Abstract
Neutrophils are critical for mediating inflammatory responses. Inhibiting neutrophil recruitment is an attractive approach for preventing inflammatory injuries, including myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, which exacerbates cardiomyocyte death after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction. In this study, we found out that a neutrophil exocytosis inhibitor Nexinhib20 inhibits not only exocytosis but also neutrophil adhesion by limiting β2 integrin activation. Using a microfluidic chamber, we found that Nexinhib20 inhibited IL-8-induced β2 integrin-dependent human neutrophil adhesion under flow. Using a dynamic flow cytometry assay, we discovered that Nexinhib20 suppresses intracellular calcium flux and β2 integrin activation after IL-8 stimulation. Western blots of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac-1)-GTP pull-down assays confirmed that Nexinhib20 inhibited Rac-1 activation in leukocytes. An in vitro competition assay showed that Nexinhib20 antagonized the binding of Rac-1 and GTP. Using a mouse model of myocardial I/R injury, Nexinhib20 administration after ischemia and before reperfusion significantly decreased neutrophil recruitment and infarct size. Our results highlight the translational potential of Nexinhib20 as a dual-functional neutrophil inhibitory drug to prevent myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, the main underlying pathology for myocardial infarction and stroke, is a chronic inflammatory disease of middle-sized to large arteries that is initiated and maintained by leukocytes infiltrating into the subendothelial space. It is now clear that the accumulation of pro-inflammatory leukocytes drives progression of atherosclerosis, its clinical complications, and directly modulates tissue-healing in the infarcted heart after myocardial infarction. This inflammatory response is orchestrated by multiple soluble mediators that enhance inflammation systemically and locally, as well as by a multitude of partially tissue-specific molecules that regulate homing, adhesion, and transmigration of leukocytes. While numerous experimental studies in the mouse have refined our understanding of leukocyte accumulation from a conceptual perspective, only a few anti-leukocyte therapies have been directly validated in humans. Lack of tissue-tropism of targeted factors required for leukocyte accumulation and unspecific inhibition strategies remain the major challenges to ultimately translate therapies that modulate leukocytes accumulation into clinical practice. Here, we carefully describe receptor and ligand pairs that guide leukocyte accumulation into the atherosclerotic plaque and the infarcted myocardium, and comment on potential future medical therapies.

Abstract
Selective pharmacological treatments targeting reperfusion injury produced modest protective effects and might be associated with immunosuppression. In order to identify novel and better-tolerated approaches, we focused on the neutralization of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand [RANKL], a cytokine recently shown to activate inflammatory cells (i.e. neutrophils) orchestrating post-infarction injury and repair. Myocardial ischemia (60min) and reperfusion injury was surgically induced in C57Bl/6 mice. In hearts and serum, RANKL was early upregulated during reperfusion. A "one-shot" injection with neutralizing anti-RANKL IgG during ischemia ameliorated myocardial infarct size and function, but not adverse remodeling (determined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI]) as compared to Vehicle or control IgG. These beneficial effects were accompanied in vivo by reduction in cardiac neutrophil infiltration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MMP-9 release. Anti-RANKL IgG treatment suppressed sudden peak of neutrophil granule products in mouse serum early after reperfusion onset. In vitro, RANK mRNA expression was detected in isolated mouse neutrophils. Co-incubation with neutralizing anti-RANKL IgG abrogated RANKL-induced mouse neutrophil degranulation and migration, suggesting a critical role of RANKL in neutrophil-mediated injury. Conversely, anti-RANKL IgG did not affect salvage pathways in cardiac cells (i.e. ERK p42/p44, Akt and STAT-3) or macrophage cardiac infiltration. Finally, treatment with anti-RANKL IgG showed no effect on B and T lymphocyte polarization (in serum, spleen and infarcted myocardium) and circulating chemokines as compared with Vehicle or control IgG. In conclusion, acute treatment with anti-RANKL IgG improved cardiac infarct size and function by potentially impacting on neutrophil-mediated injury and repair.

