Abstract

High‐dose radiation is known to induce an inflammatory reaction in normal and malignant tissue including leukocyte infiltration. The influence of radiation on leukocyte‐endothelium interaction in tumor tissue, which precedes leukocyte migration, has not yet been investigated to our knowledge. In our study, intravital microscopy was used to compare the radiogenic effects on leukocyte‐endothelium interaction and leukocyte migration in healthy and malignant pancreatic tissue in vivo. An established model of ductlike pancreatic cancer (DSL6A) of syngeneic Lewis rats was utilized. Irradiation with 15 Gy increased the high‐affinity leukocyte‐endothelium interaction both in normal and malignant tissue. The low‐affinity leukocyte‐endothelium interaction was not significantly altered. Radiation‐induced tumor cell death 12 days after radiation was significantly higher in tumors with moderate and severe leukocyte infiltration compared to low leukocyte infiltration. Thus, radiation‐induced leukocyte infiltration in pancreatic carcinoma correlates with the extent of tumor cell death. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Adhesion of human monocytes and granulocytes to vascular endothelium plays an important role in migration of these cells to inflammatory sites in tissues. A family of three human leukocyte heterodimeric surface molecules named Mo1, LFA-1, and p150,95 (LeuM5) has been shown to mediate leukocyte adhes
