VEGF-A stimulation of leukocyte adhesion to colonic microvascular endothelium: implications for inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by increased leukocyte recruitment and subsequent tissue damage. An increase in the density of the microvasculature of the colon during IBD has been suggested, leading to the concept that angiogenesis may play a pathological role in IBD. Increased tissue and serum levels of the angiogenic cytokine VEGF-A have been reported in cases of active IBD. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that VEGF-A exerts a proinflammatory effec… Show more

“…WT and ICAM-1 −/− MAEC were cultured to further examine the manner in which ICAM-1 governs VEGF-A angiogenesis. 50 ng/ml VEGF-A was used for chemotaxis assays as we have previously shown this concentration to be optimal in stimulating ICAM-1 expression and is consistent with pathological levels of VEGF-A in diseased tissue (8). Transwell chemotaxis assays using VEGF-A revealed a significant attenuation of the chemotactic response in ICAM-1 −/− cells compared to WT cells ( Figure 1, panel E).…”

“…This induction of adhesion molecule expression increases in vitro leukocyte adhesion under static conditions, which occurs through the activation of VEGF-R2 (75,76). Importantly, we have recently reported that VEGF-A stimulates increased ICAM-1 expression on distal colon microvascular endothelium, which facilitates neutrophil and T cell adhesion in a CD18-dependent manner (55). Our group has also shown that ICAM-1 influences control of VEGF-A induced endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activity, endothelial chemotaxis, and angiogenesis through modulation of endothelial cell signaling pathways (84).…”

“…Flow cytometry analysis. Measurement of T-cell and endothelial cell surface adhesion molecule expression was performed by flow cytometry as we have previously reported (20,22,24). Antibodies and the dilutions used against these molecules are as follows: CD18 (1:320), CD29 (1:320), CD11a (1:80), CD49d (1:80), intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (1:80), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) (1:80), E-selectin (1:320), and P-selectin (1:320) and isotype controls at the respective dilutions.…”
