Significant levels of cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC) were found in serum-free medium conditioned by a highly metastatic rat cell line, RC20. To study CINC's role in inflammation and metastasis, CINC was purified from this source for use in in vitro assays and for antibody production in goats and rabbits. CINC was a potent chemoattractant for rat neutrophils (EC-50 0.5 nM). A fusion protein of glutathione-S-transferase and CINC (GST-CINC) was produced in E. coli. Anti-CINC polyclonal IgG was purified from immune goat and rabbit sera by protein A and GST-CINC affinity chromatography. Both goat and rabbit anti-CINC antibody preparations at 4 μg/mL (an 11-fold molar excess) were found to completely block the activity of 2.5 nM CINC in a rat neutrophil chemotaxis assay. These antibodies have been used to develop a sensitive immunoassay for CINC. The availability of large amounts of affinity-purified blocking anti-CINC antibody will allow investigations into the role played by CINC in rodent inflammation models and in the metastasis of RC20 cells. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

In view of a cytoprotective effect of elastase inhibitor on chemokine-mediated tissue injury, we examined the neuroprotective effect of ONO-5046, a specific inhibitor of neutrophil elastase, in rats with spinal cord injury. Standardized spinal cord compression markedly increased cytokine-induced neutrophil chemo-attractant (CINC)-1 mRNA and protein. Their increases correlated with neurologic severity of injured rats. Immunohistochemically, CINC-1 protein was detected sequentially in vascular endothelial cells at 4 h, in perivascular neutrophils at 8 h, and in neutrophils infiltrating into cord substance at 12 h. Pretreatment with ONO-5046 (50 mg/kg) markedly ameliorated motor disturbance in injured rats, and reduced CINC-1 protein and mRNA expression. ONO-5046 also significantly reduced the increase of neutrophil accumulation or infiltration estimated by myeloperoxidase activity, and the extent of vascular permeability by Evans blue extravasation in the injured cord segment in comparison to control animals receiving vehicle. These results suggest that CINC-1 contributed to inflammation in rat spinal cord injury and ONO-5046 attenuated neurologic damage partly by blocking CINC-1 production of the chemoattractant, preventing neutrophil activation and vascular endothelial cell injury. 相似文献

The mechanism of alcohol-mediated increased infection in burn patients remains unknown. With the use of a rat model of acute alcohol and burn injury, the present study ascertained whether acute alcohol exposure before thermal injury enhances gut bacterial translocation. On day 2 postinjury, we found a severalfold increase in gut bacterial translocation in rats receiving both alcohol and burn injury compared with the animals receiving either injury alone. Whereas there were no demonstrable changes in intestinal morphology in any group of animals, a significant increase in intestinal permeability was observed in ethanol- and burn-injured rats compared with the rats receiving either injury alone. We further examined the role of intestinal immune defense by determining the gut-associated lymphoid (Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes) T cell effector responses 2 days after alcohol and burn injury. Although there was a decrease in the proliferation and interferon-gamma by gut lymphoid T cells after burn injury alone; the suppression was maximum in the group of rats receiving both alcohol and burn injuries. Furthermore, the depletion of CD3(+) cells in healthy rats resulted in bacterial accumulation in mesenteric lymph nodes; such CD3(+) cell depletion in alcohol- and burn-injured rats furthered the spread of bacteria to spleen and circulation. In conclusion, our data suggest that the increased intestinal permeability and a suppression of intestinal immune defense in rats receiving alcohol and burn injury may cause an increase in bacterial translocation and their spread to extraintestinal sites. 相似文献

Previous studies showed that alcohol (EtOH) intoxication before burn injury suppresses mesenteric lymph node (MLN) T cell functions and increases gut bacterial translocation. In this study, we examined whether corticosterone (Cort) plays any role in suppressing MLN T cell function and bacterial accumulation after EtOH intoxication and burn injury. Rats were gavaged with EtOH to achieve a blood EtOH level of approximately 100 mg/dl before receiving 25% total body surface area burn or sham injury. A group of rats was treated with the Cort synthesis inhibitor metyrapone (25 mg/kg) at the time of injury and on day 1 after injury. Two days after injury, a significant increase in blood Cort levels and suppression of MLN T cell proliferation and IL-2 production was observed in rats receiving combined insult of EtOH intoxication and burn injury compared with rats receiving EtOH intoxication or burn injury alone. There was no change in T cell apoptosis after combined insult of EtOH and burn injury. Furthermore, T cell suppression was accompanied by a significant decrease in p38 and ERK1/2 activation (phosphorylation). There was no difference in JNK activation after EtOH and burn injury. Treatment of rats with metyrapone prevented the suppression of MLN T cell proliferation, IL-2 production, and p38 and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Restoration of T cell function in metyrapone-treated animals was also associated with the decrease in bacterial accumulation in MLN. These findings suggest that EtOH intoxication before burn injury augments Cort release, which suppresses MLN T cell function by inhibiting p38 and ERK1/2 activation and promotes bacterial accumulation in MLN after EtOH and burn injury. 相似文献

