Abstract
Repeated Ag exposure results in a shift in the time course of contact hypersensitivity (CH) from a typical delayed-type to an immediate-type response followed by a late phase reaction. Chronic CH responses are clinically relevant to human skin allergic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, that are usually caused by repeated stimulation with environmental Ags. Chronic inflammatory responses result in part from infiltrating leukocytes. To determine the role of leukocyte adhesion molecules in chronic inflammation, chronic CH responses were assessed in mice lacking L-selectin, ICAM-1, or both adhesion molecules. Following repeated hapten sensitization for 24 days at 2-day intervals, wild-type littermates developed an immediate-type response at 30 min after elicitation, followed by a late phase reaction. By contrast, loss of ICAM-1, L-selectin, or both, eliminated the immediate-type response and inhibited the late phase reaction. Similar results were obtained when wild-type littermates repeatedly exposed to hapten for 22 days were treated with mAbs to L-selectin and/or ICAM-1 before the elicitation on day 24. The lack of an immediate-type response on day 24 paralleled a lack of mast cell accumulation after 30 min of elicitation and decreased serum IgE production. Repeated Ag exposure in wild-type littermates resulted in increased levels of serum L-selectin, a finding also observed in atopic dermatitis patients. The current study demonstrates that L-selectin and ICAM-1 cooperatively regulate the induction of the immediate-type response by mediating mast cell accumulation into inflammatory sites and suggests that L-selectin and ICAM-1 are potential therapeutic targets for regulating human allergic reactions.

Abstract
Dysregulation of the inflammatory response is a causative or contributing factor in many cardiovascular pathologies. Molecular mechanisms involved in these processes indicate that the vascular endothelium is an important facet in the regulation of inflammation. Gene targeted mutational studies in the mouse have shown that adhesion and signaling molecule expression within the endothelium participate in the pathogenic process of cardiovascular disease. These studies provide insight into genetic pathways that may be therapeutically relevant in both treatment and diagnostic regimens. However, we have also learned that the role of these pathways in endothelium during inflammatory diseases is complex, requiring further study to better understand specific mechanisms involved in endothelial cell dysfunction during cardiovascular disease. Alternative gene targeting techniques, such as the Cre-loxP system, are beginning to allow tissue specific investigation of genetic pathways within the endothelium; however, extensive use of this technology is limited. This review discusses the role of the endothelium during inflammation and the insights that have been gained from the use of gene targeted mutant mice.

Abstract
Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is an essential proinflammatory T-cell derived cytokine with various biological actions. IL-17 was found to have a pivotal role in microbial host defense by interconnecting lymphoid and myeloid host defense. It also acts as a stimulatory hematopoietic cytokine by expanding myeloid progenitors and initiating proliferation of mature neutrophils. This article summarizes results to date on IL-17 research and discusses gene therapy based strategies that were employed to determine its biological functions and significance. A comprehensive working model for IL-17 is introduced.

Abstract
The development of bleomycin-induced lung injury, a model of pulmonary fibrosis, results from inflammatory cell infiltration, a process highly regulated by the expression of multiple adhesion molecules. At present, the identity and role of the adhesion molecules involved in the fibrotic process are unknown. Therefore, bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis was examined in mice lacking L-selectin (L-selectin(-/-)) expression, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression, or both. After 16 days of intratracheal bleomycin challenge, collagen deposition was inhibited in both L-selectin(-/-) and ICAM-1(-/-) mice when compared with wild-type littermates. Interestingly, collagen deposition was virtually eliminated in L-selectin/ICAM-1(-/-) mice relative to either the L-selectin(-/-) or ICAM-1(-/-) mice. Decreased pulmonary fibrosis was associated with reduced accumulation of leukocytes, including neutrophils and lymphocytes. Decreased mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 paralleled the inhibition of collagen deposition. The present study indicates that L-selectin and ICAM-1 play a critical role in pulmonary fibrosis by mediating the accumulation of leukocytes, which regulate the production of proinflammatory cytokines and TGF-beta1. This suggests that these adhesion molecules are potential therapeutic targets for inhibiting human pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Selectin family members largely mediate initial tethering and rolling of leukocytes on vascular endothelium, whereas integrin and Ig family members are essential for leukocyte firm adhesion. To quantify functional synergy between L-selectin and Ig family members during leukocyte rolling, the EA.hy926 human vascular endothelial line was transfected with either fucosyltransferase VII (926-FtVII) cDNA to generate L-selectin ligands alone or together with ICAM-1 cDNA (926-FtVII/ICAM-1). The ability of transfected 926 cells to support human leukocyte interactions was assessed in vitro using parallel plate flow chamber assays. Lymphocyte rolling on 926-FtVII cells was increased by approximately 70% when ICAM-1 was expressed at physiological levels. Although initial tether formation was similar for both cell types, lymphocyte rolling was 26% slower on 926-FtVII/ICAM-1 cells. Pretreatment of lymphocytes with an anti-CD18 mAb eliminated the increase in rolling, and all rolling was blocked by anti-L-selectin mAb. In addition, rolling velocities of lymphocytes from CD18-hypomorphic mice were 48% faster on 926-FtVII/ICAM-1 cells, with a similar reduction in rolling frequency relative to wild-type lymphocytes. CD18-hypomorphic lymphocytes also showed an approximately 40% decrease in migration to peripheral and mesenteric lymph nodes during in vivo migration assays compared with wild-type lymphocytes. Likewise, wild-type lymphocyte migration to peripheral lymph nodes was reduced by approximately 50% in ICAM-1(-/-) recipient mice. Similar to human lymphocytes, human neutrophils showed enhanced rolling interactions on 926-FtVII/ICAM-1 cells, but also firmly adhered. Thus, in addition to mediating leukocyte firm adhesion, CD18 integrin/ICAM-1 interactions regulate leukocyte rolling velocities and thereby optimize L-selectin-mediated leukocyte rolling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recruitment of circulating cells to the inflamed intestine is modulated by adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of both leucocytes and endothelial cells. AIMS The objective of this study was to test whether 2'-O-methoxyethyl chimeric antisense oligonucleotides directed against endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) can downregulate leucocyte-endothelial interactions and thereby attenuate inflammation in rat experimental ileitis. METHODS Indomethacin (7.5 mg/kg ) was injected subcutaneously into Sprague-Dawley rats 48 and 24 hours prior to intravital microscopy. Animals were treated with either ICAM-1 (ISIS 17470), VCAM-1 (ISIS 18155), or scrambled control antisense oligonucleotides administered subcutaneously or intravenously in parallel with indomethacin. Leucocyte trafficking was observed in ileal submucosal collecting venules. Macroscopic and histological grades of inflammation were measured 48 hours after the first indomethacin application. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression in ileal submucosal venules was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Intravenous administration of ICAM-1 oligonucleotides 2 mg/kg (rolling leucocytes 5.7 (2.4)/0.01 mm(2) endothelial surface, adherent leucocytes 0.8 (1.1)) and VCAM-1 oligonucleotides 8 mg/kg (9.2 (4.4), 0.6 (0.8)) significantly reduced leucocyte adhesion compared with diseased controls (27.8 (5.3), 14 (4.4)) in a dose dependent manner whereas subcutaneous treatment did not. Correspondingly, macroscopic and histological inflammation was significantly decreased. ICAM-1 oligonucleotides markedly reduced endothelial ICAM-1 expression while VCAM-1 oligonucleotides clearly diminished endothelial VCAM-1 expression. CONCLUSIONS Both ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 2'-O-methoxyethyl chimeric antisense oligonucleotides attenuate rat ileitis by downregulation of leucocyte adherence and thus are potential candidates for anti-inflammatory treatment in inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
CCR6 is expressed by memory T cells (mTC) and is a requirement for efficient arrest of a subset of mTC to activated human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMEC) under physiologic shear stress. We now address whether CCR6 alone is sufficient to induce arrest of a model T cell line (Jurkat) that shows low expression of all CCRs tested (CCR1-10). Herein, we transduced Jurkat (JK) T cells expressing fucosyltransferase VII with a chimeric chemokine receptor consisting of CCR6 fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein. In contrast to the starting JK lines, the resulting cell line (JK fucosyltransferase VII-CCR6) migrated 6-fold better to CCL20 in chemotaxis assays, arrested in response to CCL20 that was immobilized to plastic, and demonstrated a 2.5-fold increase in adhesion to activated HDMEC (p = 0.001). Adhesion was blocked by anti-CD18 mAb (p = 0.005) but not by anti-CD49d mAb (p = 0.3). After arrest on recombinant substrates, CCR6 clustered on the surface as detected by real-time observation of enhanced green fluorescent protein fluorescence. Dual-label confocal microscopy revealed that LFA-1 (CD18 and CD11a), but not CXCR4, colocalized with clustered CCR6 in the presence of immobilized CCL20. Thus, the functional expression of CCR6 is sufficient to provide the chemokine signaling necessary to induce arrest of a JK T cell line to activated HDMEC. Clustering of CCR6 and coassociation with critical integrins may serve to strengthen adhesion between T cells and activated endothelial cells.

