Abstract
Objectives: This study reports the levels of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors previously identified as taking part in the pathology of atherosclerosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells derived from mothers with type 2 diabetes and compares them with those in human umbilical vein endothelial cells derived from healthy mothers under normal glucose conditions. Methods: Cytokine analysis measures of human umbilical vein endothelial cell lysates were obtained using a multiple analyte profiling (xMAP) assay based on magnetic bead-based technology, using the MAGPIX instrument. The correlation between cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors was examined statistically in human umbilical vein endothelial cells derived from mothers with type 2 diabetes. Results: This study showed that the expression of proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 alpha was significantly greater in human umbilical vein endothelial cells derived from mothers with type 2 diabetes than those derived from healthy mothers. The protein level of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was higher in human umbilical vein endothelial cells derived from mothers with type 2 diabetes than those derived from healthy mothers. A significant positive correlation was demonstrated between the protein expression of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in human umbilical vein endothelial cells derived from mothers with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: Diabetes evokes a persistent inflammatory phenotype in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, as indicated by the enhanced production of cytokines and growth factors under normal glucose conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular smooth muscle cells exhibit phenotypic plasticity in response to microenvironmental stimuli and contribute to vascular remodelling through mechanisms only partially understood. In atherosclerosis, P2X-purinoceptor7 (P2X7) has been related to interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9). The hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF1α) was associated to remodelling. Here the activation of IL-1β and MMP9 was studied in relationship to P2X7 and HIF1α in cells exploited from human carotid plaque and internal mammary artery. METHODS AND RESULTS Migrating cells expressed HIF1α-regulated canopy FGF-signalling regulator 2 and CD117, and led to primary cells with SMC-like phenotype (VSMC), P2X7+. We investigated in VSMC the effects of hypoxia, of treatment with tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and/or with P2X7 antagonist, A740003. Quantitative RT-PCR showed that hypoxia unaffected IL-1β and down-regulated MMP9 mRNAs, without activating HIF1α. TNFα increased IL-1β mRNA via NLR Family Pyrin Domain-Containing 3, with production of proIL-1β but no rise of mature IL-1β. Zymography demonstrated that A740003 triggered MMP9 secretion from VSMC. Combination of A740003 with TNFα abrogated this effect. Combination was ineffective on IL-1β activation elicited by TNFα, but down-regulated HIF1α mRNA. A740003 induced the intracellular P2X7 aggregation and differently perturbed lysosome and mitochondria network compared to TNFα. CONCLUSIONS Cells migration from human arteries leads to partially differentiated VSMC analogous to neointimal cells within atherosclerotic lesions. Down-regulated HIF1α in stimulated VSMC translates in resilience in atherosclerotic lesions. P2X7-independent partial activation of IL-1β elicited by TNFα underlines complexity of the cytokine secretion. Data also supported P2X7 as modulator of MMP9 secretion, important for atherosclerosis progression.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-1, a proinflammatory cytokine, is expressed in the lung after ozone (O(3)) exposure. IL-1 mediates its effects through the type I IL-1 receptor (IL-1RI), the only signaling receptor for both IL-1alpha and IL-1beta. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of IL-1RI in pulmonary responses to O(3.) To that end, wild-type, C57BL/6 (IL-1RI(+/+)) mice and IL-1RI-deficient (IL-1RI(-/-)) mice were exposed to O(3) either subacutely (0.3 ppm for 72 h) or acutely (2 ppm for 3 h). Subacute O(3) exposure increased bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein, interferon-gamma-inducible protein (IP)-10, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (sTNFR1), and neutrophils in IL-1RI(+/+) and IL-1RI(-/-) mice. With the exception of IP-10, all outcome indicators were reduced in IL-1RI(-/-) mice. Furthermore, subacute O(3) exposure increased IL-6 mRNA expression in IL-1RI(+/+), but not IL-1RI(-/-) mice. Acute (2 ppm) O(3) exposure increased BALF protein, IL-6, eotaxin, KC, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2, IP-10, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, sTNFR1, neutrophils, and epithelial cells in IL-1RI(+/+) and IL-1RI(-/-) mice. For IL-6, eotaxin, MIP-2, and sTNFR1, there were small but significant reductions of these outcome indicators in IL-1RI(-/-) versus IL-1RI(+/+) mice at 6 hours after exposure, but not at other time points, whereas other outcome indicators were unaffected by IL-1RI deficiency. These results suggest that IL-1RI is required for O(3)-induced pulmonary inflammation during subacute O(3) exposure, but plays a more minor role during acute O(3) exposure. In addition, these results suggest that the induction of IL-6 via IL-1RI may be important in mediating the effects of O(3) during subacute exposure.

