Abstract
The recent dramatic advances in preventing "initial xenograft dysfunction" in pig-to-non-human primate heart transplantation achieved by minimizing ischemia suggests that ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) plays an important role in cardiac xenotransplantation. Here we review the molecular, cellular, and immune mechanisms that characterize IRI and associated "primary graft dysfunction" in allotransplantation and consider how they correspond with "xeno-associated" injury mechanisms. Based on this analysis, we describe potential genetic modifications as well as novel technical strategies that may minimize IRI for heart and other organ xenografts and which could facilitate safe and effective clinical xenotransplantation.

The adaptive immune response in cardiac arrest resuscitation induced ischemia reperfusion renal injury. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 27:15.

Abstract
Background The present study aims to investigate, immunohistochemically, the role of the adaptive immune response in cardiac arrest/resuscitation-induced ischemia–reperfusion renal injury (IRI), namely to assess the presence of lymphocytes in renal tissue samples and the connection between the extent of the damage and the concentration of the lymphocytes by comparing the kidneys of non resuscitated swine with the kidneys of resuscitated swine. Methods Twenty four swine underwent cardiac arrest (CA) via a pacemaker wire. After 7 min, without any intervention, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, CPR, was commenced. Five min after CPR was commenced advanced life-support, ALS. Animals were divided into resuscitated animals and non resuscitated animals. Tissue samples obtained from the two groups for immunohistological study aiming to detect T-cells, B-cells and plasma cells using CD3 + , CD20 + , and CD138 + antibodies. Results There seems to be a strong concentration of T lymphocytes in the kidney tissues after ischemia of both non-resuscitated and resuscitated swine. B lymphocytes, also, appear to have infiltrated the ischemic kidneys of both animal groups; nevertheless, the contribution of T lymphocytes to the induction of injury remains greater. There is no strong evidence of correlation between the plasma cells and the damage. Conclusion The adaptive immune response seems to have a strong association with kidney injury and acute tubular necrosis after cardiac arrest/ resuscitation-induced ischemia–reperfusion. However, the extent to which the adaptive immune cells are involved in the induction of renal injury remains uncertain and there are many questions about the mechanism of function of these cells, the answers of which require further studies.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are known to be the most fatal diseases worldwide. Ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is at the centre of the pathology of the most common cardiovascular diseases. According to the World Health Organization estimates, ischaemic heart disease is the leading global cause of death, causing more than 9 million deaths in 2016. After cardiovascular events, thrombolysis, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or coronary bypass surgery are applied as treatment. However, after restoring coronary blood flow, myocardial I/R injury may occur. It is known that this damage occurs due to many pathophysiological mechanisms, especially increasing reactive oxygen types. Besides causing cardiomyocyte death through multiple mechanisms, it may be an important reason for affecting other cell types such as platelets, fibroblasts, endothelial and smooth muscle cells and immune cells. Also, polymorphonuclear leukocytes are associated with myocardial I/R damage during reperfusion. This damage may be insufficient in patients with co-morbidity, as it is demonstrated that it can be prevented by various endogenous antioxidant systems. In this context, the resulting data suggest that optimal cardioprotection may require a combination of additional or synergistic multi-target treatments. In this review, we discussed the pathophysiology, experimental models, biomarkers, treatment and its relationship with genetics in myocardial I/R injury. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: This review summarized current information on myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury (pathophysiology, experimental models, biomarkers, genetics and pharmacological therapy) for researchers and reveals guiding data for researchers, especially in the field of cardiovascular system and pharmacology.

