Abstract
Annexins are a family of proteins that bind to phospholipids and carbohydrates in a calcium-dependent manner. They are present in a variety of body fluids. Previous studies have shown that annexins have anti-inflammatory activities for lipid A of Gram-negative bacteria. The present study investigated the effect of annexins on interaction between Gram-positive bacteria and immune cells such as macrophages. Annexins I and IV bound to lipoteichoic acids which are surface molecules on Gram-positive bacteria. Binding of annexins I and IV to whole Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were observed and these bindings were inhibited by lipoteichoic acid from S. aureus. Moreover, annexins I and IV suppressed the attachment of S. aureus to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-treated THP-1 cells (human macrophages). These results suggest that annexins I and IV have ligand specificities toward foreign substances, and that the annexins might have some anti-inflammatory property for Gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract
Recent studies have proposed a functional link between annexin 1 (ANXA1), an endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator, and receptors of the formyl-peptide family. In particular, exogenous and endogenous ANXA1 and its peptidomimetics interact with one member of this family, the formyl-peptide-receptor-like 1. Further analyses of the interactions between ANXA1 and this and other members of this receptor family, and a better characterization of the ANXA1 receptor systems in models of inflammation, might clarify their mechanism of anti-inflammatory effects. This line of research will facilitate the development of ANXA1 mimetics and take advantage of >20 years of biological research into the functions of this glucocorticoid-modulated protein.

Abstract
Annexin-1 (ANX-1) is an anti-inflammatory protein induced by glucocorticoids. Like glucocorticoids, ANX-1 and derived peptides inhibit eicosanoid synthesis, block leukocyte migration and induce apoptosis of inflammatory cells. Cytokines may possess either pro-inflammatory, i.e. interleukin(IL)-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, IL-12 or anti-inflammatory properties, i.e. IL-4, IL-10. The experiments described in the present study have been performed to answer the question whether the anti-inflammatory action of ANX-1 may be mediated, at least in part, by the release of IL-10. In macrophage (J774) cell line cultures primed with lipolysaccharide (LPS), recombinant ANX-1 stimulated IL-10 release in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In the same cells, the protein and its derived N-terminal peptide (amino acids 2-26) dose-dependently inhibited the release of nitric oxide (NO). Furthermore, both the whole protein and the peptide down-regulated the mRNA expression of the inducible nitric oxide sythase (iNOS). The peptide was also able to inhibit the expression of IL-12 mRNA. These results suggest that some of the anti-inflammatory effects of ANX-1 may be mediated by the release of IL-10, which, in turn, inhibits iNOS mRNA expression and, hence, NO release. In addition, ANX-1-stimulated IL-10 release may also be responsible for the inhibition of IL-12 mRNA expression and, consequently, IL-12 synthesis.

Abstract
(1) L-selectin, constitutively expressed by leukocytes, is involved in the initial binding of leukocytes to activated endothelium. Anti-inflammatory drugs like glucocorticoids can induce shedding of L-selectin, but the mechanism is still unknown. Annexin 1, a protein whose synthesis and externalization/secretion are induced during the inflammatory response, has been proposed as a mediator of the anti-inflammatory actions of glucocorticoids. (2) The monocytic cell line U-937 strongly expresses Annexin 1 after 24 h of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 nm) treatment and externalizes/releases the protein after additional 16 h of dexamethasone (1 microm) treatment. (3) This study investigated the possible regulation of cell surface L-selectin shedding by endogenous Annexin 1, and its role in glucocorticoid-induced L-selectin shedding in the U-937 cell line. (4) PMA- and dexamethasone treatment-induced L-selectin shedding was potentially mediated by Annexin 1, since neutralizing antibodies against Annexin 1 reduced dexamethasone- and Annexin 1-induced shedding. (5) Immunoprecipitation and binding assays provided support for the suggestion that this effect could be mediated by an interaction between externalized Annexin 1 and L-selectin. Such interaction involved the N-terminal domain of Annexin 1 and was calcium-dependent. Confocal microscopy studies demonstrated increased colocalization of Annexin 1 and L-selectin on the cell surface. (6) Overall, our study provides new insights into the potential role of endogenous ANXA1 as a mediator of dexamethasone-induced L-selectin shedding, which may contribute to the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids.

