چکیده

Interstitial inflammation has emerged as a key event in the development of acute renal failure. To gain better insight into the nature of these inflammatory processes, the interplay between tubular epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and neutrophils (PMN) was investigated. A coculture transmigration model was developed, composed of human dermal microvascular endothelial (HDMEC) and human renal proximal tubular cells (HK-2) cultured on opposite sides of Transwell growth supports. Correct formation of an endoepithelial bilayer was verified by light and electron microscopy. The model was used to study the effects of endotoxin (LPS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) by measuring PMN migration and cytokine release. To distinguish between individual roles of microvascular endothelial and epithelial cells in transmigration processes, migration of PMN was investigated separately in HK-2 and HDMEC monolayers. Sequential migration of PMN through endothelium and epithelium could be observed and was significantly increased after proinflammatory stimulation with either TNF-alpha or LPS (3.5 +/- 0.58 and 2.76 +/- 0.64-fold vs. control, respectively). Coincubation with alpha-MSH inhibited the transmigration of PMN through the bilayer after proinflammatory stimulation with LPS but not after TNF-alpha. The bilayers produced significant amounts of IL-8 and IL-6 mostly released from the epithelial cells. Furthermore, alpha-MSH decreased LPS-induced IL-6 secretion by 30% but had no significant effect on IL-8 secretion. We established a transmigration model showing sequential migration of PMN across microvascular endothelial and renal tubular epithelial cells stimulated by TNF-alpha and LPS. Anti-inflammatory effects of alpha-MSH in this bilayer model are demonstrated by inhibition on PMN transmigration and IL-6 secretion.

P 65: Soluble CD18 as an Inflammation Reducing Agent in Parkinson\'s Disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a very common neurodegenerative disease among the elderly population. Current treatments for Parkinson’s disease are based on symptom therapy but not the underlying cause of the disease. This disorder is caused neuronal death which triggers the activation of resident glial cells. This situation leads to neuroinflammation in the central nervous system. Activated...

Regulation of polymorphonuclear leukocyte apoptosis: role of lung endothelium-epithelium bilayer transmigration.

Delayed polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) apoptosis exacerbates acute lung injury. To reach the alveolar spaces, PMNs must migrate across both pulmonary endothelial and epithelial cell layers. We hypothesized that transmigration across the endothelium-epithelium bilayer suppresses PMN apoptosis and sought to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. PMNs freshly isolated from normal volunteers were ...

P 61: MicroRNA as a Therapeutic Tool to Prevent Blood Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Neuroinflammation

Endothelial cells present in brain are unique and differ from other peripheral tissues in a number of ways, which ensures specific brain endothelial barrier properties. Endothelial dysfunction is the earliest event in the initiation of vascular damage caused by inflammation. Various microRNAs (miRNA) have been discovered in different cellular components of the blood bran barrier (BBB). miRNAs a...

Sequential migration of neutrophils across monolayers of endothelial and epithelial cells.

In the course of granulocyte-dominated lung inflammation, granulocytes migrate across the endothelium and epithelium of the lung and cause severe tissue damage. To study this process in more detail, we developed a bilayer transmigration model composed of primary human endothelial and lung epithelial cells, simultaneously cultured on opposite sides of Transwell filters. Electron microscopical an...

A seamless trespass: germ cell migration across the seminiferous epithelium during spermatogenesis

During spermatogenesis, preleptotene spermatocytes traverse the blood-testis barrier (BTB) in the seminiferous epithelium, which is reminiscent of viral pathogens breaking through the tight junctions of host epithelial cells. The process also closely resembles the migration of leukocytes across endothelial tight junctions to reach inflammation sites. Cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobuli...
