PG - 212-6 AB - The objective of the present study was to determine whether long-term arterial hypertension renders the microvasculature more vulnerable to the deleterious inflammatory responses elicited by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Intravital fluorescence microscopy was used to monitor leukocyte adherence and emigration, platelet-leukocyte aggregation, and albumin extravasation in mesenteric postcapillary venules of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) after 10 minutes of ischemia and subsequent reperfusion. Significant and comparable increases in leukocyte adherence/emigration and the formation of platelet aggregates were elicited by I/R in both WKY and SHR. Albumin extravasation was enhanced after I/R in SHR, but not in WKY. Monoclonal antibodies directed against the adhesion glycoproteins CD18, P-selectin, or ICAM-1 showed similar patterns of protection against the I/R-induced inflammatory responses in WKY and SHR. The enhanced albumin extravasation noted in postischemic venules of SHR was prevented by immunoneutralization of either CD18 on leukocytes or ICAM-1 on endothelial cells. These results suggest that, whereas long-term arterial hypertension does not significantly modify the leukocyte and platelet recruitment normally elicited in venules by I/R, it does result in an exaggerated albumin leakage response, which is mediated by an interaction between beta(2) (CD18) integrins on leukocytes and ICAM-1 on endothelial cells.