Abstract
The glucocorticoid-inducible protein annexin (ANXA) 1 is an anti-inflammatory mediator that down-regulates the host response. Endogenously, ANXA1 is released in large amounts from adherent polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and binds to their cell surface to inhibit their extravasation into inflamed tissues. The present study determined the effects of exogenous ANXA1 on several functions of human PMN in vitro. Addition of 0.1-1 microM human recombinant ANXA1 to the PMN provoked rapid and transient changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations that were blocked by the Ca2+ channel inhibitor SKF-96365. Although ANXA1 did not affect oxidant production and only minimally affected PMN chemotactic properties, the ANXA1-promoted Ca2+ influx was associated with two important functional effects: shedding of L-selectin and acceleration of PMN apoptosis. The latter effect was confirmed using three distinct technical procedures, namely, cell cycle, Hoechst staining, and ANXA5 binding assay. ANXA1-induced PMN apoptosis was insensitive to inhibitors of L-selectin shedding, whereas it appeared to be associated with dephosphorylation of the proapoptotic intracellular mediator BAD. In conclusion, exogenous ANXA1 displayed selective actions on human PMN. We propose that the new proapoptotic effect reported here may be part of the spectrum of ANXA1-mediated events involved in the resolution of acute inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been implicated in infiltration of foam cells derived from circulating monocytes. Monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells and migration into dermis are essential steps for infiltration of foam cells. OBJECTIVE We investigated the role of adhesion molecules contributing to the process of monocyte adhesion to human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMEC). Special attention was paid to the signal transduction for adhesion molecule expression induced by two distinct types of oxidized LDL. METHODS HDMEC were incubated with xanthoma tissue-modified LDL (x-LDL), a model of extravasated LDL oxidized in xanthoma lesions, or Cu(2+)-treated LDL (Cu-LDL), a model of oxidized LDL. Adhesion of U937 cells, a human monocytic leukemia cell line, to HDMEC and expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules on HDMEC were examined. Signal transduction pathways for the adhesion molecule expression were evaluated by employing specific inhibitors. RESULTS x-LDL induced adhesion of U937 cells to HDMEC through vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and E-selectin by activating tyrosine kinase pathway. Cu-LDL up-regulated the adhesion through not only VCAM-1 and E-selectin but also intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) by activating G(i) protein pathway. CONCLUSION Extravasated and oxidized LDL in xanthoma lesions contributes to foam cell recruitment by activating tyrosine kinase pathway and inducing adhesion of monocytes to HDMEC through VCAM-1 and E-selectin. Cu-LDL, on the other hand, activates G(i) protein pathway and induces the adhesion through ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin.

Abstract
EMILIN-1 (Elastin Microfibril Interface Located ProteIN), the prototype of the EMILIN family, consists of a cysteine-rich domain (EMI domain) at the N terminus, an extended region with a high potential coiled-coil structure, a short collagenous stalk, and a self-interacting globular gC1q-l domain. EMILIN-1 is an adhesive extracellular matrix constituent associated with elastic fibers, detected also in the proximity of cell surfaces. To localize the cell attachment site(s), monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against EMILIN-1 or the gC1q-1 domain were used to inhibit cell attachment to EMILIN-1. Thus, one mAb mapping to the gC1q-1 domain caused complete inhibition of cell attachment. EMILIN-1 and gC1q-1 displayed a comparable dose-dependent ability to promote cell adhesion. Adhesion kinetics was similar to that of fibronectin (FN), reaching the maximum level of attachment at 20 min, but in the absence of cations adhesion was negligible. The relative adhesion strength to detach 50% of the cells was similar for EMILIN-1 and gC1q-1 (250-270 x g) but lower than that for FN (>>500). Cell adhesion to EMILIN-1 or gC1q-1 was completely blocked by a function-blocking beta(1) integrin subunit mAb. In contrast, adhesion to the complement C1q component was totally unaffected. Among the various function-blocking mAbs against the alpha integrin subunits only the anti-alpha(4) fully abrogated cell adhesion to gC1q-1 and up to 70% to EMILIN-1. Furthermore, only K562 cells transfected with the alpha(4) integrin chain, but not wild type K562, were able to adhere to EMILIN-1 and were specifically inhibited by anti-alpha(4) function-blocking mAb. Finally, cells attached to EMILIN-1 or gC1q-1, compared with cells plated on FN or vitronectin, which appeared well spread out on the substrate with prominent stress fibers and focal contacts, were much smaller with wide ruffles and a different organization status of the actin cytoskeleton along the cell periphery. This pattern was in accord with the ability of EMILIN-1 to promote cell movement.

