for 1 hr before, and for 4 hrs after, the infusion of E. coli. Blood samples were obtained at 1-hr intervals for platelet count and white blood cell count, r-hTNF binding protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) measurements. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Administration of r-hTNF binding protein-1 resulted in improvement of mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance, as compared with the vehicle-treated group (p < .05). Treatment with r-hTNF binding protein-1 was associated with 100% survival, as compared with 55.6% of the saline-treated rabbits (p < .05). Approximately 85% of r-hTNF binding protein-1 was cleared from the circulation 1 hr after the bolus injection (from 171 +/- 27 micrograms/mL at time = 0, to 27 +/- 4 micrograms/mL at 60 mins, decreasing to 6 +/- 2 micrograms/mL for the next 3 hrs). The r-hTNF binding protein-1-treated rabbits had lower serum TNF bioactivity during the first 2 hrs (p < .01). The decreased bioactivity of TNF was confirmed by a specific radioimmunoassay for rabbit TNF. However, at 4 hrs, the vehicle-treated rabbits had lower serum bioactive TNF concentrations (p < .05). The decrease in TNF concentrations in the r-hTNF binding protein-1-treated rabbits resulted from decreased production and, in part, from carry-over of r-hTNF binding protein-1 into the bioassay. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with r-hTNF binding protein-1 improved hemodynamic variables and survival of E. coli-challenged rabbits. Administration of r-hTNF binding protein-1 suppressed bioactivity of TNF in the circulation of these rabbits, and the production of TNF as well.

Abstract
Anticytokine therapies have been promulgated in gram-negative sepsis as a means of preventing or neutralizing excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines. However, systemic administration of cytokine inhibitors is an inefficient means of targeting excessive production in individual tissue compartments. In the present study, human gene transfer was used to deliver to organs of the reticuloendothelial system antagonists that either inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) synthesis or block its interactions with cellular receptors. Mice were treated intraperitoneally with cationic liposomes containing 200 micrograms of either a pCMV (cytomegalovirus)/p55 expression plasmid that contains the extracellular domain and transmembrane region of the human p55 TNF receptor, or a pcD-SR-alpha/hIL-10 expression plasmid containing the DNA for human interleukin 10. 48 h later, mice were challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and D-galactosamine. Pretreatment of mice with p55 or IL-10 cDNA-liposome complexes improved survival (p < 0.01) to LPS-D-galactosamine. In additional studies, intratracheal administration of IL-10 DNA-liposome complexes 48 h before an intratracheal LPS challenge reduced pulmonary TNF-alpha levels by 62% and decreased neutrophil infiltration in the lung by 55% as measured by myeloperoxidase activity (both p < 0.05). Gene transfer with cytokine inhibitors is a promising option for the treatment of both the systemic and local sequelae of septic shock.

Abstract
Chronic rejection results from recurrent episodes of subclinical or clinically evident acute rejection, with or without involvement of chronic rejection-specific allogeneic immune mechanisms. The tissue damage occurs over a prolonged period of time, which allows the emergence of antigen-independent tissue repair mechanisms and intrarenal adaptations in response to progressive loss of renal mass (Fig. 1). The combination of these mechanisms leads, very likely, to the tissue remodeling of chronic rejection. The heterogeneous expression of chronic rejection may result from different types and specificities of allogeneic immune reactions as well as different contributions of antigen-independent factors that modulate the antigen-dependent tissue responses to injury. The extent to which these mechanisms participate in the overall picture is presently unknown as immunological parameters are not measured routinely in the follow-up of patients with chronic graft dysfunction. Furthermore, some grafts may undergo tissue remodeling as a consequence of predominantly antigen-independent mechanisms. Therefore, the term chronic allograft dysfunction may clinically be preferable over chronic rejection to describe the gradual decline in graft function months or years after transplantation in the absence of a well-defined mechanism or an accepted treatment.

