Abstract
Allergic inflammation is an immune response to foreign antigens, which begins within minutes of exposure to the allergen followed by a late phase leading to chronic inflammation. Prolonged allergic inflammation manifests in diseases such as urticaria and rhino-conjunctivitis, as well as chronic asthma and life-threatening anaphylaxis. The prevalence of allergic diseases is profound with 25% of the worldwide population affected and a rising trend across all ages, gender, and racial groups. The identification and avoidance of allergens can manage this disease, but this is not always possible with triggers being common foods, prevalent air-borne particles and only extremely low levels of allergen exposure required for sensitization. Patients who are sensitive to multiple allergens require prophylactic and symptomatic treatments. Current treatments are often suboptimal and associated with adverse effects, such as the interruption of cognition, sleep cycles, and endocrine homeostasis, all of which affect quality of life and are a financial burden to society. Clearly, a better therapeutic approach for allergic diseases is required. Herein, we review the current knowledge of allergic inflammation and discuss the role of sphingolipids as potential targets to regulate inflammatory development in vivo and in humans. We also discuss the benefits and risks of using sphingolipid inhibitors.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are inflammatory diseases of the lung where a hallmark feature is excessive leukocyte infiltration that leads to tissue injury. Cell adhesion molecules (e.g. selectins and integrins) play a key role in cell trafficking, and in the lung they regulate leukocyte extravasation, migration within the interstitium, cellular activation, and tissue retention. All selectin family members (including L-selectin, P-selectin, and E-selectin) and many of the beta1 and beta2 integrins appear to be important therapeutic targets, as numerous animal studies have demonstrated essential roles for these cell adhesion molecules in lung inflammation. Not surprisingly, these families of adhesion molecules have been under intense investigation by the pharmaceutical industry for the development of novel therapeutics. Integrins are validated drug targets, as drugs that antagonize integrin alphaIIbbeta3 (e.g. abciximab), integrin alphaLbeta2 (efalizumab), and integrin alpha4beta1 (natalizumab) are currently US FDA-approved for acute coronary syndromes, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis, respectively. However, none has been approved for indications related to asthma or COPD. Here, we provide an overview of roles played by selectins and integrins in lung inflammation. We also describe recent clinical results (both failures and successes) in developing adhesion molecule antagonists, with specific emphasis on those targets that may have potential benefit in asthma and COPD. Early clinical trials using selectin and integrin antagonists have met with limited success. However, recent positive phase II clinical trials with a small-molecule selectin antagonist (bimosiamose) and a small-molecule integrin alpha4beta1 antagonist (valategrast [R411]), have generated enthusiastic anticipation that novel strategies to treat asthma and COPD may be forthcoming.

Abstract
The leucocyte expressed surface-bound L-selectin belongs to the selectin family of adhesion molecules. It exhibits adhesive as well as signalling functions. Mainly, it is of importance in lymphocyte homing and in the extravasation of leucocytes into the surrounding tissue during inflammation. Acting in the initial step of the cell adhesion cascade, L-selectin is responsible for the rolling of leucocytes on endothelial layers. Therefore, L-selectin is thought to be an adequate target for pharmacological interventions. Beneath the discussion of the molecules' general features like molecule structure and its regulation, the review focuses firstly on L-selectin in the context of posttraumatic inflammatory disorders, and secondly on the importance of L-selectin specific signalling events.

Abstract
Although reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium is an absolute necessity to salvage tissue from eventual death, it is also associated with pathologic changes that represent either an acceleration of processes initiated during ischemia or new pathophysiological changes that were initiated after reperfusion. This so-called "reperfusion injury" is accompanied by a marked inflammatory reaction, which contributes to tissue injury. In addition to the well known role of oxygen free radicals and white blood cells, activation of the complement system probably represents one of the major contributors of the inflammatory reaction upon reperfusion. The complement may be activated through three different pathways: the classical, the alternative, and the lectin pathway. During reperfusion, complement may be activated by exposure to intracellular components such as mitochondrial membranes or intermediate filaments. Two elements of the activated complement contribute directly or indirectly to damages: anaphylatoxins (C3a and C5a) and the membrane attack complex (MAC). C5a, the most potent chemotactic anaphylatoxin, may attract neutrophils to the site of inflammation, leading to superoxide production, while MAC is deposited over endothelial cells and smooth vessel cells, leading to cell injury. Experimental evidence suggests that tissue salvage may be achieved by inhibition of the complement pathway. As the complement is composed of a cascade of proteins, it provides numerous sites for pharmacological interventions during acute myocardial infarction. Although various strategies aimed at modulating the complement system have been tested, the ideal approach probably consists of maintaining the activity of C3 (a central protein of the complement cascade) and inhibiting the later events implicated in ischemia/reperfusion and also in targeting inhibition in a tissue-specific manner.