Abstract
L-selectin mediates the initial capture and subsequent rolling of leukocytes along inflamed vascular endothelium and mediates lymphocyte migration to peripheral lymphoid tissues. Leukocyte activation induces rapid endoproteolytic cleavage of L-selectin from the cell surface, generating soluble L-selectin (sL-selectin). Because human sL-selectin retains ligand-binding activity in vitro, mouse sL-selectin and its in vivo relevance were characterized. Comparable with humans, sL-selectin was present in adult C57BL/6 mouse sera at approximately 1.7 micro g/ml. Similar levels of sL-selectin were present in sera from multiple mouse strains, despite their pronounced differences in cell surface L-selectin expression levels. Adhesion molecule-deficient mice prone to spontaneous chronic inflammation and mice suffering from leukemia/lymphoma had 2.5- and 20-fold increased serum sL-selectin levels, respectively. By contrast, serum sL-selectin levels were reduced by 70% in Rag-deficient mice lacking mature lymphocytes. The majority of serum sL-selectin had a molecular mass of 65-75 kDa, consistent with its lymphocyte origin. Slow turnover may explain the relatively high levels of sL-selectin in vivo. The t(1/2) of sL-selectin, assessed by transferring sera from wild-type mice into L-selectin-deficient mice and monitoring serum sL-selectin levels by ELISA, was >20 h, and it remained detectable for longer than 1 wk. Short-term in vivo lymphocyte migration assays demonstrated that near physiologic levels ( approximately 0.9 micro g/ml) of sL-selectin decreased lymphocyte migration to peripheral lymph nodes by >30%, with dose-dependent inhibition occurring with increasing sL-selectin concentrations. These results suggest that sL-selectin influences lymphocyte migration in vivo and that the increased sL-selectin levels present in certain pathologic conditions may adversely affect leukocyte migration.

Abstract
Understanding how the integrins on leukocytes operate is important because these receptors control the activity of leukocytes in all phases of their lives. Thus integrins control leukocyte development and maturation in bone marrow, the circulation of naive cells in secondary lymphoid tissue, e.g. the lymph nodes, and leukocyte responses to inflammatory signals emanating from injured tissues. Using as an example LFA-1, which is expressed by all leukocytes, we outline how the activity of this integrin is modified to meet the challenges posed by these leukocyte activities. Briefly, we discuss three means by which LFA-1 is adapted to bind more efficiently to its chief ligand, ICAM-1. LFA-1 can undergo changes in conformation leading to increased affinity, can be clustered on the membrane and, finally, when activated can move into the lipid raft compartment of the membrane. The study of humans with the beta2 deficiency syndrome termed leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD)-1 and analysis of LFA-1 null mice has given further insight into integrin activation mechanisms and the in vivo roles of LFA-1 and other leukocyte integrins.

