Abstract
Changes in the differential blood cell count, monocyte phenotype and the cytokine plasma levels in a group of seven patients with cardiac surgery/cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and nine patients with thoracic surgery/without CPB, both receiving identical opioid-based anaesthetic technique, were assessed. A significant reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes and monocytes was observed after anaesthesia and surgery. Interestingly, at the end of surgery as well as 1 day post-surgery a marked increase in the number of granulocytes was noted. General anaesthesia and surgery caused a significant reduction of HLA-DR and CD11c/CD18 molecules, starting immediately after induction of anaesthesia, and an increase of CD64 at day 1 after anaesthesia. The use of a CPB was followed by a significant reduction of CD32, CD16, CD54 and HLA-ABC antigens expression at the end of surgery. One day after surgery these parameters returned nearly to baseline values with the exception of CD54. A monocyte subpopulation, characterized by low CD14, high CD16 and HLA-DR expression (CD14+CD16+HLA-DR++) was found in both groups at each time point, and the percentage of this cell subset decreased from baseline to 24 h. The plasma concentrations of IL-6 and IL-10 increased considerably during CPB. No dynamic changes of IL-1 level due to surgery or CPB were found. We conclude that anaesthesia as well as the use of CPB induced profound alterations in the number of circulating leucocytes, and in the phenotype of monocyte and cytokine production.

Abstract
Neutrophils contribute to hepatocellular injury in a number of acute inflammatory reactions. However, the molecular mechanism of parenchymal cell injury remains controversial. To address the issue of whether or not reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important in the injury process, we used the galactosamine/endotoxin (Gal/ET) model of acute liver failure, which involves a neutrophil-mediated parenchymal cell injury. In C3Heb/FeJ mice, Gal/ET induced a significant increase of hepatic and plasma levels of glutathione disulfide (GSSG), an indicator of oxidant stress, selectively during the neutrophil-mediated injury phase. In glutathione peroxidase-deficient mice (Gpx1(-/-)), Gal/ET or Gal/tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) caused more severe neutrophil-mediated liver injury compared with wild-type animals. However, there was no significant difference in other critical parameters, e.g., activation of the transcription factor, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), parenchymal cell apoptosis, and neutrophil sequestration in the liver. Our results suggest that neutrophil-derived ROS are responsible for an intracellular oxidant stress in hepatocytes after Gal/ET treatment. Because of the higher susceptibility of Gpx1(-/-) mice to a neutrophil-mediated injury, we conclude that peroxides generated by neutrophils diffused into hepatocytes and contributed to parenchymal cell death in vivo. Thus, strengthening defense mechanisms against ROS in target cells can attenuate excessive inflammatory injury without affecting host defense reactions.

Abstract
The photoreduction of 2'-7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) was investigated in buffer solution using direct electron spin resonance (ESR) and the ESR spin-trapping technique. Anaerobic studies of the reaction of DCF in the presence of reducing agents demonstrated that during visible irradiation (lambda > 300 nm) 2'-7'-dichlorofluorescein undergoes one-electron reduction to produce a semiquinone-type free radical as demonstrated by direct ESR. Spin-trapping studies of incubations containing DCF, 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) and either reduced glutathione (GSH) or reduced NADH demonstrate, under irradiation with visible light, the production of the superoxide dismutase-sensitive DMPO/*OOH adduct. In the absence of DMPO, measurements with a Clark-type oxygen electrode show that molecular oxygen is consumed in a light-dependent process. The semiquinone radical of DCF, when formed in an aerobic system, is immediately oxidized by oxygen, which regenerates the dye and forms superoxide.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that circulating neutrophils (PMNs) contribute to the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury. PMN-endothelial cell interactions are highly regulated by adhesive interactions between PMN CD11/CD18 and coronary endothelial cell intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). We investigated the effects of MI/R in wild-type, CD18-, and ICAM-1-deficient (-/-) mice. Wild-type (n = 6), CD18 -/- (n = 6), and ICAM-1 -/- (n = 6) mice were subjected to 30 min of myocardial ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion to determine the extent of PMN infiltration and myocardial cell necrosis. Myocardial infarction (% of the area at risk) was 45.1 +/- 5.9 in wild-type mouse hearts. In contrast, the extent of myocardial infarction was significantly (P < 0.05) reduced in the CD18 (19.3 +/- 5.1%)- and ICAM-1 (17.9 +/- 3.2%)-deficient mice. Similarly, PMN infiltration into the ischemic-reperfused myocardium was attenuated by 54% in the CD18 -/- mice and by 32% in ICAM-1 -/- mice compared with wild-type hearts. Deficiency in either CD18 or ICAM-1 expression results in a marked reduction in PMN accumulation and myocardial necrosis after acute MI/R.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that treatment with the glutathione repleting agent, L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (OTZ), could prevent endotoxin-induced ventricular dysfunction. Rabbits were treated with OTZ 2.4 g/kg (10% solution subcutaneously), or an equal volume and osmolality of saline, 24 h prior to, and again (intravenously) just prior to, infusion of 1 mg/kg E. coli endotoxin (or vehicle control). Ventricular contractility was measured in isolated hearts perfused by support rabbits. Contractility did not change in control groups (Saline/Control [n = 7] or OTZ/Control [n = 7]) over 6 h. However, Emax decreased in the Saline/Endotoxin group (-16.1 +/- 4.5% from baseline, n = 7, p < 0.05) and this was prevented by pretreatment with OTZ in the OTZ/ Endotoxin group (+6.3 +/- 4.1%, n = 7, p < 0.05 by analysis of variance). To better understand the mechanism of this effect we measured myocardial glutathione concentration and found it to be greater in OTZ/Endotoxin animals (104 +/- 4 ng/g) than in the Saline/Endotoxin animals (80 +/- 3 ng/g, p < 0.05). OTZ did not appreciably alter the endotoxin-induced increase in serum concentration of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or the endotoxin-induced increase in myocardial leukocyte content. We conclude that oxygen radicals contribute to the early decrease in left ventricular contractility after endotoxin infusion and this decrease may be prevented by OTZ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophil-induced cardiomyocyte injury requires the expression of myocyte intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and ICAM-1-CD11b/CD18 adhesion. We have previously demonstrated interleukin (IL)-6 activity in postischemic cardiac lymph; IL-6 is the primary stimulus for myocyte ICAM- 1 induction. Furthermore, we found that induction of IL-6 mRNA occurred very early on reperfusion of the infarcted myocardium. We hypothesized that the release of a preformed upstream cytokine induced IL-6 in leukocytes infiltrating on reperfusion. METHODS AND RESULTS Constitutive expression of TNF-alpha and not IL-1beta was demonstrated in the normal canine myocardium and was localized predominantly in cardiac mast cells. Mast cell degranulation in the ischemic myocardium was documented by demonstration of a rapid release of histamine and TNF-alpha in the cardiac lymph after myocardial ischemia. Histochemical studies with FITC-labeled avidin demonstrated degranulating mast cells only in ischemic samples of canine myocardium. Immunohistochemistry suggested that degranulating mast cells were the primary source of TNF-alpha in the ischemic myocardium. In situ hybridization studies of reperfused myocardium localized IL-6 mRNA in infiltrating mononuclear cells and in mononuclear cells appearing in the postischemic cardiac lymph within the first 15 minutes of reperfusion. Furthermore, isolated canine mononuclear cells incubated with postischemic cardiac lymph demonstrated significant induction of IL-6 mRNA, which was partially blocked with a neutralizing antibody to TNF-alpha. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac mast cells degranulate after myocardial ischemia, releasing preformed mediators, such as histamine and TNF-alpha. We suggest that mast cell-derived TNF-alpha may be a crucial factor in upregulating IL-6 in infiltrating leukocytes and initiating the cytokine cascade responsible for myocyte ICAM-1 induction and subsequent neutrophil-induced injury.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated direct evidence of respiratory burst of the neutrophil in the pulmonary circulation of the endotoxin-infused rat (Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 1995;152:348-354). To determine the role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in this model, we neutralized ICAM-1 using antirat ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 1A29. We observed and measured the number of sticking leukocytes and the amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the pulmonary circulation of the endotoxin-infused rat by means of a fluoro-imaging technique. The rats received 4.5 mg/kg/h of endotoxin for 2 h. Ten rats received 2 mg/kg of mAb 1A29 20 min before the intravenous infusion of endotoxin. Although the pretreatment with mAb 1A29 did not reduce the number of leukocytes sticking to the pulmonary capillaries, it almost completely inhibited the H2O2 production of leukocytes in the rat lung infused with endotoxin. We confirmed that the leukocytes that produced H2O2 were neutrophil by an electron microscopic cerium technique. We conclude that, although ICAM-1 is not necessary for neutrophil to stick to the capillary in the rat pulmonary circulation infused with endotoxin, ICAM-1 is required for neutrophil H2O2 production in this model.

