Abstract
Metastasis is a critical problem in the treatment of human lung cancer. Thus, a suitable animal model of metastasis of human lung cancer is required for in vivo biological and preclinical studies. In this study, we tried to establish a suitable model for this, using SCID mice. Neither human SCLC H69/VP cells (5 x 10(6)) nor squamous-cell carcinoma RERF-LC-AI cells (1 x 10(6)), injected through a tail vein, formed metastases in untreated SCID mice. Pre-treatment of SCID mice with anti-asialo GM1 serum resulted in only a few metastases of H69/VP cells, but pre-treatment with anti-mouse IL-2 receptor beta chain Ab (TM-beta 1) resulted in numerous lymph-node metastases 56 days after tumor inoculation. H69/VP-M cells, an in vivo-selected variant line, formed significant numbers of lymph-node metastases even in SCID mice pre-treated with anti-asialo GM1 serum. SCID mice depleted of NK cells by treatment with TM-beta 1 showed different patterns of metastasis when inoculated intravenously with the 2 different human lung cancer cell lines (H69/VP and RERF-LC-AI cells): H69/VP cells formed metastases mainly in systemic lymph nodes and the liver, whereas RERF-LC-AI cells formed metastases mainly in the liver and kidneys, with only a few in lymph nodes. A histopathological study showed that the metastatic colonies consisted of cancer cells. The numbers of metastatic colonies formed by the 2 cell lines increased with the number of cells inoculated. TM-beta 1 treatment of SCID mice efficiently removed NK cells from peripheral blood for at least 6 weeks, whereas, after treatment of the mice with anti-asialo GM1 serum, NK cells were recovered within 9 days. These findings suggest that NK-cell-depleted SCID mice may be useful as a model in biological and pre-clinical studies on metastasis of human lung cancer.

Abstract
The complement activation product, C5a, may play a key role in the acute inflammatory response. Polyclonal antibody to rat C5a was used to define the requirements for C5a in neutrophil-dependent inflammatory lung injury after systemic activation of complement by cobra venom factor (CVF) or after intrapulmonary deposition of IgG immune complexes. In the CVF model, intravenous infusion (but not intratracheal instillation) of anti-C5a produced a dose-dependent reduction in lung permeability and in lung content of myeloperoxidase. In C6-deficient rats, CVF infusion caused the same level of lung injury (measured by leak of 125I-albumin) as found in C6-sufficient rats. In the IgG immune complex model of lung injury, anti-C5a administered intratracheally (but not intravenously) reduced in a dose-dependent manner both the increase in lung vascular permeability as well as the buildup of lung myeloperoxidase. Treatment with anti-C5a greatly suppressed upregulation of lung vascular intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). This was correlated with a substantial drop in levels of TNFalpha in bronchoalveolar fluids. These data demonstrate the requirement for C5a in the two models of injury. In the IgG immune complex model, C5a is required for the full production of TNFalpha and the corresponding upregulation of lung vascular ICAM-1.

Abstract
We previously reported that a short course of treatment with anti-LFA-1 and anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) led to a persistent acceptance of mouse cardiac allografts, which resulted from the induction of allospecific tolerance. In the present study, we tested the effect of anti-LFA-1 and anti-ICAM-1 mAbs on rat allograft rejection and analyzed the mechanisms underlying allograft tolerance. In sharp contrast to the mouse case, a short course of treatment with anti-LFA-1 and anti-ICAM-1 mAbs led to a persistent acceptance in only half of the treated rats when MHC was compatible but mismatched for minor antigens, and was virtually ineffective when MHC was fully incompatible. However, treatment with these mAbs combined with donor-specific transfusion and FK506 consistently led to a persistent acceptance, even when the MHC was fully incompatible. Donor-specific tolerance was induced by this treatment, as estimated by skin challenging. In the tolerant rats, proliferative response and CTL generation against donor-type alloantigen were severely impaired but partially restored by exogenous interleukin-2. Limiting dilution analysis demonstrated that the precursor frequency of CTL was decreased in the tolerant rats, as compared with the naive rats. These results suggest that donor-reactive T cells were partially deleted and rendered anergic in the periphery.

Abstract
To evaluate the property of binding activity of alpha4beta1 integrin in cell-cell interaction, we newly established a cell line, alpha4mK562, by transfecting cDNA of murine integrin alpha4 subunit into human erythroleukemic K562 cells. alpha4mK562 transfectant expressed both murine alpha4 and human beta1 subunit, which generated a functional heterodimer. alpha4mK562 cells more efficiently bound to murine endothelial cell lines and recombinant human TNFalpha (rhTNF)-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) than the parental K562 cells. These adhesion resulted from the interaction between alpha4beta1 and VCAM-1. Interestingly, treatment with mAb against human beta1 (4B4 clone), which has been known as inhibitory mAb, enhanced binding of alpha4mK562 cells to rhTNF-treated HUVEC but not to murine endothelial cells. This increase in binding induced by 4B4 mAb was completely inhibited by another mAb against human beta1 (mAb13), but only partially by anti-alpha4 mAb (PSsolidus2). The increase in binding induced by 4B4 mAb was also abolished by metabolic inhibitors, indicating that the increased binding is energy dependent. These observations suggest that the binding of 4B4 mAb to the chimeric alpha4beta1 induces an unique outside-in signaling and enhances the specific binding of alpha4mK562 cells to rhTNF-treated HUVEC.

Abstract
Immunosuppression by anti-adhesion molecule antibody of free or vascularized skin allograft rejection was investigated in rats. Lewis (LEW, RT11) rats were used as donors and Fisher (F344, RT11v1) rats as the recipients. When F344 rats were treated intraperitoneally (i.p.) with anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) mAb (1A29) (3 mg/kg/day) and anti-leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) mAb (WT.1) (3 mg/kg/day) one day prior to grafting and daily after grafting for nine days, free skin graft survival was prolonged only slightly compared with that in control rats which were injected i.p. with a daily dose of 6 mg/kg of anti-TNP mAbs (H1-6-2) one day prior to grafting and daily after grafting for nine days. (Mean survival time [MST] of the free skin graft was 11.2 +/- 0.6 days in the control group and 13.4 +/- 0.3 days in the 1A29 + WT-1 treated group [p < 0.01], respectively.) On the other hand, the vascularized graft survival was prolonged significantly in anti-ICAM-1/LFA-1 mAbs-treated F344 rats as compared with that in control rats. (The mean vascularized graft survival time was 14.2 +/- 0.7 days in the control group and 21.5 +/- 1.9 days in 1A29 + WT-1 treated group [p < 0.002]). Our results suggest that interaction with ICAM-1 and LFA-1 is more important in the rejection of vascularized skin allografts than that of free skin allografts.