Abstract
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are found on the surfaces of all cells, where they bind to extracellular matrix molecules or to receptors on other cells. As well as having a structural role, CAMs function as signaling receptors, transducing signals initiated by cellular interactions which regulate many diverse processes, including cell division, migration, and differentiation. Cell adhesion molecules are essential for maintaining stable tissue structure. However, cell adhesion must be dynamic to facilitate the mobility and turnover of cells. In dynamic situations, cells alter their cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions by virtue of altered expression and function of CAMs. The expression of CAMs is normally tightly regulated, thereby controlling cell proliferation, mobility, differentiation, and survival. Many of these processes are misregulated in malignant tumors, and it has been shown that many of the characteristics of tumor cells are attributable to the aberrant expression or function of CAMs. Integrins and E-cadherin are the most important CAMs expressed by stratified squamous epithelium. Altered expression of these molecules has been found in oral carcinoma, where loss of CAM expression is often seen in poorly differentiated lesions. However, up-regulation of certain integrins, such as alphavbeta6, has consistently been found in oral cancer, suggesting that it may play an active role in disease progression.

Abstract
The deposition of immune complexes (IC) induces an acute inflammatory response with tissue injury. IC-induced inflammation is mediated by inflammatory cell infiltration, a process highly regulated by expression of multiple adhesion molecules. To assess the role of L-selectin and ICAM-1 in this pathogenetic process, the cutaneous reverse passive Arthus reaction was examined in mice lacking L-selectin (L-selectin(-/-)), ICAM-1 (ICAM-1(-/-)), or both (L-selectin/ICAM-1(-/-)). Edema and hemorrhage, which peaked 4 and 8 h after IC challenge, respectively, were significantly reduced in L-selectin(-/-), ICAM-1(-/-), and L-selectin/ICAM-1(-/-) mice compared with wild-type littermates. In general, edema and hemorrhage were more significantly inhibited in ICAM-1(-/-) mice than in L-selectin(-/-) mice, but were most significantly reduced in L-selectin/ICAM-1(-/-) mice compared with ICAM-1(-/-) or L-selectin(-/-) mice. Decreased edema and hemorrhage correlated with reduced neutrophil and mast cell infiltration in all adhesion molecule-deficient mice, but leukocyte infiltration was most affected in L-selectin/ICAM-1(-/-) mice. Reduced neutrophil and mast cell infiltration was also observed for all mutant mice in the peritoneal Arthus reaction. Furthermore, cutaneous TNF-alpha production was inhibited in each deficient mouse, which paralleled the reductions in cutaneous inflammation. These results indicate that ICAM-1 and L-selectin cooperatively contribute to the cutaneous Arthus reaction by regulating neutrophil and mast cell recruitment and suggest that ICAM-1 and L-selectin are therapeutic targets for human IC-mediated disease.

Abstract
This article reviews recent advances in the knowledge of the role of L-selectin, an adhesion molecule that is expressed on the surface of circulating leucocytes, in animal and human physiology and pathophysiology. After a brief discussion on nomenclature and structure, it progresses through the evidence for expression and regulation of L-selectin, cell collection and purification, physiological function and roles. The special role of knock out mice and monoclonal antibodies in determining a role for L-selectin in inflammatory states is described before proceeding to discuss the importance of L-selectin ligands and shed L-selectin. A second section describes a role for L-selectin in pathophysiological states in animals and man, with special reference to trauma, systemic inflammatory syndromes and sepsis. The review concludes with a summary of the potential role of anti-inflammatory medication and L-selectin blockers in the management of inflammation.

Abstract
Previously it was shown that beta(2)-integrins are necessary for slow leukocyte rolling in inflamed venules. In this study, mice that are deficient for either one of the beta(2)-integrins, alpha(L)beta(2) (LFA-1) or alpha(M)beta(2) (Mac-1), were used to determine which of the beta(2)-integrins are responsible for slowing rolling leukocytes. The cremaster muscles of these mice were treated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha and prepared for intravital microscopy. The average rolling velocities in venules were elevated in LFA-1(-/-) mice (11.0 +/- 0.7 microm/s) and Mac-1(-/-) mice (10.1 +/- 1.1 microm/s) compared to wild-type mice (4.8 +/- 0.3 microm/s; P <.05), but were lower than in CD18(-/-) mice (28.5 +/- 2.1 microm/s). When both LFA-1 and Mac-1 were absent or blocked, rolling velocity became dependent on shear rate and approached that of CD18(-/-) mice. In addition, leukocyte adhesion efficiency was decreased in LFA-1(-/-) mice to near CD18(-/-) levels, but decreased only slightly in Mac-1(-/-) mice. Thus, both LFA-1 and Mac-1 contribute to slowing down rolling leukocytes, although LFA-1 is more important than Mac-1 in efficiently inducing firm adhesion.

Abstract
Many mutant mice deficient in leukocyte adhesion molecules display altered hematopoiesis and neutrophilia. This study investigated whether peripheral blood neutrophil concentrations in these mice are elevated as a result of accumulation of neutrophils in the circulation or altered hematopoiesis mediated by a disrupted regulatory feedback loop. Chimeric mice were generated by transplanting various ratios of CD18(+/+) and CD18(-/-) unfractionated bone marrow cells into lethally irradiated wild-type mice, resulting in approximately 0%, 10%, 50%, 90%, or 100% CD18 null neutrophils in the blood. The presence of only 10% CD18(+/+) neutrophils was sufficient to prevent the severe neutrophilia seen in mice reconstituted with CD18(-/-) bone marrow cells. These data show that the neutrophilia in CD18(-/-) mice is not caused by enhanced neutrophil survival or the inability of neutrophils to leave the vascular compartment. In CD18(-/-), CD18(-/-)E(-/-), CD18(-/-)P(-/-), EP(-/-), and EPI(-/-) mice, levels of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) were elevated in proportion to the neutrophilia seen in these mice, regardless of the underlying mutation. Antibiotic treatment or the propensity to develop skin lesions did not correlate with neutrophil counts. Blocking IL-17 or G-CSF function in vivo significantly reduced neutrophil counts in severely neutrophilic mice by approximately 50% (P <.05) or 70% (P <.01), respectively. These data show that peripheral blood neutrophil numbers are regulated by a feedback loop involving G-CSF and IL-17 and that this feedback loop is disrupted when neutrophils cannot migrate into peripheral tissues.

