Secondary cultures from murine spiral ligament (SL) fibrocytes were stimulated with proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor–α (TNF-α), and expression of various adhesion molecules was investigated. Cultures without cytokine stimulation did not show positive immunostaining for vascular cell adhesion molecule–1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule–1 (ICAM-1), or mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule–1 (MAdCAM-1). Although staining was also negative after stimulation with IL-1β, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 staining was observed after the cells were stimulated with TNF-α. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed messenger RNAs for both VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression to be present after fibrocytes were stimulated with TNF-α. These data suggest that activated fibrocytes may cause inflammatory cells to persist in the SL. Given that SL fibrocytes may play a role in homeostasis of cochlear fluid and ion concentrations, prolongation of the inflammatory response could lead to fibrocyte damage that might ultimately result in cochlear malfunction.

AbstractCell adhesion molecules are critical in monocyte (MN) recruitment in immune-mediated and hematologic diseases. We investigated the novel role of recombinant human migration inhibitory factor (rhMIF) in up-regulating vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and their signaling pathways in human MNs. rhMIF-induced expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 was significantly higher compared with nonstimulated MNs. rhMIF induced MN VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression in a concentration-dependent manner (P < .05). Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) and inhibitors of Src, PI3K, p38, and NFκB significantly reduced rhMIF-induced MN VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression (P < .05). However, Erk1/2 and Jak2 were not involved. Silencing RNA directed against MIF, and inhibitors of Src, PI3K, NFκB, anti–VCAM-1, and anti–ICAM-1 significantly inhibited rhMIF-induced adhesion of HL-60 cells to human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) or an endothelial cell line, HMEC-1, in cell adhesion assays, suggesting the functional significance of MIF-induced adhesion molecules (P < .05). rhMIF also activated MN phospho-Src, -Akt, and -NFκB in a time-dependent manner. rhMIF induced VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 up-regulation in 12 hours via Src, PI3K, and NFκB as shown by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. MIF and MIF-dependent signaling pathways may be a potential target for treating diseases characterized by up-regulation of cell adhesion molecules.

Lipoxins are formed by leukocytes during cell-cell interactions with epithelial or endothelial cells. Native lipoxin A4(LXA4) binds to the G protein-coupled lipoxin receptors formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2)/ALX and CysLT1. Furthermore, LXA4inhibits recruitment of neutrophils, by attenuating chemotaxis, adhesion, and transmigration across vascular endothelial cells. LXA4thus appears to serve as an endogenous “stop signal” for immune cell-mediated tissue injury (Serhan CN; Annu Rev Immunol 25: 101–137, 2007). The role of LXA4has not been addressed in salivary epithelium, and little is known about its effects on vascular endothelium. Here, we determined that interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) receptor activation in vascular endothelium and salivary epithelium upregulated the expression of adhesion molecules that facilitates the binding of immune cells. We hypothesize that the activation of the ALX/FPR2 and/or CysLT1 receptors by LXA4decreases this cytokine-mediated upregulation of cell adhesion molecules that enhance lymphocyte binding to both the vascular endothelium and salivary epithelium. In agreement with this hypothesis, we observed that nanomolar concentrations of LXA4blocked IL-1β- and TNF-α-mediated upregulation of E-selectin and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Binding of Jurkat cells to stimulated HUVECs was abrogated by LXA4. Furthermore, LXA4preincubation with human submandibular gland cell line (HSG) also blocked TNF-α-mediated upregulation of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in these cells, and it reduced lymphocyte adhesion. These findings suggest that ALX/FPR2 and/or CysLT1 receptor activation in endothelial and epithelial cells blocks cytokine-induced adhesion molecule expression and consequent binding of lymphocytes, a critical event in the pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome (SS).

Cell Adhesion Molecule 1

Enhanced expression of mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) and other endothelial cell adhesion molecules (ECAMs) are associated with the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We show in this study that two cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) inhibitors from Citrus paradis (grapefruit), bergamottin, and 6′,7′-dihydroxybergamottin (DHB) block tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated expression of MAdCAM-1 in cultured endothelial cells and also reduce α4β7-dependent lymphocyte adhesion. Bergamottin (20–50 μM) or DHB (10–30 μM) pretreatment dose-dependently reduced TNF-α-mediated expression of MAdCAM-1 and lymphocyte adhesion. Bergamottin and DHB also prevented expression of two other ECAMs, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (but not E-selectin). SKF-525a, a specific CYP450 inhibitor, also blocked the expression of MAdCAM-1 mediated by TNF-α. Similar to SKF-525a (20 μM), bergamottin (20 μM) and DHB (20 μM) directly inhibited the activity of CYP450 3A4. These results suggest that natural CYP450 inhibitors may be effective in reducing ECAM expression and leukocyte adhesion and therefore be useful in the clinical treatment of inflammatory states like IBD.