Abstract
The pathologic picture in ischemic tissue injury shares features with the inflammatory response, including production of proinflammatory cytokines. Hypoxia-mediated induction of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine with anti-inflammatory properties, could set in motion mechanisms limiting inflammation in ischemia. Exposure of cultured endothelial cells (ECs) to H (pO2 approximately 12-16 torr) increased transcription of IL-6, elevated levels of IL-6 mRNA, and induced elaboration of IL-6 antigen in a time-dependent manner. Exposure of mice to hypoxia increased IL-6 transcripts in the lung, and immunostaining revealed a striking increase in IL-6 antigen in pulmonary vasculature. Transfection of ECs with deletion chimeric IL-6 promoter-chloramphenicol acetyl-transferase (CAT) constructs showed hypoxia-mediated 9-11-fold induction with -1200/+13, -596/+13, and -225/+13 but no induction with -111/+13. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) using -225/-111 as the labeled probe demonstrated enhanced binding activity in nuclear extracts of hypoxic ECs and lung; the appearance of the gel shift band was prevented by excess unlabeled probe (-225/-111), and hypoxia-mediated enhancement of the band was blocked by a probe corresponding to the nuclear factor (NF)-IL-6 site (-158/-145). The hypoxia-enhanced band on EMSA displayed a supershift with antibody to CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBP-beta), but antibody to C/EBP-alpha or -delta was without effect. Transfection of ECs with a construct comprising thymidine kinase promoter, -225/-111 in either the 5' to 3' to 5' orientation, and the reporter CAT showed this region to be an enhancer (approximately 8-fold) under hypoxia. EMSA with the NF-IL-6 probe revealed a prominent induction of binding activity with nuclear extracts from hypoxic ECs and whole lung. Constructs with -158/-145 and the CAT reporter gene showed induction when transfected into hypoxic ECs, whereas a similar construct with the NF-IL-6 motif mutationally inactivated failed to display hypoxia-induced expression. Furthermore, the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene, whose product contributes to ischemic pathology and contains a putative regulatory NF-IL-6 site, demonstrated enhanced binding activity for its NF-IL-6 motif and induction of TNF mRNA based on analysis of hypoxic lung. These data indicate that hypoxia induces expression of IL-6, most likely a result of hypoxic activation at the NF-IL-6 site, and suggest that other genes with regulatory NF-IL-6 sites may also be induced by a similar mechanism.

Abstract
Cerebral infarction (stroke) is a potentially disastrous complication of diabetes mellitus, principally because the extent of cortical loss is greater in diabetic patients than in nondiabetic patients. The etiology of this enhanced neurotoxicity is poorly understood. We hypothesized that advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), which have previously been implicated in the development of other diabetic complications, might contribute to neurotoxicity and brain damage during ischemic stroke. Using a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia, we show that systemically administered AGE-modified bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) significantly increased cerebral infarct size. The neurotoxic effects of AGE-BSA administration were dose- and time-related and associated with a paradoxical increase in cerebral blood flow. Aminoguanidine, an inhibitor of AGE cross-linking, attenuated infarct volume in AGE-treated animals. We conclude that AGEs may contribute to the increased severity of stroke associated with diabetes and other conditions characterized by AGE accumulation.

Abstract
Thrombosis and inflammation are closely related. However, the response of the vein wall to venous thrombosis has been poorly documented. This study examines the hypothesis that venous thrombosis is associated with an inflammatory response in the vein wall. In a rat model of inferior vena caval thrombosis, vein wall was temporally examined for inflammation by assessment of histopathology, leukocyte morphometrics, and cytokine levels. Animals were killed 1 hour and 1, 3, and 6 days after thrombus induction. Our findings demonstrated an early (day 1) neutrophil infiltration into the vein wall followed by a later (days 3 and 6) monocyte/macrophage and lymphocyte response. Cytokines were elevated only under conditions of venous thrombosis. Levels of epithelial neutrophil activating protein-78 (ENA-78), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), interleukin-6, and JE/monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (JE/MCP-1) increased over the 6-day period, while macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) peaked at day 3 after thrombus induction. Additionally, rats were passively immunized with neutralizing antibodies to TNF, ENA-78, MIP-1 alpha, JE/MCP-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and CD18 compared with control antibodies. The most effective antibody early after thrombus induction for attenuating vein wall neutrophil extravasation was anti-TNF (P < .01). The monocyte/macrophage extravasation was inhibited most by anti-ICAM-1 followed by anti-TNF (P < .01). These findings demonstrate that venous thrombosis is associated with significant vein wall inflammation that is partially inhibited by neutralizing antibodies to cytokines and adhesion molecules.

Abstract
Intravenous infusion of particulate yeast cell wall glucan into rats results in the synchronous development of angiocentric pulmonary granulomas that are composed almost entirely of monocytes and macrophages. Previous studies indicate that locally produced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is required for full granuloma development. Because tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 1 (IL-1) can induce MCP-1 production in a variety of cell types, we sought to determine their potential regulatory roles in this model. A single infusion of anti-TNF-alpha antibody at the time of glucan infusion (time 0) markedly reduced MCP-1 mRNA levels at 1 and 6 hours but not at later time points; there was no effect on granuloma size or number measured at 48 hours. When multiple infusions of anti-TNF-alpha antibody were administered over a 23-hour period (0 to 23 hours), MCP-1 mRNA was reduced through 24 hours, there was a significant reduction in peak bronchoalveolar lavage fluid MCP-1 activity at 48 hours, and there were marked reductions in granuloma size and number at 48 hours. Similar results were observed in animals that received infusions of anti-IL-1 beta. Infusion of anti-IL-1 beta at time 0 resulted in moderate reductions in MCP-1 mRNA at 1 and 6 hours and had no effect on granuloma size or number measured at 48 hours. When multiple infusions of anti-IL-1 beta were administered over a 23-hour period (0 to 23 hours), MCP-1 mRNA was reduced through 24 hours, there was a moderate reduction in peak bronchoalveolar lavage fluid MCP-1 activity at 48 hours, and there were marked reductions in granuloma size and number at 48 hours. A single infusion of anti-TNF-alpha and anti-IL-1 beta together at time 0 resulted in marked reductions in whole lung MCP-1 and mRNA at 1 and 6 hours, but not at 24 hours. Multiple combined infusions of anti-TNF-alpha and anti-IL-1 beta over a 23-hour period resulted in additive reductions in MCP-1 mRNA through 24 hours, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid MCP-1 activity at 48 hours, and granuloma size and number at 48 hours. These data suggest that locally produced TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta play regulatory roles in glucan-induced pulmonary granulomatous vasculitis through the modulation of local MCP-1 production.

