	Abstract

In vitro and in vivo evidence supports a functional role for the integrin ₆₁ in neutrophil migration through the perivascular basement membrane, a response that in vivo appears to be associated with platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1)-mediated up-regulation of ₆₁ on the cell surface of transmigrating leukocytes. As the involvement of PECAM-1 in leukocyte migration is cytokine-specific, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether ₆₁ exhibited a similar profile of stimulus specificity in this context. The cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) were used to elicit neutrophil migration in two murine models of inflammation, migration through cremasteric venules, as observed by intravital microscopy, and migration into the peritoneal cavity, and the role of ₆₁ was investigated using an ₆ integrin-blocking monoclonal antibody GoH3. In both models, GoH3 significantly inhibited neutrophil transmigration induced by IL-1 but not TNF-. This cytokine-specific role of ₆ integrin was associated with enhanced cell-surface expression of ₆₁ on transmigrated neutrophils (as compared with blood cells) in response to IL-1 but not TNF-. Using lipopolysaccharide as an inflammatory stimulus in the cremaster muscle model, the study also provides evidence for the involvement of ₆ integrin in leukocyte transmigration as mediated by endogenously generated IL-1. Collectively, the findings demonstrate that ₆₁ blockade inhibits neutrophil migration induced by exogenous and endogenous IL-1 but not TNF-, observations that are associated with increased expression of the integrin on transmigrated leukocytes.
