Role of leukocyte adhesion molecules in lung and dermal vascular injury after thermal trauma of skin.
Acute second degree thermal injury of rat skin involving 25 to 30% total body surface of anesthetized rats results at 4 hours in evidence of vascular injury both locally (in skin) and remotely (involving lung). The neutrophil dependency for both types of injury has now been established. Monoclonal antibodies to various adhesion molecules have been used to define the requirements for these molecules in the development of vascular injury. In dermal vascular injury, a requirement for Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) but not for leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18) has been established. In this model requirements have also been demonstrated for intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E- and L-selectin but not for very late arising antigen-4 (VLA-4) or P-selectin. With respect to lung vascular injury, dual requirements for both leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 and Mac-1 were found as well as for ICAM-1 and E- and L-selectin but not for VLA-4 and P-selectin. In the lung, there was a close correlation between neutrophil content of the tissue (as assessed by myeloperoxidase) and the effects of protective interventions (directed against blocking of adhesion molecules). These data emphasize the roles of beta 2 integrins, selectins (L and E), and ICAM-1 in events that lead to neutrophil-mediated vascular injury of dermis and lung after thermal trauma to skin.
