The present study demonstrates that tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and FMLP, but not IL-1 or IL-8, enhanced the adherence of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) to fibronectin, an extracellular matrix protein. The adherence induced by FMLP was very rapid, within 5 min while the induction of adherence by TNF was much slower, reaching maximum at 60 min. TNF also enhanced an adhesion of PMN to other extracellular matrix proteins, such as laminin, collagen IV and gelatin II, but not to human serum albumin. Anti-CD18 MoAb completely inhibited the binding of TNF-stimulated PMN to fibronectin and partially inhibited the binding to laminin. Further investigation showed that adhesion of TNF-stimulated PMN to fibronectin and laminin was inhibited by anti-CD11b MoAb and to a lesser extent by CD11a MoAb. In contrast to TNF-stimulated PMN the binding of unstimulated PMN to fibronectin and laminin was only inhibited by anti-CD11a MoAb. Anti-CD11c had no effect on PMN adherence. These results suggest that unstimulated PMN adhere to extracellular proteins through the CD11a/18, while TNF-stimulated PMN adhere through the CD11b/18. These results suggest that TNF secreted at the site of inflammation may enhance the interaction of PMN with the extravascular environment through the CD11b/18 complex.

The cytokine NAP-1/IL-8 is produced by a variety of different cells in response to inflammatory stimuli and elicits several biological responses from PMN. Experiments presented here demonstrate that PMN exposed to NAP-1/IL-8 expressed increased amounts of CD11b/CD18, as well as CD11c/CD18 and CR1, on their cell surface, while expression of Fc gamma RIII and HLA-A,B,C remained essentially unchanged. Increased CD11b/CD18 and CD11c/CD18 appears to correspond with the release of specific granules by NAP-1/IL-8. NAP-1/IL-8 was also a potent stimulator of several of the binding activities of CD11b/CD18. Ligation of EC3bi by CD11b/CD18 was rapidly enhanced by NAP-1/IL-8, but phagocytosis of the ligated particles was not induced by the agonist. In addition, enhanced binding of EC3bi was observed in the absence of an increase in receptor expression as shown with PMN cytoplasts. NAP-1/IL-8 promoted additional adhesive interactions between CD11b/CD18 and the biosynthetic precursor of LPS, lipid IVa, fibrinogen, and endothelial cells, suggesting that NAP-1/IL-8 may promote leukocyte adhesion in vivo that could lead to recruitment of PMN to sites of tissue inflammation.

Recently, we described the cloning and expression of a human cDNA which is the homologue to P600, a gene transcribed by mouse Th2 clones. Based on its activities on human monocytes and B cells this gene was designated IL-13. In the present study we investigated the effects of IL-13 alone or in combination with IL-4, IFN-gamma, or IL-10 on human monocytes. IL-13 induced significant changes in the phenotype of monocytes. Like IL-4, it enhanced the expression of CD11b, CD11c, CD18, CD29, CD49e (VLA-5), class II MHC, CD13, and CD23, whereas it decreased the expression of CD64, CD32, CD16, and CD14 in a dose-dependent manner. IL-13 induced up-regulation of class II MHC Ag and its down-regulatory effects on CD64, CD32, and CD16 expression were prevented by IL-10. IFN-gamma could also partially prevent the IL-13-induced down-regulation of CD64, but not that of CD32 and CD16. However, IL-13 strongly inhibited spontaneous and IL-10- or IFN-gamma-induced ADCC activity of human monocytes toward anti-D coated Rh+ erythrocytes, indicating that the cytotoxic activity of monocytes was inhibited. Furthermore, IL-13 inhibited production of IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 p35, IL-12 p40, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha, granulocyte/macrophage-CSF, granulocyte-CSF, IFN-alpha, and TNF alpha by monocytes activated with LPS. In contrast, IL-13 enhanced the production of IL-1 ra by these cells. Similar results on cytokine production were observed or have been obtained with IL-4. Thus IL-13 shares most of its activities on human monocytes with IL-4, but no additive or synergistic effects of IL-4 and IL-13 on human monocytes were observed, suggesting that these cytokines may share common receptor components. Taken together, these results indicate that IL-13 has anti-inflammatory and important immunoregulatory activities.

We have compared and quantitated transendothelial migration of neonatal neutrophils (N-PMNs) and adult bovine peripheral-blood PMNs (A-PMNs) in vitro using monolayers of endothelium and a two-chamber apparatus. Bovine aortic endothelial cells were cultured to confluence on polycarbonate filters perforated with 3.0-micron-diameter pores. 51Cr-labeled PMNs were added to the upper chamber, with or without an anti-CD18 antibody (monoclonal antibody 60.3). Chemotactic stimuli in the lower chambers included recombinant human interleukin-8 (rhIL-8; 75 ng/ml), rhC5a (10(-7) M), and zymosan-activated bovine serum (ZAS; 10%). At 60 min incubation with rhIL-8, greater numbers (P < .01) of N-PMNs (24.70 +/- 5.95%) than of A-PMNs (15.77 +/- 3.66%) had migrated across the endothelial barrier, and a similar difference was present at 90 min. Migration rates of N-PMNs and A-PMNs were similar (P > .05) at all time points when using rhC5a and ZAS as stimuli. Anti-CD18 monoclonal antibody significantly decreased migration (P < .01) of both N-PMNs and A-PMNs to low levels when IL-8 and ZAS were used as stimuli. Because leukocyte integrin expression on PMNs affects transendothelial migration, we also compared surface expression of CD18, CD11a, and CD11c on PMNs from the two age groups. We found no significant quantitative differences in integrin expression between PMNs from the two age groups, regardless of whether the PMNs were incubated with buffer alone or with chemotaxins (rhIL-8, rhC5a, ZAS).