Abstract
Leukocyte interactions with vascular endothelium are highly orchestrated processes that include the capture of free-flowing leukocytes from the blood with subsequent leukocyte rolling, arrest, firm adhesion, and ensuing diapedesis. These interactions occur under high shear stresses within venules and depend on multiple families of adhesion molecules. Many of the adhesion molecules involved are now identified. In addition, precise mechanisms underlying their regulation and our understanding of how different families of adhesion molecules work together is becoming clearer. Specifically, leukocyte/endothelial cell interactions such as capture, rolling, and firm adhesion can no longer be viewed as occurring in discrete steps mediated by individual families of adhesion molecules, but rather as a series of overlapping synergistic interactions among adhesion molecules resulting in an adhesion cascade. Although long thought to be mediated by distinct adhesion pathways, overlapping adhesion cascades mediate normal lymphocyte recirculation to peripheral lymphoid tissues and inflammation-induced leukocyte migration. These cascades thereby direct leukocyte migration, which is essential for the generation of effective inflammatory responses and the development of rapid immune responses.

Abstract
This study sought to investigate the interplay between antibody and T cell responses triggered by an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and their possible role in the progress of this disease. Serum samples were collected from two groups of patients, group A (n = 26) within the first week of MI, and group B (n = 28) at 2 weeks and 2 months after MI. Patients in group A were older and had higher prevalence of hypertension and previous attack of MI than patients in group B. The levels of anti-myosin immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G antibodies in the serum samples from group A were significantly higher than those in normal control subjects. In group B, the levels of both antibodies were lower than those in group A but remained significantly higher than those in normal control subjects at both 2 weeks and 2 months. The levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) in the serum samples from group A patients were significantly higher than those in normal control subjects. At 2 weeks after MI (group B), only the level of sVCAM-1, but not that of sICAM-1, was significantly higher than that in normal control subjects, and there were no significant changes in the levels of these two molecules from 2 weeks to 2 months after MI. We conclude that the higher levels of anti-myosin antibodies and adhesion molecules in group A patients as compared with group B patients may be due to higher or more frequent exposures of their immune systems to heart antigens. Furthermore, the immunoglobulin M antibody response during the first week of MI had an inverse relationship with the level of interleukin-2R (sIL-2R), which suggested a possible suppressive or regulatory role of this antibody on the cellular immune response during this time.

Abstract
In the initial phase of an inflammatory response, leukocytes marginate and roll along the endothelial surface as a result of adhesive interactions between molecules on the endothelial cells and leukocytes. To evaluate the role of the 3 selectins (E, L, and P) in leukocyte rolling and emigration, a null mutation for L-selectin was introduced into previously described embryonic stem cells with null mutations in the genes for both E-selectin and P-selectin (E/P double mutants) to produce triple-selectin-null mice (E-selectin, L-selectin, and P-selectin [E/L/P] triple mutants). Triple-selectin homozygous mutant mice are viable and fertile and only rarely develop the severe mucocutaneous infections or pulmonary inflammation characteristic of E/P double-mutant mice. Surface expression of L-selectin was undetectable in triple-mutant mice on fluorescence-activated cell-sorter analysis of peripheral neutrophils. Pathological studies revealed moderate cervical lymphadenopathy and lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, but these were less extensive than in E/P double-mutant mice. Neutrophil emigration during thioglycolate-induced peritonitis was significantly reduced at 4, 8, and 24 hours (35%, 65%, and 46% of wild-type values, respectively). Intravital microscopy of the cremaster muscle revealed almost no rolling at times up to 6 hours after exteriorization, with or without addition of tumor necrosis factor alpha. The small amount of residual rolling was dependent on alpha(4)-integrin. The occurrence of skin and pulmonary disease in E/P double-mutant mice but not E/L/P triple-mutant mice suggests that deficiency of L-selectin alters the inflammatory response in E/P mutants.

Abstract
In the multistep process of leukocyte extravasation, the mechanisms by which leukocytes establish the initial contact with the endothelium are unclear. In parallel, there is a controversy regarding the role for L-selectin in leukocyte recruitment. Here, using intravital microscopy in the mouse, we investigated leukocyte capture from the free flow directly to the endothelium (primary capture), and capture mediated through interactions with rolling leukocytes (secondary capture) in venules, in cytokine-stimulated arterial vessels, and on atherosclerotic lesions in the aorta. Capture was more prominent in arterial vessels compared with venules. In venules, the incidence of capture increased with increasing vessel diameter and wall shear rate. Secondary capture required a minimum rolling leukocyte flux and contributed by approximately 20-50% of total capture in all studied vessel types. In arteries, secondary capture induced formation of clusters and strings of rolling leukocytes. Function inhibition of L-selectin blocked secondary capture and thereby decreased the flux of rolling leukocytes in arterial vessels and in large (>45 microm in diameter), but not small (<45 microm), venules. These findings demonstrate the importance of leukocyte capture from the free flow in vivo. The different impact of blockage of secondary capture in venules of distinct diameter range, rolling flux, and wall shear rate provides explanations for the controversy regarding the role of L-selectin in various situations of leukocyte recruitment. What is more, secondary capture occurs on atherosclerotic lesions, a fact that provides the first evidence for roles of L-selectin in leukocyte accumulation in atherogenesis.

