Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are effective in treating autoimmune and inflammatory disorders but come with significant side effects, many of which are mediated by non-immunological cells. Therefore, there is rapidly growing interest in using antibody drug conjugate (ADC) technology to deliver GCs specifically to immune cells, thereby minimizing off-target side effects. Herein, we report the study of anti-CD11a, anti-CD38, and anti-TNFα ADCs to deliver dexamethasone to monocytes. We found that anti-CD11a and anti-CD38 were rapidly internalized by monocytes, while uptake of anti-TNFα depended on pre-activation with LPS. Using these antibodies were attached to a novel linker system, ValCitGlyPro-Dex (VCGP-Dex), that efficiently released dexamethasone upon lysosomal catabolism. This linker relies on lysosomal cathepsins to cleave after the ValCit sequence, thereby releasing a GlyPro-Dex species that undergoes rapid self-immolation to form dexamethasone. The resulting monocyte-targeting ADCs bearing this linker payload effectively suppressed LPS-induced NFκB activation and cytokine release in both a monocytic cell line (THP1) and in human PBMCs. Anti-TNFα_VCGP-Dex and anti-CD38_VCGP-Dex were particularly effective, suppressing ∼60-80% of LPS-induced IL-6 release from PBMCs at 3-10 μg mL-1 concentrations. In contrast, the corresponding isotype control ADC (anti-RSV) and the corresponding naked antibodies (anti-CD38 and anti-TNFα) resulted in only modest suppression (0-30%) of LPS-induced IL-6. Taken together, these results provide further evidence of the ability of glucocorticoid-ADCs to selectively suppress immune responses, and highlight the potential of two targets (CD38 and TNFα) for the development of novel immune-suppressing ADCs.

Abstract
Accumulation of eosinophils in tissue is a hallmark of allergic inflammation. Here we observed that a selective agonist of the PGE2 receptor EP4, ONO AE1-329, potently attenuated the chemotaxis of human peripheral blood eosinophils, upregulation of the adhesion molecule CD11b and the production of reactive oxygen species. These effects were accompanied by the inhibition of cytoskeletal rearrangement and Ca2+ mobilization. The involvement of the EP4 receptor was substantiated by a selective EP4 antagonist, which reversed the inhibitory effects of PGE2 and the EP4 agonist. Selective kinase inhibitors revealed that the inhibitory effect of EP4 stimulation on eosinophil migration depended upon activation of PI 3-kinase and PKC, but not cAMP. Finally, we found that EP4 receptors are expressed by human eosinophils, and are also present on infiltrating leukocytes in inflamed human nasal mucosa. These data indicate that EP4 agonists might be a novel therapeutic option in eosinophilic diseases.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disorder of arteries. Atherosclerotic plaque, in its early to intermediate stages, is composed largely of lipid-engorged foam cells. These foam cells are derived from the trafficking of monocytes (Mo) into the arterial intima, attracted to the site by chemoattractants. Given that foam cells are derived from the trafficking of Mo, the use of Netrin-1, an Mo chemorepellent, may be useful in limiting Mo accumulation and subsequent plaque formation. To investigate the potential of Netrin-1 for limiting atherosclerosis, we systemically delivered its human (h) cDNA by adeno-associated virus type 8 (AAV8, single-stranded structure) delivery into low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout (LDLR-/-) mice and placed the animals on a high cholesterol diet (HCD). Compared with control neomycin resistance (Neo) gene delivery/HCD, hNetrin-1 delivery resulted in a significant reduction in plaque formation, as determined by larger aortic lumen size, thinner intima-media thickness and lower blood velocity than the Neo/HCD control (all statistically significant). Indices of monocyte/macrophage (Mo/MΦ) accumulation, CD68, integrin, alpha M (ITGAM) and egf-like module containing, mucin-like, hormone receptor-like 1 (EMR-1), were reduced in hNetrin-1/HCD-treated animal's aortas and spleens compared with Neo/HCD-treated animals. Unexpectedly, CD25 and foxp3 (regulatory T cells (Tregs)) in the aorta were strongly upregulated. This is the first time the Mo/MΦ chemorepellent approach, and specific Netrin-1 gene delivery, has been performed for the reduction of Mo/MΦ burden and atherosclerosis. In addition, Netrin-1 has never before been linked to altered Treg levels. These data strongly suggest that hNetrin-1 gene delivery can reduce Mo/MΦ accumulation, inflammation and subsequent plaque formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced eosinophil migration from the blood into the tissue is a hallmark of allergic diseases. Prostaglandin (PG) I(2) is the major prostanoid released by endothelial cells. Mice deficient in PGI(2) receptors (IPs) show exaggerated eosinophilic inflammation in response to allergen. OBJECTIVE We set out to determine the role of PGI(2) in eosinophil trafficking. METHODS Human lung microvascular endothelial cells and purified human eosinophils were used to study adhesion and transendothelial migration. Morphologic studies were performed with fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS PGI(2) markedly attenuated the migration of eosinophils through cell-free filters but had no effect on neutrophil migration. The inhibitory effect of PGI(2) on eosinophils was prevented by the IP antagonist Cay10441 and the adenylyl cyclase inhibitor SQ22536. Similarly, PGI(2) prevented the adhesion of eosinophils to fibronectin and the rapid upregulation and activation of the adhesion molecule CD11b. IP expression on eosinophils was confirmed by means of flow cytometry and Western blotting. Furthermore, when endothelial cells were treated with the COX inhibitor diclofenac to abolish PGI(2) production, adhesion of eosinophils to endothelial monolayers and subsequent transendothelial migration were markedly enhanced. Similarly, the IP antagonist enhanced eosinophil adhesion to endothelial cells. Inhibition of PGI(2) biosynthesis decreased the electrical resistance of endothelial monolayers and compromised the texture of adherent junctions, as visualized by means of VE-cadherin and F-actin staining. CONCLUSION We propose that endothelium-derived PGI(2) might be fundamental for the maintenance of the endothelial barrier function against infiltrating cells. These results suggest that selective IP agonists might have beneficial effects in allergic inflammation.