Abstract
It has been reported that reperfusion is the most important factor in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, causes of I/R injury in the lung are controversial, because oxygen is always supplied if ventilation continues. Therefore, we hypothesized that nonhypoxic ischemia without reperfusion is sufficient for lung injury. To test our hypothesis, we measured both hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production in the pulmonary circulation, by digital imaging fluorescent dichlorofluorescein, and microvascular permeability (MVP), by the Evans blue extravasation technique in the nonhypoxic ischemia rat lung. We made a nonhypoxic ischemia rat lung by clamping the left pulmonary artery. Both H2O2 production and MVP increased in the nonhypoxic ischemia rat lung. We also determined the effect of oxygen removal by clamping the bronchus in advance of pulmonary artery occlusion, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) neutralization with monoclonal antibody 1A29, and platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist CV6209 on H2O2 production and MVP. These treatments inhibited both H2O2 production and MVP increase. At high-power viewing of the fluorescent dichlorofluorescein image, H2O2 was detected in the leukocytes within pulmonary capillaries. These data indicate that the nonhypoxic ischemia without reperfusion alone causes radical production and increases MVP. Furthermore, PAF and ICAM-1 contribute to these reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) plays an important role in the trafficking and activation of leukocytes and is up-regulated in inflamed mucosa in Crohn's disease. ISIS 2302 is an antisense phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotide that inhibits ICAM-1 expression. The aim of this study was to obtain preliminary assessment of tolerability, pharmacology, and efficacy of ISIS 2302 in Crohn's disease. METHODS Twenty patients with active, steroid-treated Crohn's disease were randomized (3:1, ISIS 2302 to placebo) to receive over 26 days 13 intravenous infusions of ISIS 2302 (0.5, 1, or 2 mg/kg) or saline placebo in a double-blinded study. The patients were followed up for 6 months. RESULTS At the end of treatment. 47% (7 of 15) of ISIS 2302-treated and 20% (1 of 5) of the placebo-treated patients were in remission (Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] < 150). At the end of month 6, 5 of these 7 ISIS 2302-treated remitters were still in remission, and a 6th patient had a CDAI of 156. Corticosteroid usage was significantly lower (P = 0.0001) in the ISIS 2302-treated patients. These findings were corroborated by significant increases in beta7 and alpha d bearing CD3+ peripheral blood lymphocytes and by decreases in intestinal mucosal ICAM-1 expression during the treatment period. CONCLUSIONS ISIS 2302 seems to be a well-tolerated and promising therapy for steroid-treated Crohn's disease.

Abstract
This study is designed to evaluate the effect of hyaluronidase on the canine myocardial edema derived from ischemia/reperfusion injury. The mongrel dog's heart received 90 minutes of ischemia under cardiopulmonary bypass consisting of 30 minutes of normothermia alone and 60 minutes of hypothermia with cardioplegic arrest. Reperfusion for 60 minutes was added thereafter. Two kinds of cardioplegic solution, 4 degrees C St. Thomas' Hospital solution with or without 3000 units/L of hyaluronidase, were prepared. The solution was given antegradely every 30 minutes during cardioplegic arrest. Cardiac lymph was collected continuously from the afferent duct of the cardiac lymph node by cannulation. Hyaluronidase in the cardioplegic solution increased cardiac lymph volume significantly and improved postischemic recovery of cardiac function. A high level of adenosine triphosphate was maintained at that time. The myocardial water content at the end of reperfusion revealed a minimum increase with hyaluronidase use. Active drainage of cardiac lymph by hyaluronidase alleviates the myocardial edema formation, thereby preserving cardiac function.