Abstract
Diabetes-prone (DP) BB rats (RT1(u), RT6.1) spontaneously develop insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and the disease manifestation resembles that in human IDDM. DP rats are immunodeficient with severe T lymphocytopenia due to the absence of T cells expressing the RT6 differential alloantigen, which have immunoregulatory functions. MHC- and non-MHC-compatible Wistar Furth (WF; RT1(u), RT6.2) pancreases were transplanted into DP rats. WF pancreas grafts were destroyed by IDDM recurrence (insulitis), but not by rejection, with a mean survival time of 65.3 +/- 21.7 days. To prevent the recurrence of IDDM in the grafts, monoclonal antibodies to intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 were administered. WF pancreas grafts were indefinitely accepted (>108.0 +/- 26.8 days) in monoclonal antibody-treated DP recipients. The number of T cells was increased and cellular immune responses restored only in the DP rats that had accepted grafts. The increased number of T cells was due to the peripheral appearance of donor-type RT6.2+ T cells, which represented 34.3 +/- 7.0% of total splenic T cells. The cytotoxicity of splenic T cells to WF islet cells was suppressed in the presence of RT6+ T cells in vitro. These findings demonstrated that stable macrochimerism of donor-derived RT6+ T cells could restore the immune responses and prevent the recurrence of IDDM in the DP recipients.

Abstract
Blood neutrophils contribute to joint injury in human and experimental models of arthritis. Neutrophil migration out of the blood in joint inflammation involves both the CD18 (beta2) integrins and a CD18 integrin-independent pathway. To investigate this migration, radiolabeled rat blood neutrophils were used to measure neutrophil accumulation in the inflamed joints of rats with adjuvant arthritis and the role of leukocyte integrins in migration to these joints and to dermal inflammation was determined. Neutrophils migrated rapidly (<2 h) to the inflamed joints 14-18 d after immunization with adjuvant. Blocking monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to both LFA-1 and Mac-1 together, as well as a mAb to CD18, inhibited neutrophil accumulation in the inflamed joints by 50-75%. However, migration to dermal inflammation induced by C5a(des Arg)' tumor necrosis factor alpha, lipopolysaccharide, and poly-inosine:cytosine was inhibited by approximately 90%. Flow cytometry revealed the expression of low levels of very late antigen 4 (VLA-4) on nearly all rat blood neutrophils. Treatment with anti-VLA-4 plus anti-LFA-1 but neither mAb alone, strongly (60-75%) inhibited neutrophil accumulation in arthritic joints. This mAb combination also inhibited neutrophil migration to dermal inflammatory reactions by 30-70%. Blocking VLA-4 together with the CD18 integrins inhibited neutrophil accumulation by 95-99%, virtually abolishing neutrophil accumulation in cutaneous inflammation. A similar blockade of VLA-4 and CD18 decreased neutrophil accumulation in the inflamed joints by 70-83%, but a significant portion of the neutrophil accumulation to these joints still remained. In conclusion, rat blood neutrophils express functional VLA-4 that can mediate neutrophil migration to both inflamed joints and dermal inflammatory sites. VLA-4 appears to be able to substitute for LFA-1 in this migration and is particularly important for accumulation in inflamed joints. However, there exists an additional CD18- and VLA-4-independent pathway of neutrophil migration to arthritic joints that is not involved in acute dermal inflammation.

Abstract
In various models of lung inflammatory injury in rats, individual requirements for leukocytic and endothelial adhesion molecules have been established. In the current study dose-response interventions were employed and comparisons made to protective effects of single and dual blockade of adhesion molecules. In lung injury following systemic activation of complement, single blockade of P- or L-selectin produced dose-dependent protective effects, while combined blocking of L- and P-selectin produced protection that was incremental to either blockade alone but less than completely additive. The blocking of selectins seemed to have limited effects. Additive protective effects were also found with dual blockade of CD11a and CD11b. In the IgG immune complex model of lung injury, combined blocking of L- and E-selectin was more effective than blocking of either selectin alone. Combined blockade of CD11a and CD18 was also more effective than either blocking intervention alone. However, blocking of CD11b was ineffective and was not associated with increased protection when combined with anti-CD18, confirming earlier indications that, under the conditions employed, Mac-1 plays no measurable role in this model of lung injury. Increased protection also occurred when mAb to E-selectin was combined with mAb to either ICAM-1 or CD18. In the IgA immune complex model of lung injury the simultaneous blocking of E-selectin and ICAM-1 resulted in protection that was no different from the effects of blocking ICAM-1 alone, confirming that E-selectin plays no role in this model of lung injury. Dual blockade of CD11b and CD18 was more effective than blockade of either alone. Finally, combined blockade of CD18 and VLA-4 in the two models of immune complex-induced injury was more effective than individual blockade. These data substantiate the multiple requirements for adhesion molecules in the three models of lung injury. The findings raise questions as to why dual blockade of adhesion molecules produces less than completely additive effects of the individual interventions and why the protective effects of blocking antibodies seem to have an upper limit.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF/MCP-1/JE) on tumor progression and metastasis. METHODS Cachexia-inducing adenocarcinoma cells (cell line colon 26, clone 20) were transfected with either a control plasmid or MCAF expression vector. Spontaneous lung metastases were determined in mouse. RESULTS The production of MCAF reached 0.4 ng/ml in vitro when transfectant cells were cultured at a cell density of 5 x 10(4) cells/ml for 3 days. Transfection of MCAF expression vector did not affect the growth rate in vitro. Also, after MCAF-transfection, the size of tumors after intra-footpad inoculation was similar to that of the parental cells. When the primary tumors were resected on the 10th day after inoculation, the incidence of spontaneous lung metastasis was less than 20% in both cells. The number of endothelial cells in the primary tumor rapidly increased from the 10th to the 14th day after inoculation, as revealed by immunohistochemical staining. In accordance with enhanced angiogenesis, the incidence rates of spontaneous metastasis increased when the primary tumors were resected on the 14th day after inoculation. Moreover, the spontaneous lung metastases were augmented in the animals injected with MCAF-transfectants compared to those injected with parental cells with a concomitant increase of angiogenesis. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that MCAF may augment the metastastic potential by modulating tumor associated angiogenesis.