Abstract
Because inflammatory processes may promote the development of atherosclerosis, we examined the activation of cytokine genes in rat vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro after treatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) mRNA increased in response to LPS. Activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) presumably results in NF-kappaB binding to regulatory regions of target genes and activating transcription. We therefore compared the kinetics of NF-kappaB activation, cytokine message production, and TNF-alpha secretion. Maximum active NF-kappaB was found at 30 min after the addition of LPS and decreased thereafter. Increased IL-6 mRNA was detected at 30 min, increased TNF-alpha mRNA at 60 min, and increased IL-1 mRNA at 120 min. Secretion of TNF-alpha was dependent on LPS concentration and was first detected 120 min after LPS addition. Aspirin, which has been shown to inhibit NF-kappaB activation and cytokine secretion in other cell types, did not inhibit NF-kappaB activation or TNF-alpha secretion. However, aspirin reduced the amount of both TNF-alpha and IL-6 mRNA present 30 min after LPS addition by half (P < 0.05).

Abstract
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is secreted from all rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) examined, in addition to endothelial cells (ECs). An average secretion rate of ET-1 from rat VSMCs was determined to be 10% that excreted from ECs. We examined the effects of 22 substances on ET-1 secretion from VSMCs and compared them with those from ECs. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta), acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors, epidermal growth factor, angiotensin II, and adrenaline stimulated ET-1 secretion from VSMCs, whereas forskolin, thrombin, and platelet-derived growth factor-BB reduced it. Only TGF-beta and phorbol ester elicited consistent effects on ET-1 secretion from VSMCs and ECs. Regulation of ET-1 and adrenomedullin secretion from VSMCs was distinctly different. These data suggest that ET- 1 production in VSMCs is regulated by a mechanism separate from that in ECs and from adrenomedullin production in VSMCs. Chromatographic analysis showed immunoreactive ET-1 secreted from VSMCs was mainly composed of big ET- 1, whereas approximately 90% of that from ECs was ET-1. By TGF-beta stimulation of VSMCs, the ratio of big ET-1 to ET-1 was further increased. Because big ET-1 is converted into ET-1 only on the surface of the ECs in the culture system, big ET-1 secreted from the VSMCs may function as a mediator transmitting a signal from VSMCs to ECs in vivo.

Abstract
In patients with atherosclerosis, fibrosclerotic focuses are induced by multiplication of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), and they are regulated by cytokines and regulators. There have been few reports about the atheroprotective effect of estriol (E(3)). Estrone sulfate (E(1)-S) is the predominant estrogen of conjugated equiline estrogens, which is commonly used in hormone replacement therapy, but it should be hydrolyzed by steroid sulfatase (STS) to enter the cells of target tissues. The purpose of this study was to detect STS in VSMC and to investigate whether E(3) and E(1)-S have atheroprotective effects like E(2). First, we detected the presence of STS mRNA in VSMC by in situ hybridization. We then examined the changes in the expression of mRNAs of cytokines, namely, PDGF-A chain, IL-1, IL-6 and TGF-beta, in VSMC, in the presence and absence of E(3) and estrogens. As a result, the expression of PDGF-A chain, IL-1 and IL-6 mRNAs was suppressed by E(3) (P<0.05 vs control) significantly like E(1)-S and E(2), but that of TGF-beta mRNA was not significantly affected by any estrogen. These results indicate that E(1)-S can be hydrolyzed by STS in VSMC, and that E(3) may regulate the cytokines by suppressing the production of mRNAs. It is suggested that there is a possibility of E(1)-S and E(3) having a direct effect on vessels in atherogenesis.