Abstract
Complement receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily (CRIg), also referred to as Z39Ig and V-set and Ig domain-containing 4 (VSIG4), has recently been implicated in the clearance of systemic pathogens and autologous cells. CRIg is exclusively expressed on tissue resident macrophages and binds to multimers of C3b and iC3b that are covalently attached to particle surfaces. Next to functioning as an important clearance receptor, CRIg's extracellular domain inhibits complement activation through the alternative, but not the classical, pathway, providing a novel tool to selectively block this pathway in vivo. Here, we review a role for CRIg in immune clearance, T-cell responses and complement regulation, and discuss the implications for disease manifestation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the mechanisms that regulate the selective recruitment of basophils to sites of allergic inflammation. OBJECTIVE Here we examine the role of stem cell factor (SCF) in the regulation of basophil function. METHODS Human basophils were isolated from peripheral blood, and their migration was investigated in chemotaxis assays. Apoptosis was detected by means of annexin V and propidium iodide staining. The expression of cell-surface molecules was measured by means of flow cytometry. RESULTS SCF amplified the chemotactic responsiveness of human peripheral blood basophils to the chemoattractants eotaxin, monocyte chemotactic protein 2 and macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha, and C5a, without being chemotactic or chemokinetic by itself. SCF synergized with chemoattractants in causing basophil upregulation of the integrin CD11b, and this effect was inhibited by a c-kit antibody, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate (STI-571), and a phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase inhibitor but not by inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase or mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase. Basophils bound fluorescence-labeled SCF and expressed its receptor, c-kit, which was markedly upregulated in culture for 24 to 48 hours in the presence of IL-3. Moreover, SCF prolonged basophil survival in concert with IL-3 by delaying apoptosis. These effects of SCF were selective for basophils because chemotaxis and CD11b upregulation of eosinophils or neutrophils were unchanged. CONCLUSION SCF might be an important selective modulator of basophil function through a phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-dependent pathway.

Abstract
The role of an interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) on the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and airway inflammation following acute O(3) exposure in mice was investigated. Exposure of C57/BL6 mice to O(3) at a concentration of 2.0 ppm or filtered air for 3 h resulted in increases in airway responsiveness to inhaled methacholine (MCh) 8 and 16 h after the exposure, and an increase in neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. IL-1beta expression, assessed by gene microarray, was increased 2-fold 4 h after O(3) exposure, and returned to baseline levels by 24 h. Levels of IL-1beta in lung homogenates were also increased 8 h after O(3) exposure. Administration of (human) IL-1Ra before and after O(3) exposure prevented development of AHR and decreased BAL fluid neutrophilia. Increases in chemokine levels in lung homogenates, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, MIP-2, and keratinocyte chemoattractant following O(3) exposure were prevented by IL-1Ra. Inhalation of dexamethasone, an inhibitor of IL-1 production, blocked the development of AHR, BAL fluid neutrophilia, and decreased levels of IL-1 following O(3) exposure. In summary, acute exposure to O(3) induces AHR, neutrophilic inflammation, epithelial damage, and IL-1. An IL-1Ra effectively prevents the development of altered airway function, inflammation, and structural damage.

Abstract
Ozone (O3) can induce airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and neutrophilic inflammation. We evaluated the role of complement in development of AHR and inflammation after acute O3 exposure in mice. Mice were exposed to O3 at 2 ppm for 3 hours, and airway responsiveness to methacholine was measured 8 hours after O3 exposure. Complement was depleted or inhibited by intraperitoneal injection of cobra venom factor (CVF) or complement receptor-related gene y (Crry)-Ig, a potent C3 convertase inhibitor; neutrophils were depleted using an antineutrophil monoclonal antibody. CVF attenuated the development of AHR by O3. Administration of Crry-Ig also prevented the development of AHR. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid neutrophilia after O3 exposure was significantly decreased by administration of either CVF or Crry-Ig. Increased BAL fluid total protein after O3 exposure was lowered by depletion or inhibition of complement. In contrast to the effects of complement inhibition or depletion, depletion of BAL neutrophil counts by more than 90% with the monoclonal antibody did not affect the development of AHR after O3 exposure. These data indicated that activation of the complement system follows acute O3 exposure and is important to the development of AHR and airway neutrophilia. However, this neutrophil response does not appear necessary for the development of AHR.

Abstract
Factor H, a regulatory protein of the alternative pathway of complement (APC), is present in amyloid-beta (Abeta) plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Abeta plaques also contain significant amounts of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), such as agrin, as well as numerous activated microglia expressing increased levels complement receptor 3 (CR3). Here, we show the colocalization of each of these molecules in the AD brain and the functional capacity for these molecules to bind to one another in vitro. We propose that CR3 receptors expressed by microglia are used for ligand binding to factor H bound to HSPGs and Abeta in plaques in the AD brain.

Abstract
Reperfusion injury refers to cellular death or dysfunction caused by restoration of blood flow to previously alchemic tissue. This should be differentiated from the normal reparative processes that follow an ischemic insult. Four types of reperfusion injury have been described in the literature: (1) lethal reperfusion injury, (2) nonlethal reperfusion injury, (myocardial stunning), (3) reperfusion arrhythmias, and (4) vascular injury (including the "no-reflow" phenomenon). There is continued debate whether reperfusion itself is capable of killing viable myocytes, which otherwise would have survived the ischemic insult. However, there is firm evidence for the existence of myocardial stunning following various ischemic syndromes, including reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, vasospastic angina, effort-induced ischemia, coronary artery bypass surgery, and cardiac transplantation. Reperfusion arrhythmia is more common after short ischemic episodes than after long ischemic periods. Thus, while reperfusion arrhythmias in the setting of acute myocardial infarction are relatively rare, reperfusion arrhythmias may be an important cause of sudden death. The "no-reflow" phenomenon has been described following reperfusion in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Three major components have been proposed as mediators of reperfusion injury: (1) oxygen free radicals, (2) the complement system, and (3) neutrophils. Numerous experimental studies have shown short-term benefit by blocking various stages of the postischemic inflammatory response. Oxygen free radicals scavengers, complement inhibition, leukocyte depletion, and the use of antibodies against various adhesion molecules have shown a reduction of infarct size in many ischemic/reperfusion experimental models. However, many of these agents failed to show a benefit in the clinical setting. Moreover, the long-term benefit of such intervention is still unknown.