Abstract
Expression of endothelial and leukocyte cell adhesion molecules is a principal determinant of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) recruitment during inflammation. It has been demonstrated that pharmacological inhibition of these molecules can attenuate PMN influx and subsequent tissue injury. We determined the temporal expression of alpha-granule membrane protein-40 (P-selectin), endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule 1 (E-selectin), and intercellular cell adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) after coronary artery occlusion and up to 3 days of reperfusion. The expression of all of these cell adhesion molecules peaked around 24 h of reperfusion. We determined the extent to which these molecules contribute to PMN infiltration by utilizing mice deficient (-/-) in P-selectin, E-selectin, ICAM-1, and CD18. Each group underwent 30 min of in vivo, regional, left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion. PMN accumulation in the ischemic-reperfused (I/R) zone was assessed using histological techniques. Deficiencies of P-selectin, E-selectin, ICAM-1, or CD18 resulted in significant (P < 0.05) attenuation of PMN infiltration into the I/R myocardium (MI/R). In addition, P-selectin, E-selectin, ICAM-1, and CD18 -/- mice exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) smaller areas of necrosis after MI/R compared with wild-type mice. These data demonstrate that MI/R induces coronary vascular expression of P-selectin, E-selectin, and ICAM-1 in mice. Furthermore, genetic deficiency of P-selectin, E-selectin, ICAM-1, or CD18 attenuates PMN sequestration and myocardial injury after in vivo MI/R. We conclude that P-selectin, E-selectin, ICAM-1, and CD18 are involved in the pathogenesis of MI/R injury in mice.

Abstract
Recently, the selectin family of glycoprotein adhesion molecules (P-selectin, E-selectin, and L-selectin) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory disease states. The selectins modulate the early adhesive interactions between circulating neutrophils and the endothelium. Both P-selectin and E-selectin can be expressed on the surface of endothelial cells following stimulation by a number of inflammatory mediators. In contrast, L-selectin is constitutively expressed on the surface of neutrophils at very high levels. In addition, neutrophils also express ligands for the endothelial selectins, including the carbohydrate sialyl Lewis(x) and the high-affinity ligand P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1, which facilitate neutrophil-endothelial interactions. Selectins have been extensively investigated in ischemia/reperfusion injury states. The study of selectin involvement in ischemia/reperfusion injury has been facilitated by the development of highly specific selectin antagonists, including monoclonal antibodies, carbohydrates, small molecule inhibitors, and soluble forms of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1. This article reviews the results of current studies of selectin antagonists in experimental models of ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The initial step in the inflammatory process, which can be initiated by cardiopulmonary bypass and by ischemia/reperfusion, is mediated by interactions between selectins on endothelial cells and on neutrophils. We studied the effects of selectin blockade using a novel Sialyl Lewis X analog (CY-1503) on recovery after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in a piglet model. METHODS Twelve Yorkshire piglets were subjected to cardiopulmonary bypass, 30 minutes of cooling, 100 minutes of circulatory arrest at 15 degrees C, and 40 minutes of rewarming. Five animals received a bolus of 60 mg/kg of CY-1503 and an infusion (3 mg/kg per hour) for 24 hours from reperfusion (group O), and 7 randomly selected control piglets received saline solution (group C). Body weight and total body water content were evaluated 3 hours and 24 hours after reperfusion by a bio-impedance technique. Neurologic recovery of animals was evaluated daily by neurologic deficit score (0 = normal, 500 = brain death) and overall performance categories (1 = normal, 5 = brain death). The brain was fixed in situ on the fourth postoperative day and examined by histologic score (0 = normal, 5+ = necrosis) in a blinded fashion. RESULTS Two of 7 animals in group C died. The neurologic deficit score was significantly lower in group O than in group C (postoperative day 1, P <.001; postoperative day 2, P =.02). The overall performance category was significantly lower in group O than in group C on postoperative day 2 (P =.01). Percentage total body water after cardiopulmonary bypass was significantly higher in group C than in group O (P =.03). Histologic score tended to be higher in group C than in group O, but this difference did not reach statistical significance (group O = 0.5 +/- 0.7; group C = 1.3 +/- 1.off CONCLUSION Blockade of selectin adhesion molecules by saturation with a Sialyl Lewisx analog accelerates recovery after 100 minutes of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in a piglet survival model.

