The ability to increase the motility of endothelial cells In vitro Is a property common to most if not all angiogenesis-Inducing factors. Because bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells from patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis havean enhanced capacity to Induce neovascularlzatlon, the BAL fluids from these patients were assessed for their effeCt on human and murine endothelial cells and fibroblasts obtained from a variety of tissue sources. A recently developed computerassisted Image analysis system was used to determine the extent and pattern of cell migration In a mlcrowell screening assay. Data were obtained for BAL fluids from 10 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis and from five normal volunteers. BAL supernatants from patients with active sarcoidosis showed an enhanced (2-to S-fold) capacity to Induce chemokinesis of both endothelial cells and fibroblasts, as measured by Increased area of migration and polarized cell movement. There was a marked heterogeneity In the motility of cells from different organ origins, but enhanced cell movement was observed with both endothelial cells and fibroblasts. In contrast, BAL fluids from normal and sarcoid patients were similar In their effect on muscle cells and urothellal cells, whereas perlcytes, which responded to BAL fluids from normal subjects or patients with nongranulomatous pulmonary disease, were inhibited by BAL fluids from patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. The induction of endothelial cell movement in vitro induced by individual supernatants generally correlated with the capacity of BAL cells from these patients to Induce angiogenesis in vivo. Wesuggest that the cell migration-inducing factors found In SAL fluids obtained from patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis may playa significant role not only In recruiting cells for granuloma formation in the lung but more generally in the mlcroangiopathies of systemic sarcoidosis.