Abstract
Integrins have been characterized extensively as adhesion receptors capable of transducing signals inside the cell. In myelomonocytic cells, integrin-mediated adhesive interactions regulate different selective cell responses, such as transmigration into the inflammatory site, cytokine secretion, production or reactive oxygen intermediates, degranulation and phagocytosis. In the last few years, great progress has been made in elucidating mechanisms of signal transduction by integrins in neutrophils and macrophages. This review summarises the current information on the role of integrins in regulating myelomonocytic cell functions and highlights the signalling pathways activated by integrin engagement in these cells. Also, exploiting the current knowledge of mechanisms of integrin signal transduction in other cell types, we propose a model to explain how integrins transduce signals inside neutrophils and macrophages, and how signaling pathways leading to regulation of selective cell functions may be coordinated.

Abstract
A variety of inflammatory diseases are accompanied by activation of the complement system. We examined the role of the membrane attack complex (MAC) in mediating neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells. To assemble the MAC in endothelial cell monolayers, a C5b-like molecule was created through the treatment of purified C5 with the oxidizing agent chloramine-T, followed by addition of the remaining components (C6-C9) that constitute the MAC. Use of this method abrogated potentially confounding effects mediated by other complement components (e.g., C5a). MAC assembly resulted in a rapid (30 min), concentration-dependent increase in neutrophil adherence. A monoclonal antibody directed against P-selectin inhibited MAC-mediated neutrophil adhesion. A whole cell EIA confirmed P-selectin expression after formation of the MAC. Incubation of neutrophils with the platelet-activating factor receptor antagonist, CF 3988, also significantly decreased adhesion, indicating that PAF plays a role in MAC-mediated adhesion. These results suggest that the MAC can promote neutrophil adhesion through P-selectin and PAF-mediated mechanisms.

Abstract
Immune mechanisms, including production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF), play an important role in early atherogenesis. The study of the mechanisms responsible for the increased cytokine production capacity of hypercholesterolemic hosts is therefore crucial for finding new strategies aimed to stop the development of atherosclerosis. We assessed the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokine production of macrophages from low-density lipoproteins (LDL)-receptor knock-out (LDLR-/-) mice, which have a seven- to ninefold higher plasma LDL concentration. Macrophages of LDLR-/- mice produced approximately twofold more IL-1alpha and IL-1beta in response to LPS when compared with macrophages of control mice (LDLR+/+). TNF-alpha synthesis was only slightly increased. Removal of CD14 by phospholipase C treatment of cells decreased cytokine production by 50% (IL-1) to 80% (TNF), but the differences between LDLR-/- and LDLR+/+ remained the same. In contrast, treatment of cells with anti-CD11c monoclonal antibody inhibited the IL-1alpha and IL-1beta production in LDLR-/- mice towards normal values, while no effect could be seen on TNF. In conclusion, LDLR-/- macrophages stimulated with LPS synthesize more IL-1alpha and IL-1beta than controls and this phenomenon is mediated by the CD11c/CD18 receptor.

Abstract
Cytokine production induced via CD14-dependent and CD14-independent pathways was investigated in mouse peritoneal macrophages incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or lipid A. Different LPS receptors appear to be responsible for production of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and IL-1 beta. TNF-alpha production is essentially CD14 dependent, both in the presence or absence of plasma. In the presence of plasma, endotoxin-induced IL-1 production is mediated by CD14-dependent mechanisms, while in its absence both CD14-dependent and CD14-independent pathways are involved. Lipid A stimulates cytokine synthesis through both CD14-dependent and CD14-independent mechanisms, but its action is weaker than that of LPS, indicating that the polysaccharide moiety may be necessary for proper stimulation of mouse macrophages by endotoxin.

Abstract
Macrophages (m phi) from prediseased autoimmune-prone MRL/+ and MRL/ lpr mice have a marked defect in endotoxin (LPS)-induced expression of several cytokines including interleukin 1 (IL-1). The progressive nature of this defect over time suggests that it may develop in response to specific extracellular stimuli. In this report, we show that adhesion is an essential factor for the development of aberrant IL-1 expression by m phi from autoimmune-prone MRL mice. Thus, when MRL/+ m phi were allowed to adhere before being stimulated with LPS, they demonstrated a striking defect in expression of both IL-1 message and protein in comparison with multiple normal strains. In marked contrast, when MRL/+ m phi were maintained in a non-adherent state by culture on agarose, the IL-1 defect was not evident and IL-1 expression was restored to nearly normal levels. Since an identical defect in IL-1 expression was found when MRL/+ m phi were cultured on a variety of extracellular matrix proteins (including laminin, fibronectin, type I collagen, and type IV collagen), it appears that IL-1 underexpression is dependent on the adhesive state per se rather than on engagement of any one specific adhesion receptor. Moreover, the cytoskeletal inhibitor cytochalasin D had no effect on the magnitude of the defect, indicating that the adhesion-dependent signaling events necessary to elicit IL-1 underexpression are independent of cytoskeletal rearrangement. Taken together, these results indicate that m phi from autoimmune prone MRL/+ mice have an adhesion-dependent signaling abnormality that leads to profound underexpression of the cytokine IL-1.

