Neutrophil adherence to vascular endothelium is partially mediated by adhesion molecules, including intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), on endothelial cells. We examined the effect of transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) on the expression of ICAM-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). TGF-beta(1) (1 ng/ml) increased ICAM-1 and ICAM-1 mRNA expression in HUVEC, as assessed by flow cytometry and Northern blot analysis, respectively. In addition, we investigated whether exogenous recombinant TGF-beta(1) can cause neutrophil-mediated lung injury in guinea pigs. The plasma half-life of I-125-labeled TGF-beta(1) in guinea pigs was 4.6 +/- 0.1 min, and the I-125 activity was 2.8 +/- 0.2% 8 h after injection. The ratio of I-125-labeled albumin concentration in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid to that in plasma, lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, numbers of neutrophils in BAL fluid, and numbers of neutrophils per alveolus in fixed lung sections increased in guinea pigs that received a high dose of TGF-beta(1) (25 mu g iv followed by 2 mu g/h for 8 h) compared with the control group. These results suggest that TGF-beta(1) causes neutrophil-mediated lung injury, possibly through upregulation of ICAM-1 on endothelial cells, and might be important in the pathogenesis of lung injury.
