چکیده

Egression of inflammatory cells from the lung interstitium into the airway lumen is critical for the resolution of inflammation, but the underlying mechanisms of this egression are unclear. Here, we use an in vitro system, in which human T cells migrate across a bronchial epithelial monolayer, to investigate the molecules involved. We show that although inhibition of T-cell LFA-1 blocks egression by 75 +/- 5.6% (P<0.0001), inhibition of the LFA-1-ligand ICAM-1 on the epithelium only inhibits by 52.7 +/- 0.06% (P=0.0001). We, therefore, looked for other epithelial ligands for LFA-1 and demonstrate that ICAM-2, but not ICAM-3, is expressed on the bronchial epithelium. Blocking ICAM-2 inhibits egression by 50.95 +/- 10.79% (P=0.04), and blocking both ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 inhibits egression by 69.6 +/- 5.2% (P< 0.0001). Inhibition of LFA-1/ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 interactions on the basolateral epithelium does not prevent egressing T cells from adhering, polarizing, or moving over the basal epithelium, but it does prevent their recognition of the interepithelial junctions. In conclusion, we show that egression of T cells involves three distinct sequential steps: adhesion, junctional recognition, and diapedesis; we further demonstrate that ICAM-2 is expressed on the bronchial epithelium and, together with ICAM-1, has an essential function in the clearance of T cells from the lung.

The expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and the beta 1-integrins in asthma.

Expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) appears to be important to the development of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and eosinophilia in Ascaris sensitized monkeys. Beta 1-integrins are expressed on epithelial cells, and may contribute to adherence of epithelial cells to the basement membrane. The aim of this study was to determine whether adhesion receptor expression was altere...

Experimental rhinovirus 16 infection increases intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression in bronchial epithelium of asthmatics regardless of inhaled steroid treatment.

BACKGROUND Rhinovirus infections in airway epithelial cells in vitro have been shown to upregulate intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression. Epithelial ICAM-1, in its dual role as the major rhinovirus receptor and as adhesion molecule for inflammatory cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of rhinovirus-induced exacerbations of asthma. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the eff...

IL-4 induces ICAM-1 expression in human bronchial epithelial cells and potentiates TNF-α.

Interleukin (IL)-4 is thought to contribute to the Th2 type of immune response and hence the development of allergic reactions such as asthma. In asthmatic patients, the airway epithelium expresses increased amounts of the cell surface adhesion molecule intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 (CD54). One cytokine capable of inducing ICAM-1 in airway epithelial cells, tumor necrosis factor-α (T...

The in situ expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) mRNA in normal and pneumonic lung tissues of Holstein calves with bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) was compared with that of age-matched non-BLAD Holstein calves by in situ hybridization. Twenty-four Holstein calves (both BLAD and non-BLAD) were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups and inoculated intr...