Abstract
1. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) may contribute to the pathogenesis of acute coronary heart disease (CHD). 2. Epidemiological and laboratory evidence suggests that red wine, by virtue of its polyphenolic constituents, may be more effective than other alcoholic beverages in reducing the risk of CHD mortality. 3 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of trans-resveratrol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), a polyphenol present in most red wines, on functional and biochemical responses of PMN, upon in vitro activation. 4. trans-Resveratrol exerted a strong inhibitory effect on reactive oxygen species produced by PMN stimulated with 1 microM formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalamine (fMLP) (IC50 1.3+/-0.13 microM, mean+/-s.e.mean), as evaluated by luminol-amplified chemiluminescence. 5. trans-Resveratrol prevented the release of elastase and beta-glucuronidase by PMN stimulated with the receptor agonists fMLP (1 microM, IC50 18.4+/-1.8 and 31+/-1.8 microM), and C5a (0.1 microM, IC50 41.6+/-3.5 and 42+/-8.3 microM), and also inhibited elastase and beta-glucuronidase secretion (IC50 37.7+/-7 and 25.4+/-2.2 microM) and production of 5-lipoxygenase metabolites leukotriene B4 (LTB4), 6-trans-LTB4 and 12-trans-epi-LTB4 (IC50 48+/-7 microM) by PMN stimulated with the calcium ionophore A23187 (5 microM). 6. trans-Resveratrol significantly reduced the expression and activation of the beta2 integrin MAC-1 on PMN surface following stimulation, as revealed by FACS analysis of the binding of an anti-MAC-1 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) and of the CBRM1/5 MoAb, recognizing an activation-dependent epitope on MAC-1. Consistently, PMN homotypic aggregation and formation of mixed cell-conjugates between PMN and thrombin-stimulated fixed platelets in a dynamic system were also prevented by transresveratrol. 7. These results, indicating that trans-resveratrol interferes with the release of inflammatory mediators by activated PMN and down-regulates adhesion-dependent thrombogenic PMN functions, may provide some biological plausibility to the protective effect of red wine consumption against CHD.

Abstract
Although the signaling pathways leading to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced endothelial monolayer permeability remain ambiguous, cytoskeletal proteins are known to be essential for maintaining endothelial integrity and regulating solute flux through the monolayer. We have recently demonstrated that thrombin-induced actin reorganization in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAEC) requires activation of both myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and protein kinase C (PKC). Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the effects of H2O2 on actin reorganization in BPAEC. H2O2 initiated sustained recruitment of actin to the cytoskeleton and transient myosin recruitment in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The H2O2-induced actin recruitment was significantly inhibited by the calmodulin antagonists, W7 and TFP, but not by the MLCK inhibitor, KT5926, nor the PKC inhibitors, H7 and calphostin C. H2O2 also caused actin filament rearrangement in BPAEC with disruption of the dense peripheral bands and formation of stress fibers. These alterations occurred prior to actin translocation to the cytoskeleton and are prevented by inhibition of either MLCK or PKC. High concentrations of H2O2 transiently attenuated PKC activity but slightly increased the phosphorylation of the prominent PKC substrate and actin-binding protein, myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), by 5 min. However, MARCKS phosphorylation was reduced to below basal levels by 30 min. On the other hand, H2O2 induced a time- and dose-dependent phosphorylation of myosin light chains which was eliminated by both MLCK and PKC inhibitors. These data suggest that MLCK contributes to H2O2-induced myosin light chain phosphorylation and actin rearrangement and that PKC may play a permissive role. Neither of these enzymes appears to be involved in the H2O2-induced recruitment of actin to the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
We are now developing the means to evaluate components of this inflammatory response that may facilitate healing. A key event in the change in the inflammatory response is the development of a cytokine cascade that promotes phenotypic changes in the infiltrating leukocytes, which endow them with the ability to promote fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition, the hallmarks of healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of increased donor cardiac intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) expression on both reperfusion injury and chronic graft vascular disease after transplantation. METHODS Hearts were harvested from donor rats before and after pretreatment with lipopolysaccharide at -24 hours, underwent 45 minutes of cold ischemia, and were transplanted into ACI recipients with or without anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody treatment. Grafts were procured early for analysis of ICAM-1 expression and reperfusion injury or the recipients were treated with cyclosporin A (to allow long-term graft acceptance) for postoperative days 0 through 9 with procurement on postoperative day 90 to histologically score for chronic graft vascular disease. RESULTS Lipopolysaccharide-pretreated PVG heart grafts showed increased ICAM-1 expression by Northern blot and immunohistochemical analysis leading to increased reperfusion injury as assessed by neutrophil infiltration (myeloperoxidase), cardiac edema (percentage wet weight), and histologic injury (percentage area of contraction band necrosis), which was reversed by recipient treatment with anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody. After administration of cyclosporin A, 5 mg/kg for 10 days, lipopolysaccharide-treated grafts had significantly worse chronic graft vascular disease scores (2.56 +/- 0.57 versus 1.84 +/- 0.75; p < 0.05 by Mann-Whitney U test). CONCLUSIONS The induction donor inflammatory state before harvest leading to increased cardiac ICAM-1 expression promotes reperfusion injury and chronic graft vascular disease after transplantation in this rodent heterotopic heart model.

Abstract
Previous work has shown that neutrophils isolated from whole blood adhere to cardiac-myocytes via CD18 (beta 2 integrin) to cause injury to the heart cells. In vitro, we have found that upon endothelial transmigration, neutrophils can also express alpha 4 beta 1; however, whether this contributes to neutrophil adhesion to parenchymal cells remains entirely unknown. Unstimulated and tumor necrosis factor-alpha-stimulated rat cardiac myocytes adherent to gelatin-coated coverslips supported N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced neutrophil (isolated from whole blood) adhesion entirely via CD18 (blocked with monoclonal antibody [mAb] WT-3). Emigrated neutrophils spontaneously adhered to cardiac myocytes also entirely via CD18. However, if fMLP was used to restimulate emigrated neutrophils, the adhesion to cardiac myocytes was entirely independent of CD18. Although an anti-alpha 4 integrin antibody (mAb TA-2) alone did not reduce the emigrated neutrophil-myocyte interaction, dual administration of TA-2 and WT-3 reduced adhesion by 81%. alpha 4 integrin was expressed in small amounts on the surface of circulating neutrophils, increased following transmigration, and then increased > 5-fold after restimulation of these emigrated neutrophils. In the presence of the anti-CD18 antibody, a fibronectin fragment (FN-40) but not a vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 antibody (mAb 5F10) inhibitied neutrophil-myocyte interactions by 80%. Similar results were seen when the rat chemokine CINC-gro was used instead of fMLP, suggesting that the alpha 4-dependent adhesion was not specific to fMLP. These data demonstrate that alpha 4 integrin can be physiologically induced to increase in number and avidity after neutrophil emigration and that this adhesion molecule can cause firm adhesion to fibronectin on parenchymal cells, including rat cardiac myocytes.