Mesenteric lymphoblasts (MLN) have a predilection to selectively localize in the lamina propria and epithelium of the small intestine. Using an adoptive transfer method, we examined the localization kinetics of these blasts in the intestinal wall with respect to their distribution from duodenum to terminal ileum and also assessed their mitotic activity by autoradiographic techniques. 3H-thymidine-labelled MLN cells were found throughout the small intestine by 6 hr post-transfer and reached a maximum frequency in this organ by 24 hr post-transfer. Donor blasts were most frequent in the duodenum and terminal ileum regions of the gut. Subsequently, the frequency of labelled cells throughout the intestinal wall declined to near zero. The apparent accumulation of MLN blasts in the gut was not related to either a temporary retention and departure from the pulmonary vasculature or to mitotic division of labelled cells in the gut wall. A model describing the relationship between MLN blast localization kinetics in various segments of the intestine was formulated. 相似文献

The CXC chemokines cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC) and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) are potent neutrophil chemoattractants in rats. We have previously shown that CINC, unlike MIP-2 and most other proinflammatory cytokines, is elevated in the systemic circulation in response to an intratracheal (IT) challenge. Therefore, we hypothesized that CINC generated within the lung selectively enters the vascular compartment to facilitate pulmonary neutrophil recruitment. Rats were administered IT LPS, and plasma CINC and MIP-2 levels were measured 90 min and 4 h after injection, along with mRNA expression in lung, spleen, liver, and kidney. Ninety minutes and 4 h after IT LPS, CINC and MIP-2 mRNA expression were largely confined to lung homogenate, but of the two chemokines, only CINC was present in plasma. In separate experiments, rats received IT injections of recombinant CINC and/or MIP-2. Here, plasma levels of CINC, but not MIP-2, were significantly increased throughout the 4-h observation period. This finding was verified by individually administering (125)I-labeled forms of each chemokine. Instillation of recombinant MIP-2 or CINC into the lung increased the number of neutrophils recovered in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid at 4 h, and this effect was enhanced when both chemokines were administered together. In addition, intravenous (IV) CINC, but not IV MIP-2, increased pulmonary neutrophil recruitment in response to IT MIP-2. Our results show that CINC, in contrast to MIP-2, is selectively transported from the lung to the systemic circulation, where it promotes neutrophil migration into the lung in response to a chemotactic stimulus. 相似文献

Opiates are among the most prescribed drugs for pain management. However, morphine use or abuse results in significant gut bacterial translocation and predisposes patients to serious infections with gut origin. The mechanism underlying this defect is still unknown. In this report, we investigated the mechanisms underlying compromised gut immune function and bacterial translocation following morphine treatment. We demonstrate significant bacterial translocation to mesenteric lymph node (MLN) and liver following morphine treatment in wild-type (WT) animals that was dramatically and significantly attenuated in Toll-like receptor (TLR2 and 4) knockout mice. We further observed significant disruption of tight junction protein organization only in the ileum but not in the colon of morphine treated WT animals. Inhibition of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) blocked the effects of both morphine and TLR ligands, suggesting the role of MLCK in tight junction modulation by TLR. This study conclusively demonstrates that morphine induced gut epithelial barrier dysfunction and subsequent bacteria translocation are mediated by TLR signaling and thus TLRs can be exploited as potential therapeutic targets for alleviating infections and even sepsis in morphine-using or abusing populations. 相似文献

Using transmission and scanning electron microscopy, the early migration of juvenile Fasciola hepatica was examined in naive and resistant rats. In naive rats, the migration of flukes to the peritoneal cavity was uneventful. In resistant rats, flukes were rapidly coated with antibody whilst still in the gut lumen and a proportion of the flukes were unable to penetrate the intestinal wall. Those that did penetrate were unharmed as they crossed the gut wall, but on entering the peritoneal cavity they were coated with antibody and host cells including eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, and mast cells. Eosinophils were seen degranulating onto the fluke surface, and this appeared to result in the erosion of the tegumental syncytium. 相似文献