Abstract
The effect of the glucocorticoid inducible protein annexin 1 (ANXA1) on the process of monocytic cell migration was studied using transfected U937 cells expressing variable protein levels. An antisense (AS) (36.4AS; approximately 50% less ANXA1) and a sense (S) clone (15S; overexpressing the bioactive 24-kDa fragment) together with the empty plasmid CMV clone were obtained and compared with wild-type U937 cells in various models of cell migration in vitro and in vivo. 15S-transfected U937 cells displayed a reduced (50%) degree of trans-endothelial migration in response to stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12)). In addition, the inhibitory role of endogenous ANXA1 on U937 cell migration in vitro was confirmed by the potentiating effect of a neutralizing anti-ANXA1 serum. Importantly, overexpression of ANXA1 in clone 15S inhibited the extent of cell migration into rheumatoid synovial grafts transplanted into SCID mice. ANXA1 inhibitory effects were not due to modifications in adhesion molecule or CXCL12 receptor (CXCR4) expression as shown by the similar amounts of surface molecules found in transfected and wild-type U937 cells. Likewise, an equal chemotactic response to CXCL12 in vitro excluded an intrinsic defect in cell motility in clones 15S and 36.4AS. These data strongly support the notion that ANXA1 critically interferes with a leukocyte endothelial step essential for U937 cell, and possibly monocyte, transmigration both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid molecules endowed with powerful anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Traditionally, the anti-inflammatory action of GC has been largely ascribed to the synthesis of lipocortin-1 (now know as annexin I), while the immunosuppressive effect has been linked to the inhibition of several immune functions and the synthesis of important cytokines and chemokines. In addition to these modes of action, there is a mounting body of evidence suggesting that GCs can also inhibit cell adhesion events, which also play a crucial role in the inflammatory/ immune response. The mechanisms by which GCs modulate cell adhesion are complex and multifactorial. It is now clear that GCs can directly regulate cell adhesion molecule (CAM) gene transactivation through the classical glucocorticoid receptor (GR) pathways. These involve interference with activation/ transcription factors such as AP-1 and NF-kappaB, as well as binding of the GC-GR complex to specific DNA sequences, called glucocorticoid response element "GRE," with ensuing CAM gene inhibition. In addition to these "genomic" mechanisms, there is increasing recognition of alternative modalities of action of GC that are independent from modulating gene expression and for this reason defined as "non-genomic." These are characterized by a rapid response (seconds/minutes) and insensitivity to inhibitors of gene transcription and protein synthesis. The non-genomic effects could be due to direct physicochemical interactions with cell membrane constituents including ion channels and membrane associated proteins. This would lead to inhibition of intracellular signaling pathways involved in CAM activation and cytoskeleton reorganization essential for cell adhesion and locomotion.