Abstract
Abstract
We evaluated the effect of C1 inhibitor (C1-inh), an inhibitor of the classical pathway of complement and the contact system, on the physiologic and inflammatory response in baboons suffering from lethal Escherichia coli sepsis. Five animals pretreated with 500 U/kg C1-inh (treatment group; n = 5), followed by a 9-h continuous infusion of 200 U/kg C1-inh subsequent to bacterial challenge, were compared with five controls receiving E. coli alone. Of the treatment group, one animal survived and another lived beyond 48 h, whereas all control animals died within 27 h. In four of five treated animals, less severe pathology was observed in various target organs. C1-inh administration did not prevent the hemodynamic or hematologic changes observed upon E. coli infusion. The activation of fibrinolysis and the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation were essentially unaffected by C1-inh. However, C1-inh supplementation significantly reduced decreases in plasma levels of factor XII and prekallikrein and abrogated the systemic appearance of C4b/c, indicating substantial inhibition of activation of the contact system and the classical complement pathway, respectively. Furthermore, treated animals displayed a reduced elaboration of various cytokines including TNF, IL-10, IL-6, and IL-8. Thus, the administration of C1-inh may have a beneficial but modest effect on the clinical course and outcome of severe sepsis in nonhuman primates. We suggest that activated complement and/or contact system proteases may, at least in part, contribute to the attendant manifestations of septic shock through an augmentation of the cytokine response.

Abstract
Further evidence suggests that cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) expressed on the surface of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected cells are regulated during lentiviral infection. To address this hypothesis we have investigated the kinetic pattern of CAM expression at the surface of HIV-1Ba.L-infected human monocytes during the first 72 hr of infection. A significantly lower expression of CD18 and CD54 as well as a decrease in CD44 expression level were observed at the surface of infected monocytes when compared with mock-infected cultures. No modification of CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD58, and CD62L expression was detected. Except for CD18, the expression of which at the cell surface is decreased, no modification of CD44 and CD54 expression was observed after heat-inactivated HIV-1 treatment of monocytes. Investigation of soluble forms of CAMs (sCAMs) and cytokine production in the culture supernatants of infected monocytes showed a peak of sCD44, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 release between 2 and 24 hr after infection. Treatment of monocytes with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against CAMs showed that engagement of some CAMs may trigger TNF-alpha and IL-1beta production. In addition, pretreatment of infected monocytes with a TNF-alpha synthesis inhibitor, RP 55778, or with MAbs directed against IL-1beta, confirmed the role of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta in the regulation of CD18, CD44, and CD54 expression.

Abstract
Binding of T lymphocytes within the different compartments of the secondary lymphoid organs is crucial for the function of the cellular and the humoral immune response. It is still not known which adhesion molecules guide T cells to the distinct areas of the lymphoid microenvironment. In the current study an in situ adhesion assay was used to define the receptors for binding of T cells to human tonsils. The T cell lines Jurkat and MOLT-4 and normal, activated T cells were found to bind exclusively to germinal centers. Jurkat cells used the receptor pair integrin-alpha4 (VLA-4alpha)/VCAM-1, whereas activated MOLT-4 cells and normal T cells bound via both adhesion pathways, namely via integrin-alpha4/VCAM-1 and LFA-1/ICAM-1 and -2. It is suggested that these adhesion mechanisms are involved in the migration of T cells into the germinal centers of secondary lymphoid organs and that they influence the selection of B cells by apoptosis.

Abstract
HIV-infected macrophages form a major reservoir of virus within tissue and are present in multiple tissue sites. Control of HIV replication within this cell population is likely to have profound effects on the pathogenesis of HIV infection. Cell-cell interaction between CD4+ T cells and macrophages is a crucial part of antigen presentation and has the potential to continually seed HIV infection of such T cells, maintaining high levels of infected cells within lymph nodes. Interaction of T cells and macrophages is controlled by engagement of cell membrane adhesion molecules which effect discrete intracellular signalling pathways. We have investigated the effects of cross-linkage of specific adhesion molecules and contact with T cells on HIV replication in chronically infected monocytic cell line OM10.1. Cross-linkage of CD18, CD29 or CD45 by immobilized antibodies specifically enhanced HIV replication in OM10.1 cells; cross-linkage of a panel of other cell surface proteins had no effect on HIV replication. Enhancement of HIV replication following cross-linkage of CD18, CD29 or CD45 was dependent upon TNF alpha secretion. Such adhesion molecules are involved in macrophage adhesion to other cells. In further experiments, we demonstrated that contact of OM10.1 cells with stimulated fixed T cells or isolated T-cell membranes potently enhanced HIV replication in a TNF-dependent manner, while in contrast, unstimulated fixed T cells or T-cell membranes had no effect on HIV replication. Cross-linkage of monocyte cell membrane adhesion molecules on contact with stimulated fixed T cells mimics adhesion molecule ligation induced during antigen presentation. Activation of HIV replication in monocytic cells on T cell-macrophage adhesion during antigen presentation would facilitate HIV infection and subsequent deletion of CD4+ T cells in an antigen-specific manner. This phenomenon may play a role in the sequential loss of antigen specific CD4+ T cells seen in HIV-infected patients.