Abstract
After injury or infection, neutrophils rapidly migrate from the circulation into tissues by means of an orderly progression of adhesion receptor engagements. Neutrophils have been previously considered to use selectins exclusively to roll on vessels before an adhesion step mediated by the beta2 integrins, lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-1, and Mac-1. Here we use LFA-1(-/-) mice, function blocking monoclonal antibodies, and intravital microscopy to investigate the roles of LFA-1, Mac-1, and alpha4 integrins in neutrophil recruitment in vivo. For the first time, we show that LFA-1 makes a contribution to neutrophil rolling by stabilizing the transient attachment or tethering phase of rolling. In contrast, Mac-1 does not appear to be important for either rolling or firm adhesion, but instead contributes to emigration from the vessel. Blocking Mac-1 in the presence of LFA-1 significantly reduces emigration, suggesting cooperation between these two integrins. Low levels of alpha4beta1 integrin can be detected on neutrophils from LFA-1(+/+) and (-/-) mice. These cells make use of alpha4beta1 during the rolling phase, particularly in the absence of LFA-1. Thus LFA-1 and alpha4beta1, together with the selectins, are involved in the rolling phase of neutrophil recruitment, and, in turn, affect the later stages of the transmigration event.

Abstract
The physiologic role of L-selectin shedding is unknown. Here, we investigate the effect of L-selectin shedding on firm adhesion and transmigration. In a tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced model of inflammation, inhibition of L-selectin shedding significantly increased firm adhesion and transmigration by a lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1-dependent mechanism. We examined the quality of leukocyte rolling and L-selectin-mediated signaling. Blockade of L-selectin shedding significantly reduced the "jerkiness" of leukocyte rolling, defined as the variability of velocity over time. A low level of jerkiness was also observed in the rolling of microbeads conjugated with L-selectin, a model system lacking the mechanism for L-selectin shedding. Inhibition of L-selectin shedding potentiated activation of LFA-1 and Mac-1 induced by L-selectin cross-linking as shown by activation epitope expression and binding of ICAM-1-conjugated beads. We conclude that inhibition of L-selectin shedding increases leukocyte adhesion and transmigration by (a) increasing leukocyte exposure to the inflamed endothelium by decreasing jerkiness and (b) promoting leukocyte activation by outside-in signaling. These observations help to resolve the apparent discrepancy between the minor contribution of L-selectin to rolling and the significant leukocyte recruitment defect in L-selectin knockout mice.

Abstract
Leukostasis and tissue infiltration by leukemic cells are poorly understood life-threatening complications of acute leukemia. This study has tested the hypothesis that adhesion receptors and cytokines secreted by blast cells play central roles in these reactions. Immunophenotypic studies showed that acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells (n = 78) of the M0 to M5 subtypes of the French-American-British Cooperative Group expressed various amounts of adhesion receptors, including CD11a, b, c/CD18, CD49d, e, f/CD29, CD54, sCD15, and L-selectin. The presence of functional adhesion receptors was evaluated using a nonstatic adhesion assay. The number of blast cells attached to unactivated endothelium increased by 7 to 31 times after a 6-hour exposure of endothelium to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Inhibition studies showed that multiple adhesion receptors--including L-selectin, E-selectin, VCAM-1, and CD11/CD18--were involved in blast cell adhesion to TNF-alpha-activated endothelium. Leukemic cells were then cocultured at 37 degrees C on unactivated endothelial cell monolayers for time periods up to 24 hours. A time-dependent increase in the number of blasts attached to the endothelium and a concomitant induction of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin were observed. Additional experiments revealed that endothelial cell activation by leukemic myeloblasts was caused by cytokine secretion by blast cells, in particular TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta, and direct contacts between adhesion receptors expressed by blast cells and endothelial cells. Thus, leukemic cells have the ability to generate conditions that promote their own adhesion to vascular endothelium, a property that may have important implications for the pathophysiology of leukostasis and tissue infiltration by leukemic blast cells.

Abstract
T lymphocytes play a critical role in the development of allergic inflammation in asthma. Early in the allergic response, T lymphocytes migrate from the circulation into the lung to initiate and propagate airway inflammation. The adhesion molecules that mediate lymphocyte entry into inflamed lung have not been defined. This study directly examined the roles of L-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) in lymphocyte migration to the lung during an allergic inflammatory response in an animal model of asthma. Short-term (1 hour) in vivo migration assays and various combinations of adhesion molecule-deficient and wild-type mice were used. Migration of in vivo activated lymphocytes into inflamed lung was significantly greater than entry of resting lymphocytes into noninflamed lung (24.5% +/- 2.7% vs 9.5% +/- 1.3%, P =.001). Migration of activated lymphocytes into inflamed lung was inhibited by 30% in the absence of L-selectin (17.3% +/- 1.3%, P =.04), 47% in the absence of cell surface ICAM-1 (13.0% +/- 2.5%, P =.01), and 47% in the absence of endothelial ICAM-1 (13.0% +/- 2.5%, P =.01). Loss of ICAM-1 on both lymphocytes and lung endothelium inhibited lymphocyte migration by 60% (9.8% +/- 1.8%, P =.002). These findings demonstrate clear roles for both L-selectin and ICAM-1 in lymphocyte migration to the lung during an allergic inflammatory response, with ICAM-1 playing a greater role.

Abstract
To study selectin-independent leukocyte recruitment and the role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), we generated mice lacking all three selectins and ICAM-1 (E/P/L/I-/-) by bone marrow transplantation. These mice were viable and appeared healthy under vivarium conditions, although they showed a 97% reduction in leukocyte rolling, a 63% reduction in leukocyte firm adhesion, and a 99% reduction of neutrophil recruitment in a thioglycollate-induced model of peritonitis at 4 and 24 h. Mononuclear cell recruitment was almost unaffected. All residual leukocyte rolling and most leukocyte adhesion in these mice depended on alpha(4)-integrins, but a small number of leukocytes (6% of wild-type control) still became adherent in the absence of all known rolling mechanisms (E-, P-, L-selectin and alpha(4)-integrins). A striking similarity of leukocyte adhesion efficiency in E/P/L-/- and E/P/I-/- mice suggests a pathway in which leukocyte rolling through L-selectin requires ICAM-1 for adhesion and recruitment. Comparison of our data with mice lacking individual or other combinations of adhesion molecules reveal that elimination of more adhesion molecules further reduces leukocyte recruitment but the effect is less than additive.