Abstract
We developed an animal model for non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, a genetically obese rat strain, Wistar fatty. These rats show obesity-related features such as hyperinsulinemia and hyperlipemia, and only males develop diabetic features including hyperglycemia, glucoseuria and polyuria as they age. Histopathological study demonstrated a deposition of PAS-positive granules in the epithelial cells and a diffuse thickening of the mesangial area and moderate changes of the renal tubules. We found that ICAM-1 is expressed on the glomeruli of male Wistar fatty rats and the expression is associated with the development of nephropathy; it is weak at 5 weeks, becomes markedly strong at 15 weeks and progresses further at 29 weeks of age. We tried in vivo administration of monoclonal antibody, anti-ICAM-1 alone or together with anti-LFA-1 into male Wistar fatty rats during the period from 5 weeks to 17 weeks of age. The treatment, however, could not prevent the development of nephropathy. ICAM-1 expressed on the glomeruli of Wistar fatty rats seems not to play a key role in development of the nephropathy by mediating leukocyte infiltration. It will be a useful marker of the development of the disease.

Abstract
Although several distinct adhesion pathways are now well characterized, it is not clear whether analysis of adhesion molecule expression on leucocytes is sufficient to predict their interaction with endothelium in vivo. Therefore, in the present study this question was addressed by investigating the interaction between blood leucocyte subsets and high endothelial venules (HEV). The expression of different types of adhesion molecule (CD44, alpha 4-integrins, LFA-1, ICAM-1, CD2 and L-selectin) on lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes and granulocytes of rat blood was determined by flow cytometry. In the same animals the numbers of blood leucocyte subsets present in the HEV of axillary lymph nodes and Peyer's patches were analysed using immunohistology. In the HEV of both axillary lymph nodes and of Peyer's patches lymphocytes (greater than 10,000 per mm2), as well as small numbers of NK cells and monocytes (less than 500 per mm2), were found. In contrast, granulocytes were not detected here. Lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes and granulocytes each expressed CD44, alpha 4-integrins, LFA-1, ICAM-1, CD2 and L-selectin in a pattern characteristic to cell type, but this did not correlate with the different ability of the leucocyte subsets to interact with the two types of HEV. In conclusion, determining the expression of CD44, alpha 4-integrins, LFA-1, ICAM-1, CD2 and L-selectin on blood leucocytes alone is not sufficient to predict leucocyte/endothelium interaction in vivo.

Abstract
aly is a unique spontaneous autosomal recessive mutation in mice that causes a deficiency in the systemic lymph nodes (LN) and Peyer's patches (PP). aly also induces abnormal histological findings in the spleen and a deficiency in humoral and cell-mediated immune functions, although lymphocytes of the aly/aly mouse show virtually normal immune responses in vitro. We studied the structure of the spleen of aly mice in detail by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. We found that the spleen of the aly/aly mouse was deficient in the expression of specific antigens for marginal metallophils (MM), marginal zone macrophages (MZM) and fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC), which are components of the marginal zone (MZ) of the spleen. Morphological analysis indicated that the aly/aly spleen is deficient in the structure of MZ, which may, in part, account for the severe immunodeficiency in the aly/aly mouse. We then performed reciprocal bone marrow transplantation experiments (BMT) between normal and aly mice and found a clear correlation between the formation of LN and the development of the splenic MZ in these mice; i.e. successful development of LN was invariably associated with the appearance of the MZ structure, whereas the failure of LN development was always associated with the absence of the development of MZ. These BMT results suggest that a common factor may regulate the generation of both LN and MZ of the spleen.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) expression in response to endotoxin may be dysregulated in an animal model of portal hypertension. METHODS Portal hypertension was induced by partial portal vein ligation. Sham-operated animals served as controls. ICAM-1 expression was measured using radiolabeled antibodies under baseline conditions or 5 hours after treatment with either endotoxin or recombinant tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Immunoreactive plasma TNF was also measured. RESULTS Under baseline conditions, ICAM-1 expression in all organs studied was similar in portal-hypertensive and sham-operated rats. ICAM-1 up-regulation after a high dose of endotoxin (5 mg/kg) was similar in both groups of animals. However, portal-hypertensive animals showed a significantly higher ICAM-1 expression in response to low doses of endotoxin (0.1-10 microgram/kg). The response to a low (but not a high) dose of recombinant TNF was also significantly enhanced in portal-hypertensive animals. In addition, portal-hypertensive rats had higher plasma TNF levels after treatment with endotoxin or recombinant TNF. CONCLUSIONS Portal hypertension induces an exaggerated ICAM-1 up-regulation in response to endotoxin, which is related to an increased production and decreased clearance of the cytokine.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine whether 1) the leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion observed in venules exposed to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is accompanied by enhanced albumin extravasation, and 2) leukocytes mediate this endothelial cell barrier dysfunction. Intravital video microscopy was used to monitor leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and the leakage of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled albumin in rat mesenteric venules exposed to either indomethacin or aspirin. Both NSAIDs induced the recruitment of adherent and emigrated leukocytes with temporally related increases in albumin leakage. Agents that effectively decreased or prevented the NSAID-induced leukocyte adherence/emigration (leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist or adhesion molecule-specific monoclonal antibodies) also blocked the corresponding albumin leakage response. These findings indicate that adherent and/or emigrating leukocytes mediate the early endothelial cell barrier dysfunction elicited by NSAIDs.

