PG - 93-7 AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), potent inflammatory cytokines, are released by macrophages during endotoxin shock. However, the contribution of these cytokines to endotoxin-induced inflammation has not been defined. The expression of E-selectin, measured using the dual radiolabeled monoclonal antibody (mAb) technique, was monitored in different tissues of endotoxin-challenged wild-type and IFN-gamma-deficient mice receiving a mAb to TNF-alpha (TN3). A significant elevation in E-selectin expression occurred in all tissues of wild-type mice challenged with endotoxin. Injection of TN3 in wild-type mice significantly attenuated the endotoxin-induced up-regulation of E-selectin in all tissues (p < .05) except the pancreas. The level of reduction in endotoxin-induced E-selectin expression ranged between 30% in the stomach to 60% in the small intestine. E-selectin expression in endotoxin-challenged, IFN-gamma-deficient mice was significantly reduced in the small and large intestines, when compared with endotoxin-challenged wild-type mice. Although IFN-gamma deficiency had no effect on E-selectin expression in other tissues, administration of TN3 to endotoxin-challenged, IFN-gamma-deficient mice significantly reduced E-selectin expression to levels observed in endotoxin-challenged, wild-type mice that received TN3. These findings indicate that TNF-alpha is essential for achievement of maximal E-selectin expression in most vascular beds during endotoxemia, whereas the contribution of IFN-gamma is largely confined to the small intestine.