Abstract
Ischemic disorders, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, are the most common causes of debilitating disease and death in westernized cultures. The extent of tissue injury relates directly to the extent of blood flow reduction and to the length of the ischemic period, which influence the levels to which cellular ATP and intracellular pH are reduced. By impairing ATPase-dependent ion transport, ischemia causes intracellular and mitochondrial calcium levels to increase (calcium overload). Cell volume regulatory mechanisms are also disrupted by the lack of ATP, which can induce lysis of organelle and plasma membranes. Reperfusion, although required to salvage oxygen-starved tissues, produces paradoxical tissue responses that fuel the production of reactive oxygen species (oxygen paradox), sequestration of proinflammatory immunocytes in ischemic tissues, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and development of postischemic capillary no-reflow, which amplify tissue injury. These pathologic events culminate in opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores as a common end-effector of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced cell lysis and death. Emerging concepts include the influence of the intestinal microbiome, fetal programming, epigenetic changes, and microparticles in the pathogenesis of I/R. The overall goal of this review is to describe these and other mechanisms that contribute to I/R injury. Because so many different deleterious events participate in I/R, it is clear that therapeutic approaches will be effective only when multiple pathologic processes are targeted. In addition, the translational significance of I/R research will be enhanced by much wider use of animal models that incorporate the complicating effects of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine if the intravascular delivery of mesenchymal stem cells improves wound healing and blood perfusion to postischemic cutaneous flap tissues. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled study. METHODS A murine model of a cutaneous flap was created based on the inferior epigastric vessels. Mice (n = 14) underwent 3.5 hours of ischemia followed by reperfusion. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) 1 × 10(6) were injected intravenously. Wound healing was then assessed measuring percent flap necrosis, flap perfusion, and tensile strength of the flap after a period of 14 days. Localization of BMSCs was determined with radiolabeled and fluorescent labeled BMSCs. RESULTS Postischemic cutaneous flap tissues treated with BMSCs demonstrated significantly less necrosis than control flaps (P <0.01). Beginning on postoperative day 5, BMSC-treated flaps demonstrated greater blood perfusion than untreated flaps (P <0.01). Tensile strength of BMSC-treated cutaneous flaps was significantly higher (P <0.01), with a mean strength of 283.4 ± 28.4 N/m than control flaps with a mean of 122.4 ± 23.5 N/m. Radiolabeled BMSCs localized to postischemic flaps compared to untreated tissues (P = 0.001). Fluorescent microscopy revealed incorporation of BMSCs into endothelial and epithelial tissues of postischemic flaps. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the intravascular delivery of BMSCs increases wound healing and promotes flap survival following ischemia-reperfusion injury of cutaneous tissue flaps.

Abstract
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic shock results in systemic activation of the immune system and leads to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Lymphocytes have been identified as critical mediators of the early innate immune response to ischemia-reperfusion injury, and immunomodulation of lymphocytes may prevent secondary immunologic injury in surgical and trauma patients. METHODS Yorkshire swine were anesthetized and underwent a grade III liver injury with uncontrolled hemorrhage to induce hemorrhagic shock. Experimental groups were treated with a lymphocyte depletional agent, porcine polyclonal anti-thymocyte globulin (PATG) (n = 8) and compared to a vehicle control group (n = 9). Animals were observed over a 3 day survival period. Circulating lymphocytes were examined with FACS analysis for CD3/CD4/CD8, and central lymphocytes with mesenteric lymph node and spleen staining for CD3. Circulating and lung tissue16 infiltrating neutrophils were measured. Circulating CD3 lymphocytes in the blood and in central lymphoid organs (spleen/lymph node) were stained and evaluated using FACS analysis. Immune-related gene expression from liver tissue was quantified using RT-PCR. RESULTS The overall survival was 22% (2/9) in the control and 75% (6/8) in the PATG groups, p = 0.09; during the reperfusion period (following hemorrhage) survival was 25% (2/8) in the control and 