Abstract
Massive hepatic necrosis develops after endotoxin administration in rats pretreated with heat-killed Propionibacterium acnes as a result of microcirculatory disturbance caused by endothelial cell destruction by activated macrophages in the hepatic sinusoids. Immunohistochemical hepatic expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 alpha (LFA-1 alpha) and the effect of monoclonal antibodies against both adhesion molecules on liver necrosis provoked after endotoxin administration was studied in these rats. There were increased stains of ICAM-1 in endothelial cells and LFA-1 alpha in macrophages in the hepatic sinusoids in Propionibacterium acnes-pretreated rats compared with normal rats. Such stains were further increased soon after endotoxin administration, followed by development of hepatic necrosis. Monoclonal antibodies against both adhesion molecules significantly attenuated the extent of liver injury compared with controls, without affecting the infiltration and activation of hepatic macrophages. Polyclonal antibodies against polymorphonuclear leukocytes eradicated circulating neutrophils, but did not change such liver injury, although gum arabic, which suppressed macrophage activation, attenuated the extent of liver injury. Thus, adhesion between endothelial cells and activated macrophages in the hepatic sinusoids via ICAM-1 and LFA-1 alpha is essential for the initiation of massive hepatic necrosis of this type. Contribution of neutrophils seems less likely.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54), an adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is an endothelial cell surface ligand for such leukocyte integrins as lymphocyte-function-associated molecule 1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18), Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) and CD43. These molecules mediate adhesive interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells and are critically involved in infiltration of leukocytes into inflammatory lesions. We examined the expression of ICAM-1 in renal tissues of Masugi nephritis rats and directly examined the role of ICAM-1 by administration of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to rat ICAM-1, LFA-1 alpha-subunit (LFA-1 alpha), beta-subunit (LFA-1 beta) and Mac-1 alpha-subunit (Mac-1 alpha). Within 3 h after injection of nephrotoxic serum, increased expression of ICAM-1 was detected in the glomeruli by in situ hybridization and an immunofluorescence study. Proteinuria was significantly suppressed by the MAbs against ICAM-1, Mac-1 alpha and LFA-1 beta. Neutrophil infiltration into the glomeruli was significantly prevented by injection of the MAbs against ICAM-1, LFA-1 alpha and LFA-1 beta. These results indicate that both ICAM-1/LFA-1 and ICAM-1/Mac-1 pathways are involved in neutrophil infiltration into the glomeruli. On the other hand, monocytic infiltration was prevented by the MAbs against ICAM-1, LFA-1 alpha and LFA-1 beta but not by anti-Mac-1 alpha MAb. Due to these results, ICAM-1 is considered to be a critical molecule involved in the pathogenesis of the leukocyte infiltration into the glomeruli in the heterologous phase of Masugi nephritis. Anti-ICAM-1 antibody may be beneficial in the treatment of leukocyte-mediated glomerular diseases.

Abstract
The effects of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to cell-surface molecules, divalent cations, and various cell-signaling and metabolic inhibitors on the binding of thymocytes to rat thymic dendritic cells (TDC) were studied using a rosette assay. It was found that TDC/thymocyte adhesion was stronger and faster at 37 degrees C than at 4 degrees C. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that bound thymocytes were predominantly CD4+CD8+ and CD4+CD8-, but in comparison to the phenotype of whole thymocytes, they were enriched in the mature TCR alpha beta hi subset. The binding of thymocytes to TDC at 37 degrees C was almost completely dependent on Ca2+ and Mg2+ and partly on an intact cytoskeleton and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. The adhesion was independent of new protein synthesis and the activities of protein kinases A and C, tyrosine kinases, as well as phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases. The TDC/thymocyte adhesion at 37 degrees C was partly blocked by anti-LFA-1 (WT.1), anti-CD18 (WT.3), and anti-ICAM-1 (1A29)mAb. MAbs to class II MHC (OX-3 and OX-6), CD4 (W3/25), CD8 (OX-8), and alpha beta TCR (R73) stimulated the adhesion via an LFA-1-dependent pathway, whereas an anti-CD45 mAb (G3C5) stimulated the rosette formation independently of LFA-1. MAbs to CD2 (OX-34), CD11b (ED7), CD11b/c (OX-42), and class I MHC (OX-18) were without significant effects on the adhesion process.

Abstract
The anti-mouse IL-2-R beta chain mAb TM-beta 1 which, by itself, does not affect IL-2-dependent proliferation through the high affinity mouse IL-2 receptor, was shown to cooperate in a synergistic way with a set of anti-IL-2-R alpha chain mAbs both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, when associated at equimolar concentrations, the TM-beta 1/anti-alpha mAb association was four to ten times more efficient at inhibiting the proliferation of the CTL-L2 cell line than was a similar concentration of anti-alpha mAb alone. In addition, a bispecific antibody in which a Fab' fragment of TM-beta 1 was covalently linked to a Fab' fragment of one of the anti-alpha mAb (5A2) was shown to be as efficient as the TM-beta 1/5A2 association. The association of TM-beta 1 with 5A2 was also tested in vivo in a sheep red blood cell-induced delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) model. TM-beta 1 which, by itself, had no effect on DTH, induced a two- to threefold decrease in the doses of 5A2 required to suppress this cell-mediated immune reaction.

Abstract
Donor-specific immunosuppression using anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and anti-lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) has been shown to inhibit nerve allograft rejection without side effects. This dose-response study evaluated several dosing regimens using a 2-week course of three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against ICAM-1 and LFA-1 in combination on peripheral nerve allograft rejection in a rat model. Assessments of regeneration included walking track, electrophysiological, and histomorphologic analyses. Donor (ACI)-specific tolerance induction was assessed. Toxicity and mAb serum levels were monitored. At 18 weeks post engraftment, intermediate and high-dose groups were histologically indistinguishable from isograft controls, and superior to the untreated allograft group which demonstrated a significantly lower percent nerve tissue than all other groups. There were no differences in print length factor after 12 weeks or conduction velocity at sacrifice between any groups. Tolerance induction was not demonstrated. During mAb administration, animals in higher dose groups experienced temporary systemic side effects. This study demonstrated that a short course of mAb therapy directed against ICAM-1/LFA-1 inhibits rejection in rat peripheral nerve allografts by an unknown mechanism. The use of immune modulation in nerve transplantation may eliminate the need for systemic immunosuppression.