Abstract
Although liver transplantation has been the subject of intensive investigation, comparatively little is known regarding the effects of this procedure on the metabolism of xenobiotics. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of orthotopic liver transplantation on rat hepatic, pulmonary, and renal microsomal cytochrome P450 (P450) monooxygenase activity through the use of isozyme-selective substrates. Pulmonary microsomal P450 1A1 dependent 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (ERFD) activity increased over time in recipient rats, with maximal induction (750% of donor) observed after 21 days. Similarly, ERFD activity in renal microsomes was increased (200% of donor) after 21 days. Both pulmonary and renal microsomal P450 2B dependent 7-pentoxyresorufin O-depentylation (PRFD) activity was decreased (50 and 75% of donor) 1 day after transplantation but was essentially unchanged 3, 7, and 21 days after transplantation. Pulmonary and renal microsomal heme oxygenase activities were not significantly affected by liver transplantation. In contrast, total hepatic microsomal P450 concentrations were decreased maximally (to 45% of donor concentration) 7 days after transplantation and remained low (55% of donor) up to 21 days. Similarly, hepatic P450 1A dependent ERFD and P450 2B dependent PRFD activities were maximally depressed (20 and 25% of donor activities) after 7 days and remained low (75 and 30% of donor) up to 21 days after transplantation. The decreases in rates of hepatic P450 monooxygenation were accompanied by significant increases in microsomal heme oxygenase activity. The data presented in this study suggest the existence of generalized stress responses to inflammation that result in tissue- and isozyme-selective modulation of P450 monooxygenase activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The liver is highly susceptible to a number of pathological insults, including ischemia/reperfusion injury. One of the striking consequences of liver injury is the associated pulmonary dysfunction that may be related to the release of hepatic-derived cytokines. We have previously employed an animal model of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury, and demonstrated that this injury causes the production and release of hepatic-derived TNF, which mediates a neutrophil-dependent pulmonary microvascular injury. In this study, we have extended these previous observations to assess whether an interrelationship between TNF and the neutrophil chemoattractant/activating factor, epithelial neutrophil activating protein-78 (ENA-78), exists that may be accountable for the pathology of lung injury found in this model. In the context of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury, we demonstrated the following alterations in lung pathophysiology: (a) an increase in pulmonary microvascular permeability, lung neutrophil sequestration, and production of pulmonary-derived ENA-78; (b) passive immunization with neutralizing TNF antiserum resulted in a significant suppression of pulmonary-derived ENA-78; and (c) passive immunization with neutralizing ENA-78 antiserum resulted in a significant attenuation of pulmonary neutrophil sequestration and microvascular permeability similar to our previous studies with anti-TNF. These findings support the notion that pulmonary ENA-78 produced in response to hepatic-derived TNF is an important mediator of lung injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the hemodynamic and oxygen transport patterns in survivors and nonsurvivors following liver transplantation (LT) and to assess their relationship to organ failure and mortality. DESIGN Retrospective cohort. SETTING Surgical ICU in a tertiary care university teaching hospital. PATIENTS Consecutive series of 113 adults undergoing LT between 1984 and 1992. Patients were excluded if they died intraoperatively (n = 2), required retransplantation (n = 8), or their records were incomplete (n = 7). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Preoperative severity of illness was assessed by the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II scoring system. Hemodynamic and oxygen transport variables were recorded immediately preoperatively and sequentially every 12 h during the first 2 postoperative days. Organ failures (pulmonary, renal, cardiovascular, hepatic, and central nervous system) were assessed for patients in the postoperative period. Patients were grouped as survivors (n = 82) or nonsurvivors (n = 14) with a mortality rate of 15%. Preoperative APACHE II scores were significantly lower in survivors compared with nonsurvivors (7 +/- 0 vs 11 +/- 2; p = 0.029). Both preoperatively and postoperatively, survivors sustained a relatively higher mean arterial pressure, stroke volume index, left ventricular stroke work index, cardiac index, and oxygen delivery as compared with nonsurvivors (p < 0.01). The postoperative decline in systemic blood flow that was seen in both groups was particularly prominent in nonsurvivors during the first 12 h following LT (p < 0.03). Nonsurvivors sustained an approximately fivefold increase in the rate of organ failure (p < 0.0001); all patients (n = 6) with 4 or more organ failures died. CONCLUSION Nonsurvivors of LT have less cardiac reserve pretransplant; postoperatively, they demonstrate early myocardial depression and subsequently lower levels of cardiac index and oxygen delivery. Patients who develop these hemodynamic patterns are more prone to organ failure and death.