Abstract
Cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions are known to be mediated by specific cell adhesion receptors expressed on the cell surface. The characterization of these cell adhesion molecules has allowed researchers to examine their roles in a variety of physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. Numerous studies have demonstrated that myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is an acute inflammatory process in which leukocytes are intimately involved. In this review, we summarize the current data on the leukocyte cell adhesion cascade, focus upon studies which have demonstrated specific cell adhesion molecule interactions which mediate the leukocyte involvement in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and suggest future avenues of exploration and possible clinical implications of the studies reviewed.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is characterized by systemic endotoxemia immediately after its onset as well as the systemic release of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha and the interleukins 1 and 6. Recent studies document that increased morbidity and mortality rates correlate with elevated systemic concentrations of these proinflammatory cytokines during adult and neonatal sepsis, following thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair, as well as following CPB. These proinflammatory cytokines induce increased neutrophil and endothelial surface adhesive molecule expression, thereby promoting enhanced neutrophil-endothelial adherence. Increased neutrophil-endothelial adherence and subsequent neutrophil organ binding are thought to be a "final common pathway" of organ injury during clinical inflammatory conditions. Proinflammatory cytokines also increase cellular expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, thus increasing cellular production of nitric oxide, a known inflammatory mediator. This review discusses recent evidence of the adverse effects of proinflammatory cytokine release during CPB and therapeutic modalities that can reduce the systemic concentrations of these mediators of inflammation.

Abstract
The vascular endothelium is intimately involved in a wide variety of normal physiological processes, including coagulation/anticoagulation, the maintenance of vascular tone, and pathological processes, including reperfusion injury, inflammatory syndromes, and tumor cell metastasis. This review discusses the importance of increased adhesive molecule expression on the endothelial surface in promoting circulating inflammatory cell-endothelial adherence in inflammatory conditions, as well as the role of the vascular endothelium in reperfusion injury, altered microvascular permeability states, and atherogenesis.

Abstract
To better define the specific function of Mac-1 (CD11b) versus LFA-1 (CD11a) and the other CD11 integrins in vivo, we have disrupted murine CD11b by targeted homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells and generated mice which are homozygous for a mutation in CD11b. A null mutation was confirmed by Southern blotting, RNase protection assay, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Neutrophils isolated from mice deficient in Mac-1 were defective in adherence to keyhole limpet hemocyanin-coated glass, iC3b-mediated phagocytosis, and homotypic aggregation. When challenged by thioglycollate intraperitoneally, Mac-1-deficient mice had similar levels of neutrophil accumulation in the peritoneal cavity at 1, 2, and 4 h. Treatment with mAb to LFA-1 blocked 78% of neutrophil accumulation in Mac-1-deficient mice and 58% in wild-type mice. Neutrophil emigration into the peritoneal cavity 16 h after the implantation of fibrinogen-coated disks was not reduced in Mac-1-deficient mice whereas neutrophil adhesion to the fibrinogen-coated disks was reduced by > 90%. Neutrophils from Mac-1-deficient mice also showed reduced degranulation. Our results demonstrate that Mac-1 plays a critical role in mediating binding of neutrophils to fibrinogen and neutrophil degranulation, but is not necessary for effective neutrophil emigration, which is more dependent upon LFA-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial injury from ischemia can be aggravated by reperfusion of the jeopardized area. The precise underlying mechanisms have not been clearly defined, but proinflammatory events, including complement activation, leukocyte adhesion, and infiltration and release of diverse mediators, probably play important roles. The present study addresses the possibility of reducing reperfusion damage by the application of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH). METHODS AND RESULTS Cardioprotection by C1-INH 20 IU/kg IC was examined in a pig model with 60 minutes of coronary occlusion, followed by 120 minutes of reperfusion. C1-INH was administered during the first 5 minutes of coronary reperfusion Compared with the NaCl controls, C1-INH reduced myocardial injury (48.8 +/- 7.8% versus 73.4 +/- 4.0% necrosis of area at risk, P < or = .018). C1-INH treatment significantly reduced circulating C3a and slightly attenuated C5a plasma concentrations. Myocardial protection was accompanied by reduced plasma concentration of creatine kinase and troponin-T. C1-INH had no effect on global hemodynamic parameters, but local myocardial contractility was markedly improved in the ischemic zone. In the short-axis view, 137 degrees of the anteroseptal region showed significantly improved wall motion at early and 29 degrees at late reperfusion with C1-INH treatment. CONCLUSIONS C1-INH significantly protects ischemic tissue from reperfusion damage, reduces myocardial necrosis, and improves local cardiac function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that reperfusion promotes healing of formerly ischemic heart tissue even when myocardial salvage is no longer possible. Since monocyte-macrophage infiltration is the hallmark of the healing infarct, we have attempted to identify mechanisms that attract monocytes into the heart after reperfusion of ischemic canine myocardium. METHODS AND RESULTS Isolated autologous 99mTc-labeled mononuclear leukocytes injected into the left atrium localized preferentially in previously ischemic myocardium within the first hour after reperfusion. Histological studies revealed CD64+ monocytes in small venules and the perivascular connective tissue within the first hour after reperfusion. Flow cytometric analysis of cells in cardiac lymph showed systematically increasing numbers of neutrophils and monocytes between 1 and 4 hours after reperfusion; monocyte enrichment was eventually greater than neutrophil enrichment. Monocyte chemotactic activity in cardiac lymph collected in the first hour after reperfusion was wholly attributable to C5a. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 contributed significantly to this chemotactic activity after 60 to 180 minutes, and after 180 minutes, monocyte chemotactic activity in lymph was largely dependent on monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 acting in concert with TGF-beta 1. CONCLUSIONS Beginning in the first 60 minutes after reperfusion, C5a, TGF-beta 1, and MCP-1, acting sequentially, promote infiltration of monocytes into formerly ischemic myocardium. These events may promote the healing of myocardial injury facilitated by reperfusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of low- and full-dose aprotinin to methylprednisolone (MPS) in reducing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced interleukin-6 (IL-6) release. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, blinded study. SETTING Cytokine Laboratory, pharmacology department, in a university teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS Forty adult male human patients scheduled for myocardial revascularization were divided into four groups (n = 10): (1) control; (2) MPS, 1 g IV before CPB; (3) aprotinin-low-dose protocol; and (4) aprotinin-full-dose protocol. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Plasma levels of IL-6 were measured at baseline and 1 and 24 hours after CPB by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. Group 1 demonstrated a significant (p < 0.05) increase in IL-6 at 1 and 24 hours post-CPB. Groups 2 and 4 demonstrated significant (p < 0.05) reduction of IL-6 at 1 (group 2 only) and 24 (groups 2 and 4) hours post-CPB when compared with group 1 at the same time periods. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that MPS, 1 g before CPB, and full-dose aprotinin, but not half-dose aprotinin, achieve significant reduction in IL-6 release after CPB. These results further suggest that MPS and full-dose aprotinin may reduce reperfusion injury after CPB.