Abstract
The effect of fibronectin on IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and IL-6 production was investigated with cultured monocytes isolated from human peripheral blood. Monokine concentrations were determined by both ELISA and bioassay. Fibronectin markedly stimulated the secretion of IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha and IL-6 from cultured monocytes in a dose-dependent manner, with the maximal effect apparent within 24 h. Northern blot analysis revealed a marked increase in the abundance of mRNA specific for each monokine on exposure of monocytes to fibronectin. Monoclonal antibodies to the alpha chain of very late antigen (VLA)-5, the beta 1 integrin, the alpha chain of Mac-1, and the beta 2 integrin, as well as the synthetic peptide of GRGDSP (which corresponds to the cell-binding domain of fibronectin), inhibited (> 50%) fibronectin-induced monokine production. Monoclonal antibodies to the alpha chain of VLA-4, and the alpha chain of LFA-1, as well as the synthetic peptide CS-1 (which corresponds to the alternatively spliced connecting segment of fibronectin) and the control peptide GRADSP, had no inhibitory effect on monokine production. A MoAb, R60, that recognizes an epitope of the fibronectin molecule that includes the RGD sequence, inhibited monokine production, whereas the MoAb Y16, which recognizes another epitope of fibronectin not including RGD, did not. These results indicate that fibronectin-induced production of IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha and IL-6 from cultured monocytes is mediated predominantly by interaction of the cell-binding domain of fibronectin with VLA-5, although Mac-1 also may contribute to this effect of fibronectin. Our results indicate that the interaction of fibronectin with integrins may contribute to the cytokine network in inflammatory response.

Abstract
CD11c/CD18 is a member of the leukocyte integrin family, heterodimeric adhesion molecules that interact with a diverse repertoire of ligands, including bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Their role as signal transducing receptors remains uncertain. We used a heterologous expression system to determine if CD11c/CD18 was capable of initiating signal transduction in response to LPS-binding, as assessed by the induced translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B. We have previously reported that Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 fibroblasts, normally unresponsive to LPS, acquire serum-dependent macrophage-like responses to LPS when transfected with CD14 (Golenbock, D.T., Y. Liu, F. Millham, M. Freeman, and R. Zoeller. 1993. J. Biol. Chem. 268:22055-22059), a known LPS receptor. In contrast, CHO cells acquired serum-independent responses to Gram-negative bacteria and LPS when transfected with CD11c/CD18 (CHO/CD11c). In comparison to CHO cells transfected with CD14 (CHO/CD14), responses in CHO/CD11c cells were slower, required higher endotoxin concentrations for maximal response, and were not inhibited by the presence of antibodies to CD14. CD11c/CD18 is, thus, the second phagocyte receptor, in addition to CD14, which has been shown to have the capacity to activate cells after binding to LPS. The function of this receptor in normal phagocytes may be limited to the recognition of LPS in infected tissues, where LPS-CD14 interactions are not favored because of the absence of serum proteins.

Abstract
IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta are polypeptide hormones that exhibit a broad spectrum of beneficial and harmful biologic activities. Clinical trials designed to benefit from its stimulatory effects on human hematopoiesis and from its role in improving host defenses, are being currently conducted. Other in vivo studies, using IL-1 inhibitors with an attempts to block the detrimental effects of IL-1, are underway. Because of the multifunctional effects of IL-1 in human physiology and its pathogenetic role in several diseases, the capability to control the effects of IL-1 may prove to be a useful tool in medical practice.

Abstract
Macrophages (M phi)3 function by a two-step process that includes priming (induction of cytokine and enzyme mRNA) and activation (production of effector molecules). The initial steps in M phi priming involve the expression of certain proto-oncogenes that regulate expression of other genes. Because tumor growth primes M phi to produce several suppressor monokines, we determined if cancer induced M phi expression of these proto-oncogenes. Unstimulated peritoneal M phi from tumor-bearing hosts (TBH) constitutively expressed the proto-oncogenes c-fms, c-fos, c-myc, and c-myb, whereas normal host (NH) M phi had little or no expression of these proto-oncogenes. When M phi were given a 24-h adherence priming stimulus, NH M phi expressed c-fms and c-fos at levels equivalent to TBH M phi constitutive expression. Adherence had little or no effect on c-fms and c-fos expression in TBH M phi or on NH and TBH M phi c-myc expression. c-myb expression was not induced in NH M phi during adherence and was strongly decreased in TBH M phi. Activation with a 1-h lipopolysaccharide-treatment increased NH and TBH M phi expression of c-fms, c-fos, and c-myc, with higher expression of these proto-oncogenes in TBH M phi. Activation failed to induce c-myb expression in NH M phi and completely inhibited expression in TBH M phi. Because c-fms, c-fos, and c-myc are normally expressed early during M phi activation, our results suggest that tumor growth primes M phi by inducing expression of these proto-oncogenes. c-myb is expressed in immature M phi and is downregulated during M phi activation. These observations explain why NH M phi expression of c-myb was not induced and are consistent with reports that suggest TBH M phi have not reached full developmental maturity. The induction of M phi proto-oncogene expression during cancer may put M phi in a primed state, which leads to earlier and stronger production of adverse suppressor and cytotoxic molecules.

Abstract
Stimulation of adherent human neutrophils (PMN) with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) triggers protein tyrosine phosphorylation (Fuortes, M., W. W. Jin, and C. Nathan. 1993. J. Cell Biol. 120:777-784). We investigated the dependence of this response on beta 2 integrins by using PMN isolated from a leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) patient, which do not express beta 2 integrins, and by plating PMN on surface bound anti-beta 2 (CD18) antibodies. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation increased in PMN plated on fibrinogen and this phosphorylation was enhanced by TNF. Triggering of protein tyrosine phosphorylation did not occur in LAD PMN plated on fibrinogen either in the absence or the presence of TNF. Surface bound anti-CD18, but not isotype-matched anti-Class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens, antibodies triggered tyrosine phosphorylation in normal, but not in LAD PMN. As the major tyrosine phosphorylated proteins we found in our assay conditions migrated with an apparent molecular mass of 56-60 kD, we investigated whether beta 2 integrins are implicated in activation of members of the src family of intracellular protein-tyrosine kinases. We found that the fgr protein-tyrosine kinase (p58fgr) activity, and its extent of phosphorylation in tyrosine, in PMN adherent to fibrinogen, was enhanced by TNF. Activation of p58fgr in response to TNF was evident within 10 min of treatment and increased with times up to 30 min. Also other activators of beta 2 integrins such as phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and formyl methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), induced activation of p58fgr kinase activity. Activation of p58fgr kinase activity, and phosphorylation in tyrosine, did not occur in PMN of a LAD patient in response to TNF. Soluble anti-CD18, but not anti-Class I MHC antigens, antibodies inhibited activation of p58fgr kinase activity in PMN adherent to fibrinogen in response to TNF, PMA, and FMLP. These findings demonstrate that, in PMN, beta 2 integrins are implicated in triggering of protein tyrosine phosphorylation, and establish a link between beta 2 integrin-dependent adhesion and the protein tyrosine kinase fgr in cell signaling.