Abstract
Aim Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a major cause of death and disability worldwide, despite available reperfusion therapies. Inflammatory signaling is considered nodal in defining final infarct size. Activation of the innate immune receptor toll-like receptors (TLR) 9 prior to ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) reduces infarct size, but the consequence of TLR9 activation timed to the onset of ischemia is not known. Methods and Results The TLR9-agonist; CpG B was injected i.p. in C57BL/6 mice immediately after induction of ischemia (30 minutes). Final infarct size, as well as area-at-risk, was measured after 24 hours of reperfusion. CpG B injection resulted in a significant increase in circulating granulocytes and monocytes both in sham and I/R mice. Paradoxically, clear evidence of reduced cardiac infiltration of both monocytes and granulocytes could be demonstrated in I/R mice treated with CpG B (immunocytochemistry, myeloperoxidase activity and mRNA expression patterns). In addition, systemic TLR9 activation elicited significant alterations of cardiac inflammatory genes. Despite these biochemical and cellular changes, there was no difference in infarct size between vehicle and CpG B treated I/R mice. Conclusion Systemic TLR9-stimulation upon onset of ischemia and subsequent reperfusion does not alter final infarct size despite causing clear alterations of both systemic and cardiac inflammatory parameters. Our results question the clinical usefulness of TLR9 activation during cardiac I/R.

Abstract
Ischaemia and reperfusion (I/R) elicits an acute inflammatory response that is characterized by the recruitment of inflammatory cells, oxidative stress, and endothelial barrier failure. Over the past three decades, much progress has been made in our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the inflammatory response and microvascular dysfunction associated with I/R. This review is focused on the role of leucocytes (neutrophils and T-lymphocytes) and platelets, and their activation products, as mediators of I/R-induced endothelial barrier failure. The contributions of cytokines, chemokines, and oxidative stress to I/R-induced barrier dysfunction are also discussed. It concludes with an analysis of how risk factors for cardiovascular disease, i.e. hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, and obesity, influence the vascular permeability response to I/R. Areas of uncertainty and controversy in this field of investigation are also identified.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the effects of oxidative stress on neointimal hyperplasia through local overexpression of human copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD). METHODS The left common femoral arteries (CFA) of 18 New Zealand white rabbits were subjected to balloon overdilation injury. Each dilated CFA was then incubated with either a nonviral (buffer) or viral (adenovirus overexpressing beta-galactosidase) control or an adenovirus overexpressing Cu-Zn SOD. Animals were then sacrificed at 3, 7, or 28 days (3 arteries per group per time point) and the treated CFA segments were harvested for analysis of esterase-positive inflammatory cells and extracellular matrix elements. The intima-to-media ratio (I/M) was measured to assess the degree of neointimal formation. RESULTS At 3 days, local SOD levels in the Cu-Zn SOD-treated group were significantly elevated relative to both controls (p<0.01). Significant reductions in lipid peroxidation byproducts were also seen in the SOD group relative to viral and nonviral controls (p<0.05). Mean I/M at 28 days was 0.582+/-0.088 for the nonviral control group versus 0.565+/-0.133 for the viral control group. The SOD-treated group had a significant reduction relative to both controls: 0.259+/-0.045 (p<0.05). Statistically significant reductions in I/M were also demonstrated in the SOD group relative to control groups at 7 days (p<0.05). The SOD-treated group demonstrated significant preservation of elastin relative to controls, as well as a significant reduction in esterase-positive granulocytes relative to controls (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Direct buffering of oxidative stress in balloon-injured vessels can significantly alter postinjury response and limit neointimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
Chronic hypoxia in the presence of high glucose leads to progressive acidosis of cardiac myocytes in culture. The condition parallels myocardial ischemia in vivo, where ischemic tissue becomes rapidly hypoxic and acidotic. Cardiac myocytes are resistant to chronic hypoxia at neutral pH but undergo extensive death when the extracellular pH (pH[o]) drops below 6.5. A microarray analysis of 20 000 genes (cDNAs and expressed sequence tags) screened with cDNAs from aerobic and hypoxic cardiac myocytes identified >100 genes that were induced by >2-fold and approximately 20 genes that were induced by >5-fold. One of the most strongly induced transcripts was identified as the gene encoding the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member BNIP3. Northern and western blot analyses confirmed that BNIP3 was induced by 12-fold (mRNA) and 6-fold (protein) during 24 h of hypoxia. BNIP3 protein, but not the mRNA, accumulated 3.5-fold more rapidly under hypoxia-acidosis. Cell fractionation experiments indicated that BNIP3 was loosely bound to mitochondria under conditions of neutral hypoxia but was translocated into the membrane when the myocytes were acidotic. Translocation of BNIP3 coincided with opening of the mitochondrial permeability pore (MPTP). Paradoxically, mitochondrial pore opening did not promote caspase activation, and broad-range caspase inhibitors do not block this cell death pathway. The pathway was blocked by antisense BNIP3 oligonucleotides and MPTP inhibitors. Therefore, cardiac myocyte death during hypoxia-acidosis involves two distinct steps: (1) hypoxia activates transcription of the death-promoting BNIP3 gene through a hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) site in the promoter and (2) acidosis activates BNIP3 by promoting membrane translocation. This is an atypical programmed death pathway involving a combination of the features of apoptosis and necrosis. In this article, we will review the evidence for this unique pathway of cell death and discuss its relevance to ischemic heart disease. The article also contains new evidence that chronic hypoxia at neutral pH does not promote apoptosis or activate caspases in neonatal cardiac myocytes.