To date no hematopoietic progenitors of dendritic Langerhans' cells (DLC), which represent an highly efficient class of antigen presenting cells, have been identified or the cytokines they elaborate have been defined. Here we describe an acute leukemia patient whose blasts (90-96% in peripheral blood and bone marrow) had a phenotype consistent with putative progenitors of DLC. The patient was treated with ara-C and VP-16 but did not achieve remission. The blasts had lobulated nuclei, no cytoplasmic vacuolation or Auer rods and were weakly positive for acid phosphatase and non-specific esterase and negative for PAS, granzyme A, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV, ATPase/ADPase and lysozyme production. The blasts were positive for CD1a, CD4, CD16, CD35, HLADR, HLADQ, CD11b, CD11c, CD14, CD33, CD34, CD11a, CD71, CD19, CD25, IL-2R beta and negative for CD2, CD7, CD8, CD10, CD22, CD56, CD57, surface or cytoplasmic CD3, TCR delta and TCR beta, HTLV-1p19 and P-glycoprotein. On liquid culture with or without 5 x 10(-9) M 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) for 3 days, the blasts formed aggregates of proliferating and elongating cells on the wall of the flasks with a decline in CD34, numerous dendritic processes appeared on the cells and there was strong positivity for ATPase/ADPase, but no other changes in phenotype. No macrophages were observed, indicating derivation from separate DLCs. Cytogenetic analysis showed chromosomal abnormalities and electron microscopy showed Birbeck granules. Southern blotting of DNA showed rearrangement of one allele for both JH and TCR beta but no HTLV-1 related sequences. Culture supernatants from blasts cultured with or without TPA showed the production of large amounts of IL-8, IL-6, TNF-alpha, MIP-1 alpha, IL-10 and interferon gamma and modest amounts of IL-1 alpha, GM-CSF and stem cell factor. The presence not only of CD1a, HLADR, HLADQ and many other characteristics including Birbeck granules, but also differentiation along the lines of DLC with appearance of dendritic processes on the cells and expression of ATPase/ADPase activity, indicate that the leukemic blasts in our patient represented a leukemic counterpart of normal progenitors of DLC and the leukemia a new entity which could possibly be classified as AML-M8. Lastly, many pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by DLC could contribute to inflammation and IL-10 to immunosuppression.

The increasing interest in "warm" aerobic cardioplegia requires a critical reevaluation of the systemic effects of the associated normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). As activated neutrophils seem to be essential mediators of the inflammatory response to CPB via the cytotoxicity of the products that are released during their adhesion to endothelial cells, the authors undertook a study of the influence of temperature on the interaction between the neutrophils and the endothelium in 95 patients undergoing warm (31-33.5 degrees C, n = 49) and cold (26-27 degrees C, n = 46) CPB surgery. Blood sampling was performed before, during and after CPB. The following markers of neutrophil-endocardium interaction were analysed: complement activation (C3a), cytokine production (tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukines 1, 6 and 8, and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist); endothelial expression of cytokine-dependent [intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)] and cytokine-independent (P-selectin) adhesion molecules (P-selectin); expression of cytokine molecules on the surface of polynuclear neutrophils (CD11a, CD11b, CD11c); and finally, endothelial adhesion and transendothelial migration of neutrophils (interleukin 8 and elastase). The results showed that, irrespective of temperature, CPB was associated with changes strongly suggestive of phenomena of transendothelial adhesion and migration. Moreover, normothermia increased the intensity of the inflammatory response as shown by increased cytokine production, earlier expression of neutrophil adhesion molecules and increased elastase production.