Abstract
An interleukin (IL)-4 dependent mouse T cell clone 8.2 derived from an IL-2-dependent T cell line was characterized. As measured by flow cytometric analysis and Northern blotting, it expresses IL-2 receptor beta (IL-2R beta) and gamma (IL-2R gamma) chains, but has lost expression of IL-2 receptor alpha chain (IL-2R alpha). To investigate the properties of the mouse IL-2R beta gamma complex and the role of IL-2R alpha gene expression, this clone was further studied. T cell clone 8.2 has lost the capacity to bind 125I-labeled human IL-2 under experimental conditions able to detect intermediate-affinity IL-2R in human cells. Mouse IL-2 is unable to block the binding of mAb TM beta 1 to 8.2 cells. Under the same experimental conditions, mouse IL-2 blocks the binding of TM beta 1 to C30-1 cells expressing the IL-2 alpha beta gamma complex. Since TM beta 1 recognizes an epitope related to the IL-2 binding site of IL-2R beta, these results can be taken as a demonstration that mouse IL-2R beta gamma does not bind mouse IL-2. Furthermore, T cell clone 8.2 does not proliferate in response to recombinant mouse or human IL-2. On the other hand, T cell transfectant lines expressing heterospecific receptors made of the human IL-2R beta and mouse IL-2R gamma chains bind 125I-labeled human IL-2 and proliferate in response to IL-2. This establishes the difference between mouse and human IL-2R beta chains. Transfection of T cell clone 8.2 with human IL-2R alpha genes restores their capacity to proliferate in response to IL-2. In addition, all transfectants grown in IL-2 express the endogeneous mouse IL-2R alpha chain. When grown in IL-4, the endogeneous mouse IL-2R alpha gene remains silent in all these transfectants. These results show that, contrary to the human, the mouse does not express an intermediate-affinity IL-2R. Expression of the IL-2R alpha gene is therefore required for the formation of the functional IL-2R in mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is associated with an increased incidence of ischemic organ damage. The objectives of present study were to compare the leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesive interactions and albumin leakage response of mesenteric venules to ischemia-reperfusion between control rats, rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes, and rats with hyperglycemia induced by glucose infusion and to define the molecular determinants of the leukocyte accumulation elicited by ischemia-reperfusion in diabetic rats. METHODS AND RESULTS Under baseline conditions, lower venular shear rates and an increased number of rolling leukocytes were noted in diabetic rats, whereas the number of adherent and emigrated leukocytes did not differ from that in control rats. Spontaneous albumin leakage from mesenteric venules was markedly increased in diabetic rats but not in hyperglycemic nondiabetic rats. Ischemia-reperfusion elicited significantly larger increases in leukocyte adhesion and emigration and albumin leakage in diabetic rats. Acute elevation of glucose levels did not modify the microvascular responses to ischemia-reperfusion compared with control rats. Antibodies directed against CD11/CD18, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), or P-selectin but not L-selectin significantly decreased the number of adherent and emigrated leukocytes after ischemia-reperfusion in diabetic rats. However, none of the antibodies significantly attenuated the increased albumin leakage response to ischemia-reperfusion in diabetic rats. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that diabetes mellitus is associated with exaggerated leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and albumin leakage responses to ischemia-reperfusion. The enhanced leukocyte accumulation in response to ischemia-reperfusion is mediated by CD11/CD18-ICAM-1 interactions (firm adhesion) and P-selectin (rolling). The exaggerated albumin leakage response to ischemia-reperfusion in diabetics is not mediated by the recruited inflammatory cells.

Abstract
Since heparin-like glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been reported to possess anti-inflammatory effects, we tested effects of heparin-like GAGs on cell adhesion between endothelial cells (ECs) and leukocytes. Effects of heparin-like GAGs on adhesion molecule expression and leukocyte adhesion were analyzed using cultured human umbilical vein ECs stimulated by endotoxin. Expression of adhesion molecules on ECs was unchanged, but adherence of leukocytes to ECs was significantly reduced by heparin-like GAGs under nonstatic conditions. These results suggest that heparin-like GAGs may act as anti-inflammatory agents partly by inhibition of leukocyte adherence to stimulated ECs under nonstatic conditions and may prevent critical conditions caused by endotoxin.

Abstract
We investigated the role of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) as potential mediators of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-stimulated neutrophil adhesion to rat mesenteric venules in vivo, using intravital microscopy and fixed whole mount preparations of mesentery. Intraperitoneal injection of TNF-alpha significantly increased leukocyte rolling, adhesion, and emigration in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Leukocyte adhesion and emigration, but not rolling, were significantly attenuated by prior intravenous administration of monoclonal anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Rolling leukocyte flux was significantly attenuated by intravenous preadministration of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, or both. Only catalase or SOD plus catalase significantly inhibited leukocyte adhesion. Catalase alone inhibited emigration. Moreover, postadhesive treatment with catalase but not SOD, 4 h after TNF-alpha administration reduced the flux of rolling (but not adherent) leukocytes that had previously increased in response to TNF-alpha. Intragastric allopurinol (50 mg/kg at 3 and 18 h before TNF-alpha administration) or 3 wk of a tungsten-enriched diet substantially inhibited xanthine oxidase activity but had no significant effects on the above parameters of neutrophil dynamics. In parallel experiments using fixed whole mount preparations of the mesoappendix stained specifically for neutrophil esterase, neutrophil adhesion 2 h after TNF-alpha administration was also inhibited by continuous intravenous administration of catalase but not by SOD, intragastric allopurinol, or tungsten diet. These findings suggest that ROMs, apparently not from xanthine oxidase, are important mediators of TNF-alpha-induced upregulation of neutrophil adhesion in rat mesenteric venules.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to characterize and compare the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) on unstimulated and endotoxin-challenged endothelial cells in different tissues of the rat. ICAM-1 expression was measured using 125I-labeled anti-rat ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) and an isotype-matched control MAb labeled with 131I (to correct for nonspecific accumulation of the binding MAb). Under baseline conditions, ICAM-1 MAb binding was observed in all organs. The binding of 125I-ICAM-1 MAb varied widely among organs, with the largest accumulation (per g tissue) in the lung, followed by heart (1/30th of lung activity), splanchnic organs (1/50th of lung activity), thymus (1/100th of lung activity), testes (1/300th of lung activity), and skeletal muscle (1/800th of lung activity). Endotoxin induced an increase in ICAM-1 MAb binding in all organs except the spleen. Endotoxin-induced upregulation of ICAM-1 was greatest in heart and skeletal muscle (5- to 10-fold), whereas the remaining organs exhibited a two- to fourfold increase in ICAM-1 expression. Maximal upregulation of ICAM-1 occurred at 9-12 h after endotoxin administration. A dose-dependent increase in ICAM-1 expression was elicited by 0.1-10 microgram/kg, with higher doses (up to 5 mg/kg) producing no further increment. Induction of ICAM-1 mRNA after endotoxin was observed in all tissues examined (lung, heart, intestine), peaked at 3 h, and then rapidly returned to control levels. These findings indicate that ICAM-1 is constitutively expressed on vascular endothelium in all organs of the rat and that there are significant regional differences in the magnitude and time course of endotoxin-induced ICAM-1 expression.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF/MCP-1/JE) on tumor progression and metastasis. METHODS Cachexia-inducing adenocarcinoma cells (cell line colon 26, clone 20) were transfected with either a control plasmid or MCAF expression vector. Spontaneous lung metastases were determined in mouse. RESULTS The production of MCAF reached 0.4 ng/ml in vitro when transfectant cells were cultured at a cell density of 5 x 10(4) cells/ml for 3 days. Transfection of MCAF expression vector did not affect the growth rate in vitro. Also, after MCAF-transfection, the size of tumors after intra-footpad inoculation was similar to that of the parental cells. When the primary tumors were resected on the 10th day after inoculation, the incidence of spontaneous lung metastasis was less than 20% in both cells. The number of endothelial cells in the primary tumor rapidly increased from the 10th to the 14th day after inoculation, as revealed by immunohistochemical staining. In accordance with enhanced angiogenesis, the incidence rates of spontaneous metastasis increased when the primary tumors were resected on the 14th day after inoculation. Moreover, the spontaneous lung metastases were augmented in the animals injected with MCAF-transfectants compared to those injected with parental cells with a concomitant increase of angiogenesis. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that MCAF may augment the metastastic potential by modulating tumor associated angiogenesis.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine the roles of neutrophil-endothelial cell interactions and oxygen-derived free radicals in the pathogenesis of aspirin-induced gastric mucosal injury in rats. Oral administration of acidified aspirin (200 mg/kg) resulted in linear hemorrhagic erosions and an increase in myeloperoxidase activity, an index of neutrophil infiltration, in the gastric mucosa. Aspirin-induced gastric damage and the increase in myeloperoxidase activity were significantly inhibited by the injection of anti-CD11a, anti-CD11b, anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1 monoclonal antibodies, and the combination of superoxide dismutase and catalase, which are scavengers of active oxygen species. These results suggest that neutrophil-endothelial adhesive interactions, which occur via CD11a/ CD18- and CD11b/CD18-dependent interactions with intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and oxygen-derived free radicals produced by neutrophils are implicated in the production of aspirin-induced gastric mucosal injury.