Abstract
There appears to be a controversy in the study of myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury and preconditioning whether nitric oxide (NO) plays a protective or detrimental role. A number of findings and the interpretation of the results to date do not support such a controversy. An understanding of the latest developments in NO, superoxide (O(2)(-)*) and peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) biology, as well as the various ischaemic animal models utilized is necessary to resolve the apparent controversy. NO is an important cardioprotective molecule via its vasodilator, antioxidant, antiplatelet, and antineutrophil actions and it is essential for normal heart function. However, NO is detrimental if it combines with O(2)(-)* to form ONOO(-) which rapidly decomposes to highly reactive oxidant species. There is a critical balance between cellular concentrations of NO, O(2)(-)*, and superoxide dismutase which physiologically favour NO production but in pathological conditions such as ischaemia and reperfusion result in ONOO(-) formation. In contrast, exposure of the heart to brief episode(s) of ischaemia markedly enhances its ability to withstand a subsequent ischaemic injury. The triggering of this endogenous cardioprotective mechanism known as preconditioning requires both NO and O(2)(-)* synthesis. However, preconditioning in turn attenuates the overproduction of NO, O(2)(-)* and ONOO(-) during a subsequent episode of ischaemia and reperfusion, thereby protecting the heart. Here we review the roles of NO, O(2)(-)*, and ONOO(-) in both ischaemia-reperfusion injury and preconditioning.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease leads to injury and loss of myocardial tissue by deprivation of blood flow (ischemia) and is a major underlying cause of heart failure. Prolonged ischemia causes necrosis and apoptosis of cardiac myocytes and vascular cells; however, the mechanisms of ischemia-mediated cell death are poorly understood. Ischemia is associated with both hypoxia and acidosis due to increased glycolysis and lactic acid production. We recently reported that hypoxia does not induce cardiac myocyte apoptosis in the absence of acidosis. We now report that hypoxia-acidosis-associated cell death is mediated by BNIP3, a member of the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis-regulating proteins. Chronic hypoxia induced the expression and accumulation of BNIP3 mRNA and protein in cardiac myocytes, but acidosis was required to activate the death pathway. Acidosis stabilized BNIP3 protein and increased the association with mitochondria. Cell death by hypoxia-acidosis was blocked by pretreatment with antisense BNIP3 oligonucleotides. The pathway included extensive DNA fragmentation and opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, but no apparent caspase activation. Overexpression of wild-type BNIP3, but not a translocation-defective mutant, activated cardiac myocyte death only when the myocytes were acidic. This pathway may figure significantly in muscle loss during myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
1. The present study examines the role of migrating leukocytes in the ability of IL-1 beta to induce the functional up-regulation of B(1) receptors, as assessed by kinin B(1) agonist-induced oedema in the rat paw. 2. Pre-treatment with the PAF receptor antagonist WEB 2086 inhibited des-Arg(9)-BK-induced oedema in IL-1 beta-treated paws, while the LTB(4) receptor antagonist CP105696 had no effect. Des-Arg(9)-BK-induced paw oedema was also inhibited by pre-treatment with the selectin blocker fucoidin or by an anti-CD-18 monoclonal antibody. 3. I.d. injection of IL-1 beta produced a 5 - 10-fold increase of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the rat paw. The increase in MPO activity was significantly inhibited by WEB 2086 (46 +/- 9%), fucoidin (68 +/- 5%) or the CD-18 antibody (84 +/- 3%). In contrast, i.d. injection of TNF alpha a dose known to upregulate the B(1) receptor functionally did not induce any significant increase in MPO activity. 