Abstract

Unstimulated endothelial cell (EC)cultures express low levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and their expression can be enhanced by inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF). Three monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) highly reactive with TNF-stimulated human ECs were established and defined to recognize a 95 kDa cell surface protein specifically expressed on cytokine-activated ECs, which was immunochemically identified as ICAM-1. The quantitative immunoassay of soluble and insoluble ICAM-1 could be performed with two different MoAbs. Secretion of fibronectin or the von Willebrand factor, was not significantly enhanced with TNF stimulation. Cellular expression of ICAM-1 was drastically induced by TNF or interleukin-1 stimulation, and the moderate expression with delayed-action was observed only by lipopolysaccharide stimulation. A maximal amount of soluble ICAM-1 was released from ECs stimulated only by TNF, apparently in a dose dependent manner, but no significant release of ICAM-1 was induced by thrombin interleukin-2, or lipopolysacchardes. Released levels of soluble ICAM-1 from interleukin-1-stimulated ECs were apparently diminished as compared with those from TNF-stimulated cells. These results suggest that release of soluble ICAM-1 from EC surfaces can be most significantly enhanced by TNF-specific signaling, and prospectively, should be a sensitive indicator of intravascular inflammation in acute endothelium injury.