Adrenomedullin (AM), an endogenous peptide, has been shown to have a variety of protective effects on the cardiovascular system. However, the effect of AM on acute lung injury remains unknown. Accordingly, we investigated whether AM infusion ameliorates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury in rats. Rats were randomized to receive continuous intravenous infusion of AM (0.1 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) or vehicle through a microosmotic pump. The animals were intratracheally injected with either LPS (1 mg/kg) or saline. At 6 and 18 h after intratracheal instillation, we performed histological examination and bronchoalveolar lavage and assessed the lung wet/dry weight ratio as an index of acute lung injury. Then we measured the numbers of total cells and neutrophils and the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). In addition, we evaluated BALF total protein and albumin levels as indexes of lung permeability. LPS instillation caused severe acute lung injury, as indicated by the histological findings and the lung wet/dry weight ratio. However, AM infusion attenuated these LPS-induced abnormalities. AM decreased the numbers of total cells and neutrophils and the levels of TNF-alpha and CINC in BALF. AM also reduced BALF total protein and albumin levels. In addition, AM significantly suppressed apoptosis of alveolar wall cells as indicated by cleaved caspase-3 staining. In conclusion, continuous infusion of AM ameliorated LPS-induced acute lung injury in rats. This beneficial effect of AM on acute lung injury may be mediated by inhibition of inflammation, hyperpermeability, and alveolar wall cell apoptosis. 相似文献

Consumption of red wine has been associated with health promotion and disease prevention. We have previously found that the intestine of zinc-deficient (ZD) rats develop oxidative damage associated with inflammation. Here we have used this model to investigate whether red wine polyphenols could protect against intestinal injury and, if so, whether this protection was achieved through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. The intestinal alterations induced by zinc deficiency such as morphological damage, increased TBA-RS level and CuZn-superoxide dismutase activity, and decreased glutathione peroxidase activity, did not develop with the administration to ZD rats of a suspension of dealcoholated red wine (RWS). The same treatment induced in control rats a decrease of TBA-RS level but also of glutathione peroxidase and catalase activity. Treatment with RWS to ZD rats prevented a marked mucosal macrophage and neutrophil infiltration. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC), was induced by zinc deficiency, whereas that of the anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 was suppressed. Treatment with RWS reduced CINC expression. These results report a novel activity of red wine polyphenols in downregulation of intestinal CINC expression, which likely protects cells against inflammatory processes. 相似文献

Objective: To observe the ultrastructural change of the route of gut bacterial translocation in a rat with spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods: Forty Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: control group and 3 SCI groups(10 in each group). The rats in the SCI groups were established SCI model at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after SCI. Small intestine mucous membrane tissue was identified and assayed by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope and immunofluorescence microscopy. Results: Small intestine mucous membrane tissue in control group was not damaged significantly, but those in SCI groups were damaged significantly. Proliferation bacteria in gut lumen attached on microvilli. The extracellular bacteria torn the intestinal barrier and perforated into the small intestinal mucosal epithelial cell. The bacteria and a lot of particles of the seriously damaged region penetrated into the lymphatic system and the blood system directly. Some bacteria were internalized into the goblet cell through the apical granule. Some bacteria and particles perforated into the submucosa of the M cell running the long axis of M cells through the tight junctions. In the microcirculation of mucosa, the bacteria that had already broken through the microvilli into blood circulation swim accompanying with erythrocytes. Conclusion: The routes of bacterial translocation interact and format a vicious circle. At early step, the transcellular pathway of bacterial translocation is major. Following with the destroyed small intestine mucous, the routes of bacterial translocation through the lymphatic system and the blood system become direct pathways. The goblet cell-dendritic cell and M cell pathway also play an important role in the bacterial translocation. 相似文献