4. Des-Arg(9)-BK alone had no effect in MPO activity but enhanced (by about 40%) the response induced by IL-1 beta, an effect prevented by the B(1) receptor antagonist des-Arg(9)-[Leu(8)]-BK. 5. The concentration of TNF-alpha was increased in the paws after i.d. injection of IL-1 beta. Pre-treatment with fucoidin, WEB 2086, anti-CD-18 or CP 105695, significantly reversed the local increases in TNF-alpha concentrations (80 +/- 2; 75 +/- 4, 73 +/- 3 and 40 +/- 2%), respectively. 6. Finally, IL-1 beta induced an increase of B(1) receptor mRNA levels in the rat paw, an effect which was prevented by fucoidin treatment. 7. Taken together, these results indicate that up-regulation of B(1) receptors in the rat paw following IL-1 beta seems to involve the local recruitment of neutrophils and subsequent local TNF-alpha production. The cross-talk between kinins, cytokines and leukocytes implicate B(1) receptors in chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhibition of leukocyte adhesion can reduce myocardial infarct size in animals. This study was designed to define the safety and efficacy of a recombinant, humanized, monoclonal antibody to the CD18 subunit of the beta2 integrin adhesion receptors (rhuMAb CD18), in reducing infarct size in patients treated with a thrombolytic agent. METHODS AND RESULTS The Limitation of Myocardial Infarction following Thrombolysis in Acute Myocardial Infarction Study (LIMIT AMI) was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study conducted in 60 centers in the United States and Canada. A total of 394 subjects who presented within 12 hours of symptom onset with ECG findings (ST-segment elevation) consistent with AMI were treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and were also given an intravenous bolus of 0.5 or 2.0 mg/kg rhuMAb CD18 or placebo. Coronary angiography was performed at 90 minutes, 12-lead ECGs were obtained at baseline, 90, and 180 minutes, and resting sestamibi scans were performed at >/=120 hours. Adjunctive angioplasty and use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antiplatelet agents at the time of angiography were discretionary. There were no treatment effects on coronary blood flow, infarct size, or the rate of ECG ST-segment elevation resolution, despite the expected induction of peripheral leukocytosis. A slight trend toward an increase in bacterial infections was observed with rhuMAb CD18 (P=0.33). CONCLUSIONS RhuMAb CD18 was well tolerated but not effective in modifying cardiac end points.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to draw attention to the growing list of pathophysiological phenomena occurring in blood, the vessel wall and cardiac tissue during myocardial infarction. A further aim is to point to the complexity of factors, contributing to cardiac dysfunction and the implications for therapy, aimed at limiting myocardial cell death. Not all pathophysiological mechanisms have been elucidated yet, indicating the necessity for further research in this area. In addition we describe interventions which have shown promise in animal studies, those which may show promise in humans, and those which are accepted as therapies of choice.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. In excess, ROS and their byproducts that are capable of causing oxidative damage may be cytotoxic to cells. However, it is now well established that moderate amounts of ROS play a role in signal transduction processes such as cell growth and posttranslational modification of proteins. Oxidants, antioxidants, and other determinants of the intracellular reduction-oxidation (redox) state play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. Recent insights into the etiology and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis suggest that this disease may be viewed as an inflammatory disease linked to an abnormality in oxidation-mediated signals in the vasculature. In this review, we summarize the evidence supporting the notion that oxidative stress and the production of ROS function as physiological regulators of vascular gene expression mediated via specific redox-sensitive signal transduction pathways and transcriptional regulatory networks. Elucidating, at the molecular level, the regulatory processes involved in redox-sensitive vascular gene expression represents a foundation not only for understanding the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and other inflammatory diseases but also for the development of novel therapeutic treatment strategies.

