| Abstract | Hepatic neutrophil adhesion during endotoxemia is an integrin-independent, CD44-dependent process. Because integrins function in other endotoxemic vasculatures, we used spinning disk confocal intravital microscopy to assess whether LPS down-modulated integrin functions in sinusoids. First, we applied fMLP onto the liver surface, and compared it with systemic LPS administration. Local fMLP caused neutrophil adhesion, crawling, and emigration for at least 2 h. Surprisingly, the number of adherent and crawling neutrophils was markedly reduced in Mac-1(-/-) and ICAM-1(-/-) mice, but not in mice treated with anti-CD44 mAb. By contrast, systemic LPS injection induced a robust accumulation of neutrophils in sinusoids, which was dependent on CD44, but not on integrins. Strikingly, local fMLP could not induce any integrin-dependent adhesion in endotoxemic mice treated with anti-CD44 mAb, indicating that Mac-1-dependent neutrophil adhesion was inhibited by LPS. This response was localized to the hepatic microvasculature because neutrophils still adhered via integrins in brain microvasculature. ICAM-1/ICAM-2 levels were not decreased, but following LPS treatment, Mac-1 was down-regulated in neutrophils localized to liver, but not in the circulation. Mac-1 down-regulation in neutrophils was not observed in IL-10(-/-) mice. In vitro neutrophil incubation with IL-10 induced direct decrease of Mac-1 expression and adhesivity in LPS-stimulated neutrophils. Therefore, our data suggest that Mac-1 is necessary for neutrophil adhesion and crawling during local inflammatory stimuli in sinusoids, but during systemic inflammation, neutrophils are exposed to high concentrations of IL-10, leading to a CD44-dependent, integrin-independent adhesion. This may be a mechanism to keep neutrophils in sinusoids for intravascular trapping. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