100% (6/6) in the PATG groups, p = 0.008. Mean blood loss and hemodynamic profiles were not significantly different between the experimental and control groups. Circulating CD3+CD4+ lymphocytes were significantly depleted in the PATG group compared to control. Lymphocyte depletion in the setting of hemorrhagic shock also significantly decreased circulating and lung tissue infiltrating neutrophils, and decreased expression of liver ischemia gene expression. CONCLUSIONS Lymphocyte manipulation with a depletional (PATG) strategy improves reperfusion survival in experimental hemorrhagic shock using a porcine liver injury model. This proof of principle study paves the way for further development of immunomodulation approaches to ameliorate secondary immune injury following hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
The inflammatory response to severe traumatic injury results in significant morbidity and mortality. Lymphocytes have recently been identified as critical mediators of the early innate immune response to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Experimental manipulation of lymphocytes following hemorrhagic shock may prevent secondary immunologic injury in surgical and trauma patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate the lymphocyte sequestration agent FTY720 as an immunomodulator following experimental hemorrhagic shock in a swine liver injury model. Yorkshire swine were anesthetized and underwent a grade III liver injury with uncontrolled hemorrhage to induce hemorrhagic shock. Experimental groups were treated with a lymphocyte sequestration agent, FTY720, (n = 9) and compared to a vehicle control group (n = 9). Animals were observed over a 3 day survival period after hemorrhage. Circulating total leukocyte and neutrophil counts were measured. Central lymphocytes were evaluated with mesenteric lymph node and spleen immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining for CD3. Lung tissue infiltrating neutrophils were analyzed with myeloperoxidase (MPO) IHC staining. Relevant immune-related gene expression from liver tissue was quantified using RT-PCR. The overall survival was 22.2% in the vehicle control and 66.7% in the FTY720 groups (p = 0.081), and reperfusion survival (period after hemorrhage) was 25% in the vehicle control and 75% in the FTY720 groups (p = 0.047). CD3+ lymphocytes were significantly increased in mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen in the FTY720 group compared to vehicle control, indicating central lymphocyte sequestration. Lymphocyte disruption significantly decreased circulating and lung tissue infiltrating neutrophils, and decreased expression of liver immune-related gene expression in the FTY720 treated group. There were no observed infectious or wound healing complications. Lymphocyte sequestration with FTY720 improves survival in experimental hemorrhagic shock using a porcine liver injury model. These results support a novel and clinically relevant lymphocyte immunomodulation strategy to ameliorate secondary immune injury in hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Disturbances of blood flow upon vascular occlusions and spasms result in hypoxia and acidosis, while its subsequent restoration leads to reoxygenation and pH normalization (re-alkalization) in ischemic sites of the vascular bed. The effect of hypoxia/reoxygenation on activation and stimulation of apoptosis in cultured human endothelial cells was studied. The cells were subjected to hypoxia (2% O2, 5% CO2, 93% N(2)) for 24 h followed by reoxygenation (21% O2, 5% CO2, 74% N(2)) for 5 h. Reoxygenation was carried out at different pH-6.4 (preservation of acidosis after hypoxia), 7.0, and 7.4 (partial and complete re-alkalization, respectively). Hypoxia only slightly (by approximately 30%) increased the cell adhesion molecule ICAM-1 content on the cell surface, whereas reoxygenation more than doubled its expression. The reoxygenation effect depended on the medium acidity, and ICAM-1 increase was more pronounced at pH 7.0 compared to that at pH 6.4 and 7.4. Neither hypoxia nor reoxygenation induced expression of two other cell adhesion molecules, VCAM and E-selectin. Incubation of cells under hypoxic conditions but not reoxygenation stimulated secretion of von Willebrand factor and increased its concentration in the culture medium by more than 4 times. The percentage of cells containing apoptosis marker, activated caspase-3, was increased by approximately 1.5 times upon hypoxia as well as hypoxia/reoxygenation. Maximal values were achieved when reoxygenation was performed at pH 7.0. These data show that hypoxia/reoxygenation stimulate pro-inflammatory activation (ICAM-1 expression) and apoptosis (caspase-3 activation) of endothelial cells, and the extracellular pH influences both processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to elucidate the early involvement of T lymphocytes in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. METHODS Athymic nude rats (F344/N_Jcl-nu) and control F344/Jcl were subjected to 45 min unilateral renal ischemia. To determine whether the observed differences might be derived from the T lymphocyte presence, T lymphocytes from the spleens of F344/Jcl were injected into F344/N_Jcl-nu via tail vein at the initiation of reperfusion. