Leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells plays a pivotal role in the early stage of endotoxin shock. The attenuation of the leukocyte response to endotoxin may contribute to the prevention of further organ dysfunction. Recent evidence implies that N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) attenuates endotoxin-induced pathophysiological changes. We investigated the effect of NAC on the expression of CD11b and CD62L in endotoxin-stimulated human whole blood. NAC (> 10 mM) significantly inhibited the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced upregulation of CD11b in a concentration-dependent manner. However, NAC did not affect the LPS-induced downregulation of CD62L. We also analyzed the effect of NAC on interleukin-8 (IL-8)induced expression of CD11b in human whole blood. IL-8 (10 ng/mL) significantly upregulated the expression of CD11b, and the IL-8-induced upregulation was significantly attenuated by NAC (> 10 mM) in a dose-dependent manner. We conclude that NAC attenuates the increased expression of CD11b in either LPS or IL-8-stimulated human whole blood.