Abstract
Most, if not all, chemokines bind to seven transmembrane spanning G protein-coupled receptors and activate cellular migration. Stimulated chemokine expression is essential for directing leukocyte emigration from the circulation into sites of inflammation and tissue damage. In contrast, constitutive chemokine expression plays a role in the development of lymphoid cells, organs, and tissues. The present review examines rheumatoid arthritis and transplantation rejection as two examples of pathological conditions where chemokine directed leukocyte infiltration aids in the pathogenesis of the disease. We further discuss insights into leukocyte trafficking gained by chemokine and chemokine receptor transgenic and null mutant mice.

Abstract
The present study has investigated the therapeutic potential of a type 4 phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor, rolipram, in experimental lung injury. Acute lung injury was induced in the mouse by combined treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 mg/kg, i.v.) and zymosan (3 mg/kg, i.v.), and assessed using extravascular albumin accumulation; neutrophil sequestration in pulmonary capillaries was also measured. The results show that pretreatment with rolipram (5 mg/kg, i.p.) was protective against the induction of lung injury by combined LPS and zymosan; extravascular albumin accumulation was reduced by 89% and neutrophil sequestration in lung tissue, as assessed by lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was reduced by 75%. Pretreatment with rolipram also attenuated increases in serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) levels induced by LPS and zymosan treatment, measured after 2.5 h. The role of endogenous TNFalpha in the induction of lung injury was therefore assessed. Blockade of endogenous TNFalpha by treatment with the soluble receptor p55-IgG fusion protein or an anti-murine TNFalpha monoclonal antibody, TN3. 19.12, had no protective effect against LPS and zymosan-induced lung injury. This suggests that there is a disassociation between TNFalpha production and the induction of injury in this model. Administration of rolipram after LPS and before zymosan treatment obliterated the increase in pulmonary vascular permeability, but its effect on sequestration of neutrophils in pulmonary microvessels, as measured by MPO, was less marked. The results of the present study suggest that use of agents such as rolipram that inhibit PDE4 may have a therapeutic role in treatment of acute lung injury, since we have shown that it is effective in attenuation of neutrophil activation even after sequestration. However, its effect appears to be independent of TNFalpha inhibition.

Abstract
We have previously described a model of acute lung injury in the mouse in which intravenous administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in a marked sequestration of neutrophils in the pulmonary microvasculature, although this by itself was not sufficient to induce injury. If the sequestered neutrophils were exposed to zymosan, then a striking increase in pulmonary vascular permeability to albumin was found, suggesting that sequestered neutrophils may produce one or more mediators capable of acting directly on the capillary endothelium. Because activated neutrophils are known to release platelet-activating factor (PAF), we hypothesized that PAF produced locally within the pulmonary capillaries may be the mediator involved. Treatment of mice with the PAF antagonist UK-74,505 prior to administration of zymosan alone or combined LPS and zymosan resulted in a substantial attenuation of lung injury, as measured by the accumulation of extravascular 125I-labeled human serum albumin. UK-74,505 had no effect on neutrophil sequestration as measured by myeloperoxidase activity in whole lung tissue and as assessed by light microscopy. Administration of UK-74,505 after LPS, but before zymosan, was also effective at inhibiting lung injury but again, neutrophil sequestration was unaffected. In contrast, UK-74,505 had no effect on cobra venom factor-induced lung injury and neutrophil sequestration. These data suggest that PAF production is involved in the increases in pulmonary vascular permeability, but not in the sequestration of neutrophils, induced by zymosan alone or by combined LPS and zymosan treatment. Early treatment with PAF antagonists may be beneficial in preventing the development of acute lung injury in humans.