We have previously shown that 3F8, a murine IgG3, monoclonal antibody (MoAb) specific for the ganglioside GD2, mediates tumor cell kill in vitro and in vivo. We now describe receptor requirements of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in 3F8-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) of human GD2 (+) melanoma and neuroblastoma cell lines. PMN from a child with leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) were devoid of CD11/CD18 adhesion molecules and mounted no detectable ADCC. MoAb to CD11b, CD11c, and CD18 each efficiently blocked ADCC by normal PMN. In contrast, a panel of different MoAbs to CD11a had no significant inhibitory effect on ADCC, a finding consistent with the low-to-absent expression of the CD11a ligand, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, on the target cells. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM- CSF) significantly increased the expression of CD11b, CD11c, and CD18 on normal PMN, decreased the expression of Fc receptors (FcR), and enhanced ADCC by normal but not by LAD PMN. MoAbs to FcRII and FcRIII each efficiently blocked ADCC; anti-FcRI MoAb had no effect. Flow cytometry using anti-FcRII MoAb versus anti-FcRIII MoAb did not show cross competition, suggesting that inhibition of ADCC was not a steric effect resulting from FcRII proximity to FcRIII. PMN deficient in FcRIII (obtained from patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria) and PMN depleted of FcRIII by treatment with elastase or phosphatidylinositol (PI)-specific phospholipase C produced low ADCC, supporting a role for the PI-liked FcRIII. Thus, optimal ADCC using human PMN, human solid tumor cells, and a clinically active MoAb (conditions that contrast with the heterologous antibodies and nonhuman or nonneoplastic targets used in most models of PMN ADCC) required CD11b, CD11c, FcRII, and the PI-linked FcRIII. Furthermore, in this clinically relevant system, GM-CSF enhancement of antitumor PMN ADCC correlated with increased expression of CD11/CD18 molecules.

Background/Aims Multiple myeloma is an incurable disease and patients eventually die of disease progression due to drug resistance. VLA-4 (very late antigen 4), VCAM (vascular adhesion molecule), LFA-1 (leukocyte function-associated antigen 1), and ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1)-mediated adhesion of myeloma cells to bone marrow stromal cells induces primary multidrug resistance in vitro. Based on these preclinical data we hypothesized that myeloma cells with strong adhesion - due to strong expression of adhesion molecules on the cell surface - are selected by chemotherapy in patients. To prove this hypothesis we determined the expression levels of adhesion molecules in 31 multiple myeloma patients by flow cytometry. Methods A 3-color stain with CD38, CD138 and antibodies against VLA-4, ICAM-1, LFA-1, and VCAM was performed. The patients were either at diagnosis (chemo-naive; n=17) or at relapse (pre-treated; n=15). Furthermore, the response to the next chemotherapy of chemo-naive patients was correlated with the expression levels of adhesion molecules. Results ICAM-1, VLA-4, and VCAM expression was higher in pre-treated patients than in chemo-naive patients and the expression levels increased with the number of chemotherapy regimens. Primarily multidrug-resistant patients had significantly higher expression levels of VLA-4 and ICAM-1 than responders. Conclusion This study suggests that multiple myeloma cells expressing high levels of VLA-4 and ICAM-1 are drug resistant and that such a subpopulation of cells is selected by chemotherapy.

Oxidant Production

We and others have previously demonstrated that intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is associated with a large increase in oxidant production that contributes to microvascular barrier disruption in the small bowel. It has been suggested that the bulk of tissue damage during reperfusion can be attributed to adherent, activated neutrophils. From these observations, we hypothesized that pretreatment with PR-39, an endogenous neutrophil antibacterial peptide that is also a potent inhibitor of the neutrophil NADPH oxidase, would prevent postischemic oxidant production and the development of oxidant-dependent sequelae to I/R such as increased venular protein leakage. To test this postulate, oxidant production, venular protein leakage, leukocyte adhesion, and leukocyte emigration were monitored during reperfusion in control (no ischemia) rat mesenteric venules and in mesenteric venules subjected to I/R alone or PR-39 + I/R. Treatment with a single intravenous bolus injection of PR-39 (administered at a dose to achieve an initial blood concentration of 5 μM) abolished I/R-induced leukocyte adhesion and emigration in vivo. In vitro studies indicated that PR-39 prevents platelet-activating factor-induced neutrophil chemotaxis as well as phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression by cultured endothelial cells. PR-39 pretreatment of rat neutrophils also blocked PMA-stimulated neutrophil adhesion to activated endothelial monolayers. In vivo, I/R was associated with a marked and progressive increase in oxidant production and venular protein leakage during reperfusion, effects that were abolished by PR-39 treatment. The results of this study indicate that PR-39 completely abolishes postischemic leukocyte adhesion and emigration. The time course for inhibition of oxidant production by PR-39 suggests that its antiadhesive properties account for this effect of the peptide. PR-39 may thus be therapeutically useful for prevention of neutrophil adhesion and activation during the postischemic inflammatory response.