Abstract
Annexins are Ca2+ and phospholipid binding proteins forming an evolutionary conserved multigene family with members of the family being expressed throughout animal and plant kingdoms. Structurally, annexins are characterized by a highly alpha-helical and tightly packed protein core domain considered to represent a Ca2+-regulated membrane binding module. Many of the annexin cores have been crystallized, and their molecular structures reveal interesting features that include the architecture of the annexin-type Ca2+ binding sites and a central hydrophilic pore proposed to function as a Ca2+ channel. In addition to the conserved core, all annexins contain a second principal domain. This domain, which NH2-terminally precedes the core, is unique for a given member of the family and most likely specifies individual annexin properties in vivo. Cellular and animal knock-out models as well as dominant-negative mutants have recently been established for a number of annexins, and the effects of such manipulations are strikingly different for different members of the family. At least for some annexins, it appears that they participate in the regulation of membrane organization and membrane traffic and the regulation of ion (Ca2+) currents across membranes or Ca2+ concentrations within cells. Although annexins lack signal sequences for secretion, some members of the family have also been identified extracellularly where they can act as receptors for serum proteases on the endothelium as well as inhibitors of neutrophil migration and blood coagulation. Finally, deregulations in annexin expression and activity have been correlated with human diseases, e.g., in acute promyelocytic leukemia and the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and the term annexinopathies has been coined.

Abstract
The nasal epithelium is an important target site for chemically-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity in rodents. Gene expression profiles were determined in order to provide normal baseline data for nasal transitional/respiratory epithelium from healthy rats. Cells lining the rat nasal passages were collected and gene expression analysis was performed using Clontech cDNA Rat Atlas 1.2 arrays (1185 genes). The percentages of genes within specific average expression ranges were 4.2% at 45,000-1000, 14.8% at 1000-200, 25.0% at 200-68, and 56.0% below 68. Nine out of a subset of ten genes were confirmed for relative signal intensity using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The most highly expressed genes included those involved in phase I (e.g. cytochrome P450s) and phase II (e.g. glutathione S-transferases) xenobiotic metabolism, bioenergetics (e.g. cytochrome oxidase), osmotic balance (e.g. Na(+)/K(+) ATPase) and epithelial ionic homeostasis (e.g. ion channels). Such baseline data will contribute to further understanding the normal physiology of these cells and facilitate the interpretation of responses by the nasal epithelial cells to xenobiotic treatment or disease.

Abstract
Annexin 1 (ANXA1) is a calcium-binding protein endowed with anti-inflammatory properties. Using an extra-hepatic system, we showed that interleukin (IL)-6 regulates ANXA1 expression at the transcriptional level. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ANXA1 synthesis was modulated by IL-6 during experimental inflammation. We have compared liver ANXA1 expression during systemic and localized inflammatory reaction, using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and turpentine. LPS treatment strongly induced ANXA1 expression in the liver of wild-type (WT) animals (+600%) whereas a modest increase (+60%) was measured in IL-6 knockout (KO) animals. Turpentine treatment did not affect the expression of ANXA1 in either animal type. LPS enhanced serum corticosteroid levels equally in WT and IL-6 KO mice, whereas higher tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and IL-1beta levels were released in IL-6 KO animals. Injection of mouse recombinant IL-6 to IL-6 KO animals before LPS or TNF-alpha challenge, replenished ANXA1 liver synthesis to that of WT animals. Exogenous ANXA1 but not ANXA5, administered to IL-6 KO mice before LPS challenge inhibited TNF-alpha release. We propose that ANXA1 acts as a novel acute phase protein, which is controlled in the liver by TNF-alpha and IL-6, and which may contribute to the resolution of systemic endotoxemia through a negative feedback on TNF-alpha release.

Abstract
Myocardial reperfusion injury is associated with the infiltration of blood-borne polymorphonuclear leukocytes. We have previous described the protection afforded by annexin 1 (ANXA1) in an experimental model of rat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. We examined the 1) amino acid region of ANXA1 that retained the protective effect in a model of rat heart IR; 2) changes in endogenous ANXA1 in relation to the IR induced damage and after pharmacological modulation; and 3) potential involvement of the formyl peptide receptor (FPR) in the protective action displayed by ANXA1 peptides. Administration of peptide Ac2-26 at 0, 30, and 60 min postreperfusion produced a significant protection against IR injury, and this was associated with reduced myeloperoxidase activity and IL-1beta levels in the infarcted heart. Western blotting and electron microscopy analyses showed that IR heart had increased ANXA1 expression in the injured tissue, associated mainly with the infiltrated leukocytes. Finally, an antagonist to the FPR receptor selectively inhibited the protective action of peptide ANXA1 and its derived peptides against IR injury. Altogether, these data provide further insight into the protective effect of ANXA1 and its mimetics and a rationale for a clinical use for drugs developed from this line of research.

