ICAM-i mRNA levels increased during ischemia in the ischemic liver lobes; however, during reperfusion mRNA levels increased in both the ischemic and nonischemic lobes. Immunohistochemical evaluation indicated ICAM-i expression only on sinusoidal lining cells in controls; ischemia-reperfusion enhanced ICAM-1 expression in the sinusoids and induced some expression on hepatocytes The monoclonal anti-ICAM-i antibody iA29, but not an immunoglobulin G control antibody, administered at 1 h and 8 h of reperfusion (2 mg/kg) signifIcantly attenuated liver injury as indicated by 51% lower plasma alanine aminotransferase activities and 32-36% less hepatic necrosis at 24 h without affecting reactive oxygen formation by Kupffer cells and hepatic neutrophils. Although 1A29 reduced neutrophil extravasation in a glycogen peritonitis by 60%, the antibody had no signfficant effect on hepatic neutrophil infiltration during reperfusion. These data suggest that ICAM-1 plays a significant role during the neutrophil-dependent injury phase after hepatic ischemia and reperfusion and therefore blocking this adhesion molecule may have therapeutic potential against postischemic acute liver failure J.

sion injury at a later stage (6-24 h of reperfusion) [7]. Because many neutrophils accumulate in the sinusoids, they can be involved in the pathogenesis by disturbing the microcirculation with a subsequent infarct [8, 9]. However, there is experimental evidence that neutrophils aggravate reperfusion injury by generating cytotoxic mediators such as reactive oxygen species [10]. In fact, functional inactivation of hepatic neutrophils, reducing their capability to generate reactive oxygen, had a substantial beneficial effect in this model [11]. The clearly documented involvement of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of reperfusion injury opens the possibility of inhibiting this inflammatory process, because the accumulation and the cytotoxicity of these cells are dependent on a variety of adhesion molecules not only on neutrophils but also on endothelial cells and parenchymal cells. Data demonstrated the importance of the /32 integrin Mac-i (CDllb/CD18) on neutrophils in hepatic ischemiareperfusion injury [11] as well as hepatic failure in endotoxin shock [12]. Because intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is a potential counterreceptor for Mac-i [i3] and both membrane proteins were shown to be important in transendothelial migration myocytes in vitro in the pathogenesis was investigated

In experimental models it was recognized that reperfusion injury in the liver is mainly an inflammatory cell-mediated injury [1]. This injury is initiated by Kupifer cells generating increased amounts of reactive oxygen [2, 3]. Kupifer cells are activated during ischemia [4, 5] and are further stimulated by complement activation during reperfusion [6]. This initial reperfusion injury and complement activation cause infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs, neutrophils) into the postischemic liver [2]. Neutropenia experiments using a monoclonal antineutrophil antibody indicated that neutrophils contribute to reperfu-

Some of the animals were treated with the anti-ICAM-1 antibody 1A29 or an isotype-matched nonbinding immunoglobulin G (IgG) control antibody (clone SG 12/9). 1A29 binds to the ICAM-1 receptor on rat endothelial cells and blocks the function of the receptor [19]. Intravenous injection of 1A29 does not cause neutropenia. The clone for the antibody 1A29 was generated by M. Miyasaka [19] against purified rat ICAM-1 and the antibody was prepared as

further increased during reperfusion (Fig. 3). After 5 and 24 h of reperfusion, mRNA levels declined; however, this effect may be due in part to the substantial injury in the postischemic lobes. In the nonischemic liver lobes, ICAM-1 mRNA increased only during reperfusion with the highest levels observed at 5 h of reperfusion (Fig. 3). To test the pathophysiological importance of ICAM-l expression in this model of inflammatory liver injury, the potential beneficial effect ofthe anti-ICAM-i mAb 1A29 was investigated. To evaluate the potency of our antibody preparation in vivo, its capacity to inhibit neutrophil accumulation in the peritoneum after glycogen administration was determined. Transendothelial migration is an essential step of neutrophil accumulation at the site of inflammation and requires Mac-i (CD11b/CD18)-ICAM-i interaction [13]. As shown in Figure 4, the antibody 1A29 reduced peritoneal neutrophil infiltration as indicated by a 60% lower myeloperoxidase activity. The results indicate that the antibody is able to inhibit ICAM-1-dependent transendothelial migration in vivo. Because of our previous documentation that neutrophils are not involved in the initial reperfusion injury [2] but only in the later phase [7], the first dose of the antibody was administered after 45 mm of ischemia and 1 h of reperfusion. The control group and the antibody-treated group had similar initial injury, as indicated by similar ALT
