Role of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 in indomethacin-induced ileitis.
Adhesion molecules have been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases. We investigated their expression and contribution to leukocyte recruitment in experimental intestinal inflammation. Ileitis was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by two injections of indomethacin (7.5 mg/kg), given 24 h apart. Endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression was quantified using the dual radiolabeled monoclonal antibody technique and Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) expression on leukocytes by flow cytometry. Leukocyte infiltration was monitored by tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. The first indomethacin injection induced a time- and site-dependent increase of ICAM-1 expression in ileal mucosa and muscularis. The second injection resulted in a reduction of ICAM-1 expression below constitutive levels whereas Mac-1 was upregulated. MPO changes paralleled lesion development over 48 h. ICAM-1 and MPO values were correlated for the first 24 h. Immunoneutralization of either ICAM-1 or Mac-1 attenuated mucosal injury. We conclude that (i) indomethacin-induced ileitis is associated with a temporally disassociated upregulation of ICAM-1 and (ii) despite a reduction in ICAM-1 after 24 h, ICAM-1, in concert with Mac-1, contributes to mucosal injury and leukocyte infiltration elicited by indomethacin.
