title: [Expression of adhesion molecules LFA-1 (CD11a and ICAM-1 (CD54) on lymphocytes and chemokines IL-8 and MCP-1 concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage of patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
abstract: Chemokines and cellular adhesion molecules are crucial determinants of the migration of immune effector cells to the tissues asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are a complex of conditions, which have airflow limitation in common. The aim of this study was to determine the numbers and percentages of lymphocytes expressing adhesion molecules: LFA-1, ICAM-1 together with assessment of chemokines concentrations: IL-8 and MCP-1 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) of patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 12 patients with asthma, 14 patients with COPD, and 6 subjects of control group took part in this study. The expression of LFA-1 and ICAM-1 was assessed on lymphocytes by using immunohistochemistry (streptavidyn-biotin, DAKO, Denmark). ELISA test was used to measure IL-8 and MCP-1 concentrations in BAL (kits from R&D, USA). The percentage of lymphocytes expressing LFA-1 and ICAM-1 were: 33.9 +/- 23.8% and 25.8 +/- 12.2% in COPD patients, 23.9 +/- 12.1% and 15.3 +/- 4.42% in asthma patients, and 14.2 +/- 10% and 5.2 +/- 1.6% in the control group respectively. There was observed significant difference between the percentage of lymphocytes expressing LFA-1 and ICAM-1 of COPD and the control group. The concentrations of IL-8 were: 2306 +/- 1501 pg/ml in COPD, 233 +/- 27.3 pg/ml in asthma and 64 +/- 28.7 in the control group (p < 0.05). The concentrations of MCP-1 were: 768.9 +/- 668.1 pg/ml in COPD, 126.8 +/- 30.8 pg/ml in asthma, and 83.0 +/- 16.4 pg/ml in the control group (p < 0.05). There was observed correlation between lymphocytes expressing LFA-1 and IL-8 concentration (r = +0.5, p < 0.05) and between lymphocytes expressing LFA-1 and MCP-1 concentration (r = +0.5, p < 0.05), and between lymphocytes expressing ICAM-1 and MCP-1 concentration (r = +0.4, p < 0.05) only in COPD patients. Our data suggest that LFA-1 and ICAM-1 are important molecules in the recruitment of leukocytes and together with IL-8 and MCP-1 may have a role in pathomechanism of inflammation in asthma and especially in COPD.
