Differences in expression of monocyte/macrophage surface antigens in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage cells in interstitial lung diseases

Abstract: The surface antigens of monocytic cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were analyzed in 10 patients with sarcoidosis, 8 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), 9 patients with extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA), and 10 healthy volunteers, and compared with the surface antigens of peripheral blood monocytes (PBM) of the same individuals. The absolute numbers of alveolar macrophages (AM) were increased in all disease groups as were the numbers of small monocyte-like cells, indicating an increa… Show more

“…CD14, a surface marker for both monocytes and macrophages, was dramatically down‐regulated during culture. With regard to lung macrophages, this observation is in accordance with the findings of other groups (Perez‐Arellano et al , 1993; Hoogsteden et al , 1993), and supports the view that under our culture conditions macrophages of an alveolar type may arise. Importantly, the myeloid markers CD45 and CD13 remained stable, and the monocyte‐derived cells were devoid of any CD1a expression.…”

“…Increased expression of CD13 has previously been reported in ILD patients (14) and tissue macrophages from patients with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (17). Other markers of varying functions such as CD9, CD52, CD71, and HLA Class I were expressed at higher levels in ILD patients.…”

“…In favour of local production are experiments showing upregulation of CD14 expression in pulmonary diseases characterized by chronic alveolar macrophage activation [21,22]. Using radioisotope flux studies in interstitial lung disease, the authors have suggested that elevated BAL albumin levels are related to local inflammation, rather than acute permeability changes due to the BAL procedure itself [18].…”