The type III-B Fcgamma receptor (FcgammaRIII-B) is a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-linked receptor found on human neutrophils. A soluble form of FcgammaRIII-B (sCD16) corresponding to the extracellular region of the receptor circulates in plasma. In the present work, we have identified membrane receptors for sCD16. Soluble CD16 bound to CR3 (CDllb/CD18)- and CR4 (CDllc/CD18)- positive leukocytes and cell lines, the labeling was inhibited by anti-CD11b, CD11c or CD18 mAbs, and the up-regulation of CR3 and CR4 led to an increased fixation of sCD16. Transfected eukaryotic cells expressing recombinant CD11b/CD18 or CD11c/CD18 heterodimers but not those expressing CD11a/CD18 bound sCD16. Moreover, the lectin-like binding site of CR3 is probably involved in the interaction with sCD16, as suggested by inhibition studies using mAbs against CR3 or sugars such as N-acetyl D-glucosamine, alpha- or beta-methyl D-glucoside, alpha- or beta-methyl D-mannoside, or zymosan. Thus, the complement receptors CR3 and CR4 are membrane receptors for sCD16. Through this interaction, sCD16 induces a CR3-dependent production of IL-6 and IL-8 by monocytes. These results suggest that sCD16 plays a regulatory role in inflammatory processes and provide a molecular basis for the interaction between FcgammaRIII-B and CR3 described on the cell membrane.

A monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for ovine IL-1 beta was produced and, in conjunction with a polyclonal rabbit antiserum, used to develop a sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for ovine interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta). The mAb neutralised the activity of recombinant ovine IL-1 beta (rOvIL-1 beta) and native OvIL-1 in an ovine thymocyte proliferation assay. However, it did not neutralise the biological activity of rOvIL-1 beta in the murine NOB1/CTLL assay. The mAb did not react with rOvIL-1 alpha, IL-2, IL-4, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, gamma-interferon or recombinant human IL-1 beta in indirect EIA. Immunohistological staining of activated alveolar macrophages and frozen lymph node sections sections demonstrated that the mAb detected IL-1 beta secreted by ovine macrophages (CD11c-positive). The EIA was highly sensitive, detecting less than 50 pg ml-1 of rOvIL-1 beta and low levels of native IL-1 beta in supernatants from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages. The EIA did not detect heat-inactivated IL-1 beta.

Fc gamma RIII (CD16), a low affinity FcR which binds IgG-containing immune-complexes, exists under membrane-associated forms and under a soluble form (sFc gamma RIII). The latter, present in biological fluids (serum, saliva), is generated by proteolytic cleavage of the two membrane-associated Fc gamma RIII isoforms, Fc gamma RIII-A (expressed by macrophages and NK cells) and Fc gamma RIII-B (expressed exclusively by neutrophils). Herein we demonstrate that dendritic cells (DCs), generated by culturing monocytes with GM-CSF and IL-4, bind biotinylated recombinant sFc gamma RIII. This binding is specific and involves the complement receptor CR3 (CD11b/CD18) and CR4 (CD11c/CD18). Indeed, preincubation of DCs with anti-CD11b and anti-CD11c mAbs decreased by 52% and 62% respectively the binding with sFc gamma RIII. Moreover, electron microscopy showed that binding of gold-labeled sFc gamma RIII to DCs maintained at 4 degrees C occurred within clathrin-coated pits. Once internalized, at 37 degrees C, sFc gamma RIII entered the endocytic pathway and reached the MHC class II compartments. Furthermore, DCs incubated for 48 h with multivalent sFc gamma RIII expressed increased levels of CD40, CD80, CD86, CD54, CD58, HLA class I and class II molecules and decreased levels of CD23 and CD32. These effects result in an increased capacity of DCs to trigger proliferative responses by CD4+ CD45RA+ allogeneic T cells. RT-PCR amplification demonstrated that incubation of DCs for 20 h in the presence of multivalent sFc gamma RIII induced the appearance of GM-CSF and IL-12 p40 mRNA. Among the cytokines constitutively expressed, IL-1 beta and IL-8 were strongly up-regulated whereas IL-6 and IL-12 p35 mRNA were increased to a lesser extent and the expression of MIP-1 alpha mRNA remained constant. Finally, ELISA tests demonstrated that DCs incubated with multivalent sFc gamma RIII secreted the cytokines IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, GM-CSF and IL-12 p75. Thus, while becoming internalized sFc gamma RIII could affect the capacity of DCs to present antigens and, via the induction of accessory molecules and the release of the IL-12 p75 protein, could initiate Th1 type immune response.

Although recent studies have shown that adhesion molecules on alveolar macrophages are important in a variety of pulmonary diseases, there have been few studies on the phenotypic and functional changes of alveolar macrophages during cardiopulmonary bypass. To investigate the possible role of alveolar macrophages in activating pulmonary immunity during cardiopulmonary bypass, we measured the expression of adhesion molecules on alveolar macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Antigens were stained with monoclonal antibodies against adhesion molecules, and the expression of antigens was quantified by flow cytometry as the ratio of specific to nonspecific linear fluorescence. On alveolar macrophages obtained after the release of aortic cross-clamp, macrophages as compared with alveolar macrophages obtained before cardiopulmonary bypass, there was a significant enhancement of CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, and CD18. In addition, alveolar macrophages, but not peripheral monocytes, produced higher levels of TNF-alpha and IL-8 when they were cultured in vitro. A higher expression of CD11 and CD18 on alveolar macrophages and enhanced production of cytokines after release of the aortic cross-clamp may contribute to immune activation in lung by macrophage-lymphocyte interaction.