Abstract
Cellular adherence is important for monocyte migration and function and is known to induce monocyte activation, leading to the production of mRNA for several proto-oncogenes and cytokines. In addition, since cellular adherence has important intracellular signalling function, it has the potential to enhance human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication in monocytic cells. We have investigated the effects of adhesion of the monocytic cell line THP-1 transfected with HIV1 or HIV2 long terminal repeat chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (LTR CAT) constructs. These studies have shown that adherence to tissue culture plastic or confluent endothelial cells is essential for enhanced HIV LTR CAT expression in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cells. In addition, we have investigated the effects of engagement of specific adhesion molecules, using immobilized antibodies, on HIV replication in the promonocytic cell line OM101, which contains a single latent proviral copy of HIV. Such studies have demonstrated that engagement of CD18, the beta subunit of the lymphocyte function-related antigen-1 (LFA-1) and major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) enhanced HIV replication. LFA-1 is involved in both monocyte-endothelial cell interactions and monocyte-T-cell interactions, and MHC II is involved in monocyte interaction with antigen-specific T cells. These data suggest that such interactions of membrane adhesion molecules with their appropriate ligand enhance HIV replication in vivo. Thus, this study has demonstrated that cellular adherence is a key regulatory factor of HIV replication in monocytic cells.

Abstract
Disseminated intravascular coagulation, characterized by circulating fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDP), is associated with both acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. Since the association of FDP with monocytes could influence the release of cytokines and other regulatory proteins with significant clinical ramifications, we have studied cytokine synthesis and release following the interaction of D-dimer (DD), a terminal degradation product of fibrin, with human monocytes in vitro. Adherent peripheral blood monocytes were incubated with purified DD for 24 and 48 h and secreted or cell-associated IL-1 beta and IL-6 antigen levels and activity determined. DD (50 micrograms/ml) boosted the secretion of IL-1 beta antigen from median control levels of 659 pg/ml to 2704 pg/ml and that of IL-6 antigen from 806 pg/ml to > 3000 pg/ml at 48 h (P < 0.05). Similar increases in extracellular biologically active IL-1 and IL-6 were observed. Although DD increased cell associated IL-1 beta antigen levels from median values of 188 to 1600 pg/106 cells and IL-6 antigen from 660 to 2215 pg/106 cells (P < 0.05), cell-associated IL-1 functional activity decreased from control levels of 98 inhibitor units/ml to 65 units/ml for cells exposed to DD. Secreted plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) bioactivity and PAI type 2 antigen levels were significantly increased following exposure of monocytes to DD. This may explain the decreased cell associated IL-1 activity observed in our study as PAI are known to inhibit biologically active membrane bound IL-1. Our finding that DD enhances monocyte release of biologically active cytokines suggests the presence of positive feedback pathways for fibrinogen synthesis by hepatocytes. Furthermore, the association of monocytes with DD may potentiate localized coagulation processes by subsequent alterations in pericellular proteolysis.

Abstract
The ligation between leucocyte-Function-Associated Molecule 1 (LFA-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecules (ICAM) is thought to be an important component in the stimulatory interaction between antigen-presenting cells (APC) and T cells. Similar to antigenic stimulation, T-cell stimulation with pokeweed mitogen (PWM) is highly dependent on monocytes as accessory cells. This is partly a consequence of the requirement for mitogen presentation by the monocytes. The study described here addressed the question of whether LFA-1 ligation by accessory cells influences the activation of T cells with PWM. To avoid multiple costimulatory interactions between T cells and monocytes, experiments were performed with purified T cells, which were stimulated with PWM bound on autologous red blood cells (PWM-RBC). Binding on the RBC substituted partly for PWM presentation by the monocytes. Anti-LFA-1 MoAbs were presented in the immobilized form in order to mimick LFA-1 ligation by cell-bound ICAM. Three out of three different MoAbs against the beta-chain of the LFA-1 molecule (CD18) and two out of three MoAbs against the alpha-chain (CD11a) had an enhancing effect on T-cell proliferation. Proliferation was increased further by simultaneous addition of interleukin (IL)-1 beta and IL-6. Ligation of the LFA-1 molecule was found to enhance IL-2 production and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production. The results suggest that interaction of LFA-1 with ICAM on the monocytes contributes to the accessory signal activity of monocytes in T-cell activation with PWM.

Abstract
The stimulation of mononuclear phagocytes by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is facilitated by the binding of complexes of LPS and LPS-binding protein to CD14. Although it is clear that CD14 is involved in LPS-induced signaling, other investigators have hypothesized the existence of additional signaling pathways in macrophages. We sought to determine whether CD14-independent pathways of monocyte activation might exist. Washed human mononuclear cells responded with reduced sensitivity to LPS in the absence of serum. Anti-CD14 monoclonal antibody (MAb) inhibited the response to LPS in serum-free conditions, but this was easily reversed at higher concentrations of LPS. We established a human monocytic cell line, designated SFM (derived from THP-1), in serum-free medium to examine LPS responses under defined conditions. Differentiation of SFM cells with 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol promoted the expression of abundant cell surface CD14. Differentiated SFM cells responded to LPS despite the complete absence of serum proteins for > 20 generations of growth. LPS stimulation of differentiated SFM cells was inhibited by anti-CD14 MAbs only when serum was present. In contrast to anti-CD14 MAb, the LPS antagonists lipid IVa and Rhodobacter sphaeroides lipid A inhibited monocyte activation under serum-free conditions, implying that these compounds compete with LPS at a site distinct from CD14. Undifferentiated SFM cells (expressing minimal CD14) still responded to LPS in serum-free conditions, and anti-CD14 MAb had little inhibitory effect. The addition of purified LPS-binding protein or human serum promoted a CD14-dependent pathway of monocyte activation by LPS in these cells. We conclude that monocytes do not absolutely require serum proteins to be stimulated by LPS and that CD14-independent LPS signaling pathways exist which are inhibitable by lipid IVa and R. sphaeroides lipid A.

