The objective of this study was to determine whether hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hypochlorous acid (HOCl), and monochloramine (NH2Cl), at concentrations produced by activated neutrophils, promote leukocyte adherence to microvascular endothelium in post-capillary venules. Cat mesenteric venules (30-45 microns diameter) were examined using intravital video microscopy. Red blood cell velocity (VRBC), venular diameter (DV), and the number of adherent leukocytes (NWBC) were measured in postcapillary venules. Venular blood flow and wall shear rate (tau) were calculated from the measured values of VRBC and DV. Different concentrations (0.01-1.0 mM) of H2O2, HOCl, or NH2Cl were superfused on the mesentery. In some experiments, the contributions of the leukocyte adhesive glycoprotein CD11/CD18 and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in the oxidant-induced leukocyte adherence were determined using a CD18-specific antibody (IB4) and a PAF-receptor antagonist (WEB 2086), respectively. The results of our in vivo experiments indicate that H2O2 and NH2Cl, but not HOCl, promote leukocyte adhesion to venular endothelium. Incubation of isolated cat neutrophils with either NH2Cl or H2O2 resulted in activation of CD11/CD18, as assessed by flow cytometry. Although the leukocyte adhesion induced by both H2O2 and NH2Cl was associated with a reduction in venular wall shear rate, corresponding decrements in shear rate induced by partial occlusion of the mesenteric artery did not lead to similar levels of leukocyte adherence. The leukocyte adherence induced by H2O2 and NH2Cl was largely prevented by monoclonal antibody IB4, indicating that both oxidants promote leukocyte adherence via activation of CD11/CD18. The H2O2-induced, CD18-mediated leukocyte adherence appears to be elicited by PAF and by a direct effect of the oxidant on CD11/CD18 expression. The mechanism underlying the NH2Cl-induced leukocyte adherence remain unclear.
