Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is the only inducible adhesion receptor for neutrophils identified in bronchial epithelial cells. We stimulated human airway epithelial cells with various agonists to evaluate whether ICAM-1-independent adhesion mechanisms could be elicited. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulation of cells of the alveolar cell line A549 caused a rapid, significant increase in neutrophil adhesion from 11 ± 3 to 49 ± 7% (SE). A significant increase from 17 ± 4 to 39 ± 6% was also observed for neutrophil adhesion to PMA-stimulated human bronchial epithelial cells in primary culture. Although ICAM-1 expression was upregulated by PMA at late time points, it was not affected at 10 min when neutrophil adhesion was already clearly enhanced. Antibodies to ICAM-1 had no effect on neutrophil adhesion. In contrast, antibodies to the leukocyte integrin β-chain CD18 totally inhibited the adhesion of neutrophils to PMA-stimulated epithelial cells. These results demonstrate that PMA stimulation of human airway epithelial cells causes an increase in neutrophil adhesion that is not dependent on ICAM-1 upregulation.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease, reperfusion injury, and inflammatory reactions. Although neutrophils have been shown to primarily mediate PAF-induced microvascular dysfunction, the vasoactive effect of PAF and its neutrophil-dependent mechanism have not been directly and systematically studied in coronary resistance vessels. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of PAF on coronary arteriolar function and neutrophil dynamics using an isolated and perfused microvessel preparation. Topical application of PAF to the vessels induced a dose-dependent decrease in the diameter but an increase in the apparent permeability coefficient of albumin. Disruption of the endothelium abolished the vasomotor response to PAF, and perfusion of neutrophils significantly augmented PAF-induced changes in vasomotor tone and permeability. Furthermore, the interaction between neutrophils and the endothelium was studied in the intact perfused coronary arterioles. Under control conditions, there were no adherent neutrophils observed in the vessels at varied intraluminal flow velocities. However, administration of PAF caused neutrophil adhesion to the endothelium of coronary arterioles at low flow velocities. Western blot analysis indicated that PAF upregulated the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in cultured coronary microvascular endothelial cells. Taken together, the results suggest that 1) PAF induces vasoconstriction and hyperpermeability in coronary arterioles via an endothelium-dependent and neutrophil-mediated mechanism, and 2) PAF is able to stimulate neutrophil adhesion in coronary arterioles under a condition of low flow rate.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating progressive disease associated with a high mortality despite current vasodilator therapies. Perivascular inflammation and high levels of neutrophil elastase are thought to play a pivotal role in the adverse vascular remodeling of small pulmonary arteries that causes PAH. Despite this, the function of neutrophils and in particular, their interaction with the pulmonary arterial endothelium has not been studied in PAH. We hypothesized that neutrophil functions such as adhesion to a substratum or to endothelial cells and transmigration across a substratum or trans-endothelial migration (TEM) are abnormal in PAH on the basis of dysfunction of both cell types. Using a neutrophil like cell line dHL-60 and isolated human neutrophils from donors and PAH patients, we demonstrated no significant difference in adhesion to PAH vs. control PAECs when stimulated with TNF-α (100μg/mL). However, TEM of both IL-8 (100ng/ml) and fMLP (100nM) stimulated dHL-60 cells and donor neutrophils was enhanced in PAH vs. control PAECs (p<0.01) likely related to reduced expression of Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule -1 (PECAM-1) in PAH PAECs (p <0.001). We therefore further hypothesized that inhibition of neutrophil elastase via recombinant human elafin would be sufficient to reverse TEM in both PAH and control PAEC by reducing neutrophil adhesion, a feature known to be elastase-dependent. Administration of elafin (1μg/mL) attenuated fMLP and IL-8 induced dHL-60 and neutrophil adhesion to fibrinogen and fibronectin (p<0.05 for both) as well as transmigration across both substrates (p<0.05 for both). Elafin reduced adhesion of neutrophil similarly in PAH and control PAEC (p <0.05 for both). Furthermore, in a dose dependent manner, elafin inhibited TEM in PAH PAEC by 40% in control PAECs, by 20% (p<0.001 and p<0.01 respectively) bringing values to within the same range of suppressing but not eliminating TEM. We therefore conclude that despite the reduction in PECAM-1 in PAH PAEC, inhibition of neutrophil adhesion with the elastase inhibitor elafin is sufficient to prevent the enhanced TEM. Elafin may therefore be of benefit in suppressing the deleterious impact of neutrophil in enhanced inflammation seen in PAH.