Abstract
Kupffer cells are important for host defence against both foreign invaders and neoplasia. Several studies have demonstrated that ischaemia and reperfusion activates Kupffer cells. The effect of hepatic arterial ischaemia on Kupffer cell function was assessed using blood clearance and organ uptake of radiolabelled Escherichia coli. Transient ischaemia for 1 h did not alter Kupffer cell function in comparison with sham operation. However, prolonging arterial ischaemia for 2 h stimulated Kupffer cell function; both the phagocytic index and liver uptake of radiolabelled E. coli increased significantly (P < 0.01). Furthermore, this enhanced Kupffer cell activity was achieved each time the ischaemia was induced over a period of 5 days compared with repeated sham procedures (P < 0.05). Serum tumour necrosis factor (TNF) was significantly released after both single and repeated arterial occlusion for 2 h (P < 0.01). These observations show that transient arterial ischaemia enhances Kupffer cell function and induces TNF production.

Abstract
To elucidate mechanisms underlying neuroprotective properties of astrocytes in brain ischemia, production of neurotrophic mediators was studied in astrocytes exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Rat astrocytes subjected to H/R released increased amounts of interleukin (IL) 6 in a time-dependent manner, whereas levels of tumor necrosis factor and IL-1 remained undetectable. IL-6 transcripts were induced in hypoxia and the early phase of reoxygenation, whereas synthesis and release of IL-6 antigen/activity occurred during reoxygenation. Elevated levels of IL-6 mRNA were due, at least in part, to increased transcription, as shown by nuclear runoff analysis. The mechanism stimulating synthesis and release of IL-6 antigen by astrocytes was probably production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs), which occurred within 15-20 minutes after placing hypoxia cultures back into normoxia, as the inhibitor diphenyl iodonium inhibited the burst of ROIs and subsequent IL-6 generation (blockade of nitric oxide formation had no effect on ROI generation or IL-6 production). Enhanced IL-6 generation was also observed in human astrocytoma cultures exposed to H/R. Survival of differentiated PC12 cells exposed to H/R was potentiated by conditioned medium from H/R astrocytes, an effect blocked by neutralizing anti-IL-6 antibody. In a gerbil model of brain ischemia, IL-6 activity was lower in the hippocampus, an area sensitive to ischemia, compared with IL-6 activity in the cortex, an area more resistant to ischemia. IL-6 antigen, demonstrated immunohistochemically, was increased in astrocytes from ischemic regions of gerbil brain. These data suggest that H/R enhances transcription of IL-6, resulting in increased translation and release of IL-6 antigen after the burst of ROI generated early during reoxygenation. Release of IL-6 from astrocytes could exert a paracrine neurotrophic effect in brain ischemia.

Abstract
Infusion of endotoxin elicits granulocytopenia followed by increased numbers of granulocytes in peripheral blood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the redistribution and sequestration of granulocytes in the tissues following E. coli endotoxin induced sepsis. From 16 rabbits granulocytes were isolated, labelled with Indium and reinjected intravenously. Eight rabbits received an infusion of E. coli endotoxin 2 micrograms kg-1 while eight received isotonic saline. The redistribution of granulocytes was imaged with a gamma camera and calculated with a connected computer before and 2 and 6 hours after infusion of endotoxin or saline. Serum cortisol and interleukin-1 beta were measured. In another seven rabbits, respiratory burst activity and degranulation of granulocytes were measured prior to and from 5 min to 6 hours after infusion of E. coli endotoxin 2 micrograms kg-1 BW. Following infusion of endotoxin, the number of granulocytes in peripheral blood decreased from 2.44 to 0.064 x 10 l-1 two hours later. Within 5 min after infusion the overall oxidative burst of the peripheral blood granulocytes was increased and the granularity had decreased. Serum cortisol and interleukin-1 beta increased significantly. The radioactivity of labelled cells in the bone marrow and spleen decreased to 83.1% and 91.6% of initial values. At the same time there was a transient sequestration of labelled granulocytes in the lungs reaching 117.6% of initial values. The radioactivity of the liver increased continuously to 118.4%. The results indicate that endotoxin induces an efflux in activated granulocytes from peripheral blood, bone marrow and spleen to the lungs and liver.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Allogeneic recognition of donor cells by host T lymphocytes requires the expression of cytokine-dependent molecules, such as class II major histocompatibility antigens, intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3). In the liver, activation of Kupffer cells after ischemic injury during the transplantation procedure may result in an early induction of cytokine-dependent molecules. METHODS The pattern of induction of ICAM-1, HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, and LFA-3 was investigated in 30 postreperfusion surgical biopsy specimens of liver allografts by an immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS Two patterns of induction were observed: focal or diffuse. On hepatocytes, ICAM-1 was induced in 22 cases (11 focal, 11 diffuse), HLA-DR in 18 cases (13 focal, 5 diffuse), HLA-DQ in 13 cases (3 focal, 10 diffuse), and LFA-3 in 1 case (focal). On bile duct cells, HLA-DR was expressed in 19 cases, associated with HLA-DQ in 7 cases. No induction of ICAM-1 and LFA-3 was detected. Compared with the other patients, the group of patients with diffuse postoperative hepatocellular induction of ICAM-1 was characterized by higher preharvesting serum transaminase levels in the donor (P < or = 0.001), suggestive of preoperative ischemic injury, and increased incidence of acute graft rejection (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative warm ischemia may modify the immunogenicity of liver allografts.

