OBJECTIVE: Requirements for cytokines and adhesion molecules for peritoneal neutrophil recruitment during glycogen-induced peritonitis in rats were systematically defined. SUBJECTS: Male Long Evans rats (275-300 g). METHODS: Four hours after intraperitoneal injection of 25 mg oyster glycogen, neutrophilic exudates were harvested. Effects of blocking reagents (injected intravenously) to rat E-, L- and P-selectins, beta1 (VLA-4) and beta2 integrins (LFA-1 and Mac-1), ICAM-1, and the cytokines TNFalpha, IL- and IL-8 were assessed. RESULTS: Administration of synthetic sialyl Lewis(x) oligosaccharide reduced neutrophil recruitment to the peritoneum by 26%. Antibody to E-selectin reduced neutrophil accumulation by 71%, while anti-L-selectin reduced neutrophil accumulation by 59%, and anti-P-selectin was without an effect. Similar patterns of inhibition were found when selectin-Ig chimeras were employed. Antibodies to LFA-1 (CD11a), Mac-1 (CD11b) or CD18 reduced neutrophil accumulation by 62 percent, 59 percent and 86%, respectively, while anti-VLA-4 was without effect. Anti-ICAM-1 reduced cell influx by 65%. IL-1 receptor antagonist and antibodies to IL-1 and human IL-8 reduced neutrophil accumulation by 43alpha, 40% and 62 percent, respectively. Unexpectedly, blockade of TNFalpha had no effect. CONCLUSIONS: These studies identify requirements for selectins, beta2 integrins, IL-1 and a rat chemokine(s) similar to human IL-8 for neutrophil recruitment during glycogen-induced peritonitis. The lack of participation of VLA-4, P-selectin and TNFalpha suggests organ-specific cytokine and adhesion molecule requirements for neutrophil recruitment.