Abstract
An innovative avenue for anti-inflammatory therapy is inhibition of neutrophil extravasation by potentiating the action of endogenous anti-inflammatory mediators. The glucocorticoid-inducible protein annexin 1 and derived peptides are effective in inhibiting neutrophil extravasation. Here we tested the hypothesis that an interaction with the receptor for formylated peptide (FPR), so far reported only in vitro, could be the mechanism for this in vivo action. In a model of mouse peritonitis, FPR antagonists abrogated the anti-migratory effects of peptides Ac2-26 and Ac2-12, with a partial reduction in annexin 1 effects. A similar result was obtained in FPR (knock-out) KO mice. Binding of annexin 1 to circulating leukocytes was reduced (>50%) in FPR KO mice. In vitro, annexin binding to peritoneal macrophages was also markedly reduced in FPR KO mice. Finally, evidence of direct annexin 1 binding to murine FPR was obtained with HEK-293 cells transfected with the receptor. Overall, these results indicate a functional role for FPR in the anti-migratory effect of annexin 1 and derived peptides.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids can dampen inflammatory responses by inhibiting neutrophil recruitment to tissue sites. The detailed mechanism by which glucocorticoids exert this affect on neutrophils is unknown. L-selectin is a leukocyte cell surface receptor that is implicated in several steps of neutrophil recruitment. Recently, several studies have shown that systemic treatment of animals and humans with glucocorticoids induces decreased L-selectin expression on neutrophils, suggesting one mechanism by which inflammation may be negatively regulated. However, when neutrophils are treated in vitro with glucocorticoids, no effect on L-selectin expression is observed. Thus, the existence of an additional mediator is plausible. In this study, we investigate whether annexin 1 (ANX1), a recognized second messenger of glucocorticoids, could be such a mediator. We show that ANX1 induces a dose- and time-dependent decrease in L-selectin expression on both peripheral blood neutrophils and monocytes but has no effect on lymphocytes. The loss of L-selectin from neutrophils is due to shedding that is mediated by a cell surface metalloprotease ("sheddase"). Using cell shape and a beta(2) integrin activation epitope, we show that the ANX1-induced shedding of L-selectin appears to occur without overt cell activation. These data may provide the basis for further understanding of mechanisms involved in the down-regulation of inflammatory responses.

Abstract
We recently showed that a class of novel carboxylated N:-glycans was constitutively expressed on endothelial cells. Activated, but not resting, neutrophils expressed binding sites for the novel glycans. We also showed that a mAb against these novel glycans (mAbGB3.1) inhibited leukocyte extravasation in a murine model of peritoneal inflammation. To identify molecules that mediated these interactions, we isolated binding proteins from bovine lung by their differential affinity for carboxylated or neutralized glycans. Two leukocyte calcium-binding proteins that bound in a carboxylate-dependent manner were identified as S100A8 and annexin I. An intact N terminus of annexin I and heteromeric assembly of S100A8 with S100A9 (another member of the S100 family) appeared necessary for this interaction. A mAb to S100A9 blocked neutrophil binding to immobilized carboxylated glycans. Purified human S100A8/A9 complex and recombinant human annexin I showed carboxylate-dependent binding to immobilized bovine lung carboxylated glycans and recognized a subset of mannose-labeled endothelial glycoproteins immunoprecipitated by mAbGB3.1. Saturable binding of S100A8/A9 complex to endothelial cells was also blocked by mAbGB3.1. These results suggest that the carboxylated glycans play important roles in leukocyte trafficking by interacting with proteins known to modulate extravasation.