Abstract
The present study was designed to monitor the process for hepatoma cell injury induced by Kupffer cells. The non-activated Kupffer cells isolated from male Wistar rats reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential in the cocultured AH70 cells, which was indicated by the decreased rhodamine 123 (Rh123) fluorescence. Increased level of nitrite and nitrate in the medium and induction of iNOS in Kupffer cells were observed after coculture with AH70 cells. Incubation with either NG-monomethyl-L-arginine or aminoguanidine attenuated the increased nitric oxide (NO) production of Kupffer cells and the decreased Rh123 fluorescence of AH70 cells. Fluo-3, a calcium-sensitive probe, fluorescence in Kupffer cells increased after coculture with AH70 cells. Addition of TMB-8, a calcium inhibitor, or monoclonal antibody directed against ICAM-1 or CD18 prevented the increases in fluo-3 fluorescence and NO production of Kupffer cells and Kupffer cell-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in AH70 cells, suggesting the involvement of calcium mobilization and CD18/ICAM-1. It is therefore suggested that the Kupffer cell-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction of hepatoma cells largely depends on NO production by iNOS, and that the NO production by Kupffer cells is triggered by CD18/ICAM-1-dependent interaction with hepatoma cells and subsequent calcium mobilization. In other series of experiments, male Wistar rats fed ethanol for 4 weeks were used. The NO production and calcium mobilization of Kupffer cells and reduction of the mitochondrial membrane potential in cocultured hepatoma cells were diminished in the case of Kupffer cells isolated from chronically ethanol-fed rats, while CD18 and ICAM-1 expression was still observed. Thus, the present study further suggests that NO-dependent anti-hepatoma cell activity of Kupffer cells is suppressed in chronically ethanol-fed animals.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) reduces experimental infarct size when administered by prolonged low-dose left atrial infusion during coronary occlusion. Liposomal delivery of PGE1 may enhance biologic activity and limit adverse hemodynamic effects. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that intravenous bolus administration of liposomal PGE1 (TLC C-53, The Liposome Company, Princeton, N.J.) during coronary occlusion would result in myocardial salvage. We compared TLC C-53 (0.5 microgram/kg intravenous bolus at 10 and 100 min of occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery [LAD]), free PGE1 (0.1 microgram/kg/min infused 10 min after LAD occlusion until reperfusion), placebo liposomes, and control (n = 7 for each group) in an open-chest canine model of 2 hours of LAD occlusion and reperfusion. Infarct size as a percentage of risk area (mean +/- SD) in the control group (58.4% +/- 20.0%) was similar to that in animals given placebo liposomes (53.1% +/- 12.6%) but was significantly reduced in the groups given TLC C-53 (33.5% +/- 9.2%; p < 0.01) or free PGE1 (37.2% +/- 4.8%; p < 0.05) groups. Infarct salvage was significant (p < 0.05) for the TLC C-53-and PGE1-treated dogs compared with the control dogs, independent of collateral blood flow by analysis of covariance. Moreover, the ischemic-zone blood flow during reperfusion was significantly higher in the TLC C-53 group compared with the control group or the group receiving free PGE1. Neutrophil infiltration of ischemic myocardium was significantly inhibited by TLC C-53 as determined by myeloperoxidase assay. Unlike free PGE1, TLC C-53 did not cause significant tachycardia or hypotension during therapy. In conclusion, TLC C-53 administered intravenously during coronary occlusion significantly reduced infarct size, limited neutrophil infiltration, and improved myocardial blood flow during reperfusion without adverse hemodynamic consequences.

Abstract
Neutrophil adhesion plays an essential role in the formation of an inflammatory exudate. Moreover, adhesion activates selective neutrophil functions and regulates the cell response to additional stimuli. In this review we summarize the information available on adhesion molecules involved in neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells and extracellular matrix proteins and the experimental approaches which have been developed to block neutrophil adhesion and neutrophil mediated tissue damage. We also address the mechanisms of activation of selective neutrophil functions by adhesion molecules and, in particular the mechanisms of signal transduction by neutrophil integrins. On the basis of recent results obtained in our and other laboratories we propose a model hypothesizing mechanisms of signaling by neutrophil integrins involved in regulation of selective functions.

Abstract
Neutrophil adhesion to the vascular endothelium is enhanced during tissue ischemia and/or inflammation, conditions that are associated with tissue acidosis. This study examined the effects of hypercarbic acidosis (10 or 20% CO2) and of hypocarbic alkalosis (0% CO2) on human neutrophil CD18 and human aortic endothelial cell intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin expression quantified by flow cytometry. Acidosis with 20% CO2 for 4 h decreased ICAM-1 to 60.6 +/- 9.7% of control. In contrast, alkalosis with 0% CO2 for 4 h enhanced ICAM-1 expression to 143.8 +/- 10.1% of control. There was no pH dependence of VCAM-1 or E-selectin expression. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha; 10 ng/ml) increased endothelial ICAM-1, E-selectin, and VCAM-1; under these conditions, acidosis with 20% CO2 blunted both ICAM-1 and E-selectin surface expression compared with 5% CO2-, TNF-alpha-treated cells. Hypercarbic acidosis with 20% CO2 increased neutrophil CD18 expression and enhanced neutrophil adhesion. This latter effect was inhibited by neutrophil pretreatment with an anti-CD18 monoclonal antibody. In contrast, when only endothelial cells were preincubated with the hypercarbic buffer, neutrophil adhesion diminished to 55.6 +/- 7.8% of control. The results suggest that acidosis generated during tissue ischemia/inflammation may induce CD18-mediated neutrophil adhesion despite a decrease in ICAM-1 expression.