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) lung injury occurs after various clinical procedures, including cardiopulmonary bypass. It is not clear whether endogenous nitric oxide (NO) is protective or injurious in lungs subjected to IR. Thus, in this study we examined the contribution of endogenous NO to IR injury in isolated, blood-perfused rat lungs. Lungs of male Wistar rats (300 g) were subjected to 30 min ischemia and 180 min reperfusion (I30R180). Lungs were sampled for inducible nitric oxide synthase (i-NOS) mRNA expression (each n = 3) and NOS enzyme activity (each n = 4) at different time points. NOS inhibitors NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (10[-4] M) and aminoguanidine (10[-4] M) were used to study the contribution of NO to IR injury in lungs subjected to I30R30 and I30R180. The contribution of i-NOS to IR lung injury was studied by inducing i-NOS enzyme with Salmonella lipopolysaccharide, followed by I30R30. We found that ischemia-reperfusion alone can upregulate i-NOS mRNA and i-NOS enzyme activity (p < 0.05, ANOVA), but downregulate constitutive NOS enzyme activity over 180 min reperfusion. Endogenously produced NO is protective against lung injury in I30R180 in normal rats and lung injury in I30R30 in septic rats. NO is also pivotal in maintaining pulmonary vascular homeostasis in septic rat lungs undergoing IR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate expression of adhesion molecules on neutrophils and monocytes throughout the acute phase of myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND Neutrophil and monocyte counts increase within days from onset of acute myocardial infarction. Because leukocytes are recruited to the involved myocardial region, we postulated that these activated cells would display an increased expression of adhesion molecules necessary for effective endothelial transmigration. METHODS We measured the expression of neutrophil and monocyte lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), Mac-1, very late after activation antigen-4 (VLA-4) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) by flow cytometry throughout the acute phase of acute myocardial infarction in 25 patients and 10 age-matched control subjects. RESULTS Expression of Mac-1 on neutrophils increased significantly, whereas no expression of VLA-4 and ICAM-1 was detected. The expression of LFA-1, Mac-1, VLA-4 and ICAM-1 on the monocyte cell membrane in patients with an acute myocardial infarction was increased compared with that in control subjects by 22% (on day 7), 67%, 13% and 44% (all on day 4), respectively (all p < 0.001). Elevated density of monocyte-specific CD14 in the AMI versus the control group was also shown (30%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Increased expression of neutrophil and monocyte adhesion molecules may contribute to their adhesion to endothelium in the ischemic territory. This adhesion could feasibly precipitate vasoconstriction or add a local thrombotic effect due to tissue factor expression secondary to Mac-1 engagement. In addition, the manifestation of increased density of LFA-1 and Mac-1 by activated leukocytes with monocytes also expressing ICAM-1 suggests that leukocytes may form microaggregates that could cause microvascular plugging. This mechanism may facilitate the occurrence of the "no-reflow" phenomenon or slow coronary filling after acute myocardial infarction.

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
Hypoxia and reoxygenation are principal components of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion and have distinctive effects on the tissue. Both conditions have been associated with inflammation, necrosis, apoptosis, and myocardial infarction. Using a cell culture model of ischemia and reperfusion in which cardiac myocytes were exposed to cycles of hypoxia and reoxygenation, we report here that reoxygenation, but not hypoxia alone, caused sustained approximately 10-fold increases in phosphorylation of the amino-terminal domain of the c-jun transcription factor. The activation was similar to treatments with anisomycin or okadaic acid and correlated with the hypoxia-mediated depression of intracellular glutathione. Reoxygenation-induced c-Jun kinase activity was reduced by preincubating myocytes during the hypoxia phase with the spin-trap agent alpha-phenyl N-tert-butylnitrone or with N-acetylcysteine. The kinase activation was also inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein but not by other protein kinase inhibitors. These results implicate unquenched reactive oxygen intermediates as the stimulus that initiates a kinase pathway involving the stress-activated protein kinases (JNKs/SAPKs) in reoxygenated cardiac myocytes.