Abstract
Abstract
Plasmodium falciparum–infected erythrocytes (IRBCs) have been shown to interact with a number of endothelial adhesion molecules expressed on transfectants, on cell lines, and as immobilized purified receptor proteins under flow conditions. However, the experiments were designed in such a way that maximal numbers of adhesion molecules were provided as substratum. Whether the interactive events actually occur on microvascular endothelium, where the distribution and expression of adhesion molecules may be less, remains undetermined. In this study, the cytoadherance of IRBCs on human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) as a model of human microvasculature was examined. IRBCs were observed to tether, roll, and adhere on resting HDMECs, which constitutively expressed CD36 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) at an optimal shear stress of 1 dyne/cm2. Stimulation of HDMECs with tumor necrosis factor–α for 5 and 24 hours, which resulted in up-regulation of ICAM-1 and induction of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression, significantly increased the percentage of rolling cells that adhered without affecting the rolling flux. In contrast, P-selectin expression on HDMECs induced by oncostatin M led to an increase in both rolling flux and adhesion. Inhibition studies with receptor-specific monoclonal antibodies revealed that adhesion of IRBCs on HDMECs was largely CD36 dependent, whereas rolling could be mediated by any of the adhesion molecules studied. Collectively, these findings indicate that IRBCs interact synergistically with multiple adhesion molecules on vascular endothelium. The rolling of IRBCs may be the rate-limiting step in cytoadherance, since it can be modulated by cytokines to enhance CD36-mediated IRBC adhesion.

Abstract
Plasmodium falciparum–infected erythrocytes (IRBCs) have been shown to interact with a number of endothelial adhesion molecules expressed on transfectants, on cell lines, and as immobilized purified receptor proteins under flow conditions. However, the experiments were designed in such a way that maximal numbers of adhesion molecules were provided as substratum. Whether the interactive events actually occur on microvascular endothelium, where the distribution and expression of adhesion molecules may be less, remains undetermined. In this study, the cytoadherance of IRBCs on human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) as a model of human microvasculature was examined. IRBCs were observed to tether, roll, and adhere on resting HDMECs, which constitutively expressed CD36 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) at an optimal shear stress of 1 dyne/cm2. Stimulation of HDMECs with tumor necrosis factor–α for 5 and 24 hours, which resulted in up-regulation of ICAM-1 and induction of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression, significantly increased the percentage of rolling cells that adhered without affecting the rolling flux. In contrast, P-selectin expression on HDMECs induced by oncostatin M led to an increase in both rolling flux and adhesion. Inhibition studies with receptor-specific monoclonal antibodies revealed that adhesion of IRBCs on HDMECs was largely CD36 dependent, whereas rolling could be mediated by any of the adhesion molecules studied. Collectively, these findings indicate that IRBCs interact synergistically with multiple adhesion molecules on vascular endothelium. The rolling of IRBCs may be the rate-limiting step in cytoadherance, since it can be modulated by cytokines to enhance CD36-mediated IRBC adhesion.

Abstract
The expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), alpha4-integrin and L-selectin was dynamically observed using an immunohistochemical approach during labyrinthitis induced by inoculation of keyhole limpet hemocyanin into the scala tympani of animals that had been systemically sensitized to it. At the same time, we used ELISA to monitor interleukin-1(IL-1) in the peripheral blood of these animals. The expression of alpha4-integrin and L-selectin on the surface of leukocytes in peripheral blood was examined by flow cytometry. VCAM-1 was found on the endothelial surface of the spiral modiolar vein (SMV) and its collecting venules (CV) at 24 h post-challenge; the VCAM-1 level reached a maximum on day 2, which was maintained until 1 week post-challenge, and then declined gradually. Alpha4-integrin was found on the surface of leukocytes, mainly monocytes and lymphocytes, that had infiltrated the SMV, CV, cochlear nerve and perilymph by 24 h post-challenge; the alpha4-integrin level reached a maximum on day 2 and then decreased rapidly. At 1 week post-challenge, no significant expression of alpha4-integrin was seen. Expression of alpha4-integrin and L-selectin was also observed on leukocytes in peripheral blood. No L-selectin was observed on the surface of leukocytes during inner ear inflammation. The expression of L-selectin on the surface of leukocytes in the peripheral blood appeared to be downregulated during inflammation. The concentrations of IL-1 in the peripheral blood increased commensurately during inner ear inflammation. These results further elucidate the role of adhesion molecules during inner ear immune responses. The increased expression of VCAM-1 on SMV and CV was correlated with the concentration of IL-1 in peripheral blood during inner ear inflammation.

Abstract
The LFA-1 integrin is crucial for the firm adhesion of circulating leukocytes to ICAM-1-expressing endothelial cells. In the present study, we demonstrate that LFA-1 can arrest unstimulated PBL subsets and lymphoblastoid Jurkat cells on immobilized ICAM-1 under subphysiological shear flow and mediate firm adhesion to ICAM-1 after short static contact. However, LFA-1 expressed in K562 cells failed to support firm adhesion to ICAM-1 but instead mediated K562 cell rolling on the endothelial ligand under physiological shear stress. LFA-1-mediated rolling required an intact LFA-1 I-domain, was enhanced by Mg2+, and was sharply dependent on ICAM-1 density. This is the first indication that LFA-1 can engage in rolling adhesions with ICAM-1 under physiological shear flow. The ability of LFA-1 to support rolling correlates with decreased avidity and impaired time-dependent adhesion strengthening. A beta2 cytoplasmic domain-deletion mutant of LFA-1, with high avidity to immobilized ICAM-1, mediated firm arrests of K562 cells interacting with ICAM-1 under shear flow. Our results suggest that restrictions in LFA-1 clustering mediated by cytoskeletal attachments may lock the integrin into low-avidity states in particular cellular environments. Although low-avidity LFA-1 states fail to undergo adhesion strengthening upon contact with ICAM-1 at stasis, these states are permissive for leukocyte rolling on ICAM-1 under physiological shear flow. Rolling mediated by low-avidity LFA-1 interactions with ICAM-1 may stabilize rolling initiated by specialized vascular rolling receptors and allow the leukocyte to arrest on vascular endothelium upon exposure to stimulatory endothelial signals.