Abstract
Contact of mononuclear cells (MNC) with cuprophan membranes in vitro causes an increase in beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) synthesis. Since in vivo the dialyzer membrane is rapidly coated with plasma proteins, contact activation of MNC was tested in the presence of normal human serum (NHS). After contact with cuprophan, deposition of C5b-9 on the cells was seen, followed by an increase in beta 2m synthesis and cytokine release, exceeding that seen after contact activation in the absence of serum. Inactivated serum or serum deficient in C8 did not increase beta 2m production, indicating that the additional activation was due to complement C5b-9. The results suggest that there are two cuprophan-related mechanisms of cell activation: one by contact of cells with the membrane, the other by the complement activation products. Both might synergistically contribute to an increased beta 2m synthesis in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
The use of devices which result in exposure of blood to artificial surface has gained increasing importance in routine medical and surgical practice. In the field of biocompatibility, attention has long been directed at the mechanisms of thrombus formation of surfaces. In recent years however, a special interest has emerged for the study of the immunological consequences of blood-artificial surface interactions, thus broadening the concept of hemocompatibility. The contact of blood with artificial devices results in the activation of a number of humoral and cellular processes involved in natural and in specific immunological recognition of foreign surfaces by the host, and in the secondary occurrence of acute and chronic adverse reactions in patients undergoing extracorporeal circulation. The purpose of this review is to discuss the mechanisms involved in immunological bioincompatibility of extracorporeal circuits, with particular emphasis on the molecular basis of the activation of the complement system, the role of endotoxins, and the induction of cytokine production by activated monocytes.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that the induction by staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) secretion by human monocytes requires direct T cell-monocyte contact. In the present study, a role for the adhesion molecule lymphocyte function associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) in TSST-1-induced cytokine secretion by human monocytes among 12 normal healthy donors was investigated. Monoclonal antibodies to the alpha chain (anti-CD11a) and to the beta chain (anti-CD18) of LFA-1 significantly inhibited TSST-1-induced TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta secretion (P < 0.025; Wilcoxon signed-rank test, two tailed), while a control monoclonal antibody directed against the monocyte CD14 antigen had no effect. These results suggest that LFA-1 may play an important role in the secretion of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta by TSST-1-stimulated human monocytes, likely by promoting cell-cell adhesion between monocytes and lymphocytes.

Abstract
We have investigated the role of the membrane molecules CD11/CD18 and CD14 which may mediate the binding of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to human monocytes, in the induction of the production and release of interleukin (IL)-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by LPS-stimulated cells. Blockade of CD11a, CD11b and CD18 with saturating concentrations of specific mAb did not inhibit the release of cytokines from LPS-stimulated monocytes. In contrast, inhibition of the release of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha occurred in monocytes cultures that had been pretreated with either of two monoclonal antibodies (mAb) recognizing different epitopes on the CD14 molecule. The binding of LPS to CD14 has been previously shown to require serum factors. In the present study, we found that serum had an enhancing effect on the release of IL-1 and TNF-alpha from LPS-stimulated cultures of normal human monocytes. The inhibitory effect of anti-CD14 mAb was, however, observed in cultures performed in the presence or in the absence of serum, suggesting that triggering of IL-1/TNF-alpha release by CD14 is independent of LPS-binding proteins or other serum proteins. IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha were also released from LPS-stimulated cultures of monocytes from patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria lacking expression of CD14. Thus, CD14 but not CD11/CD18 can trigger serum-dependent and independent cytokine release from endotoxin-stimulated normal human monocytes; CD14 is not, however, the only LPS receptor that is involved in the secretory response of endotoxin-stimulated cells.

Abstract
Interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and beta (IL-1 beta) are proinflammatory cytokines that are encoded by distinct genes, but share most biological activities. During the past several years, intense investigation has focused on elucidating the molecular basis for the regulation of IL-1 alpha and beta gene expression. While the overall organization of both genes is conserved in mammals, the DNA sequence homology is surprisingly limited. This supports the growing body of evidence suggesting that each gene is regulated by distinct cis- and transacting elements. Most recently, novel regulatory DNA sequence elements and several nuclear regulatory proteins have been identified, which ultimately participate in the control of IL-1 beta gene transcription. In addition to transcriptional controls, the stability of IL-1 mRNA can be selectively regulated by various inducing stimuli and other cytokines. Taken together, these transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms provide stringent, yet flexible, control over expression of the IL-1 alpha and beta genes.

Abstract
The CD11/CD18 leukocyte surface adhesion glycoprotein family consists of three different heterodimeric molecules that play an essential role in adhesion-related functions such as migration, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis. This suggests an important role of these molecules in inflammatory processes. The three molecules consist of a specific alpha chain (CD11a, CD11b, or CD11c) and share a common beta chain (CD18). The expression of the cell adhesion glycoprotein family on alveolar macrophages (AM) and peripheral blood monocytes (PBM) was studied in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples and PB from 11 smokers and 10 nonsmoking healthy volunteers. Smokers showed increased numbers of macrophages in their BAL fluid as compared with nonsmokers. This is probably due to an increased recruitment of blood monocytes to the alveoli, since the numbers as well as percentages of cells with a monocyte-like morphology were significantly increased in BAL fluid samples from smokers. The proportion of CD11+/CD18+ AM in the BAL fluid from smokers, however, was decreased as compared with AM from nonsmokers and PBM. This suggests that tobacco smoke might play a role in the downregulation of these leukocyte adhesion glycoproteins on AM.