We examined the effect of the neutrophil chemoattractants interleukin (IL)-8 and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine on goblet cell (GC) degranulation in guinea pigs. Chemoattractants caused time-dependent neutrophil recruitment and GC degranulation in vivo. NPC 15669 (an inhibitor of leukocyte infiltration) prevented both responses, implicating neutrophils. ICI 200,355 (an inhibitor of neutrophil elastase and proteinase-3) or secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (an inhibitor of elastase but not of proteinase-3) abolished IL-8-induced GC degranulation, implicating elastase. Incubating tracheal segments with IL-8 plus neutrophils caused GC degranulation in vitro, an effect due to activation of the neutrophils themselves (and not an effect present in the supernatant). Chemoattractant increased surface staining of elastase and the cleavage of elastase-specific fluorogenic substrate by neutrophils. Pretreatment with anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1, anti-CD18, or anti-CD11b antibody inhibited the chemoattractant-induced GC degranulation in vitro, implicating adhesion molecules. These studies suggest that chemoattractants cause neutrophil-dependent GC degranulation involving adhesive interactions between cells, with elastase activity occurring at the cell interface, causing GC secretion. The findings, reproduced in human airways, suggest novel methods of therapeutic intervention.

It has been shown thatBothrops jararacavenom (BjV) induces a significant leukocyte accumulation, mainly neutrophils, at the local of tissue damage. Therefore, the role of the adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), LECAM-1, CD18, leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) on the BjV-induced neutrophil accumulation and the correlation with release of LTB4, TXA2, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 have been investigated. Anti-mouse LECAM-1, LFA-1, ICAM-1 and PECAM-1 monoclonal antibody injection resulted in a reduction of 42%, 80%, 66% and 67%, respectively, of neutrophil accumulation induced by BjV (250 μg/kg, intraperitoneal) injection in male mice compared with isotype-matched control injected animals. The anti-mouse CD18 monoclonal antibody had no significant effect on venom-induced neutrophil accumulation. Concentrations of LTB4, TXA2, IL-6 and TNF-α were significant increased in the peritoneal exudates of animals injected with venom, whereas no increment in IL-1 was detected. This results suggest that ICAM-1, LECAM-1, LFA-1 and PECAM-1, but not CD18, adhesion molecules are involved in the recruitment of neutrophils into the inflammatory site induced by BjV. This is the firstin vivoevidence that snake venom is able to up-regulate the expression of adhesion molecules by both leukocytes and endothelial cells. This venom effect may be indirect, probably through the release of the inflammatory mediators evidenced in the present study.

ABSTRACT Passage of Trypanosoma brucei across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a hallmark of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis. In the present study we found that daily administration of minocycline, a tetracycline antibiotic, impedes the penetration of leukocytes and trypanosomes into the brain parenchyma of T. brucei brucei-infected C57BL/6 mice. The trypanosome-induced astrocytic and microglial reactions were reduced in the minocycline-treated mice, as were the levels in the brain of transcripts encoding adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule 1 (E-selectin); the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1α (IL-1α), IL-1β, IL-6, and gamma interferon; and matrix metalloprotease 3 (MMP-3), MMP-8, and MMP-12. Loss of weight occurring during infection with T. b. brucei was not observed after treatment of the mice with minocycline; these mice also survived longer than nontreated mice. Invasion of trypanosomes and leukocytes into the brain parenchyma most likely triggered the loss of weight and death of infected animals, since minocycline did not affect the growth of T. b. brucei either in vitro or in vivo or the levels of the transcripts encoding the cytokines and MMPs in the spleen. In conclusion, our data show that T. b. brucei invasion of the brain is related to that of leukocytes and that minocycline can ameliorate the disease in trypanosome-infected mice.

Background:Many papers have focused on the importance of granulocytes in the process of reperfusion and ischemia. Most of the clinical studies measured several parameters of this process during and after coronary angiography, without taking into account the effect of the radiographic contrast media (RCM) used during this procedure.Materials and methods:We performed a randomized patient study(n=37)to evaluate the effect of ionic and non-ionic RCM on granulocyte adhesion during coronary angiography. We also evaluated the influence of the ionicity and osmolarity of the different substances on granulocyte adhesion molecules inin vitroexperiments.Results:The osmolarity of patient serum samples increased from 302±1 to 309±1 mOsm/kg(P<0.05)after infusion of RCM. The CD11b expression in the samples of the non-ionic RCM treated group increased from 221±21 MFI to 377±30 MFI(P<0.05)measured as the absolute mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), yet did not alter significantly in the ionic RCM group. In contrast, thein vitroexperiments showed a reduction of the CD11b expression from 360±70 MFI to 149±30 MFI(P<0.05)in the ionic RCM group.Conclusions:The upregulation of adhesion molecules was significantly reducedin vivowith ionic RCM, while ionic substances caused opposite effectsin vitro. This effect should be taken into account when performing leukocyte functional analysis of samples taken during angiography.

Interleukin (IL)-6 reportedly has negative inotropic and hypertrophic effects on the heart. Here, we describe endotoxin-induced IL-6 in the heart that has not previously been well characterized. An intraperitoneal injection of a bacterial lipopolysaccharide into C57BL/6 mice induced IL-6 mRNA in the heart more strongly than in any other tissue examined. Induction of mRNA for two proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, occurred rapidly before the induction of IL-6 mRNA and protein. Although stimulation of isolated rat neonatal myocardial cells with IL-1β or TNF-α induced IL-6 mRNA in vitro, nonmyocardial heart cells produced higher levels of IL-6 mRNA upon stimulation with IL-1β. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analyses localized the IL-6 expression primarily in nonmyocardial cells in vivo. Endotoxin-induced expression of cardiac IL-1β, TNF-α, and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 was augmented in IL-6-deficient mice compared with control mice. Thus cardiac IL-6, expressed mainly by nonmyocardial cells via IL-1β action during endotoxemia, is likely to suppress expression of proinflammatory mediators and to regulate itself via a negative feedback mechanism.
