The endothelial molecule E-selectin binds most leukocyte subsets in vitro. Yet its role in regulating the very different kinetics of inflammatory infiltration of different leukocyte subsets in vivo is unclear. The kinetics of E-selectin upregulation and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) and blood lymphocyte (PBL) localization in inflammation induced by interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) were investigated in a well-established inbred pig trafficking model. They differed markedly both for these three labeled indicators of inflammation and in each of the four inflammatory processes. In each, E-selectin upregulation correlated with early PMN entry and later with PBL infiltration but was more protracted than both. The importance of E-selectin was confirmed by marked inhibition of PMN and PBL entry (up to > 60%) by F(ab')2 anti-E-selectin. Involvement of other molecules was illustrated by similar or greater inhibition with anti-CD18 F(ab')2. We conclude that, like CD18, E-selectin is necessary for most PMN and PBL infiltration but alone is insufficient, consistent with the involvement of several alternative multistep molecular mechanisms in this entry.