Abstract
Rat liver was kept at 4 degrees C or 37 degrees C in MEM, and reperfused through a closed circulation from the hepatic vein to the portal vein at 37 degrees C with the same solution. Although purine nucleoside phosphorylase and ALT activities were increased in the perfusate, depending on the duration of ischemia at both 4 degrees C and 37 degrees C, the ratio of the latter to the former was significantly higher after 37 degrees C-ischemia than after 4 degrees C-ischemia. The stimulation stage of Kupffer cells evaluated in situ by formazan deposition after liver perfusion with nitro blue tetrazolium and phorbol myristate acetate was elevated after 4 degrees C-ischemia longer than 1 h, but not after 37 degrees C-ischemia. In contrast, the degree of oxidative stress in hepatocytes assessed by formazan deposition after liver perfusion with nitro blue tetrazolium alone was greater after 37 degrees C-ischemia than after 4 degrees C-ischemia. These results suggest that oxidative stress in hepatocytes and the stimulatory state of Kupffer cells after ischemia-reperfusion may differ between 4 degrees C-ischemia and 37 degrees C-ischemia, probably leading to different development of liver damage.

Abstract
To elucidate the role of Kupffer cells in ischemia-reperfusion-induced hepatic injury, hepatic injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion was analyzed after modulation of Kupffer cell function. Ischemia of the liver was performed by occlusion of both the portal vein and hepatic artery, which enter into the left lateral and median lobes of the liver. Blood flow in the ischemic lobe was reduced, in contrast to an increased blood flow in the nonischemic lobe during occlusion of the veins. Although hepatocyte damage was not demonstrated by ischemia for < 60 min, hepatic injury was found after reperfusion of the liver, and activation of Kupffer cells was morphologically demonstrated by electron microscopies. Suppression of Kupffer cells, induced by previous administration of gadolinium chloride or latex particles, reduced the grade of hepatic injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion. On the other hand, stimulation of Kupffer cell phagocytosis, induced by administration of latex particles at the time of reperfusion, aggravated the ischemia-reperfusion-induced hepatotoxicity, which was then reduced by simultaneous administration of superoxide dismutase. Kupffer cells, isolated from the rats treated with the ischemia-reperfusion procedure, have been found to release increased amounts of oxygen radical intermediates. These results suggest that hepatic injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion is modulated by the function of Kupffer cells and that superoxide anion released from Kupffer cells could play an important role in ischemia-reperfusion hepatic injury.

