Abstract：
:Leukocyte interactions with endothelial cell monolayers (ECM) and smooth muscle cells (SMC) play an important role during inflammatory processes. Several studies describe an inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL), endothelial cell function, and interleukin-1 (IL-1) release. Aim of the current study was to investigate the influence of dexamethasone on leukocyte migration through an endothelial cell monolayer towards SMC-layers stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Using a recently developed triple chamber migration system, SMC-layers were cultured on the bottom of a 24-well plate. On the upper surface of the first filter, ECM were cultured, the second filter was a collecting filter. The amount of leukocyte migration through ECM towards TNF-alpha-stimulated smooth muscle cell layers with and without dexamethasone-pretreatment was measured using a fluorescence technique. The pretreatment of SMC-layers with dexamethasone reduced the amount of leukocyte migration down to 92 +/- 8.8% (0.001 mM, p=n.s.), to 67 +/- 5.7% (0.01 mM, p<0.05), to 53 +/- 4.6% (0.1 mM, p<0.05), and to 41 +/- 5.0% (1 mM, p<0.05). In conclusion, dexamethasone treatment of smooth muscle cell layers inhibits leukocyte migration through ECM towards smooth muscle cell layers. The inhibition seems to be due to a decrease in IL-1 release. Treatment of all cell types, PMNL, endothelial cells, as well as smooth muscle cell layers, simulating an in-vivo situation, seems to have an additive effect.