Abstract
Inflammatory cells play a crucial role in wound healing, but the role of adhesion molecules including L-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is not known in this process. We examined skin wound repair of excisional wounds in mice lacking L-selectin, ICAM-1, or both. The loss of ICAM-1 inhibited wound healing, keratinocyte migration from the edges of the wound toward the center, and granulation tissue formation. By contrast, L-selectin deficiency alone did not affect any of these parameters. However, the loss of both L-selectin and ICAM-1 resulted in inhibition of keratinocyte migration and granulation tissue formation beyond those caused by loss of ICAM-1 alone. Treatment of platelet-derived growth factor to the wounds normalized delayed wound healing in ICAM-1(-/-) mice, but not in L-selectin/ICAM-1(-/-) mice. Therefore, although ICAM-1 contributes to wound repair to a greater extent than L-selectin, a role for L-selectin was revealed in the absence of ICAM-1. The impaired wound repair was associated with reduced infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages in ICAM-1(-/-) and L-selectin/ICAM-1(-/-) mice. These results demonstrate a distinct role of ICAM-1 and L-selectin in wound healing and that the delayed wound healing in the absence of these molecules is likely because of decreased leukocyte accumulation into the wound site.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine 1) the changes in endothelial cell adhesion molecule expression that occur in a clinically relevant model of sepsis and 2) the dependence of these changes on endotoxin [lipopolysaccharide (LPS)]. The dual radiolabeled monoclonal antibody technique was used to quantify the expression of E- and P-selectin in LPS-sensitive (C3HeB/FeJ) and LPS-insensitive (C3H/HeJ) mice that were subjected to acute peritonitis by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP). At 6 h after CLP, the expression of both E- and P-selectin was increased in the gut (mesentery, pancreas, and small and large bowel) compared with the sham-operated and/or control animals, with a more marked response noted in LPS-insensitive mice. The lung also exhibited an increased P-selectin expression in both mouse strains. An accumulation of granulocytes, assessed using tissue myeloperoxidase activity, was noted in the lung and intestine of LPS-sensitive but not LPS-insensitive mice exposed to CLP. These results indicate that the CLP model of sepsis is associated with an upregulation of endothelial selectins in the gut vasculature and that enteric LPS does not contribute to this endothelial cell activation response.

Abstract
Abstract
Leukocyte interactions with vascular endothelium during inflammation depend on cascades of adhesion molecule engagement, particularly during selectin-mediated leukocyte rolling. Leukocyte rolling is also facilitated by members of the integrin and Ig families. Specifically, leukocyte rolling velocities during inflammation are significantly increased in ICAM-1-deficient mice, with ICAM-1 expression required for optimal P- and L-selectin-mediated rolling. Elimination of ICAM-1 expression in L-selectin-deficient mice significantly reduces leukocyte rolling. Whether disrupted leukocyte rolling in L-selectin and ICAM-1 double-deficient (L-selectin/ICAM-1−/−) mice affects leukocyte entry into sites of inflammation in vivo was assessed in the current study by using experimental models of inflammation; thioglycollate-induced peritonitis, chemokine-induced neutrophil migration to the skin, delayed-type hypersensitivity responses, rejection of allogeneic skin grafts, and septic shock. In many cases, the loss of both L-selectin and ICAM-1 expression dramatically reduced leukocyte migration into sites of inflammation beyond what was observed with loss of either receptor alone. In fact, the effects from loss of both L-selectin and ICAM-1 effectively eliminated multiple chronic inflammatory responses in L-selectin/ICAM-1−/− mice. By contrast, the combined loss of L-selectin and ICAM-1 expression had minimal effects on the generation of Ag-specific T cell responses or humoral immunity. Thus, members of the selectin and Ig families function synergistically to mediate optimal leukocyte rolling and entry into tissues, which is essential for the generation of effective inflammatory responses in vivo.

Abstract
Abstract
Selectins support the capture and rolling of leukocytes in venules at sites of inflammation and in lymphocyte homing. Gene-targeted mice with null mutations at the L-, E-, or P-selectin locus develop normally and show mild (E−/−) to moderate (P−/−, L−/−) defects in inflammatory cell recruitment. Mice lacking both P- and E-selectin (E/P−/−) have severe neutrophilia and spontaneous skin infections that limit their life span. Other combinations of selectin deficiency have not been investigated. We have generated novel mice lacking L- and P-selectin (L/P−/−), L- and E-selectin (L/E−/−), or all three selectins (E/L/P−/−) by bone marrow transplantation. L/P−/− mice (only E-selectin present) show an absence of leukocyte rolling after trauma and severely reduced rolling (by ∼90%) in inflammation induced by TNF-α. Residual rolling in L/P−/− mice was very slow (3.6 ± 0.2 μm/s after TNF-α). L/E−/− mice (only P-selectin present) showed rolling similar to that of L−/− at increased velocities (15.1 ± 0.3 μm/s). The number of adherent leukocytes after 2 or 6 h of TNF-α treatment was not significantly reduced in L/E−/− or L/P−/− mice. E/L/P−/− mice showed very little rolling after TNF-α, all of which was blocked by mAb to α4 integrin. Adherent and emigrated neutrophils were significantly reduced at 6 h after TNF-α. We conclude that any one of the selectins can support some neutrophil recruitment but eliminating all three selectins significantly impairs neutrophil recruitment.

Abstract
Single gene knock-outs in mice have been used to define the biological role of leukocyte adhesion receptors, Fc-gamma receptors and complement in animal models of immune complex glomerulonephritis. These studies have shown important differences in the role of P-selectin in glomerular inflammation and inflammation at other sites, and have given a new appreciation of the dominant role played by Fc-gamma receptors in immune complex-induced glomerular injury.