Abstract
Hepatic microcirculatory perturbation is observed after ischemia/reperfusion. Endothelin-1, a potent vasoconstrictive peptide, is known to modulate local circulation. This study was designed to examine whether endothelin-1 participates in the mechanism of microcirculatory disturbance and damage of the liver after ischemia/reperfusion. Ischemia in the median and left lateral lobes of the liver was induced for 60 min; it was followed by reperfusion for 24 hr. In some rats, endothelin-1 antiserum or control serum without endothelin-1-blocking activity was administered intravenously just before reperfusion. Rats were divided into three groups: an ischemia/reperfusion group that was injected with control serum, an endothelin-1 antiserum-treated group and a sham-operated group. Endothelin-1 concentrations in blood collected from the suprahepatic vena cava were measured before and after ischemia/reperfusion by use of a sandwich enzyme immunoassay. Index of blood volume in regional hepatic tissue and index of blood oxygenation in regional hepatic tissue were assessed with an organ reflectance spectrophotometry system before and at 5 min and 1, 2, and 24 hr after reperfusion. The endothelin-1 concentration in the ischemia/reperfusion group started to rise immediately at onset of reperfusion from basal values around 1 pg/ml and reached a value of 5 to 6 pg/ml 5 min after reperfusion; it was maintained at significantly high levels during the reperfusion period compared with the sham-operated group. Hepatic microcirculatory disturbance indicated by lowered index of blood volume in regional hepatic tissue and index of blood oxygenation in regional hepatic tissue levels was observed in the early phase of reperfusion in the ischemia/reperfusion group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
PURPOSE A rat model was developed to investigate the effects of acute peripheral ischemia on the components of the fibrinolytic system. METHODS Laparotomy was performed and ischemia was introduced by total aortic clamping at a subrenal position. Control animals underwent sham laparotomy alone. Plasma and tissue samples were collected for analysis at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after operation. RESULTS Functional assays of rat plasma revealed a dramatic and transient increase in tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) activity within 30 minutes of the onset of ischemia. A simultaneous decline in plasminogen activator inhibitor activity was observed. Immunohistochemical analysis suggested this initial increase in tPA activity resulted primarily from the release of stored tPA from ischemic vascular tissues. Northern blot analysis revealed that both tPA and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 messenger RNA levels were elevated at 60 to 120 minutes in well-perfused tissues distant from the ischemic insult. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these data demonstrate that acute peripheral ischemia results in a rapid and transient increase in plasma fibrinolytic activity, concomitant with the early release of stored tPA from ischemic vascular tissues. In addition, peripheral ischemia appears to stimulate both tPA and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 gene expression in well-perfused tissues at later time points, consistent with the existence of humoral mediators.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of ischemic acute renal failure is complex, and the role of leukocyte adhesion in this process is not well defined. A monoclonal antibody (mAb) against intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (anti-ICAM-1), administered at the time of bilateral renal ischemia in the rat, prevented both functional impairment and histologic changes of acute renal failure. Plasma creatinine measured (mg/dl) 24 hr after 30 min of ischemia was 0.61 +/- 0.05 in the anti-ICAM-1-treated animals compared with 2.4 +/- 0.14 (P < 0.0001) in the vehicle-treated ischemic group. Forty-eight hours after ischemia, creatinine values were 0.46 +/- 0.05 and 2.03 +/- 0.22 (P < 0.0001) in anti-ICAM-1 and vehicle-treated groups, respectively. A low dose of anti-ICAM-1 that was itself nonprotective, when given with partially protective doses of a mAb against lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (anti-LFA-1), acted synergistically to prevent renal failure. Anti-ICAM-1 mAb also protected the kidney when administered 0.5 or 2 hr but not 8 hr after restoration of blood flow and when the ischemic period was extended to 40 min. Ischemia-induced increases in tissue myeloperoxidase, a marker of neutrophil infiltration, were mitigated with anti-ICAM-1 treatment. Thus, anti-ICAM-1 mAb protected the kidney against ischemic renal failure, even when the antibody was administered after the ischemic period. These results suggest a critical role for leukocytes and adhesion molecules in the pathophysiology of ischemic injury and may have important therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) have revolutionised many areas of medicine, particularly research and diagnostics. Murine, human and humanized mAb have all been developed. The most important clinical applications to date have been in the fields of transplantation and oncology. Experimental and limited clinical trials suggest mAb are emerging as a new therapeutic strategy in the critically ill. Antibodies against a variety of bacteria or their products are potentially useful in gram-positive and gram-negative shock. Anti-cytokine and anti-neutrophil adhesion molecule mAb may be effective not only in septic shock but also in other conditions associated with acute inflammation and cytokine release, e.g., acid aspiration, ischaemia/reperfusion injury (myocardial infarction, haemorrhagic shock, aortic aneurysm repair). Antibodies inhibiting neutrophil adhesion may also be efficacious in asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, meningitis and cerebral malaria. The use of these and other mAb in intensive care is an exciting prospect and future clinical studies will determine the extent of their role in the management of the critically ill.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) was examined in local and remote organ injury after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA PMN have been found to mediate the local injury in low flow intestinal ischemia-reperfusion. However, in complete intestinal ischemia-reperfusion, prevention of PMN adhesion by monoclonal antibodies to CD11b and CD18 reduces remote but not local intestinal injury. The role of PMN was further investigated in this setting. METHODS In a rat model of 1-hour complete intestinal ischemia and 4-hour reperfusion. PMN were manipulated in the following four ways: (1) inhibition of oxygen-free radicals using manganese superoxide dismutase and catalase (SOD/CAT), (2) antagonism of PMN elastase using secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), (3) neutropenia using PMN antisera, and (4) inhibition of activation and adhesion using interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) and tumor necrosis factor binding protein (TNFbp). Lung injury was quantified by the pulmonary permeability index, which is the ratio of bronchoalveolar lavage to blood concentration of radiolabeled bovine serum albumin, and PMN sequestration by myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Liver injury was estimated by PMN counts using quantitative histologic examination and by serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). Local injury was quantified by MPO activity and histologic grading. RESULTS Neutropenia reduced the pulmonary permeability 80% from 11.0 +/- 0.5 x 10(-3) with saline treatment to 5.50 +/- 0.12 x 10(-3); IL-1ra, to 5.62 +/- 0.44 x 10(-3); and TNFbp, to 4.32 +/- 0.18 x 10(-3) (all p < 0.05). Pulmonary MPO rose from 0.03 +/- 0.01 U/g to 0.25 +/- 0.03 U/g (p < 0.05). This was reduced by neutropenia, 0.01 +/- 0.003 U/g, but not by inhibition of oxygen-free radicals or PMN elastase. IL-1ra inhibited PMN sequestration, reducing MPO to 0.12 +/- 0.01 (p < 0.05). Liver injury was 60% dependent on PMN. Ischemia-reperfusion increased SGPT from 20.3 +/- 0.7 IU/L in the sham-treated animals to 97.0 +/- 3.1 IU/L in the experimental animals. Neutropenia reduced this to 48.1 +/- 3.9 IU/L; IL-1ra, to 44.7 +/- 3.7 IU/L; SOD/CAT, to 64.0 +/- 3.38 IU/L; and SLPI, to 57.1 +/- 3.4 IU/L (p < 0.05 in all cases). Local injury was severe and unaffected by manipulation of the PMN. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that PMN and their products mediate most of the lung, part of the liver, and none of the local gut injury after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
To reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury, a number of clinical lung transplant programs employ prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) or prostacyclin (PGI2) before donor lung flush and harvest. The effect of prostaglandins on the reperfusion component of this ischemia-reperfusion complex is unknown. We investigated the effect of PGE1 given only during the period of reperfusion, on ischemic lung injury in an in situ rabbit model. To examine the mechanisms involved, we measured pulmonary hemodynamics as well as myeloperoxidase, circulating platelet, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) values. Two hours of warm ischemia of the left lung was produced in anesthetized New Zealand white rabbits. The animals were randomly allocated into four groups based on treatment received only during reperfusion: PGE1, PGI2, nitroprusside (NP), or no treatment (controls). After 2 h of reperfusion, PaO2 in the PGE1 group was significantly higher (423 +/- 52.7 mm Hg) than in all other groups (PGI2, 239 +/- 43.4, p < 0.05; NP, 146 +/- 14.2 p < 0.01; controls, 74 +/- 19.1 mm Hg, p < 0.01), despite similar pulmonary vascular resistance in the PGE1 and NP groups. Although lower than in the PGE1 group, PaO2 in the PGI2 group was still significantly higher than that in controls. Wet/dry lung weight ratios were significantly lower in the PGE1 and PGI2 groups (6.5 +/- 0.2 [p < 0.01] and 6.9 +/- 0.6 [p < 0.05], respectively, versus 8.2 +/- 0.1 in controls). There were no significant differences in plasma TNF levels, platelet sequestration across the lungs, or lung myeloperoxidase activity in the four groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
During shock or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, translocation of bacteria and/or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the ischaemic gut might occur and could explain the excess of cytokine production detectable in plasma. To test this hypothesis, we studied a model of mild gut ischaemia due to bowel manipulation and aortic clamping in patients undergoing abdominal aortic surgery (n = 14). Per-operative levels of LPS and cytokines were measured before clamping and after reperfusion, and compared in systemic and portal blood. Systemic levels of LPS and cytokines were measured in a control group of patients undergoing internal carotid surgery (n = 7). Portal LPS was detectable (i.e., > 12 pg/ml) in 36% of the patients undergoing aortic surgery after bowel manipulation, and in 71% after clamp release. Similar levels of LPS were observed in portal and systemic blood after clamp release. Circulating tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) was observed in all patients undergoing aortic surgery. Levels of portal TNF-alpha were higher than those in systemic blood after bowel manipulation as well as after reperfusion (P = 0.02 and 0.007, respectively). LPS was never detected in control patients and TNF-alpha was detectable in only two out of seven patients. Mean levels of IL-6 were similar in the two groups, with a peak on the day following surgery, confirming that circulating IL-6 is associated with any surgical procedures. Our data indicate that bowel manipulation, aortic clamping and reperfusion lead to similar levels of portal and systemic circulating LPS.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Paraquat (PQ) is a herbicide which is highly pneumotoxic by generating reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI). Pro-inflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-1 and TNF, have been implicated in some ROI-mediated pathologies, including bleomycin toxicity and ischaemia/reperfusion injury. We have studied the effect of PQ on the expression of the neutrophil chemotactic cytokine, IL-8, by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). While almost no IL-8 mRNA was detected in unstimulated cells, PQ (100 microM) induced high mRNA expression with a maximum at 24 h of incubation. While PQ did stimulate the appearance of IL-8 mRNA, no significant production of IL-8 protein was detected. However, PQ potentiated the production of IL-8 in the presence of 1 ng/ml of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS). This was paralleled by an increased production of chemotactic activity for neutrophils, indicating that the IL-8 was actually bioactive. Stimulation of IL-8 mRNA by PQ was suppressed by IL-4 and by free radical scavengers (dimethylsulfoxide, mannitol). Increased IL-8 expression by PQ was also observed in the human pulmonary epithelial cell line A549 indicating that the effect of PQ was not specific for PBMC. These findings suggest that IL-8 might be involved in the pulmonary effects of PQ and that its production might be stimulated following an oxidative insult, and might clarify the pathogenetic mechanisms of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or oxidant-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) contribute to post-ischemic injury in many organs and in a variety of clinical situations. PMN accumulate in both lungs during unilateral lung ischemia in sheep, but the mechanism has not been defined. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that PMN accumulation is a response to chemotactic signals generated during lung ischemia. Chemotactic activity was measured in a modified Boyden chamber using normal sheep PMN as the responding cells. Increased chemotactic activity was observed in both plasma and lung lymph in a time-dependent manner after ischemia. These data indicate that a chemotactic substance immunoreactive to interleukin-8 antibody is formed as a result of unilateral lung ischemia in sheep in vivo and is a possible mediator of PMN inflammation in this model.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion involving the hind limbs of rats results in both local injury to skeletal muscle as well as injury to lungs, as measured by increased vascular permeability (125I-labeled bovine serum albumin leakage) and hemorrhage (extravasation of 51Cr-labeled rat erythrocytes). In the current study, we have focused on events in lungs occurring during reperfusion of hind limbs. Analysis of blood neutrophils obtained 4 hours after reperfusion has indicated up-regulation of CD11b and CD18 but not CD11a. Plasma from the same animals demonstrate the ability to induce similar effects in normal blood neutrophils, indicative of the presence of a neutrophil-activating agent in plasma. During reperfusion, lung injury, which develops progressively over a 4-hour period, has been shown to be neutrophil-dependent and requires CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18 as well as intercellular adhesion molecule-1. These data suggest that ischemia and reperfusion injury of rat lower extremities causes systemic changes that result in neutrophil-dependent lung injury that is beta 2 integrin- (leukocyte function antigen-1, Mac-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1-dependent.

