Abstract

We investigated whether percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) would induce neutrophil activation in patients with coronary artery disease. Blood samples were taken from the coronary sinus in 14 patients who underwent PTCA and in 9 control subjects who underwent coronary arteriography (CAG). Flow cytometry was used to measure membrane surface expression of beta 2 integrin (CD11b) and the generation of hydrogen peroxide in neutrophils after ex vivo phorbol myristate acetate stimulation by 2,'7'-dichlorofluorescein. Neutrophil elastase was measured by an immunoenzymatic method. Surface expression of CD11b increased significantly, approximately twofold, after PTCA but not after CAG. Mean fluorescence intensity of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein in stimulated neutrophils decreased significantly after PTCA, suggesting a previous in vivo activation, but not after CAG. Neutrophil elastase increased significantly after PTCA but not after CAG. These data indicate that PTCA induces neutrophil activation and suggest that neutrophils may contribute to the ischemic injury.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