Abstract
Abstract
Although L-selectin mediates lymphocyte attachment to endothelial venules of peripheral lymph nodes, its role in leukocyte recruitment into tissues following Ag challenge is less well established. The objective of this study was to systematically examine the role of L-selectin in leukocyte rolling in the peripheral microvasculature during the first 24 h of an immune response. A type I hypersensitivity response was elicited in wild-type (C57BL/6) and L-selectin-deficient mice by systemic (i.p.) sensitization and intrascrotal challenge with chicken egg OVA. The cremaster microcirculation was observed in untreated and sensitized mice 4, 8, and 24 h post-Ag challenge by intravital microscopy. Leukocyte recruitment in L-selectin-deficient mice and wild-type mice treated with an L-selectin function-blocking mAb was examined at each time point. Ag challenge induced a significant increase in leukocyte rolling (60 cells/min/venule to ∼300 cells/min/venule) in wild-type mice at 4–24 h. This response was reduced by approximately 60–70% in L-selectin-deficient mice and in wild-type mice treated with an L-selectin-blocking mAb. P-selectin blockade by Ab completely inhibited leukocyte rolling at 4–24 h in wild-type animals and also blocked the residual rolling seen in L-selectin-deficient mice. Blocking E-selectin function had no effect on leukocyte rolling flux at any time point in wild-type or L-selectin-deficient mice. Despite reduced rolling, leukocyte adhesion and emigration were not measurably reduced in the L-selectin-deficient mice in this vascular bed. In conclusion, leukocyte rolling is L-selectin-dependent post-Ag challenge with L-selectin and P-selectin sharing overlapping functions.

Abstract
The advent of gene targeting has led to the generation of several mouse strains deficient in select leukocyte adhesion receptors. These strains of mice have been very informative about the roles of cell adhesion molecules in leukocyte-endothelium interaction and have produced some surprises: roles for leukocyte adhesion receptors have been demonstrated in development as well as pathologies like obesity, and evidence for functional synergies between adhesion receptors have been provided. We attempt in this review to first outline the technique of gene targeting and give an overview of leukocyte adhesion receptors and mice deficient in these receptors. Second, we discuss models of experimental glomerulonephritis and what we have learned about leukocyte adhesion receptors in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis through studies in knockout mice.

Abstract
L-selectin mediates leukocyte rolling on vascular endothelium during inflammation. Although vascular endothelium can be activated with inflammatory cytokines to express functional L-selectin ligands, these ligands have not been well characterized. In this study, fucosyltransferase VII cDNA (Fuc-TVII) transfection of the EA.hy926 human vascular endothelial cell line (926-FtVII) induced functional L-selectin ligand expression and expression of sialyl Lewisx (sLex), as defined by HECA-452 (cutaneous lymphocyte antigen; CLA) and CSLEX-1 mAbs. Cytokine activation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) also induced functional L-selectin ligand expression, with increased CLA expression and Fuc-TVII transcription. The majority of L-selectin-dependent lymphocyte attachment to activated HUVEC and 926-FtVII cells was blocked specifically by treating the endothelial cells with the HECA-452 mAb, but not the CSLEX-1 mAb. CLA-bearing ligands on vascular endothelium also required sulfation and appropriate molecular scaffolds for functional activity, but were distinct from the L-selectin ligands previously identified by the MECA-79 mAb. These findings demonstrate that the HECA-452- defined antigen, CLA, is an essential carbohydrate component of vascular L-selectin ligands.

Abstract
Abstract
Lymphocyte migration into lymphoid organs is regulated by adhesion molecules including L-selectin and the β7 integrins. L-selectin and α4β7 are predominantly hypothesized to direct the selective migration of lymphocytes to peripheral lymph nodes and the gut-associated lymphoid tissues, respectively. To further characterize interactions between L-selectin and β7 integrins during lymphocyte recirculation, mice deficient in both receptors (L-selectin/β7 integrin−/−) were generated. The simultaneous loss of L-selectin and β7 integrin expression prevented the majority of lymphocytes (>95% inhibition) from attaching to high endothelial venules (HEV) of Peyer’s patches and other lymphoid tissues during in vitro binding assays. Moreover, the inability to bind HEV eliminated the vast majority of L-selectin/β7 integrin−/− lymphocyte migration into Peyer’s patches during short-term and long-term in vivo migration assays (>99% inhibition, p < 0.01). The lack of lymphocyte migration into Peyer’s patches correlated directly with the dramatically reduced size and cellularity (99% reduced) of this tissue in L-selectin/β7 integrin−/− mice. High numbers of injected L-selectin/β7 integrin−/− lymphocytes remaining in the blood of wild-type mice correlated with markedly increased numbers of circulating lymphocytes in L-selectin/β7 integrin−/− mice. Loss of either L-selectin or the β7 integrins alone resulted in significant but incomplete inhibition of Peyer’s patch migration. Collectively, the phenotype of L-selectin/β7 integrin−/− mice demonstrates that these two receptors primarily interact along the same adhesion pathway that is required for the vast majority of lymphocyte migration into Peyer’s patches.

Abstract
Abstract
Lymphocyte migration into lymphoid organs is regulated by tissue-specific adhesion molecules such as L-selectin and the α4β7 integrin. Whether L-selectin also regulates lymphocyte subset-specific migration into specific lymphoid tissues was examined in this study by comparing the migration of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and B cells from L-selectin-deficient and wild-type mice. T cells were the predominant lymphocyte subset entering PLN, MLN, Peyer’s patches, and spleen during short term (1-h) migration assays. However, both B cell and CD4+ and CD8+ T cell entries into PLN, MLN, and Peyer’s patches were dramatically impaired (73–98%) by loss of L-selectin. Lymphocyte expression of α4β7 integrin did not compensate for the loss of L-selectin, since both B and T cells predominantly migrated into the spleen in the absence of L-selectin. The more efficient migration of T cells into peripheral lymphoid tissues relative to that of B cells was partly explained by the finding that T cells expressed L-selectin at 50 to 100% higher levels than B cells. In addition, a 50% reduction in L-selectin expression by lymphocytes from hemizygous L-selectin+/− mice resulted in a 50 to 70% decrease in short term lymphocyte migration into peripheral lymphoid tissues relative to that of wild-type lymphocytes. Thus, the differential migration of T and B lymphocyte subsets to lymphoid tissues is regulated in part by subset-specific differences in L-selectin expression levels.