Abstract
Ischemia in rat hind limbs followed by reperfusion results in local as well as remote organ (lung) injury characterized by increased vascular permeability (125I-labeled bovine serum albumin leakage) and hemorrhage (51Cr-labeled rat erythrocytes extravasation) in skeletal muscle and lung, together with an associated increased tissue content of myeloperoxidase, reflecting neutrophil accumulation. Within 60 minutes of reperfusion following ischemia, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and IL-6 plasma levels increased significantly, reaching maximum levels after 2 hours of reperfusion. Polyclonal antibodies to TNF-alpha and IL-1 provided significant protection against vascular injury in both muscle and lung. These results were confirmed by the use of soluble TNF-alpha receptor and IL-1 receptor antagonist. In rat lungs following ischemia and reperfusion, there was immunohistochemical evidence of E-selectin expression in the lung vasculature; this expression was blocked by treatment of animals with anti-TNF-alpha. These data indicate that both local (hind limb) and remote (lung) organ injury after ischemia/reperfusion requires participation of TNF-alpha and IL-1. The cytokines may, in part, be involved in the up-regulation of endothelial adhesion molecules.

Abstract
The role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha was investigated in an anaesthetized rat model of coronary artery ligation (60 min) and reperfusion (MI/R). Sham-occluded rats (sham MI/R) were used as controls. Survival rate, myocardial necrosis, myocardial myeloperoxidase activity, serum creatinine kinase activity and serum and macrophage tumor necrosis factor-alpha were studied. Ischaemia-reperfusion injury significantly reduced survival rate (45%), produced marked myocardial injury, increased serum creatinine kinase activity and increased myocardial myeloperoxidase activity in the area-at-risk and in the necrotic area. Serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha was undetectable during the occlusion period, but increased significantly upon release of the coronary artery. At the end of reperfusion, macrophage tumor necrosis factor-alpha was also increased. Passive immunization with a hyperimmune serum containing antibodies against murine tumor necrosis factor-alpha significantly increased survival rate (80%), lowered myocardial necrosis, reduced the increase in serum creatinine kinase activity and decreased myeloperoxidase activity in the area-at-risk and in the necrotic area. These data are consistent with an involvement of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Massive hepatic necrosis caused by fibrin deposition in the hepatic sinusoids develops with hepatic macrophage activation in rats given endotoxin after administration of heat-killed Corynebacterium parvum. Targeted cells of such macrophages were investigated. METHODS In C. parvum-treated rats, the pathological appearance of liver cells was serially measured in serum following endotoxin administration and compared with the appearance in the perfusate during closed liver perfusion with endotoxin. RESULTS Serum activities of tumor necrosis factor, purine nucleoside phosphorylase present in both hepatocytes and sinusoidal endothelial cells, and levels of alanine aminotransferase were higher after 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours, respectively. Pretreatment of rats with gadolinium chloride, an inhibitor of macrophage function, reduced this liver injury. Although alanine aminotransferase activity remained almost unchanged in the liver perfusate, purine nucleoside phosphorylase activity increased. This increase was reduced when rats were pretreated with gadolinium chloride. There was sinusoidal endothelial cell damage around hepatic macrophages in the liver perfused with endotoxin. CONCLUSIONS Activated hepatic macrophages may cause sinusoidal endothelial cell damage leading to hepatocyte necrosis in rats given C. parvum and endotoxin.