Abstract
Leukocyte interactions with endothelial cell monolayers (ECM) and smooth muscle cells (SMC) play an important role during inflammatory processes. Several studies describe an inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL), endothelial cell function, and interleukin-1 (IL-1) release. Aim of the current study was to investigate the influence of dexamethasone on leukocyte migration through an endothelial cell monolayer towards SMC-layers stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Using a recently developed triple chamber migration system, SMC-layers were cultured on the bottom of a 24-well plate. On the upper surface of the first filter, ECM were cultured, the second filter was a collecting filter. The amount of leukocyte migration through ECM towards TNF-alpha-stimulated smooth muscle cell layers with and without dexamethasone-pretreatment was measured using a fluorescence technique. The pretreatment of SMC-layers with dexamethasone reduced the amount of leukocyte migration down to 92 +/- 8.8% (0.001 mM, p=n.s.), to 67 +/- 5.7% (0.01 mM, p<0.05), to 53 +/- 4.6% (0.1 mM, p<0.05), and to 41 +/- 5.0% (1 mM, p<0.05). In conclusion, dexamethasone treatment of smooth muscle cell layers inhibits leukocyte migration through ECM towards smooth muscle cell layers. The inhibition seems to be due to a decrease in IL-1 release. Treatment of all cell types, PMNL, endothelial cells, as well as smooth muscle cell layers, simulating an in-vivo situation, seems to have an additive effect.

Abstract
Examination of the interactions between various cells of the vascular wall and blood components are essential for understanding different pathophysiological processes. Such investigations require appropriate techniques. Several groups have attempted to establish different methods. In all blood vessels except capillaries, endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC) coexist and interact very closely. The current study describes a new 3-dimensional triple chamber migration assay, studying leukocyte migration through human endothelial cell monolayers (ECM) towards human SMC layers simultaneously. To test the new assay, SMC-layers were prestimulated with different concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha, 1 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml) over 6 hours. Then, two microporous membranes, a collecting membrane and a third membrane with cultured ECM, were inserted. Freshly isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) were seeded on the ECM and transmigrated cells were measured after further 3 hours incubation. The migration against non stimulated SMC-layers was used as control. Prestimulated SMC-layers led to a dose dependent increase of PBMNC migration into the subendothelial cell space. Antibodies against interleukin-1 reduced the PBMNC migration. In conclusion, this assay allows to study cell migration into the subendothelial space and interactions between different vascular cells. Moreover, this assay can also be used for studies on other cell-cell interactions in man.

Abstract
Abstract
Mast cells are found frequently in close proximity to blood vessels, and endothelial cells are likely to be exposed to high concentrations of their granule mediators. We have investigated the proinflammatory actions of the major mast cell product tryptase on HUVEC. Addition of purified tryptase was found to stimulate thymidine incorporation, but induced little alteration in cell numbers, suggesting it is not a growth factor for HUVEC. Expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin was not altered following incubation with tryptase, but the potent granulocyte chemoattractant IL-8 was released in a dose-dependent fashion in response to physiologically relevant concentrations, with maximal levels in supernatants after 24 h. The actions of tryptase on HUVEC were inhibited by heat inactivation of the enzyme, or by preincubating with the protease inhibitors leupeptin or benzamidine, suggesting a requirement for an intact catalytic site. Reverse-transcription PCR analysis indicated up-regulation of mRNA for IL-8 as well as for IL-1β in response to tryptase or TNF-α. However, tryptase was a more selective stimulus than TNF-α and did not induce increased expression of mRNA for granulocyte-macrophage CSF or stimulate the release of this cytokine. Leukocyte accumulation in response to tryptase may be mediated in part through the selective secretion of IL-8 from endothelial cells.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is secreted by endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth-muscle cells (SMCs), which are two major component cells of vessels and detected in atherosclerotic lesions. To evaluate the effect of hyperglycemia on the secretion of IL-1 beta in endothelial cells in diabetic patients, we investigated the effects of high glucose and hyperosmolar conditions on the secretion of IL-1 beta from cultured human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). HAECs were treated with high concentration of glucose or hyperosmolar condition for 3 days. IL-1 beta in the supernatant was measured by high sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Under high concentration of glucose (16.6 mmol/L) and hyperosmolar condition (glucose 5.5 mmol/L + mannitol 11.1 mmol/L), the secretion of IL-1 beta was significantly increased (41.0 +/- 2.8 and 26.3 +/- 5.9% increase, respectively, compared with that of 5.5 mmol/L glucose). In conclusion, high glucose and hyperosmolar condition increase the secretion of IL-1 beta in HAECs. The results suggest that diabetic macroangiopathies might be accelerated partly through the increase of IL-1 beta secretion in HAECs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously identified in piglet cardiac allografts an immunoinflammatory response in coronary arteries in which increased fibronectin regulated by interleukin-1 beta was associated with early evidence of intimal thickening. In the present study, we used rabbits to assess whether acute neointimal formation after cardiac transplantation was reduced by blockade of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, which modulates interleukin-1 beta, or by cyclosporine A. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixteen rabbits underwent heterotopic cardiac transplantation and were given saline, TNF-soluble receptor (sr), or cyclosporine A. In host hearts from saline- or TNFsr-treated groups, few coronary arteries (approximately 13% to 16%) had intimal thickening, whereas values were higher in the cyclosporine A-treated group (approximately 30%). In donor hearts from the saline-treated group, however, approximately 68% of vessels had intimal thickening versus approximately 32% in TNFsr- and approximately 30% in cyclosporine A-treated groups (P < .01 for both). Severity of intimal thickening assessed quantitatively as percent vessel area was approximately 38% in the saline-treated group but reduced in TNFsr- and cyclosporine A-treated groups to approximately 22% and 18%, respectively (P < .01 for each). Immunohistochemistry revealed increased staining for major histocompatibility complex II, T cells, interleukin-1 beta, TNF-alpha, and fibronectin in donor coronary arteries from saline-treated animals when compared with TNFsr- and cyclosporine A-treated animals. Grade 3 myocardial rejection was observed in both saline- and TNFsr-treated groups, but only grade 1 was apparent in the cyclosporine A-treated group. CONCLUSIONS In vivo blockade of TNF-alpha suppresses the acute development of neointimal formation by selectively reducing the vascular immunoinflammatory reaction and accumulation of fibronectin, whereas cyclosporine A suppresses both the myocardial and the vascular immune reaction.

