- Since tumour progression is dependent on the ability of malignant cells to interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM), we have investigated the significance of beta1 and beta3 integrins for migration of lung cancer cells to components of the ECM. In an in vitro hapto- and chemotactic assay system, five cell lines representing the major types of lung cancer were examined: adenocarcinoma (WART); squamous cell carcinoma (U-1752); small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (U-1906, 054 A) and large cell lung cancer (LCLC) (U-1810). Flow cytometric analyses were performed to characterize their integrin expression. U-1906, 054 A, WART and U-1752 all expressed beta1 integrins whereas U-1810 did not. However, U-1810 and U-1752 expressed beta3 integrins. All cell lines except U-1810 and U-1752 showed hapto- and chemotactic motility to fibronectin, laminin and type IV collagen and this motility was beta1 integrin-dependent except in the case of U-1810. However, the hapto- and chemotactic responses differed markedly between the separate cell lines and there was no distinct pattern to separate non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from SCLC. No or very little migration was seen in control experiments with bovine serum albumin (BSA) or serum-free medium alone, indicating that the migration of the lung cancer cells require adhesion molecules, soluble or substratum bound. We have found the involvement of beta1 integrins in lung cancer cell migration in vitro towards fibronectin, laminin and type IV collagen except in the case of U-1810. The U-1810 cell line clearly differed from the rest of the cell lines by lacking expression of beta1 integrins.

- Background. Chemokines are involved in leucocyte recruitment into inflammatory sites, such as the synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The release of certain chemokines is augmented by pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Infliximab, a monoclonal antibody against TNF that blocks the biological effects of TNF, is used in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. The effect of blocking TNF activity on chemokines is not fully understood.Aim. The aim of this study was to analyse the effects on chemokines and their receptors on peripheral mononuclear cells of anti-TNF treatment in RA-patients.Material and methods. Twelve patients with established RA who began treatment with infliximab, and nine patients with early RA treated with traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, were followed clinically for 30 weeks and chemokine levels in blood samples and chemokine receptor expression on the surface of T-cells and monocytes analysed. Three SLE-patients, as a small control group of another inflammatory disease, and nine healthy subjects were also included in the study.Result. CXCL10/IP-10 was significantly higher in RA-patients compared with healthy controls and decreased significantly two weeks after infliximab infusion. CCL2/MCP-1 and CCL4/MIP-1β decreased significantly after infliximab treatment although the concentrations were not significantly elevated at baseline compared with controls. There was an inverse correlation between the chemokine cleaving molecule dipeptidyl peptidase-IV/CD26 and CCL5/RANTES. Several chemokine receptors on T-cells were elevated in RA patients at inclusion into the study. The CCR2 expression on T-cells decreased significantly after infliximab treatment.Conclusion. The chemokines CXCL10/IP-10, CCL2/MCP-1 and CCL4/MIP-1β, mainly targeting the Th1 immune response, decreased after treatment with anti-TNF suggesting a more pronounced effect onTh1 activity than on the Th2 mediated response. Several chemokine receptors on blood T-cells were elevated in RA-patients, suggesting that they may be involved in the recruitment of T-lymphocytes from the blood to affected tissues.
