OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of P-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in the pathogenesis of lung injury associated with pancreatitis, and the relation between xanthine oxidase-derived oxidants and expression of these adhesion molecules. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: In acute pancreatitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome occurs in the early stages of disease. This process is mediated by neutrophil infiltration. METHODS: Pancreatitis was induced in rats by intraductal administration of 5% sodium taurocholate. ICAM-1 and P-selectin expression was measured using radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies. Neutrophil infiltration and plasma levels of xanthine oxidase were also evaluated. RESULTS: Pancreatitis induces increases in P-selectin expression in lung, whereas ICAM-1 is unchanged from baseline levels. Immunoneutralization of either P-selectin or ICAM-1 prevents the infiltration of neutrophils into the lung. Xanthine and xanthine oxidase activity were increased after induction of pancreatitis. Xanthine oxidase inhibition prevents the upregulation of P-selectin in lung and neutrophil infiltration. CONCLUSIONS: During acute pancreatitis, P-selectin is upregulated in the pulmonary endothelium and is a key determinant of leukocyte recruitment. Constitutive ICAM-1 is also involved in the process of cell infiltration into the lung. The increased expression of P-selectin appears to be triggered by a mechanism dependent on free radicals generated by xanthine oxidase released by the damaged pancreas.
