Inhibition of leukocyte extravasation with a monoclonal antibody to CD18 during formation of experimental intimal thickening in rabbit carotid arteries.

چکیده
In the rabbit model of electrically induced intimal thickening, the adherence processes of different leukocyte subsets as well as the functional significance of leukocyte invasion in the initial migration of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) into the intima were studied by using monoclonal antibody (MAb) 60.3 (directed to the leukocyte adherence glycoprotein CD18), a known potent inhibitor of leukocyte adhesive functions. In control carotid arteries exposed to two periods of electrical stimulation within 36 hours, leukocytes, including all granulocyte subsets, monocytes, and lymphocytes, invaded the cell-free subendothelium. Concomitantly, SMCs were observed to migrate from the media into the intima. In the MAb 60.3-treated rabbits, however, neutrophil emigration into the stimulated arteries was abolished, whereas mononuclear leukocyte accumulation in the intima was only partially inhibited, indicating a complete CD18-dependent mechanism for neutrophil extravasation and additional receptor-ligand systems for the emigration of mononuclear leukocytes. SMCs moved into the intima despite complete blockage of neutrophils and the reduced accumulation of mononuclear cells within the subendothelium after MAb administration. These results preclude neutrophils as initiators of SMC migration into the intima. The influence of mononuclear cells on the migratory behavior of SMCs in intimal thickening formation, however, needs further elucidation.

Role of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in collar-induced intimal thickening in the rabbit carotid artery.
In this study, the involvement of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in the development of intimal thickening was investigated. A fibromuscular intima was induced by placing a silicone collar around the rabbit carotid artery for 3 days or 2 weeks; the contralateral artery was sham operated. Rabbits received placebo treatments (groups 1 and 3), granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (group 2; G-...
متن کاملIdentification of macrophages in intimal thickening of rat carotid arteries by cytochemical localization of purine nucleoside phosphorylase.
Complete desquamation of the endothelium of the rat carotid artery by balloon catheter stripping resulted within 2 weeks in the formation of a large intimal thickening. After an enzyme cytochemical technique was applied to localize cytosolic purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), light microscopical evaluation indicated that this intimal thickening in normocholesterolemic rats was composed of 5...
متن کاملTime course of smooth muscle cell proliferation in the intima and media of arteries following experimental angioplasty.
Smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation is known to be an important factor for the development of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. To determine the time course of intimal and medial SMC proliferation and morphological changes after experimental angioplasty, an intimal atheroma was produced with repeated weak electrical stimulations in the right carotid artery of 4...
متن کاملLocal honokiol application inhibits intimal thickening in rabbits following carotid artery balloon injury
Honokiol is a natural bioactive product with anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-angiogenic and neuroprotective properties. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of honokiol treatment on intimal thickening following vascular balloon injury. The current study determined that perivascular honokiol application reduced intimal thickening in rabbits 14 days after carotid...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibody Against Rabbit Tissue Factor Inhibits Thrombus Formation in Stenotic Injured Rabbit Carotid Arteries
Tissue factor (TF) is a transmembrane protein that binds factor VII/VIIa, thus activating the extrinsic blood coagulation pathway. Since this pathway appears to be involved in the formation of intravascular thrombi, the anti-rabbit TF monoclonal antibody, AP-1, was produced and tested as an antithrombotic agent in a rabbit model of recurrent intravascular thrombosis. In this model, a plastic co...
