Oxidants generated by endothelial xanthine oxidase (XO) can help trigger free radical-mediated tissue injury. An important event in oxidant-mediated tissue injury is neutrophil-endothelial adhesion. Although activation of endothelial XO increases adhesion, little is known about xanthine in the adhesive effect of XO. This study examined administered xanthine on the adhesion of neutrophils. Endothelial [human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)] monolayers were exposed to xanthine (15 min), and neutrophils were allowed to adhere to HUVEC in an adhesion assay. Adhesion was dose dependently increased by xanthine (3-100 microM). Either catalase (1,000 U/ml), oxypurinol (XO inhibitor; 100 microM), or platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist (WEB 2086; 10 microM) reduced neutrophil adhesion. Superoxide dismutase (1,000 U/ml) had no effect. Pretreatment of HUVEC with 50 microM tungsten also blocked xanthine-induced adherence. Adhesion was also inhibited by preincubation with 100 U/ml heparin. Finally, anti-P-selectin antibody (PB1.3; 20 micrograms/ml) attenuated adhesion. Our results indicate that xanthine may promote neutrophil-endothelial adhesion via a hydrogen peroxide- and PAF-mediated P-selectin expression.

Since polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) rapidly migrate across the endothelial barrier and attach to extracellular matrix components, we tested the hypothesis that adhesion of PMN to matrix proteins can mediate endothelial injury following PMN activation. Studies were made using gelatin- and fibronectin-coated polycarbonate microporous filters (10 microns thick) on which confluent monolayers of bovine pulmonary microvessel endothelial cells were grown. PMN were layered either directly onto endothelial cells (at a ratio of 10:1) (“upright system”) or onto gelatin- and fibronectin-coated filters with the endothelial monolayer grown on the underside of the filter without contact between PMN and endothelial cells (“inverted system”). PMN were activated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 5 x 10(-9) M) in both systems. PMN activation increased endothelial permeability to 125I-labeled albumin in upright as well as inverted systems. Pretreatment of PMN with anti-CD18 monoclonal antibodies IB4 or R15.7, which inhibited PMN adherence to matrix constituents as well as to endothelial cells, prevented the permeability increase in both configurations. This effect of anti-CD18 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) was not ascribed to a reduction in PMN activation, since PMA-induced superoxide generation was unaffected. We conclude that activation of PMN adherent to extracellular matrix proteins increases endothelial permeability to albumin and that this response is dependent on PMN adhesion to the matrix. The results support the concept that PMN-mediated increase in endothelial permeability is the result of “targeted” release of PMN products independent of whether the PMN are adherent to the extracellular matrix or the endothelium.
