To disclose cell-to-cell interaction associated with the defensive mechanism of the peritoneum, the peritoneum was stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and analyzed three-dimensionally, ultrastructurally, and immunohistochemically with immunoSEM (scanning electron microscopy). The activated hepatic peritoneal surface demonstrated numerous microvilli with the adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. They were restricted to villi and peaked at 1.5 mug/g body weight of LPS. Delicate strands appeared moderately and were interwoven among microvilli with increasing LPS. These strands did not express ICAM-1 or VCAM-1, but fibronectin. Leukocytes began to adhere to the peritoneal surface above die value of LPS (2.5 mug). These results suggest that the peritoneal surface gives a defensive sheet for cell-to-cell interaction through adhesion molecules and fibronectin.
