    Endotoxin tolerance diminishes certain antiinflammatory effects of endotoxin (1985)

    Notes: Abstract Endotoxin (bacterial lipopolysaccharide, LPS) is paradoxically both inflammatory and antiinflammatory. A single intravenous injection of 100μgEscherichia coli LPS markedly inhibits the inflammatory changes associated with cutaneous reversed passive Arthus (RPA) reactions in New Zealand white rabbits. Polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes from LPS-treated rabbits exhibit diminished responsiveness in vitro to complement (C5) -derived peptides. Repeated injections of LPS render animals “tolerant”, that is, refractory to the toxic and inflammatory efects of LPS. We examined whether tolerance would enhance the ability of LPS to inhibit inflammation not attributable to LPS. Surprisingly, as compared with rabbits receiving a single dose of LPS, tolerant rabbits demonstrated greater inflammatory changes (i.e., PMN exudation, vascular permeability) associated with RPA reactions. PMNs from LPS-tolerant rabbits responded in vitro to C5-derived peptides significantly more than PMNs from rabbits that received a single dose of LPS. We speculate that some antiinflammatory effects of LPS require the toxic or inflammatory effects of LPS itself. These observations might relate to the limited efficacy of fever therapy and the variable effects of gram-negative sepsis on functions of human PMNs.

    Similar chemotactic factor for monocytes predominates in different animal models of uveitis (1988)

    Notes: Abstract Anterior uveitis or iritis occurs in a variety of systemic diseases including sarcoid, Behcet's, and spondyloarthritis. Iritis is, therefore, presumed to result from a variety of pathogenetic mechanisms. We hypothesized that unique chemotactic factors should be associated with different etiologies for inflammation. We have tested this hypothesis using rabbit models of anterior uveitis. We have found that aqueous humor generally contained chemotactic activity for monocytes 24 h after an intravitreal injection of endotoxin, killed mycobacteria, or human serum albumin (in a rabbit previously immunized against human serum albumin). Anterior chamber paracentesis resulted in aqueous humor with a high protein content. However, in contrast to the other models of inflammation, paracentesis did not result in a cellular infiltrate in the anterior chamber, and aqueous humor after paracentesis was not chemotactic. For either immunologically mediated inflammation or for inflammation resulting from injection of a killed bacterial product, chemotactic activity could be digested by papain or trypsin and tended to coelute with albumin on either gel filtration or ion-exchange chromatography. These observations suggest that a similar chemotactic factor for monocytes appears to be associated with ocular inflammation that follows either an immune response or injection of a killed bacterial product.

    Time course of growth factor staining in a rabbit model of traumatic tractional retinal detachment (1995)

    Notes: Abstract •Background: This study examined the relationship between growth factor expression and cellular proliferation during the evolution of traumatic tractional retinal detachment (TRD) in a rabbit model. •Methods: TRD was induced in 15 pigmented rabbits by treating the inferior retina with cryopexy and making a scleral incision superiorly. Sections from varied time points were stained in the same assay with mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAb) specific for basic fibroblastic growth factor (bFGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB/AB). • Results: Initially, the eyes exhibited intense vitritis; discrete membranes were present at 7 days and progressed to tractional retinal detachment at 17 and 28 days, after which there was no clinical change. At 6 and 24 h, bFGF, PDGF, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were not detectable in membranes or wound sites (except for PDGF-positive in flammatory cells). On days 7, 17, 28, and 52, bFGF and PDGF were readily detectable in most membranes. Cellular proliferation as detected by PCNA staining was also present on days 7, 17, and 28, but was absent by day 52 despite growth factor staining. At all times, PCNA staining, which was most intense at the wound site, showed only limited correlation with staining for either growth factor for individual cells. Müller cells stained positively for PDGF-BB/AB in 13 of the 15 TRD eyes, but in none of the normal eyes. • Conclusions: Since cellular proliferation correlated incompletely with the staining for bFGF and PDGF, these growth factors may not account exclusively for cellular proliferation within the membrane. Their distribution, however, including PDGF staining of Müller cells and bFGF staining at the vitreous-membrane interface, suggests that they may have roles in the pathogenesis of TRD.

    Increased expression of basic fibroblast growth factor in hyperoxic-injured mouse lung (1994)

    Notes: Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a mitogenic polypeptide for a wide variety of cell types and has been immunolocalized in the rodent and human lung. We investigated the mRNA and protein expression of bFGF in hyperoxic-injured adult mouse lungs using northern blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Mece (6-8weeks) were continuously exposed to 80% osygen up to 4 days. Levels of bFGF mRNA were increased from room air control on days 3 and 4 of hyperoxia. mRNA levels of acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), fibronectin, and transin/stromelysin were also examined in this injury model. Similar to bFGF, the fibronectin and transin/stromelysin mRNA levels were increased after 3 days of hyperoxia. In contrast, the aFGF mRNA levels were gradually reduced on each day of hyperoxia. A rabbit polyclonal anti-bFGF antibody was used to determine the distribution and levels of expression in the hyperoxic-injured lungs. The room air control and day 1 hyperoxic-exposed lungs exhibited staining for bFGF in the basement membranes of the blood vessels, airways, and alveoli. Patchy but intense alveolar staining was prominent on day 4 of hyperoxia. The bFGF immunoreactivity of blood vessels and airways unaffected by the hyperoxia exposure. These results suggest that bFGF may play a role in the alveolar response to hyperoxic-induced injury by virtye of the altered mRNA levels and protein distribution in this injury model.

    Differential expression of mRNA coding for heparin-binding growth factor type 2 in human cells (1988)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: The proliferation of normal human fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and melanocytes in vitro can be controlled by purified polypeptide growth factors and serum. We have studied the cellular expression of the heparin-binding growth factor type 2/basic fibroblast growth factor (HBGF-2/bFGF) gene to determine whether these cell types synthesize mRNA for this mitogen. Our results indicate that normal human fibroblasts synthesize four distinct mRNAs of 7.0, 3.7, 2.2, and 1.5 kilobases, which hybridize to a specific HBGF-2/bFGF cDNA probe. In fibroblasts, the level of all four of these transcripts increases dramatically (more than tenfold) within 4 hours of treatment of quiescent cells with fresh fetal bovine serum. Of the purified growth factors tested, transforming growth factor type-beta also increased HBGF-2/bFGF mRNA abundance, but not to the levels attained by serum treatment. Treatment of fibroblasts with cycloheximide before and during serum treatment blocked the ability of serum to induce the expression of the HBGF-2/bFGF gene. The gene is expressed at low levels in human fibroblasts rapidly growing in serum-free medium and at higher levels in cells rapidly growing in serum-containing medium. In contrast to fibroblasts, mRNA coding for HBGF-2/bFGF is undetectable in proliferating normal human keratinocytes, melanocytes, or mammary epithelial cells. Because keratinocytes and melanocytes proliferate in response to purified HBGF-2/bFGF, our results suggest that HBGF-2/bFGF may mediate the proliferation of epidermal cells through paracrine mechanisms involving stromal fibroblasts. Moreover, we have shown that a human squamous cell carcinoma cell line (SCC-25) expresses mRNA coding for HBGF-2/bFGF, suggesting that the gene may become activated in some carcinomas.
