Abstract
Lymphocytes that are responsible for regional (tissue-specific) immunity home from the blood to the intestines, inflamed skin or other sites through a multistep process involving recognition of vascular endothelial cells and extravasation. Chemoattractant cytokine molecules known as chemokines regulate this lymphocyte traffic, in part by triggering arrest (stopping) of lymphocytes rolling on endothelium. Here we show that many systemic memory T cells in blood carry the chemokine receptor CCR4 and therefore respond to its ligands, the chemokines TARC and MDC. These cells include essentially all skin-homing cells expressing the cutaneous lymphocyte antigen and a subset of other systemic memory lymphocytes; however, intestinal (alpha4beta7+) memory and naive T cells respond poorly. Immunohistochemistry reveals anti-TARC reactivity of venules and infiltration of many CCR4+ lymphocytes in chronically inflamed skin, but not in the gastrointestinal lamina propria. Moreover, TARC induces integrin-dependent adhesion of skin (but not intestinal) memory T cells to the cell-adhesion molecule ICAM-1, and causes their rapid arrest under physiological flow. Our results suggest that CCR4 and TARC are important in the recognition of skin vasculature by circulating T cells and in directing lymphocytes that are involved in systemic as opposed to intestinal immunity to their target tissues.

Abstract
Chemokines direct tissue invasion by specific leukocyte populations. Thus, chemokines may play a role in multiple sclerosis (MS), an idiopathic disorder in which the central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory reaction is largely restricted to mononuclear phagocytes and T cells. We asked whether specific chemokines were expressed in the CNS during acute demyelinating events by analyzing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), whose composition reflects the CNS extracellular space. During MS attacks, we found elevated CSF levels of three chemokines that act toward T cells and mononuclear phagocytes: interferon-gamma-inducible protein of 10 kDa (IP-10); monokine induced by interferon-gamma (Mig); and regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES). We then investigated whether specific chemokine receptors were expressed by infiltrating cells in demyelinating MS brain lesions and in CSF. CXCR3, an IP-10/Mig receptor, was expressed on lymphocytic cells in virtually every perivascular inflammatory infiltrate in active MS lesions. CCR5, a RANTES receptor, was detected on lymphocytic cells, macrophages, and microglia in actively demyelinating MS brain lesions. Compared with circulating T cells, CSF T cells were significantly enriched for cells expressing CXCR3 or CCR5. Our results imply pathogenic roles for specific chemokine-chemokine receptor interactions in MS and suggest new molecular targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Eotaxin is a newly discovered C-C chemokine which preferentially attracts and activates eosinophil leukocytes by acting specifically on its receptor CCR3. The airway inflammation characteristic of asthma is believed to be, at least in part, the result of eosinophil-dependent tissue injury. This study was designed to determine whether there is increased expression of eotaxin and CCR3 in the bronchial mucosa of asthmatics and whether this is associated with disease severity. The major sources of eotaxin and CCR3 mRNA were determined by co-localization experiments. Bronchial mucosal biopsy samples were obtained from atopic asthmatics and normal non-atopic controls. Eotaxin and CCR3 mRNA were identified in tissue sections by in situ hybridization (ISH) using radiolabeled riboprobes and their protein product visualized by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Co-localization experiments were performed by double ISH/IHC. Eotaxin and CCR3 (mRNA and protein) were significantly elevated in atopic asthmatics compared with normal controls. In the asthmatics there was a highly significant inverse correlation between eotaxin mRNA+ cells and the histamine provocative concentration causing a 20% fall in FEV1 (PC20). Cytokeratin-positive epithelial cells and CD31+ endothelial cells were the major source of eotaxin mRNA whereas CCR3 co-localized predominantly to eosinophils. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that damage to the bronchial mucosa in asthma involves secretion of eotaxin by epithelial and endothelial cells resulting in eosinophil infiltration mediated via CCR3. Since selective (eotaxin) and non-selective C-C chemokines such as RANTES, MCP-3 and MCP-4 all stimulate eosinophils via CCR3, this receptor is potentially a prime therapeutic target in the spectrum of diseases involving eosinophil-mediated tissue damage.

Abstract
Mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) is an adhesion protein expressed on endothelium in mucosal tissues that has been shown to play an important role in the selective homing of lymphocytes to intestinal mucosa and associated lymphoid tissue. To determine whether MAdCAM-1 or its ligand alpha 4 beta 7 would be appropriate targets for therapeutic intervention in gut-associated inflammation, we tested the ability of rat mAbs specific for beta 7 integrin and MAdCAM-1 to inhibit chronic colonic inflammation in scid mice reconstituted with CD4+ T cells enriched for the CD45RBhigh subpopulation. Abs specific for beta 7 and MAdCAM-1 blocked recruitment of lymphocytes to the colitic colon, and more importantly, these Abs significantly reduced the severity of colonic inflammatory disease in this animal model. Therefore, the adhesive interactions mediated by alpha 4 beta 7 and MAdCAM are intimately involved in leukocyte recruitment to gut in chronic inflammatory disease and may be relevant therapeutic targets for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
This retrospective study characterized the recurring ventricular arrhythmias with an electrogram-storing defibrillator in survivors of sudden cardiac death who had no inducible sustained ventricular arrhythmias at baseline electrophysiologic testing (EPS). The study group was composed of 24 selected patients with documented ventricular fibrillation (VF) without need of revascularization or chronic antiarrhythmic therapy. The EPS protocol usually consisted of three extrastimuli at two drive cycles at two right ventricular sites. Nonischemic cardiomyopathy was the most frequent structural abnormality (n = 11) followed by coronary artery disease (n = 7). The mean ejection fraction was 0.37 +/- 0.13. Cardiac status did not appear to change during a mean follow-up period of 16.4 +/- 12.5 months, and eight (33%) patients received appropriate shocks in that time period. On the basis of intracardiac electrograms, 7 (88%) patients experienced VF and 1 (12%) patient had ventricular tachycardia as the first recurring arrhythmia. Four patients had additional recurrences and all were VF episodes. VF was usually present from the onset of the arrhythmia. In addition, 9 (38%) patients had nonsustained ventricular arrhythmias that were solely VF in 6 (67%). In conclusion, VF of sudden onset was the most frequent recurring sustained ventricular arrhythmia in this group.

Abstract
This study investigated whether data available after the initial electrophysiologic study in patients with sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia could identify those patients in whom serial drug testing is likely to be efficacious. One hundred six patients with inducible sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia, whose initial study included short-term drug testing with intravenous procainamide, were evaluated. The baseline arrhythmia induced (in the absence of all antiarrhythmic drugs) was monomorphic tachycardia with a cycle length greater than 200 ms in 81 patients and ventricular flutter or fibrillation in the remaining 25 patients. After intravenous infusion of procainamide (1,250 +/- 300 mg), a ventricular tachyarrhythmia could still be induced in 80 patients during testing with up to three extrastimuli. Serial drug testing with one to four trials of oral conventional and investigational agents was then undertaken. Evaluation of 15 clinical, hemodynamic and electrophysiologic variables by stepwise logistic regression identified two independent predictors of successful response to oral antiarrhythmic drugs: 1) noninducibility of ventricular tachycardia after intravenous procainamide (p less than 0.001), and 2) left ventricular ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40% (p less than 0.05). Subgroup analysis combining each of these variables identified patients with a high, intermediate or low probability of finding a successful oral drug regimen. Patients whose arrhythmia was suppressed by intravenous procainamide had a 100% likelihood (if left ventricular ejection fraction was greater than or equal to 40%) or an 87% likelihood (if ejection fraction was less than 40%) of responding to an oral regimen.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
