Cytokine-induced meningitis is dramatically attenuated in mice deficient in endothelial selectins.

Abstract: Leukocyte accumulation in cerebrospinal fluid and disruption of the blood-brain barrier are central components of meningitis and are associated with a poor prognosis. Genetically engineered deficiencies or functional inhibition of endothelial leukocyte adhesion receptors P-, or P-plus E-selectins, lead to deficits in leukocyte rolling and extravasation. However, their impact on meningeal inflammation has not been tested previously. An acute cytokine-induced meningitis model associated with significant cerebros… Show more

“…This acute surface presentation of P-selectin is not seen on endothelial cells of VWF KO mice that cannot form WPB and show both, strongly reduced cell surface expression of P-selectin and decreased leukocyte recruitment, even though the amount of intracellular P-selectin remains unchanged 25 . The defect in P-selectin cell surface presentation observed in these mice indicates that the rapidly releasable pool of P-selectin originates from WPB and emphasizes the importance of these specialized secretory organelles as P-selectin storage compartments in the control of inflammation [25][26][27] . We observed that anxA8-depleted HUVEC displayed a severe reduction in leukocyte rolling and adhesion upon histamine activation.…”

“…Tang and others have shown P-selectin-deficient mice to exhibit partial inhibition of cerebrospinal fluid leucocyte accumulation [24]. However, mice with null mutations in both P-and E-selectin genes exhibited an almost complete inhibition of leucocyte accumulation in models of contact hypersensitivity [12], meningitis [24] and peritonitis [25]. These studies suggest that, at least in contact hypersensitivity, meningeal inflammation and peritonitis, P-and E-selectin contribute cooperatively to leucocyte recruitment [12,24,25].…”

“…All mice used in this study were on a mixed background C57BL͞6J͞129Sv, so that comparison with previously published inflammatory models with P-selectin (P Ϫ͞Ϫ) mice (3) would be possible (11,12). The experimental procedures were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of the Center for Blood Research.…”

“…Meningitis was induced as described (11). Four hours after induction of the meningitis with lumbar injection of human recombinant IL-1␤ (25 pg͞g) and recombinant human tumor necrosis factor ␣ (TNF␣) (80 pg͞g) (Genzyme) the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was collected by aspiration with a glass capillary pipette.…”