Abstract
Lower torso revascularisation following ischaemia results in a systemic inflammatory response. Endothelial barrier function is disrupted by neutrophil-derived proteases and oxidants. Taurine, an amino acid found in large quantities in neutrophils, is a powerful endogeneous anti-oxidant. The aims of this study were to investigate the systemic effects of reperfusion following lower limb revascularisation and to evaluate the role of taurine administration in preventing this injury. A rat model of aortic occlusion (30 min) followed by 2 h of reperfusion was used. Animals were randomised to one of three groups (n = 10 per group): control; ischaemia reperfusion untreated (IR) and taurine-treated. Taurine (4% solution) was administrated orally for 48 h prior to the experiment. Neutrophil infiltration and microvascular permeability were assessed by measuring tissue myeloperoxidase activity and wet/dry weights respectively in lung, liver, kidney, and in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Statistical analysis was by means of analysis of variance (ANOVA). Reperfusion resulted in pulmonary and renal microvascular injury as assessed by organ oedema. Hepatic tissue, skeletal and cardiac muscle were unaffected by lower limb revascularisation. Taurine was effective in preventing neutrophil-mediated pulmonary but not renal microvascular injury. These data suggest that, whilst reperfusion-induced pulmonary injury is predominantly neutrophil-mediated, agents other than neutrophil-derived oxidative metabolites, capable of independently causing organ injury through direct endothelial damage, are produced during reperfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibodies to selected neutrophil or endothelial cell adhesion molecules decrease myocardial infarct size in vivo. Platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is an immunoglobulin gene superfamily member expressed constitutively on neutrophils and endothelium. F(ab')2 fragments of antibody against PECAM-1 inhibit transendothelial migration of neutrophils in several in vivo models of acute inflammation. Therefore, we examined the effect of F(ab')2 fragments of anti-PECAM-1 antibody in a rat model of myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS F(ab')2 fragments of the anti-PECAM-1 antibody SEW16 and control normal rabbit IgG (NRIgG) were administered at 5 mg/kg to male Wistar rats, and the rats were subjected to a 30-minute coronary artery occlusion followed by 2 hours of reperfusion. At the completion of each experiment, the area at risk, infarct size (IS), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were determined. Compared with untreated (n = 8; IS, 57 +/- 5%) or NRIgG-treated (n = 10; IS, 62 +/- 3%) control rats, SEW16-treated rats (n = 15; IS, 28.5 +/- 4%) displayed a 54% decrease in myocardial infarct size (P < .001). Hemodynamic parameters, leukocyte counts, total left ventricular weight, and area-at-risk weights did not differ significantly between the treatment groups. However, measurement of MPO activity revealed that neutrophil accumulation was reduced 83% (NRIgG, 975 +/- 55 mU/g; SEW16, 167 +/- 62 mU/g). CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that blocking PECAM-1 exerts a significant protective effect in a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury via blockade of neutrophil accumulation in the myocardium.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intra-arterial infusion of low doses of monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) against adhesion molecules (the neutrophil CD18 integrins, and the endothelial adhesion molecule, ICAM-1) on reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle. The rabbit rectus femoris muscle was rendered ischaemic for 2 1/2 hours. Mabs were infused (approximately 0.5 mg/kg) commencing 20 minutes before the end of ischaemia and for the first hour of reperfusion. 24 hours after reperfusion, the muscle was assessed for viability, oedema and neutrophil infiltration (myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels). The results of the viability assessment (control--20.9 (0-47.5)% [median (range)], anti-CD18--30.5 (3.0-89.4)%, anti-ICAM-1--27.9 (7.8-78.1)% and anti-CD18 combined with anti-ICAM-1--45.2 (15.6-92.3)%) showed no significant differences between groups, while analysis of MPO in the postischaemic muscle showed that the anti-ICAM-1 Mab reduced neutrophil infiltration significantly. Furthermore, in contralateral unoperated muscles MPO levels were elevated 24 hours after ischaemia in the contralateral muscle. This increased neutrophil infiltration was prevented by pretreatment with anti-ICAM-1. These results suggest that low doses of anti-CD18 and anti-ICAM-1 Mabs do not reduce reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle but may help to protect against systemic effects of severe trauma. The evidence suggests that reperfusion injury in this skeletal muscle model may be largely independent of neutrophil involvement.

