The present study was designed to explore the interaction of interleukin-13
(IL-13) with vascular endothelial cells (EC). In vitro exposure to IL-13 of
human umbilical vein EC induced surface expression of vascular cell
adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). At optimal concentrations (10 to 50 ng/mL)
and exposure times (24 hours), IL-13 was a twofold to threefold less
effective inducer of VCAM-1 than IL-1, which was used as reference EC
activator. When IL-13 was combined with IL-1, an almost additive induction
of VCAM-1 was observed. Induction of VCAM-1 by IL-13 was selective in that
E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were unaffected.
IL-13 caused a modest reduction of IL-1 induction of E-selectin and ICAM-1.
Surface expression of VCAM-1 on IL-13-treated cells was associated with
mRNA induction (as assessed by Northern analysis and reverse transcriptase-
polymerase chain reaction), with predominance of transcripts encoding the 7
Ig domain form of this molecule. In agreement with previous reports, IL-13
inhibited cytokine production in human monocytes. In contrast, IL-13 was a
weak inducer and an amplifier (in concert with IL- 1) of IL-6 expression in
EC. Mesothelial cells, which share properties with EC and regulate the
traffic and function of leukocytes in serosal cavities, were stimulated to
express VCAM-1 and IL-6 by IL-13. Thus, IL- 13 elicits a spectrum of
responses in vascular endothelium remarkably similar to that of IL-4 and
IL-10. Interaction of these cytokines with vascular endothelium may play an
important role in the induction and expression of Th2-dependent responses.