Abstract
L-selectin is an adhesion molecule of the selectin family that mediates the initial step of leukocyte adhesion to vascular endothelium. Upon cellular activation, expression of the L-selectin gene is downregulated at both the protein and mRNA levels. To understand the mechanism of leukemic cell infiltration into organs, we studied the expression and regulation of L-selectin mRNA in fresh leukemic cells of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) patients and investigated the response of the L-selectin promoter to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax, which is a viral transcriptional transactivator. Flow cytometry showed that L-selectin was expressed on fresh ATL cells along with other activation antigens. Northern blot analysis showed that ATL cells overexpressed that L-selectin mRNA and that the level was aberrantly upregulated after PMA stimulation. Studies using in situ hybridization showed expression of the L-selectin mRNA in the infiltrating leukemic cells in the liver of two ATL patients. Intravenous injection of a rat T-cell line that overexpresses L-selectin showed increased organ infiltration. The induction of Tax expression in JPX9 cells resulted in about a twofold increase in the mRNA expression levels compared with the basal level. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) assay after transient cotransfection showed about a fivefold transactivation of the L-selectin promoter by Tax. The serum level of the shed form of L-selectin was significantly increased in ATL patients (mean +/- SD, 4,215.4 +/- 4,111 ng/mL) compared with those of asymptomatic carriers and healthy blood donors (mean +/- SD, 1,148.0 +/- 269.0 ng/mL and 991.9 +/- 224 ng/mL, respectively). These results indicated that ATL cells constitutively overexpress the L-selectin gene that can be transactivated by HTLV-1 Tax. The overexpression of L-selectin, as well as of inflammatory cytokines, by ATL cells may provide a basis for ATL cells to attach the vascular endothelium, leading to transmigration and organ infitration.

Abstract
The present study was designed to elucidate whether molecular mechanisms for leukocyte adhesion to microvascular endothelium may differ between spontaneously hypertensive rats and Wistar Kyoto rats. Leukocyte rolling and adhesion were investigated while monitoring venular wall shear rates in the mesenteric microcirculation stimulated with histamine or tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the two strains. In Wistar Kyoto rats, 10 microM histamine as well as 500 microM tertbutyl hydroperoxide promoted a significant reduction of venular leukocyte rolling velocity and subsequent adhesion. These changes in leukocyte behavior were blocked by monoclonal antibodies against P-selectin (PB 1.3) and against sialyl Lewis X-like carbohydrates (2H5). However, spontaneously hypertensive rats exhibited a blunted response of the stimulus-elicited leukocyte rolling, which was associated with impairment of venular P-selectin expression as well as a decrease in the expression of sialyl Lewis X-like carbohydrates on circulating neutrophils. No significant differences were detected between the two strains not only in the surface CD11b/CD18 expression but also in the CD18-mediated adhesivity of neutrophils to intracellular adhesion molecule-1 transfectants in vitro. These results suggest that impairment of selectin-mediated leukocyte adhesion is an event responsible for disorders of inflammatory responses in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Abstract
To evaluate the airway infiltration of eosinophils in the asthmatic responses of Brown-Norway rats, which were sensitized with ovalbumin, the time course of eosinophil infiltration and respiratory resistance (Rrs) after ovalbumin challenge was measured. The effect of treatment with monoclonal antibody against ICAM-1 and CD18 was studied. Finally, the expression of ICAM-1 and CD18 in the airway was investigated. All rats showed Rrs increase 6-7 hours after ovalbumin challenge, indicating a late asthmatic response (LAR). Animals with LAR had higher eosinophil counts than those with an immediate asthmatic response (IAR) and in the sensitized but nonchallenged animals. Rats treated with the antibodies showed significantly smaller increases in Rrs and lower eosinophil counts than the control animals. Immunohistochemical staining in airway was performed. ICAM-1 immunoreactivity was positive on both the epithelium and the vascular endothelium of a trachea section, and on the pulmonary vascular endothelium. ICAM-1 expression was upregulated after challenge. The number of CD18-positive cells in sections of trachea and lung increased after challenge. Our results show that eosinophil infiltration is important in LAR development and the treatment with antagonists of ICAM-1 and CD18 may provide a therapeutic approach to reducing asthmatic symptoms.

Abstract
A two-step culture system was used to analyze the parameters involved in the acquisition of IL-2 responsiveness by murine B cells. In the first culture, unstimulated, or resting, B cells prepared from spleen of naive animals were challenged during 48 h with IL-2, IL-4, anti-mu, anti-mu+IL-2, anti-mu+IL4, or anti-mu+IL-2 + IL-4. In a second culture, IL-2 responsiveness was followed by measuring either the cell proliferation or the Ig production. It was found that only B cells stimulated by anti-mu+IL-2 were able to respond. The expression of three chains of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R alpha, IL-2R beta, and IL-2R gamma) was studied by FACS. IL-2R beta and IL-2R gamma were found to be expressed constitutively on resting B cells. IL-2R alpha was induced by anti-mu and anti-mu+IL-2 treatment. Although B cells treated by anti-mu alone are not able to respond to IL-2, they do express an IL-2 binding capacity comparable with B cells treated by anti-mu+IL-2. This paradoxical result suggests that IL-2 has a direct influence on the acquisition of the IL-2 responsiveness. IL-4 exerts a negative effect on the IL-2 response. At the molecular level, IL-4 was found to reduce selectively the IL-2R beta expression at the B cell surface. This effect was confirmed by Northern blot analysis. Maximum expression of the IL-2R beta mRNA is obtained after anti-mu+IL-2 treatment. In the presence of IL-4, expression of the IL-2R beta mRNA is greatly reduced.