Abstract
During their life span, leukocytes adhere transiently to one another, to other cell types, such as vascular endothelial cells, and to extracellular matrix proteins. This adhesiveness is mediated by families of specific cell surface adhesion molecules, namely, integrins, immunoglobulin superfamily molecules, and selectins. Adhesion is required for leukocyte-mediated cytotoxicity, phagocytosis, chemotaxis, and induction of lymphocyte proliferation and maturation. It also participates in recirculation and homing of lymphocytes into lymphoid organs and in leukocyte migration from the vascular compartment to extravascular tissues. Adhesion underlies the beneficial or detrimental role of leukocytes in immune and inflammatory responses. In animals, blocking monoclonal antibodies to adhesion molecules dramatically reduce vascular and tissue injury in several organs following ischemia-reperfusion, and delay renal allograft rejection. Moreover, expression of particular adhesion molecules is induced or increased in cells which are targets for allergic or autoimmune reactions and in inflamed tissues. On the other hand, a congenital deficiency of the CD11/CD18 integrins (Leu-CAMs) leads to recurrent, and sometimes fatal, bacterial infections, and lack of particular cell-adhesion molecules on Burkitt's lymphoma cells may enable these cells to escape immunosurveillance.

Abstract
Inflammation and phagocytosis are highly complex events involving many humoral and cellular factors, with complement components playing a key role. As described here by Mike Frank and Louis Fries, complement peptides trigger cell function, aid in the recognition of invading pathogens and regulate the phagocytic process via interactions with specific cell surface receptors.

Abstract
Human mononuclear leukocytes (MNL) exposed to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) produce net IL-1 inhibitor bioactivity with the anticipated consequences of cell cycle arrest, suppressed virus-specific proliferation, and reduced expression of activation markers. These studies were undertaken to investigate effects of exposure and resultant net IL-1 inhibitor activity on the expression of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and its ligand the lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA-1). MNL collected at 1, 4, and 24 h after exposure to influenza virus (which induces net IL-1 bioactivity) showed enhanced expression of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 relative to sham-exposed MNL and exhibited cell clustering. In contrast, exposure to RSV was associated with suppressed expression of both ICAM-1 and LFA-1 and with minimal detectable cell clustering throughout the culture period. Influenza virus-exposed MNL produced significantly more IL-1 and IFN-gamma (which require cell-cell collaboration for optimal production) than did RSV-exposed MNL. These data raise the possibility that exposure of MNL to RSV fails to elicit or blocks the early events necessary for cellular collaboration, contributing to early suppression of the clonal expansion of RSV-specific lymphocytes.

Abstract
The effects of GM-CSF, IL-2, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and IL-6 on the production of IL-1 (both secreted and cell associated) and TNF-alpha by peripheral blood monocytes were studied. Monocytes were cultured for 20 h in suspension and in serum-free conditions which minimized background stimulation of monokine production. GM-CSF, IL-2 and TNF-alpha directly induced the production of cell-associated IL-1 but little or no IL-1 or TNF-alpha secretion. Combination of GM-CSF with IFN-gamma, IL-2 or TNF-alpha synergistically enhanced IL-1 secretion and had an additive effect on cell-associated IL-1 production. Combination of IL-2 with IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha also synergistically enhanced IL-1 secretion but the effect on cell-associated IL-1 production was less than additive. GM-CSF synergistically enhanced TNF-alpha secretion induced by IFN-gamma but not by lipopolysaccharide. GM-CSF did not enhance TNF-alpha secretion induced by IL-2 or TNF-alpha. In contrast, IL-2 synergistically enhanced TNF-alpha secretion induced by IFN-gamma. These results are discussed in relation to cytokine involvement in rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Recent studies have identified three classes of receptor molecules involved in recognition of endotoxin. Two classes of receptors, the CD18 antigens and the scavenger receptor, recognize lipopolysaccharide directly and function principally in its catabolism. A third molecule, CD14, recognizes lipopolysaccharide with the aid of a serum protein, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, and may be a principal mediator of secretory responses of leukocytes.

Abstract
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent stimulus of cells, yet a target protein for LPS has not been defined. We used two approaches to define LPS-binding sites on cell surfaces: one assay measured binding of LPS-coated erythrocytes (ELPS) to cultured human cells, and a second measured binding of a radiolabeled probe, [32P]lipid IVA, to intact leukocytes. The first approach identified the CD11-CD18 family of integrins as lipid A-binding sites in human phagocytes, and the latter approach demonstrated saturable lipid A binding to intact murine macrophages, as well as to an approximately 95-kDa binding protein in purified membrane preparations. Because CD18 has a known molecular mass of 95 kDa, we sought to determine whether the [32P]lipid IVA-binding site was CD18. Binding of ELPS and [32P]lipid IVA to human macrophages was found to differ with respect to temperature, divalent cation dependence, cellular specificity, and susceptibility to competition by polyanions. To determine whether the previously described 95-kDa lipid A-binding protein was CD18, nitrocellulose-immobilized RAW264.7 membrane proteins were probed with [32P]lipid IVA and subsequently immunoblotted with a monoclonal antibody to murine CD18. The lipid A-binding protein has an electrophoretic mobility slightly different from that of CD18. Moreover, monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antiserum to the CD11-CD18 family of proteins did not inhibit lipid IVA binding to intact human macrophages. Finally, mononuclear cells from two patients with CD18 deficiency failed to form rosettes with ELPS but bound [32P]lipid IVA normally. Thus, different LPS preparations may bind to cells in a CD18-dependent or -independent manner. Since ELPS is particulate and lipid IVA is a fine dispersion, the identity of the binding site may depend on the physical state of the LPS.
