Abstract
Neutrophil elastase, which enhances intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in endothelial cells, plays an important role in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Here, we investigated signal transduction of ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells stimulated by neutrophil elastase. Pretreatment of animals with the neutrophil elastase inhibitor, ONO-5046.Na significantly decreased the number of neutrophils or Mac-1+ (CD11b/CD18) cells in ischemic liver lobes after reperfusion. ICAM-1 expression in the rat endothelial cell line (WK-5) was significantly upregulated after stimulation with neutrophil elastase, but this reaction was inhibited by the neutrophil elastase inhibitor ONO-5046.Na. ICAM-1 mRNA expression, which is induced by neutrophil elastase in a dose-dependent manner, was repressed by the α1-protease inhibitor. ICAM-1 expression, stimulated by neutrophil elastase, was partially reduced by a diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor and protein kinase C inhibitor, but was completely inhibited by a phospholipase C inhibitor, cytosolic Ca2+ chelator, calmodulin antagonist, and nuclear transcription factor kappa B inhibitor. Binding of 125I-neutrophil elastase to WK-5 cells was competitively inhibited by the addition of unlabeled neutrophil elastase. The neutrophil elastase inhibitor significantly reduces ICAM-1 expression and Mac-1+ cell accumulation in ischemic liver lobes after reperfusion. Neutrophil elastase stimulates ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells by intracellular signal transduction via activation of diacylglycerol kinase, protein kinase C, phospholipase C, Ca2+-calmodulin, and nuclear transcription factor kappa B.
