Various pathologic conditions, such as hemorrhage, hemolysis and
cell injury, are characterized by the release of large amounts of
heme. Recently, it was demonstrated that heme oxygenase
(HO), the heme-degrading enzyme, and heme are able to modulate adhesion molecule expression in vitro. In the present study, the effects of heme
and HO on inflammation in mice were analyzed by monitoring the
biodistribution of radiolabeled liposomes and leukocytes in conjunction
with immunohistochemistry. Small liposomes accumulate in inflamed
tissues by diffusion because of locally enhanced vascular permeability,
whereas leukocytes actively migrate into inflammatory areas through
specific adhesive interactions with the endothelium and chemotaxis.
Exposure to heme resulted in a dramatic increase in liposome
accumulation in the pancreas, but also intestines, liver, and spleen
exhibited significantly increased vascular permeability. Similarly,
intravenously administered heme caused an enhanced influx of
radiolabeled leukocytes into these organs. Immunohistochemical analysis
showed differential up-regulation of the adhesion molecules ICAM-1,
P-selectin, and fibronectin in liver and pancreas in heme-treated animals. Heme-induced adhesive properties were accompanied by a massive
influx of granulocytes into these inflamed tissues, suggesting an
important contribution to the pathogenesis of inflammatory processes.
Moreover, inhibition of HO activity exacerbated heme-induced granulocyte infiltration. Here it is demonstrated for the first time
that heme induces increased vascular permeability, adhesion molecule
expression, and leukocyte recruitment in vivo, whereas HO antagonizes
heme-induced inflammation possibly through the down-modulation of
adhesion molecules.