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed for CD3, the proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), vimentin, and E-cadherin. T lymphocytes were obtained from the green fluorescent protein transgenic (GFP) rats, and transplanted to F344/N_Jcl-nu 10 min before reperfusion. The animals were euthanized 15 min after reperfusion. RESULTS F344/N_Jcl-nu showed less retention of both Cr and BUN at 24 and 48 h after reperfusion, compared with F344/Jcl. F344/N_Jcl-nu received T lymphocyte transplantation showed significantly higher retention of both Cr and BUN 24, 48, and 72 h after reperfusion than those without T lymphocyte. A rapid infiltration of T lymphocytes into proximal tubular epithelial cells and tubular lumen was observed using T lymphocytes with green fluorescent protein. In contrast, T lymphocytes were observed with much less frequency 24 h after ischemia. The number of PCNA-positive proximal tubular cells 24 h after the initiation of reperfusion was significantly smaller in the T lymphocyte transplantation group compared with the non-transplantation group. The vimentin positivity and cytoplasmic staining of E-cadherin were also more prominent in the transplantation group. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate a rapid renal T lymphocyte infiltration, which propagate renal functional deterioration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leucocytes are a pivotal component of the inflammatory cascade that results in tissue injury in a large group of disorders. Free radical production and endothelial activation promote leucocyte-endothelium interactions via endothelial expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) which augment these processes, particularly in the setting of reperfusion injury. Propofol has antioxidant properties which may attenuate the increased expression of these molecules that is observed. METHODS Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells were exposed to 20 h of hypoxia, then returned to normoxic conditions. Cells were treated with saline, Diprivan 5 microg mL(-1) or propofol 5 microg mL(-1), for 4 h after reoxygenation and were examined for ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression. RESULTS Hypoxia did not increase the expression of ICAM-1/VCAM-1. ICAM-1 expression peaked 12 h after reoxygenation (21.75(0.6) vs. 9.6(1.3), P = 0.02). Propofol, but not Diprivan, prevented this increase (8.2(2.9) vs. 21.75(0.6), P = 0.009). VCAM-1 expression peaked 24 h after reoxygenation (9.8(0.9) vs. 6.6(0.6), P = 0.03). Propofol and Diprivan prevented this increase, with no difference between the two treatments observed (4.3(0.3) and 6.4(0.5) vs. 9.8(0.9), P = 0.001, 0.02, respectively). CONCLUSION These effects are likely to be attributable to the antioxidant properties of propofol, and suggest that propofol may have a protective role in disorders where free radical mediated injury promotes leucocyte-endothelium adhesive interactions.

AIM: To investigate the role of P-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and dendritic cells (DCs) in liver/kidney of rats with hepatic/renal ischemia-reperfusion injury and the preventive effect of anti-P-selectin lectin-EGF domain monoclonal antibody (anti-PsL-EGFmAb) on the injury.
METHODS: Rat models of hepatic and renal ischemia-reperfusion were established. The rats were then divided into two groups, one group treated with anti-PsL-EGFmAb (n = 20) and control treated with saline (n = 20). Both groups were subdivided into four groups according to reperfusion time (1, 3, 6 and 24 h). The sham-operated group (n = 5) served as a control group. DCs were observed by the microscopic image method, while P-selectin and ICAM-1 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS: P-selectin increased significantly in hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells 1 h after ischemia-reperfusion, and the expression of ICAM-1 was up-regulated in hepatic sinusoid and renal vessels after 6 h. CD1a+CD80+DCs gradually increased in hepatic sinusoidal endothelium and renal tubules and interstitium 1 h after ischemia-reperfusion, and there was the most number of DCs in 24-h group. The localization of DCs was associated with rat hepatic/renal function. These changes became less significant in rats treated with anti-PsL-EGFmAb.