Abstract
Ischaemia induces an acute inflammatory response in myocardial tissue with an early phase of neutrophil accumulation, which is accelerated by reperfusion. In experimental models, interventions that deplete neutrophils or inhibit their function cause a significant reduction in myocardial infarct size. These cells, therefore, may exacerbate tissue injury through the release of free radicals and proteolytic enzymes. Neutrophil recruitment depends on the presence of inflammatory mediators. Leukotriene B4, interleukin 8 and the complement fragment C5a have been implicated in this process. Studies using antibodies to the selectin, integrin and immunoglobulin superfamily adhesion molecules indicate that they also have a crucial role in myocardial neutrophil recruitment.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to detail the roles played by the cellular adhesion molecules (CAM) in inflammatory and immunological reactions relevant to surgery. The interactions between leucocytes and endothelial cells which are mediated by CAM are central to the development of ischaemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) as occurs when blood flow is restored after an ischaemic period; for example, following revascularization of replanted digits and microvascular tissue transfers, angioplasty and tourniquet procedures. Cellular adhesion molecules are also important in wound healing and other inflammatory processes. In addition, the immunological response to organ allograft transplantation is mediated by cellular interactions mediated by CAM. This review details the functions and regulation of the various CAM involved in inflammation and allograft rejection and summarizes the results of previous surgical studies in which various techniques have been used to block the interactions mediated by CAM in an attempt to improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of F(ab')2 fragments of anti-CD11b and anti-CD18 monoclonal antibodies on ischemic cell damage in the rat when administered upon reperfusion and at 2 h of reperfusion after transient (2 h) middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. 2 h of MCA occlusion was induced by intraluminal insertion of a monofilament. The following groups of animals were investigated. Anti-CD11b groups (n = 15): an intact anti-CD11b antibody (1B6c) and an anti-CD11b F(ab')2 fragment of 1B6c were infused upon reperfusion (4 mg/kg i.v.). Anti-CD18 group (n = 8): an anti-CD18 F(ab')2 fragment of CL26 was infused upon reperfusion (2 mg/kg i.v.), and at 22 h of reperfusion (1 mg/kg i.v.). Anti-CD11b delayed group (n = 9): an anti-CD11b F(ab')2 fragment of 1B6c was infused at 2 h of reperfusion (4 mg/kg i.v.), and at 22 h after reperfusion (2 mg/kg i.v.). Control groups (n = 18): an isotype-matched control antibody (mouse IgG1) was administered: (a) upon reperfusion (n = 13), and (b) at 2 h and 22 h of reperfusion (n = 5). Rats were sacrificed at 7 days of reperfusion. In a separate population of rats subjected to 2 h of MCA occlusion (n = 9), brain myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured at 46 h of reperfusion. The vehicle groups had infarct volumes of 35.21 +/- 2.82% to 41.39 +/- 2.73% of the contralateral hemisphere, respectively. Infarct volume was significantly reduced after treatment with: the intact anti-CD11b antibody upon reperfusion (19.0 +/- 6.6%) (P < 0.05), the fragments of mAbs of anti-CD11b administered upon reperfusion (19.7 +/- 2.7%) (P < 0.05), and at 2 h of reperfusion (22.2 +/- 4.8%) (P < 0.05), and anti-CD18 administered upon reperfusion (20.4 +/- 4.8%) (P < 0.05). Anti-CD11b treatment significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited the increase of MPO activity in the ischemic hemisphere. Our data demonstrate that anti-CD11b and anti-CD18 mAb fragments significantly reduce infarct volume and inhibit the increase of MPO activity in the ischemic lesion; administration of anti-CD11b mAb fragment even at 2 h of reperfusion significantly reduces infarct volume. These data support importance of the beta 2 integrin CD11b/CD18 in ischemia/reperfusion injury and indicate that the therapeutic window for intervention to reduce ischemic cell damage in this model is at least 4 h from the onset of MCA occlusion.

Abstract
The neutrophil chemoattractants generated in a model of myocardial infarction in the anesthetized rabbit were investigated. Coronary artery occlusion was followed by reperfusion for periods from 5 min to 4.5 h. Extracts of myocardial tissue in normal and post-ischemic zones were tested for C5a and interleukin-8 (IL-8) using specific radioimmunoassays. In the post-ischemic zone, immunoreactive C5a was detected within 5 min and rose progressively to reach a plateau at 3-4.5 h. In contrast, immunoreactive IL-8 concentrations rose after a delay and were highest at the last time point tested, 4.5 h. Myeloperoxidase activity levels, an index of neutrophil accumulation, rose progressively as the concentrations of chemoattractants increased. Using cation exchange and reversed phase HPLC, immunoreactive C5a and IL-8 co-eluted with authentic standards. Fractions taken at the C5a and IL-8 peaks from reversed phase HPLC exhibited neutrophil aggregating activity which was neutralized by the respective antibody used in the radioimmunoassays. Depletion of circulating neutrophils virtually abolished immunoreactive IL-8 in the post-ischemic myocardial tissue. These observations suggest a sequential release of chemoattractants: the first, C5a is generated in interstitial fluid, followed by IL-8 generated by infiltrating neutrophils. Thus, over the time period studied, IL-8 generation would be expected to be indirectly dependent on C5a production.