Abstract
We investigated in vivo coronary P-selectin expression and its pathophysiological consequences in a murine model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) using wild-type and P-selectin deficient (-/-) mice. Coronary P-selectin expression [microgram monoclonal antibody (MAb)/g tissue] was measured using a radiolabeled MAb method after 30 min of myocardial ischemia and 20 min of reperfusion. P-selectin expression in wild-type mice was significantly (P < 0. 01) elevated in the ischemic zone (0.070 +/- 0.010) compared with the nonischemic zone (0.037 +/- 0.008). Myocardial P-selectin expression was nearly undetectable in P-selectin -/- mice after MI/R. Furthermore, myocardial infarct size (% of area at risk) after 30 min of myocardial ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion was 42.5 +/- 4. 4 in wild-type mice and 24.4 +/- 4.0 in P-selectin -/- mice (P < 0. 05). In additional experiments of prolonged myocardial ischemia (60 min) and reperfusion (120 min), myocardial infarct size was similar in P-selectin -/- mice and wild-type mice. Our results clearly demonstrate the involvement of coronary P-selectin in the development of myocardial infarction after MI/R.

Abstract
The role of P-selectin and the ligands of selectins such as sialyl Lewis X and sulfatide was studied in a myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury model. Anesthetized rabbits underwent the occlusion of coronary artery (30 min) followed by reperfusion (5 h). The inhibitory effect on myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury was examined with infarct size normalized by area-at-risk. Intravenous administration of an anti-P-selectin monoclonal antibody, PB1.3 (2 mg/kg), reduced infarct size by 38%. Similarly, the administration of sialyl Lewis X-oligosaccharide (10 mg/kg) reduced infarct size by 53% significantly. Finally, the infarct size was significantly reduced bv 39% in sulfatide-treated group (10 mg/kg). These results suggest that P-selectin plays an important role in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury and that the ligands of selectins, such as sialyl Lewis X-oligosaccharide and sulfatide, have cardioprotective effect on myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions are known to be mediated by specific cell adhesion receptors expressed on the cell surface. The characterization of these cell adhesion molecules has allowed researchers to examine their roles in a variety of physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. Numerous studies have demonstrated that myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is an acute inflammatory process in which leukocytes are intimately involved. In this review, we summarize the current data on the leukocyte cell adhesion cascade, focus upon studies which have demonstrated specific cell adhesion molecule interactions which mediate the leukocyte involvement in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and suggest future avenues of exploration and possible clinical implications of the studies reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: This study was designed to examine the role of P-selectin expression in leukocyte adhesion to endothelium caused by inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Rat aortic rings were treated with the nitric oxide synthesis inhibitor N(omicron)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) for 2 hours. Parallel sets of aortic rings were pretreated with the nitric oxide precursor l-arginine or posttreated with a specific monoclonal antibody against P-selectin. Some rings were used for determination of vasoreactivity in response to norepinephrine and acetylcholine, while other rings were incubated with autologous unlabeled leukocytes or Biotin-FITC labeled leukocytes for 30 minutes. Leukocyte adhesion to vascular endothelium was determined by scanning electron microscopy. l-NAME enhanced the contractile response in response to norepinephrine, suppressed the relaxant response to acetyleholine, promoted leukocyte adherence to the endothelium and resulted in P-selectin expression on the aortic endothelium. Pretreatment of aortic rings with l-arginine reversed the l-NAME-mediated changes in vasoreactivity in response to norepinephrine and acetyleholine and attenuated the l-NAME-enhanced leukocyte adhesion to endothelial intima. P-selectin treatment, on the other hand, had no effect on l-NAME-mediated changes. Intraperitoneal administration of l-NAME resulted in a significant decrease in plasma nitrite level, a small, but significant, increase in lung and spleen myeloperoxidase activity, and a significant increase in leukocyte deposition in lung and spleen. The l-NAME-mediated increase in myeloperoxidase activity and leukocyte deposition in the spleen, but not in the lungs, was abolished by treatment of rats with the P-selectin antagonist CY1503 administered 30 minutes prior to l-NAME. CONCLUSIONS: These observations indicate that a reduction in nitric oxide synthesis enhances leukocyte adhesion to aortic endothelium and in visceral tissues. While P-selectin expression is evident in some of the experimental models of leukocyte adhesion to endothelium under conditions of nitric oxide inhibition, the role of P-selectin expression remains unclear.