CONCLUSION: DCs play an important role in immune pathogenesis of hepatic/renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Anti-PsL-EGFmAb may regulate and inhibit local DC immigration and accumulation in liver/kidney.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is now recognized as a combination of clinical syndromes that are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The primary pathophysiology of PAOD is impaired perfusion to the lower extremity. Effective pharmacotherapy designed to increase perfusion in PAOD is lacking, and revascularization options are suboptimal. New and more efficacious therapies that improve blood flow are definitely needed, and thus designing, describing, and validating these new therapies in preclinical PAOD models will be essential. This study describes the various preclinical PAOD models presently in use, correlates the models to human PAOD, and reviews the available end points that can be used to detect a response to therapy.

Abstract
Our studies show that ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in the isolated rat lung causes retention of lymphocytes, which is associated with increased microvascular permeability, as determined by quantitative measurement of the microvascular filtration coefficient (K(f,c)). Immunoneutralization of either CD40 or CD40L, cell surface proteins important in lymphocyte-endothelial cell proinflammatory events, results in significantly lower postischemic K(f,c) values. Antagonism of CD40-CD40L signaling also results in attenuation of I/R-elicited macrophage inflammatory protein-2 production. Rat lymphocytes activated ex vivo with phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate increased K(f,c) in isolated lungs independently of I/R, and this increase was prevented by pretreating lungs with anti-CD40. In addition to lymphocyte involvement via CD40-CD40L interactions, our studies also show that I/R injury is potentiated by antagonism of IL-10 produced locally within the postischemic lung, whereas exogenous, rat recombinant IL-10 provided protection against I/R-induced microvascular damage. Thus acute lymphocyte involvement in lung I/R injury involves CD40-CD40L signaling mechanisms, and these events may be influenced by local IL-10 generation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains an important clinical problem that affects both early and later allograft outcome. This study was designed to analyze the role of T cells and CD154-CD40 T- cell costimulation pathway in a mouse liver I/R model. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety minutes of warm ischemia followed by 4 h of reperfusion in wild-type (WT) mice resulted in a significant hepatic damage, as assessed by liver function (serum alanine aminotransferase [sALT] levels), local neutrophil accumulation (myeloperoxidase activity), and histology (Suzuki's score). In contrast, T-cell deficiency (in T-cell deficient [nu/nu] mice), disruption of the CD154 signaling (in knockout [KO] mice), or its blockade in WT recipients (after MR1 monoclonal antibody [mAb] treatment), virtually prevented hepatic I/R insult. Unlike CD154-deficient T cells, adoptive transfer of WT spleen cells fully restored hepatic I/R injury in nu/nu mice. Finally, the improved hepatic function in CD154 KO recipients, WT mice treated with CD154 mAb, or nu/nu mice infused with CD154-deficient cells resulted in consistently enhanced expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a heat-shock protein with cytoprotective functions. CONCLUSION This study confirms the importance of T cells, and documents for the first time the role of CD154 costimulation signals in the mechanism of hepatic I/R injury. We also show that CD154 blockade-mediated cytoprotection results and depends on HO-1 overexpression. Our data provide the rationale for human trials to target CD154-CD40 costimulation in hepatic I/R injury, particularly in the transplant patient.