Abstract
Acute organ transplant rejection is characterized by a heavy lymphocyte infiltration. We have previously shown that alterations in the graft endothelium lead to increased lymphocyte traffic into the graft. Here, we demonstrate that lymphocytes adhere to the endothelium of rejecting cardiac transplants, but not to the endothelium of syngeneic grafts or normal hearts analyzed with the in vitro Stamper-Woodruff binding assay. Concomitant with the enhanced lymphocyte adhesion, the cardiac endothelium begins to de novo express sialyl Lewis(a) and sialyl Lewis(x) (sLea and sLex) epitopes, which have been shown to be sequences of L-selectin counterreceptors. The endothelium of allografts, but not that of syngeneic grafts or normal controls, also reacted with the L-selectin-immunoglobulin G fusion protein, giving further proof of inducible L-selectin counterreceptors. The lymphocyte adhesion to endothelium could be significantly decreased either by treating the lymphocytes with anti-L-selectin antibody HRL-1, or by treating the tissue sections with sialidase or anti-sLea or anti-sLex monoclonal antibodies. Finally, we synthetized enzymatically several members of the sLex family oligosaccharides and analyzed their ability to block lymphocyte adhesion to cardiac endothelium. The monovalent sLex (a tetramer), divalent sLex (a decamer), and tetravalent sLex (a 22-mer) could all significantly reduce lymphocyte binding, but the inhibition by the tetravalent sLex-construct was clearly superior to other members of the sLex family. The crucial control oligosaccharides, sialyl lactosamines lacking fucose but being otherwise similar to the members of sLex family, had no effect on lymphocyte binding.

Abstract
Rat lymphopoiesis did not develop when naive SCID mice were transplanted with rat fetal liver cells. However, when SCID mice were depleted of NK cells by administration of anti-murine IL-2R beta mAb before transplantation, remarkable reconstitution of both rat T and B cells was observed in these mice without any evidence of graft-versus-host disease macroscopically or histologically. T cells in these reconstituted mice proliferated well in response to Con A and third-party rat and mouse antigens, whereas no response was seen to the stimulation with either donor rat- or host mouse-type cells. When these xenogeneic chimera mice had been immunized with SRBC, these mice exhibited DTH reaction and antibody production against the homologous antigen. These results indicate that rat fetal liver cells can differentiate to functional T and B cells in the xenogeneic microenvironment of SCID mice, if host NK cells are depleted beforehand. These rat-type T cells develop within SCID thymuses and acquire tolerance to either donor F344 rat or host SCID mouse antigens.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Rats with abdominal heterotopic heart transplants were studied to determine whether cardiac allograft rejection could be assessed by immunoscintigraphy targeting intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), which was induced on allografted organ cells in association with rejection. BACKGROUND It is important to detect early rejection before development of myocyte necrosis. Although a variety of methods for the detection of cardiac rejection have been investigated, histologic inspection of biopsied samples is still used routinely for clinical diagnosis of rejection. METHODS DA rat (RT-1a) hearts were transplanted into PVG rats (RT-1c). Immunohistologic examination of the allografts demonstrated that ICAM-1 induction on vascular endothelial cells was observed as early as 4 days after transplantation in this combination. Thirty-nine allografted rats and seven isografted rats were studied. One day after injection of 100 microCi of 111Inlabeled anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody (1A29), planar images were obtained. RESULTS Rejecting allografts showed increased radiotracer uptake and could be identified on the images as early as 5 days after transplantation. In contrast, nonrejecting cardiac allografts and isografts did not show specific uptake. Mildly rejecting allografts, with mononuclear cell infiltration but without significant myocyte necrosis, could be scintigraphically identified, and the level of radiotracer uptake reflected the histologic severity of rejection. Accumulation of 111In-labeled monoclonal antibody of isotype-matched irrelevant specificity was not detected in the rejecting allografts. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that ICAM-1 induction can be assessed quantitatively by radioimmunoscintigraphy. Radioimmunoscitigraphy is a sensitive method for early detection and assessment of cardiac allograft rejection.

Abstract
The IL-2 receptor beta-chain (IL-2R beta), a specificity-determining subunit in the IL-2R complex with a restricted tissue distribution pattern, is essential for signal transduction. Our previous studies demonstrate that the continuous treatment of mice with anti-IL-2R beta resulted in the complete disappearance of NK cells and Thy-1+ dendritic epidermal cells (Thy-1+ dEC), suggesting that signals through IL-2R beta are critically involved in development of these lymphocyte subsets. However, these lymphocyte subsets are reported to be apparently unaffected in the IL-2-deficient mice. To further examine the biological roles of the IL-2R beta, transgenic mice carrying the IL-2R beta transgene were generated. In these mice, high levels of the cell surface expression of the IL-2R beta were observed in essentially all hematopoietic lineage cells, and CD4+ T cells as well as CD8+ T cells showed vigorous cell proliferation upon IL-2 stimulation. Surprisingly, NK cells marked with a high expression of NK1.1 in the spleen and Thy-1+ dEC in the skin were completely absent in transgenic mice. However, the development of other lymphocyte subsets including conventional alpha beta TCR+ cells, gamma delta TCR+ cells and B cells remained apparently intact. From these observations together with previous data on IL-2-deficient mice, we speculate that factors, other than IL-2 that utilizes the IL-2R beta as its functional receptor subunit, may have a vital role in the development of NK cells and Thy-1+ dEC. Implications for possible in vivo functions of over-expressed IL-2R beta are discussed.