Intravascular LPS rapidly induces neutrophil sequestration in pulmonary capillaries by mechanisms that, although currently unknown, must take into account the size difference between the neutrophil and capillary diameter. To determine whether LPS alters neutrophil stiffness, and hence the ability of neutrophils to traverse capillaries, neutrophil passage through pulmonary capillaries was modeled by passage through filters with 6.5-microns pores. LPS increased retention in the pores in a concentration-dependent fashion that required the presence of heat-inactivated platelet-poor plasma, and was evident as early as 10 min after stimulation. The effect of LPS on the structural properties of the neutrophil was then studied. LPS induced f-actin reorganization in neutrophils in the presence of plasma. Disruption of actin organization and assembly with cytochalasin D completely inhibited early LPS-induced retention and attenuated retention at later timepoints, indicating that LPS-stimulated retention depends on filament organization. LPS-induced actin assembly and retention were abrogated by an antibody directed against CD14, a putative LPS receptor. CD18-dependent adherence of neutrophils contributed significantly to retention only at later timepoints with no significant contribution to retention at 20 min as determined by inhibition of adherence with the mAb 60.3. Morphometric assessment of neutrophil accumulation in the lungs of rabbits given 1 microgram LPS showed a marked increase in apparent neutrophil number, which was unaltered by antibodies to CD18, suggesting that mechanisms other than adhesion may account for accumulation in vivo. Direct measurements showed that neutrophil stiffness increased with exposure to LPS in a fashion similar to LPS-induced retention and actin organization. Pretreatment of neutrophils with cytochalasin D attenuated the increased stiffness. These data suggest that reorganization of filamentous-actin induced by LPS leads to cell stiffening and retention in capillary-sized pores. Although the organization of f-actin continues to be important in retention at later time points, adherence of cells also contributes significantly to cell retention. The changes in mechanical properties of the neutrophil may be important in the sequestration of neutrophils in pulmonary capillaries noted in endotoxemia. 相似文献

Intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is encountered in various clinical conditions and contributes to multiorgan failure and mortality as high as 60% to 80%. Intestinal I/R not only injures the intestine, but affects remote organs such as the lung leading to acute lung injury. The development of novel and effective therapies for intestinal I/R are critical for the improvement of patient outcome. AICAR (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxyamide ribonucleoside) is a cell-permeable compound that has been shown to possess antiinflammatory effects. The objective is to determine that treatment with AICAR attenuates intestinal I/R injury and subsequent acute lung injury (ALI). Male Sprague Dawley rats (275 to 325 g) underwent intestinal I/R injury with blockage of the superior mesenteric artery for 90 min and subsequent reperfusion. At the initiation of reperfusion, vehicle or AICAR (30 mg/kg BW) was given intravenously (IV) for 30 min. At 4 h after reperfusion, blood and tissues were collected for further analyses. Treatment with AICAR significantly decreased the gut damage score and the water content, indicating improvement in histological integrity. The treatment also attenuated tissue injury and proinflammatory cytokines, and reduced bacterial translocation to the gut. AICAR administration after intestinal I/R maintained lung integrity, attenuated neutrophil chemotaxis and infiltration to the lungs and decreased lung levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6. Inflammatory mediators, lung-inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) proteins, were decreased in the lungs and lung apoptosis was significantly reduced after AICAR treatment. These data indicate that AICAR could be developed as an effective and novel therapeutic for intestinal I/R and subsequent ALI. 相似文献

Regulatory effects of eotaxin on acute lung inflammatory injury 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Eotaxin, which is a major mediator for eosinophil recruitment into lung, has regulatory effects on neutrophil-dependent acute inflammatory injury triggered by intrapulmonary deposition of IgG immune complexes in rats. In this model, eotaxin mRNA and protein were up-regulated during the inflammatory response, resulting in eotaxin protein expression in alveolar macrophages and in alveolar epithelial cells. Ab-induced blockade of eotaxin in vivo caused enhanced NF-kappaB activation in lung, substantial increases in bronchoalveolar lavage levels of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC), and increased MIP-2 and CINC mRNA expression in alveolar macrophages. In contrast, TNF-alpha levels were unaffected, and IL-10 levels fell. Under these experimental conditions, lung neutrophil accumulation was significantly increased, and vascular injury, as reflected by extravascular leak of (125)I-albumin, was enhanced. Conversely, when recombinant eotaxin was administered in the same inflammatory model of lung injury, bronchoalveolar lavage levels of MIP-2 were reduced, as was neutrophil accumulation and the intensity of lung injury. In vitro stimulation of rat alveolar macrophages with IgG immune complexes greatly increased expression of mRNA and protein for MIP-2, CINC, MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta. In the copresence of eotaxin, the increased levels of MIP-2 and CINC mRNAs were markedly diminished, whereas MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta expression of mRNA and protein was not affected. These data suggest that endogenous eotaxin, which is expressed during the acute lung inflammatory response, plays a regulatory role in neutrophil recruitment into lung and the ensuing inflammatory damage. 相似文献