Abstract
We previously described in piglets after heterotopic cardiac transplantation the early development of a coronary arteriopathy characterized by increased immunostaining for fibronectin and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in the vessel wall. The objective of this study was to culture smooth muscle cells from donor and host coronary arteries in these piglets to determine whether donor cells produce more fibronectin than host cells as judged by increased protein and mRNA levels, and whether IL-1 beta may be regulating this increase by an autocrine mechanism involving increased production of the cytokine. We documented increased donor coronary artery smooth muscle cell fibronectin protein synthesis and mRNA compared to host. By using neutralizing antibodies to IL-1 beta, fibronectin protein synthesis and mRNA levels were reduced in donor cells to the levels observed in the host cells and a similar reduction in synthesis was observed with the IL-1 receptor antagonist. Immunoprecipitation of newly synthesized IL-1 beta revealed increased endogenous levels in donor compared to host cells. We therefore suggest in the coronary arteriopathy a pathophysiologic mechanism whereby IL-1 beta-mediated increased fibronectin synthesis may promote lymphocyte trapping and migration of medial smooth muscle cells leading to progressive intimal thickening associated with the post-cardiac transplant coronary arteriopathy.

Abstract
The permeability of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) monolayers to [125I]-labelled bovine serum albumin (BSA) was examined following pretreatment of the cells with various cytokines. The electrical resistance measured across untreated, confluent, intact HUVEC monolayers was 18.2 +/- 3.8 omega.cm2 (mean +/- S.D. of 4 observations). Human recombinant (hr) interleukin-1 alpha/beta (IL-1 alpha/beta), hr tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and hr interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) each increased HUVEC monolayer permeability in a time- and dose-dependent manner. These effects were inhibitable by neutralizing antibodies (nAb) to the corresponding cytokines, and were not due to contamination by endotoxin (abolition of cytokine effect by heat treatment, and no effect on cytokine action of the endotoxin inhibitor polymyxin B). The effects of these cytokines were not due to endothelial cell (EC) interleukin-6 (IL-6) induction (IL-6 shown not to increase permeability) and the effect of hrTNF-alpha could not be accounted for by induction of IL-1 (effect not inhibited by hrIL-1 alpha/beta nAb). The effects of three different combinations of the cytokines (each combination at two different concentrations) on HUVEC monolayer permeability were also examined. hrIFN-gamma with hrTNF-alpha or hrIL-1 alpha/beta gave an increase in permeability (at both concentration combinations) greater than that seen with either cytokine alone. hrTNF-alpha and hrIL-1 alpha/beta in combination however produced an enhanced effect only at low concentrations, high concentrations in combination producing an effect no greater than either agent alone. These results highlight the importance of investigating actions of cytokine combinations on in vitro models of endothelial cell activation.