Abstract
We obtained the evidence that coadministration in vivo of mAbs against leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) suppressed the progression of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in rats. The suppressive effect in vivo of coadministration of the mAbs during the induction phase was not prominent, but the administration of these mAbs during the effector phase markedly suppressed the progression of clinical illness and prevented the infiltration of encephalitogenic cells into the central nervous system. However, administration of the mAb to LFA-1 alone or ICAM-1 alone did not show such suppressive effects. These findings suggest that LFA-1 and ICAM-1 are critically involved in the development of EAE and that the administration together of mAbs against adhesion molecules including LFA-1 and ICAM-1 might provide a new immunotherapeutic approach for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Intrapulmonary deposition of IgG immune complexes in rats causes acute inflammatory lung injury that is neutrophil, complement, cytokines (IL-1, TNF-alpha), and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) dependent. In the current studies involving the same model of lung injury, complement depletion or complement blockade resulted in substantial reductions in up-regulation of pulmonary vascular ICAM-1, accompanied by reduced lung injury and neutrophil accumulation. Complement depletion neither reduced the amount of immune complex deposited in lung nor the TNF-alpha content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids. In the same model of inflammatory lung injury, neutrophil depletion (which is highly protective) did not affect up-regulation of lung vascular ICAM-1. Up-regulation of lung vascular ICAM-1 by intratracheally administered TNF-alpha was also prevented by complement depletion. These studies indicate an unexpected in vivo relationship between complement and up-regulation of lung vascular ICAM-1.

Abstract
Selectins promote adhesive interactions between leukocytes and activated endothelial cells, the adhesion being mediated by 'counter-receptors' on endothelial cells and consisting of oligosaccharide conjugates containing sialic acid and fucose. There are also suggestions that selectins bind sulfated compounds, including sulfatides. Intravenous infusion of selectin-reactive oligosaccharides has been found to prevent selectin-dependent inflammatory lung injury. In the current studies using two models of neutrophil and selectin-dependent acute lung injury in rats, sulfatide and its modified versions were infused i.v. and the protective effects determined. Naturally occurring sulfatide, synthetic sulfatides and sulfated ganglioside were highly protective against lung injury following systemic activation of complement. Desulfated sulfatide was inactive. The protective effects of synthetic sulfatides required sulfation of galactose in position 3. Sulfatide was also protective in the IgG immune complex model of lung injury. The protective effects of sulfatides were associated with reduced content of myeloperoxidase (derived from neutrophils) in lung tissue. These data indicate that sulfatides have significant in vivo protective effects in neutrophil and selectin-dependent models of lung injury.

Abstract
The transendothelial migration of leukocytes in many inflammatory responses is now believed to be dependent on the interaction of leukocyte and endothelial cell-derived adhesion molecules. To examine the role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in the development of inflammation in a rat model of colitis, we investigated the effects of antibodies to rat ICAM-1 given 24 hrs after inflammation was induced by acetic acid. Antibodies to rat ICAM-1 substantially ameliorated the inflammatory response as indicated by a reduction in gross inflammatory characteristics, tissue/body weight ratio, myeloperoxidase activity and superoxide levels. The results demonstrate that ICAM-1 plays an important role in the development of inflammatory bowel disease in rats. The use of antibodies to ICAM-1 to inhibit the adherence of leukocytes to endothelium, may be of potential therapeutic value in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in man.

Abstract
We studied the effect of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against CD54 (intercellular adhesion molecule-1; ICAM-1) and CD11a (lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1; LFA-1) on the prevention and treatment of endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU). When treated at the time of endotoxin injection the mean number of inflammatory cells infiltrating the eye +/- S.E.M. on histologic sections was 469.2 +/- 51.9 for controls, 13.8 +/- 2.6 for rats receiving anti-ICAM-1 mAb (P < 0.0001), and 195.8 +/- 48.8 for rats receiving anti-LFA-1 mAb (P = 0.0003). When treated after the start of inflammatory disease, the mean number of infiltrating inflammatory cells +/- S.E.M. was 273.0 +/- 30.7 for controls, 6.4 +/- 1.7 for rats receiving anti-ICAM-1 mAb (P < 0.0001), and 54.2 +/- 7.6 for rats receiving anti-LFA-1 mAb (P < 0.0001). The mean number of cells per milliliter of aqueous humor +/- S.E.M. was 1867.6 +/- 321.8 for controls, 21.7 +/- 5.3 for rats receiving anti-ICAM-1 mAb (P < 0.0001), and 295.1 +/- 71.2 for rats receiving anti-LFA-1 mAb (P < 0.0001). MAbs against ICAM-1 and LFA-1 significantly inhibited the development of EIU and were effective in treating clinically evident ocular inflammatory disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Recent evidence suggests an active role of endothelial cells and inflammatory cells in radiation-induced vascular dysfunction and organ damage. The aim of this study was to characterize the endothelial cell-leukocyte interactions, their molecular mechanisms, and the associated microvascular dysfunction in postcapillary venules exposed to ionizing radiation. METHODS Leukocyte rolling, adherence, and emigration and leakage of fluorescein isothiocyanate albumin in rat mesenteric venules were measured in control conditions and at 2, 4, and 6 hours after abdominal irradiation. Some animals were treated with monoclonal antibodies against leukocyte (CD18) or endothelial cell (intercellular adhesion molecule 1, P-selectin) adhesion molecules before radiation and 5 hours thereafter. RESULTS In comparison with controls, irradiated animals had a marked increase in the number of rolling leukocytes at 2 hours after radiation. In animals studied 6 hours after radiation, a significant increment in the number of adherent and emigrated leukocytes was observed. This was associated with an increased permeability to fluorescein isothiocyanate albumin. Treatment with antibodies against either CD18 or intercellular adhesion molecule 1, but not P-selectin, significantly attenuated leukocyte adherence, emigration, and the increase in permeability induced by radiation. CONCLUSIONS Radiation-induced leukocyte adherence and emigration involves an interaction between CD11/CD18 on leukocytes and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 on vascular endothelium. These interactions are implicated in the early increase in vascular permeability after irradiation.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine whether oxidatively modified chylomicrons (oxCM) can elicit leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion in the mesenteric microcirculation and to define the mechanisms underlying the oxCM-induced adhesive interactions. Oxidation of chylomicrons (CM) with the peroxyl radical generator 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)hydrochloride was associated with the formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and lipid hydroperoxides. Leukocyte rolling, adherence, and emigration as well as erythrocyte velocity were monitored in rat mesenteric venules infused with either native CM or oxCM. oxCM, but not native CM, increased the numbers of rolling, adherent, and emigrated leukocytes. The oxCM-induced leukocyte adherence was significantly blunted by pretreating the animals with either superoxide dismutase, a platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist, or monoclonal antibodies (MAb) directed against either CD11/CD18 or intracellular adhesion molecule 1. A MAb against P-selectin reduced oxCM-induced leukocyte rolling but not adherence. These findings suggest that the increased plasma oxCM levels associated with ingestion of oxidized lipids may promote leukocyte adhesion through a mechanism that involves the superoxide anion, PAF, and adhesion receptors on leukocytes and endothelial cells.