Abstract
Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by ischemic tissue after ischemia-reperfusion (I/RP) is an important factor that contributes to tissue injury. The small GTPase Rac1 mediates the oxidative burst, and ROS act on signaling pathways involved in expression of inflammatory genes. Because there is evidence implicating monocytes in the pathogenesis of I/RP injury, our objective was to determine the molecular mechanisms that regulate adhesive interactions between monocytes and hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/RO)-exposed cultured endothelial cells (ECs). When U937 cells were perfused over human umbilical vein ECs at 1 dyn/cm2, H (1 h at 1% O2)/RO (13 h) significantly increased the fluxes of rolling and stably adherent U937 cells. Either EC treatment with the antioxidant pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) or infection with AdRac1N17, which results in expression of the dominant-negative form of Rac1, abolished H/RO-induced ROS production, attenuated rolling, and abolished stable adhesion of U937 cells to H/RO-exposed ECs. Infection with AdRac1N17 also abolished H/RO-induced upregulation of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1. In turn, blocking VCAM-1 abolished U937 cell stable adhesion and slightly increased rolling. We concluded that the Rac1-dependent ROS partially regulate rolling and exclusively regulate stable adhesion of monocytic cells to ECs after H/RO and that stable adhesion, but not rolling, is mediated by ROS-induced expression of VCAM-1.

Abstract
Cardiac transplantation is the most successful therapy for refractory heart failure, but clinical transplantation is still confronted with the problems of acute rejection and acute pump failure. The limiting factor in achieving prolonged survival remains cardiac allograft vasculopathy. In recent years it has become apparent that from brain death onward, the cardiac endothelium plays a key role in these acute and chronic events. Brain death is associated with an inflammatory response that primes the endothelium for cumulative injury during the subsequent stages of ischemic cold storage, reperfusion and allorecognition. As a structural and functional interface, the endothelium is the site at which inflammatory cells move from the bloodstream through the vessel wall into the parenchyma. The endothelium interacts with the complement system, the coagulation and inflammatory cascades, circulating leukocytes, the immune system, the smooth muscle in the vessel wall, and the surrounding matrix and cardiomyocytes. A better understanding of its many roles may lead to expansion of our therapeutic possibilities and better outcomes overall. This article reviews the possible roles of the endothelium in relation to cardiac transplantation, and discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities that are available to date.

Abstract
Mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) is a 60-kDa endothelial cell adhesion glycoprotein that regulates lymphocyte trafficking to Peyer's patches and lymph nodes. Although it is widely agreed that MAdCAM-1 induction is involved in chronic gut inflammation, few studies have investigated regulation of MAdCAM-1 expression. We used two endothelial lines [bEND.3 (brain) and SVEC (high endothelium)] to study the signal paths that regulate MAdCAM-1 expression in response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha using RT-PCR, blotting, adhesion, and immunofluorescence. TNF-alpha induced both MAdCAM-1 mRNA and protein in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This induction was tyrosine kinase (TK), p42/44, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B/poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) dependent. Because MAdCAM-1 is regulated via MAPKs, we examined mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK)-1/2 activation in SVEC. We found that MEK-1/2 is activated by TNF-alpha within minutes and is dependent on TK and p42/44 MAPKs. Similarly, TNF-alpha activated NF-kappa B through TK, p42/44, p38 MAPKs, and PARP pathways in SVEC cells. MAdCAM-1 was also shown to be frequently distributed to endothelial junctions both in vitro and in vivo. Cytokines like TNF-alpha stimulate MAdCAM-1 in high endothelium via TK, p38, p42/22 MAPKs, and NF-kappa B/PARP. MAdCAM-1 expression requires NF-kappa B translocation through both direct p42/44 and indirect p38 MAPK pathways in high endothelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced MAdCAM-1 (mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1) expression is associated with the aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease, but little is known about MAdCAM-1: regulation, or how inflammatory bowel disease therapies modulate MAdCAM-1. AIM To examine how agents currently used to treat inflammatory bowel disease affect MAdCAM-1: induced by tnf-alpha in an in vitro model of inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS Endothelial monolayers were pretreated with dexamethasone (DEX): 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), sulfasalazine or interleukin-10: (IL-10: prior to TNF-alpha (20 ng/mL), and MAdCAM-1: measured by Western blotting, RT-PCR, EMSA and lymphocyte adhesion assays. RESULTS MAdCAM-1: was induced dose- and time-dependently by TNF-alpha on endothelial cells. Either dexamethasone or IL-10: reduced TNF-alpha-induced MAdCAM-1: protein, mRNA and lymphocyte adhesion. However, neither 5-ASA, sulfasalazine nor 6-MP blocked MAdCAM-1 induction. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that dexamethasone or IL-10 can exert therapeutic activity in inflammatory bowel disease through MAdCAM-1 inhibition. 5-ASA, sulfasalazine and 6-MP, while beneficial in inflammatory bowel disease, do not directly control MAdCAM-1, and are beneficial through inhibition of other inflammatory processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the intravitreous concentration of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 in diabetic patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and the relationship of VCAM-1 with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Serum and vitreous fluid samples were obtained simultaneously at the onset of vitrectomy from 20 diabetic patients with PDR and 20 nondiabetic control subjects with nonproliferative ocular disease. Both groups were matched by serum levels of VCGM-1 and VEGF. VCAM-1 and VEGF were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistics were determined using the Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's rank correlation test. RESULTS The intravitreous concentration of VCAM-1 was signifcantly elevated in diabetic patients with PDR compared with control subjects (26 ng/ml [19-118] vs. 22 ng/ml [20-47], P < 0.05). A direct correlation between VCAM-1 and total vitreous proteins was detected in diabetic patients (r = 0.64, P = 0.003), but not in control subjects. After adjusting for total intravitreous proteins, VCAM-1 was significantly lower in diabetic patients with PDR than in control subjects (8.2 ng/ml [4-31.4] vs. 43.1 ng/ml [9.7-100], P < 0.001). Intravitreous VEGF concentrations were higher in patients with PDR than in control subjects in absolute terms (1.34 ng/ml [0.16-6.22] vs. 0.009 ng/ml [0.009-0.044], P < 0.0001) and after correcting for total vitreal proteins (0.33 ng/ml [0.01-2.3] vs. 0.013 ng/ml [0.003-0.035], P = 0.0001). Finally, the vitreous ratio of VCAM-1 to proteins correlated with the vitreous ratio of VEGF to proteins in both diabetic patients (r = 0.74, P = 0.001) and control subjects (r = 0.84, P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS The low proportion of VCAM-1 in relation to total vitreal proteins observed in diabetic patients with PDR suggests that VCAM-1 is quenched by diabetic retina. In addition, the direct correlation detected between VCAM-1 and VEGF suggests that cellular adhesion and neovascularization may be linked processes.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to define the influence of postanoxic T-lymphocyte-endothelial cell interactions on anoxia-reoxygenation (A/R)-induced neutrophil-endothelial cell adhesion and cell adhesion molecule (CAM) expression on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVEC monolayers were exposed to 60 minutes of anoxia, followed by 24 hours of reoxygenation, wherein freshly isolated human T lymphocytes were added at 6 hours during reoxygenation. After an additional 18 hours of incubation (ie, total of 24 hours of reoxygenation), the T-cell/endothelial cell (TC/EC) coculture media were collected and added to naive HUVEC monolayers incubated with neutrophils. Although the A/R-conditioned media per se had no effect on neutrophil adhesion, the media from TC/EC cocultures significantly increased the adhesion response. This enhanced adhesive interaction was associated with significant increases in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels in the TC/EC coculture media and was accompanied by a pronounced increase in endothelial E-selectin expression. Treatment of the TC/EC coculture media with anti-TNF-alpha or anti-IL-8 antibodies reduced the media-induced neutrophil adhesion response. The enhanced neutrophil adhesion and the elevated medium levels of TNF-alpha, but not IL-8, were markedly reduced by inserts that prevented direct TC/EC contact and by monoclonal antibodies directed against vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) or very late antigen-4 (VLA-4). Collectively, these findings show that VLA-4-/VCAM-1-mediated interactions between T lymphocytes and postanoxic endothelial cells stimulates TNF-alpha production, which in turn elicits endothelial cell adhesion molecule expression and a corresponding increase in neutrophil adhesion.