Abstract
A burst of endothelial derived oxidants including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide (.O2-) occurs on reperfusion of ischemic tissues that directly causes injury; however, it is not known if this also triggers further injury due to subsequent leukocyte adhesion and adhesion molecule expression. Therefore, studies were performed in an isolated heart model developed to enable study of the role of isolated cellular and humoral factors in the mechanism of postischemic injury. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 20 min of 37 degrees C-global ischemia followed by reperfusion with polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and plasma in the presence or absence of superoxide dismutase (SOD), 200 U/ml, or catalase, 500 U/ml. Measurements of contractile function, coronary flow, high-energy phosphates, free radical generation, and PMN accumulation were performed. Adhesion molecule expression was measured on the surface of effluent PMNs by fluorescence flow cytometry and within the tissue using immunohistochemistry. SOD or catalase treatment resulted in 2- to 3-fold higher recoveries of contractile function, coronary flow, and high energy phosphates. EPR spin trapping measurements demonstrated that SOD totally quenched the free radical generation observed upon reperfusion while catalase prevented the formation of hydroxyl and alkyl radicals derived from superoxide. SOD or catalase treatment decreased PMN accumulation in the reperfused heart and prevented the marked upregulation of CD18 expression seen after reperfusion. These experiments demonstrate that in addition to their direct antioxidative actions, SOD and catalase each decrease PMN adhesion and CD18 expression resulting in marked suppression of PMN-mediated injury in the postischemic heart. Thus, endothelial derived H2O2 and .O2- further amplify postischemic injury by triggering CD18 expression on the surface of PMNs leading to increased PMN adhesion within the heart.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC), the major receptor for tumor-promoting phorbol esters, consists of a family of at least 12 distinct lipid-regulated enzymes. We examined the expression and regulation of PKC isoforms in human saphenous vein endothelial cells (HSVEC). Western blot analysis with PKC isoform-specific antibodies indicated that PKC alpha, PKC epsilon and PKC zeta were expressed in these cells. Translocation and down-regulation of PKC alpha and epsilon but not zeta were detected by short-term and long-term treatment with TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate), respectively. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha 1,600 U/ml) and platelet activating factor (PAF 50 nM) increased the membrane content of PKC alpha and epsilon but not zeta. H2O2 (10 mM) induced the translocation of PKC alpha from the cytosol to the membrane and increased PKC epsilon content in both cytosol and membrane. However, 12-(S)-HETE (12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid) (100 nM), a lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid, did not affect the two isoforms. These results suggest that the molecular action of TNF-alpha, PAF, and H2O2 in HSVEC might occur through PKC alpha and epsilon activation.

Abstract
Reperfusion of the infarcted canine myocardium after 1 hour of ischemia is associated with an acute inflammatory infiltrate at the border of the infarct. In this paper, we demonstrate that early margination and emigration of neutrophils originate in thin-walled (approximately 5 micrometers) venous cisterns that average 200 micrometers in length and vary from 10 to 70 micrometers in width and show strong constitutive expression of both ICAM-1 and P-selectin; this class of vessels (venous cisterns) appears to be a unique feature in heart. A monoclonal antibody (SG8H6) with specificity for canine neutrophils was developed that allowed much more sensitive immunohistochemical detection of neutrophils in tissue and allowed us to follow tissue infiltration with time. Samples from 1 hour of reperfusion revealed dense margination and substantial emigration of neutrophils associated with the venous cisterns and collecting venules. By 2 hours, there was intense local emigration to the extravascular space between cardiac myocytes. By 3 hours, the infiltrate extended deeper into the infarct, and there was a continuous border zone of neutrophil infiltration that overlapped a region where intact cardiac myocytes strongly expressed ICAM-1 mRNA and extended into the necrotic tissue. At later times, neutrophil migration into infarcted tissue continued to progress. Neutrophil transmigration into reperfused myocardium is more extensive than previously described, and its extravascular distribution during early reperfusion is primarily in the viable border zone of the myocardium where myocyte ICAM-1 mRNA is found. These data are compatible with the hypothesis that extravascular neutrophils may participate in reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) reportedly play a major role in ischemia/reperfusion states of coronary artery disease. We sought to determine whether ANP and LTB4 cooperate in inducing PMN activation with consequent modulation of membrane molecules required for adherence to endothelium and myocardial cells, namely CD11b and L-selectin and the release of toxic oxygen radicals. ANP (from 10(-16) to 10(-8) M), LTB4 (from 10(-10) to 10(-6) M) and combinations of the two were incubated with normal PMN at 37 degrees C for 15 minutes. Membrane molecules modulation was measured by flow cytometry using specific monoclonal antibodies. Hydrogen peroxide production, an indicator of the capacity of PMN to release toxic oxygen species was quantified by flow cytometry using the peroxide-sensitive fluorescent probe dichlorofluorescein diacetate. ANP, uneffective when used alone, dose-dependently potentiated the PMN response to LTB4 (10(-9) M) as evidenced by an up-regulation of CD11b expression and peroxide production, and a down-regulation of L-selectin expression. These effects were prevented dose-dependently by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor staurosporine (from 10 to 160 microM). Two carnitine congeners, palmytoylcarnitine (tested from 125 pg to 2 micrograms/ml) that also possesses an established ability to antagonise PKC and L-carnitine (tested from 12 to 200 ng/ml) were also effective. These data indicate that ANP potentiates LTB4 in inducing PMN mobilization and activation with a possible consequent detrimental effect on cardiac tissue and evisages the usefulness of PMN metabolism modulators.

Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to determine whether monosodium urate (MSU) crystals induced neutrophil adhesion to cellular substrata and, if so, then to elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), as well as various other cellular substrata, were treated with various sized MSU crystals, washed, and then coincubated in the presence of neutrophils for 60 min. HUVEC exposed to MSU crystals but not to silica crystals or uric acid promoted neutrophil adhesion in a dose- and size-dependent manner, an event also observed with monolayers of rabbit synovial cells and rat intestinal epithelial cells. The increased neutrophil adhesion could not be attenuated by anti-CD18, anti-intracellular adhesion molecule-1, or various anti-selectin antibodies, despite the fact that scanning electron microscopy revealed that neutrophils were adhering primarily to the endothelial cells rather than to exposed crystals. CD18-deficient neutrophils adhered to MSU crystal-treated HUVEC as effectively as their CD18-positive counterparts. The neutrophil adhesion was temperature dependent but did not require protein synthesis. Additionally, HUVEC phagocytosis of crystals was necessary for subsequent neutrophil-endothelial cell interactions to transpire. Pretreatment of endothelial cells and neutrophils with colchicine significantly reduced the adhesive interaction. Our data demonstrate that exposure of endothelial and other cells to MSU crystals promotes neutrophil adhesion that occurs by a firm CD18-independent and selectin-independent adhesive mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunologic mechanisms that mediate myocardial cell injury during rejection are not fully understood. We therefore investigated whether cells that infiltrate rejecting cardiac allografts are capable of directly injuring myocytes and whether this injury resembles that produced by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that are generated in a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). METHODS AND RESULTS Heart-infiltrating cells (HICs) were isolated from murine heterotopic BALB/c cardiac allografts undergoing rejection 6 to 8 days after transplantation into C57BL/6 mice. An in vitro model system of cultured adult murine ventricular myocytes was developed to facilitate investigation of cell-mediated myocyte injury. Isolated adult myocytes were incubated with either HICs or MLR effector cells, and myocyte death was quantified by counting the number of rod-shaped myocytes excluding trypan blue. The frequency of donor-reactive CTLs was similar in the HIC and MLR populations, as assessed by limiting dilution analysis. However, HICs were less efficient at killing donor-strain myocytes than were MLR cells. CTL-mediated cell lysis occurred by 6 hours, whereas myocyte injury produced by HICs was more gradual, with considerable cytotoxicity occurring between 12 and 24 hours. Furthermore, whereas MLR cells lysed only donor-strain myocytes, HIC lysed donor, third-party, and syngeneic myocytes. Treatment of MLR cells and HICs with anti-CD8 antibody plus complement produced a much greater inhibition of MLR cytotoxicity than of HIC cytotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that only a small component of myocyte injury mediated by allograft-infiltrating cells can be ascribed to CTLs within the infiltrating cell population. These findings suggest that cell types associated with a delayed-type hypersensitivity response, as well as CTLs, cause myocyte injury during cardiac rejection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophil-induced injury of myocardial cells requires the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on the myocyte surface and is mediated by ICAM-1-CD11b/CD18 adhesion. We have previously shown that interleukin-6 (IL-6) cytokine activity, present in cardiac lymph, induces ICAM-1 on isolated cardiac myocytes. Furthermore, in previous in vivo studies, we have also shown ICAM-1 mRNA induction in the myocardium within the first hour of reperfusion in the previously ischemic viable zone. We hypothesized that induction of IL-6 synthesis in the myocardium was an integral part of the reaction to injury resulting from ischemia and reperfusion and was associated with induction of ICAM-1 on myocardial cells. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, cloned canine IL-6 cDNA was used as a molecular probe to study the regulation of IL-6 in an awake canine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. IL-6 mRNA was induced in ischemic and reperfused segments of myocardium preferentially in segments previously exposed to severe ischemia. Peak levels of IL-6 mRNA were reached within 3 hours of reperfusion. At the same time, IL-6 mRNA and ICAM-1 mRNA were found in the same myocardial segments. In contrast to hearts that were ischemic for 1 hour and reperfused for 3 hours, nonreperfused hearts after 4 hours of persistent ischemia demonstrated minimal induction of ICAM-1 or IL-6 despite similar degrees of injury and blood flow reductions during ischemia. After 24 hours of persistent ischemia, levels of IL-6 mRNA were comparable to those observed in hearts that were ischemic for 1 hour and subsequently reperfused for 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate induction of IL-6 mRNA in the myocardium and that this synthesis is accelerated by reperfusion. Evidence is also provided to show that peak IL-6 mRNA precedes that of ICAM-1 mRNA. These findings are compatible with our hypothesis that IL-6 is important in the induction of ICAM-1 in the area of ischemia. In addition, these studies suggest that the necessary factors to promote adhesive interactions between transmigrated neutrophils and cardiac myocytes are present in reperfused myocardium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) inhibits leukocyte and platelet function and reduces infarct size during left atrial infusion. Intravenous liposomal PGE1 (TLC C-53) accelerates thrombolysis and prevents reocclusion in canine coronary thrombosis. We tested the hypothesis that intravenous TLC C-53 would attenuate reperfusion injury in a canine infarction-reperfusion model. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-one open-chest dogs were randomized to receive a 10-minute intravenous infusion of either liposome diluent (placebo), free PGE1 (2 micrograms/kg), or TLC C-53 (2 micrograms/kg PGE1) after 2 hours of left anterior descending (LAD) occlusion just before reperfusion. Hemodynamic assessment, regional myocardial blood flow determination with radioactive microspheres, myocardial leukocyte infiltration by myeloperoxidase assay, and estimation of infarct size using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining were performed. Regional fractional shortening was measured with sonomicrometer crystals implanted in the midmyocardium. Infarct size as a percentage of the risk region was significantly reduced (P < .05) with TLC C-53 (37.9 +/- 17.4%) compared with PGE1 (56.7 +/- 13.9%) or placebo (58.0 +/- 9.9%) infusion. Infarct salvage with TLC C-53 was independent of collateral blood flow by ANCOVA. There was a dramatic reduction in myeloperoxidase activity in the infarct, risk, and border regions of dogs treated with TLC C-53 compared with placebo. Enzyme activity was also significantly reduced (P < .05) in the infarct zone with TLC C-53 (0.11 +/- 0.1 U/100 mg) treatment compared with PGE1 (0.38 +/- 0.3 U/100 mg). No significant differences in regional myocardial blood flow or myocardial function among treatment groups were identified, although there was a trend toward improved function in the TLC C-53 dogs. CONCLUSIONS Bolus intravenous administration of TLC C-53 immediately before reperfusion results in reduced leukocyte infiltration and substantial infarct salvage. TLC C-53 mah be useful in limiting reperfusion injury during treatment of acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54) is a cell adhesion molecule that interacts with the leukocyte beta 2 integrins, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1, and macrophage antigen-1. ICAM-1 is postulated to play a key role in several cell-cell interactions that are important in allograft rejection, including antigen presentation, transendothelial migration of leukocytes, and leukocyte-medicated myocyte injury. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice homozygous for a gene-targeted mutation of ICAM-1 were used in two different cardiac transplant models to further define the role of ICAM-1 in the process of allograft rejection. In the first model, hearts from newborn mice were implanted in the ear pinnae of H-2-incompatible recipients. In the second model, intra-abdominal transplantation by direct vascular anastomosis was performed. Time to rejection was defined by the loss of pulsatile activity assessed by visual inspection in the ear model or by cessation of palpable cardiac impulse in the abdominal model. Allograft survival did not differ significantly between control groups that express normal levels of ICAM-1 and those groups using ICAM-1-deficient mutants as either donors or recipients. Histological examination of rejection of both normal and mutant (ICAM-1-deficient) cardiac allografts revealed similar patterns of infiltration of mononuclear and granulocytic leukocytes and myocyte necrosis. Immunostaining with anti-ICAM-1 antibodies showed ICAM-1-positive infiltrating cells in both mutant (ICAM-1-deficient) and normal allografts, with the graft endothelium negative for ICAM-1 staining in the mutant allografts. CONCLUSIONS The absence of surface expression of ICAM-1 in the donor allograft or recipient is insufficient to produce a significant impact on cardiac allograft survival. This study highlights the need to understand more precisely the mechanism of action whereby monoclonal antibodies to ICAM-1 prolong cardiac allograft survival before new therapeutic strategies based on gene transfer technology or small molecule inhibitors are developed. Mutant mice with targeted mutations in cell adhesion molecules provide powerful tools to study the complex role that cell adhesion molecules play in the cellular interactions between donor graft tissue and the recipient that culminate in graft rejection.

