Hypoxia-mediated induction of endothelial cell interleukin-1 alpha. An autocrine mechanism promoting expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules on the vessel surface.

Abstract: Tissue injury that accompanies hypoxemia/reoxygenation shares features with the host response in inflammation, suggesting that cytokines, such as IL-1, may act as mediators in this setting. Human endothelial cells (ECs) subjected to hypoxia (Po2 12-14 Torr) elaborated IL-1 activity into conditioned media in a time-dependent manner; this activity was completely neutralized by an antibody to IL-la. Production of IL-1 activity by hypoxic ECs was associated with an increase in the level of mRNA for IL-ia, and was … Show more

“…Indeed hypoxia exposure whether, in vitro or in vivo, is associated with rise in inflammatory markers. However, in the previous studies, as also quoted in the article by the authors, the duration of hypoxia exposure varied from 16 to 72 h [2][3][4][5] On the contrary, in the present study duration of simulated hypoxia of 4500 m was only 30 min. It remains obscure that those changes seen in the chemokines are actually the result of hypoxia induced inflammation or otherwise.…”

“…Our hypothesis of local muscle tissue hypoxia is supported by increased expression of interleukin-1␣ (IL-1␣), IL-1␤, transforming growth factor ␤, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and vascular cellular adhesion molecule 1 in the muscle tissue of patients with myositis (10)(11)(12)(13)(14), because these molecules are known to be up-regulated by hypoxia (10)(11)(12)(13). Moreover, the endothelial cells are frequently thickened, resembling endothelial cells of high endothelium venules (HEV), indicating their activation (3,10,11,(15)(16)(17). Notably, such phenotypically changed endothelial cells were observed in patient muscle tissue irrespective of inflammation (15).…”

“…One possibility was that polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) became adherent to the hypoxemic vessel wall due to translocation of P-selectin to the cell surface 15 or cytokine-mediated upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression. 19 Subsequent leukocyte activation could generate reactive oxygen intermediates, damaging the vessel wall and causing exposure of tissue factor in subendothelial layers of the vessel wall. However, antibody-induced depletion of PMNs had no effect on fibrin accumulation.…”