Abstract
Our studies in vitro demonstrate that neutrophil mediated injury of isolated cardiac myocytes requires the presence of ICAM-1 on the surface of the myocyte and CD11b/CD18 activation on the neutrophil. In post-ischemic cardiac lymph, there is rapid appearance of C5a activity during the first hours of reperfusion. Interleukin-6 activity is present throughout the first 72 h of reperfusion and is sufficient to induce ICAM-1 on the surface of the cardiac myocyte. In situ hybridization studies suggest that ICAM-1 mRNA is found in viable myocardial cells on the edge of the myocardial infarction within 1 h of reperfusion. ICAM-1 protein expression on cardiac myocytes is seen after 6 h of reperfusion, and increases thereafter. Non-ischemic tissue demonstrates no early induction of ICAM-1 mRNA or ICAM-1 protein on myocardial cells. In our most recent experiments, we have determined that reperfusion is an absolute requirement for the early induction of myocardial ICAM-1 mRNA in previously ischemic myocardial cells. To further assess this, we have cloned and sequenced a canine interleukin-6 (IL-6) cDNA. The data suggest that early induction of IL-6 mRNA is also reperfusion dependent as it could be demonstrated in the same ischemic and reperfused segments in which ICAM-1 mRNA was found. Peak expression of IL-6 mRNA occurred much earlier than that for ICAM-1 mRNA. Similar experiments were then performed with a molecular probe for interleukin-8 (IL-8). This chemokine is a potent neutrophil stimulant and has a higher degree of specificity for neutrophils than classic chemoattractants such as C5a.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Several studies have reported that Listeria monocytogenes multiples within hepatocytes and that inflammatory neutrophils inhibit this intracellular growth in vivo. In the present study, we used a murine embryonic hepatocyte cell line (ATCC TIB73) as an in vitro model to investigate neutrophil-hepatocyte interactions. Murine peritoneal exudate neutrophils adhered more readily to L. monocytogenes-infected hepatocyte monolayers than to uninfected monolayers or monolayers infected with actA- and hly- mutants of L. monocytogenes. L. monocytogenes-infected TIB73 cells increased their surface expression of ICAM-1 as compared with uninfected TIB73 cells. Neutrophil adherence and oxidative stress to TIB73 cells were reduced by pre-incubating the hepatocyte monolayers with anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody and diminished further by pre-incubating the peritoneal exudate neutrophils with an anti-CR3 monoclonal antibody.

Abstract
In the intact organism, ischemic myocardial injury initiates an acute inflammatory response in which polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are major participants. Evidence indicates that the interplaying inflammatory reactions are augmented by reperfusion and that accumulating PMNs can contribute to myocardial damage, eg, by release of oxygen-derived free radicals, proteases, and leukotrienes. In experimental models, interventions aimed at PMN inhibition can exert cardioprotective effects, and some of these strategies raise hope for future clinical applications. A greater understanding of the mechanisms involved in PMN-mediated myocardial damage is necessary for designing a rational approach to reduce the putative detrimental effects of PMNs without antagonizing their favorable consequences in tissue healing.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is greatly up-regulated on endothelial cells at sites of inflammation and is involved in leukocyte attachment and extravasation. Previously, we had shown that the ICAM-1 gene expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was transcriptionally regulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) (Wertheimer, S. J., Myers, C. L., Wallace, R. W., and Parks, T. P. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 12030-12035). In the present investigation, TNF-alpha-induced transcription was found to be initiated exclusively at two sites, 40 and 41 base pairs upstream of the translation start site. Deletion analysis of the 5' regulatory region of the ICAM-1 gene revealed a 92-base pair sequence which was both necessary and sufficient to confer TNF-alpha responsiveness to a linked luciferase reporter gene in transient transfection assays. This TNF-alpha-responsive region contained a variant NF-kappa B site at -187 to -178, which when mutated, completely abolished ICAM-1 promoter activation by TNF-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, and lipopolysaccharide. Two inducible nuclear protein complexes bound to the ICAM-1 kappa B and were identified as the NF-kappa B p65 homodimer and p65/p50 heterodimer. Overexpression of p65, but not p50, transactivated the ICAM-1 promoter in a kappa B site-dependent manner in HUVECs. In addition, p65-mediated transactivation was suppressed by co-expression of p50. Our results suggest that cytokine activation of the ICAM-1 promoter in HUVECs may critically depend on p65 homodimers binding to a variant kappa B site.

Abstract
Neutrophil adhesion and direct cytotoxicity for cardiac myocytes require chemotactic stimulation and are dependent upon CD18-ICAM-1 binding. To characterize the potential role of IL-8 in this interaction, canine IL-8 cDNA was cloned and the mature recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 cells. Recombinant canine IL-8 markedly increased adhesion of neutrophils to isolated canine cardiac myocytes. This adhesion resulted in direct cytotoxicity for cardiac myocytes. Both processes were specifically blocked by antibodies directed against CD18 and IL-8. In vivo, after 1 h of coronary occlusion, IL-8 mRNA was markedly and consistently induced in reperfused segments of myocardium. IL-8 mRNA was not induced in control (normally perfused) myocardial segments. Minimal amounts of IL-8 mRNA were detected after 3 or 4 h of ischemia without reperfusion. Highest levels of induction were evident in the most ischemic myocardial segments. IL-8 mRNA peaked in the first 3 h of reperfusion and persisted at high levels beyond 24 h. IL-8 staining was present in the inflammatory infiltrate near the border between necrotic and viable myocardium, as well as in small veins in the same area. These findings provide the first direct evidence for regulation of IL-8 in ischemic and reperfused canine myocardium and support the hypothesis that IL-8 participates in neutrophil-mediated myocardial injury.

Abstract
Human neutrophils were isolated both from peripheral blood (PB) and from aseptic inflammatory exudates obtained by the Senn's skin-window (SW) technique. The respiratory burst (O2- release) and the adherence to serum-coated wells of culture microplates was investigated using a simultaneous assay. Unstimulated PB resting neutrophils did not produce a significant amount of O2- and were incapable of adhering to serum-coated plastic surfaces, while unstimulated SW neutrophils showed augmented adhesion to serum-coated culture wells. SW neutrophils were primed to enhanced FMLP-dependent O2- release in response to n-formyl-methionyl-leucylphenylalanine (FMLP). Adhesion of SW neutrophils was significantly decreased by addition of low doses (10(-10)-10(-8) M) of FMLP (from 17.1% to 8.4%, P < 0.01, N = 12), while fully activating doses (> 5 x 10(-8) M) of FMLP induced a marked increase of the cell adhesion, more pronounced in SW (39.2%) than in PB cells (27.2%). Low (5 x 10(-9) M) and high (5 x 10(-7) M) FMLP doses induced morphological changes (polarization) and actin polymerization in the neutrophils from both sources. Biphasic dose-response curves of SW neutrophil adherence were observed using FMLP, but not using concanavalin A or phorbol myristate acetate as stimulatory agents. Therefore, the adherence of SW cells appears to be regulated in a complex fashion, nonlinearly dependent on the chemotactic peptide doses and specifically regulated according to the receptors involved.
