Pasteurella haemolytica is an important respiratory
pathogen of cattle that incites extensive infiltrates of
neutrophils into the lung. In addition to the parenchymal
damage caused by factors released by P. haemolytica,
neutrophils contribute to the pathologic changes in the lungs.
Molecules which mediate neutrophil infiltration into the lungs during
P. haemolytica pneumonia are poorly characterized. To
determine whether the CD18 family ( Acute pulmonary infections of cattle
as a result of Pasteurella haemolytica are characterized by
dense infiltrates of neutrophils (21, 25). These infiltrates
are associated with extensive parenchymal necrosis which is, at least
in part, due to bacterial products such as leukotoxin,
lipopolysaccharide, and polysaccharide and neutrophil constituents. The
contribution of the neutrophils to parenchymal damage in this disease
was demonstrated by work of Slocombe et al., in which calves depleted
of neutrophils and inoculated with P. haemolytica had
reduced parenchymal damage compared to calves with normal levels of
neutrophils (21). Neutrophil constituents that potentially
contribute to the tissue damage include enzymes such as elastase and
acid hydrolases, as well as oxidative radicals, cytokines, and
chemokines. The last two enhance the inflammatory response and incite
the infiltration of additional neutrophils. The neutrophil-mediated
damage is likely to be exacerbated by serum factors such as complement
(24).
Little is known about the mechanisms by which adhesion molecules
mediate the infiltration of neutrophils into lung alveoli, bronchi, and
bronchioles during P. haemolytica pneumonia. In most tissues, passage of neutrophils into areas of bacterial infection initially involves relatively unstable interactions between
selectin molecules (L-, E- and P-selectin) and their glycoconjugate
receptors (7, 14, 18). Cytokines then induce the
production of CD18 ( Initial discovery of passage of CD18-deficient neutrophils into the
alveoli of the lungs was seen in spontaneous cases of pneumonia in
children with leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I (LAD) (3,
13) and in calves with bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency
(BLAD) (2, 7, 11, 15-17, 20). Pneumonic lungs from these
calves had robust infiltrates of neutrophils in the pulmonary alveolar
lumens, even though the neutrophils had impaired expression of CD18.
Subsequently, we demonstrated that neutrophils in calves with BLAD
(CD18-deficient neutrophils) readily infiltrate the pulmonary alveoli
following intrabronchial deposition of P. haemolytica
(2).
Compared with neutrophil passage in pulmonary alveoli, neutrophil
infiltration into bronchi and bronchioles is less well understood and
is more complicated by the extensive extracellular matrix and thick
epithelium. The bronchi and bronchioles are sites vital to initial
infection by P. haemolytica (14) and other
pathogens, and the epithelial cells of these airways are necessary for
host defense mechanisms such as mucociliary activity and the production of antimicrobial peptides (e.g., Animals and experimental design.
Three calves with impaired
expression of CD18 were homozygous for BLAD as determined by a
PCR-based DNA test (20) and flow cytometric analysis.
Neutrophils from calves with BLAD express less than 1% of CD18, and
the cells have profound functional abnormalities (11, 15-17,
20). The calves were inoculated via a fiberoptic bronchoscope
with P. haemolytica (calves 4 to 6) in pyrogen-free saline according to previously described procedures outlined below (2, 5, 6). Three age-, breed-, and sex-matched control calves (calves 1 to 3) with functional neutrophils and normal expression of CD18 were similarly inoculated at the same time as each
BLAD calf. Normal calves were either homozygous or heterozygous for the
normal form of the CD18 allele. Both homo- and heterozygotes have
normal neutrophil function and completely lack clinical features (pneumonia, enteritis, gingivitis, or tooth loss) associated with BLAD
(11, 15-17, 20). The calves were housed in a heated
isolated barn with cement floors.

2-integrin) of
leukocyte adhesion molecules mediates initial passage of neutrophils
into the pulmonary bronchi and bronchioles of lungs infected with
P. haemolytica, three Holstein calves homozygous for bovine
leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) (CD18-deficient neutrophils), and
three age- and breed-matched control calves (normal CD18 expression) were inoculated with P. haemolytica A1 via a fiberoptic
bronchoscope and euthanized at 2 h postinoculation. Sections of
lung were stained for neutrophils, and the intensity of neutrophilic
infiltration was determined by computerized image analysis.
Significantly fewer (P < 0.05) neutrophils
infiltrated the lumen, epithelium, and adventitia of bronchioles and
bronchi in lungs of calves with BLAD compared to normal calves, which
had dense infiltrates within these sites at 2 h postinoculation.
The reduced infiltration in calves with BLAD occurred despite the
presence of an extremely large number of neutrophils in peripheral
blood that is typical for these calves. The large number of neutrophils
in the blood of calves with BLAD is probably a physiologic response
that can occur without microbial colonization, since one calf with BLAD that was raised under germ-free conditions had large numbers of neutrophils in the blood that were similar to those in a calf with BLAD
that was raised conventionally. Neutrophil counts in the germ-free and
conventionally reared calves with BLAD were much higher than those in
the three normal calves raised under germ-free conditions. The work in
this study demonstrates that during the initial inflammatory response,
neutrophils with normal CD18 expression pass more readily than
CD18-deficient neutrophils into the walls and lumen of bronchi and
bronchioles. It suggests that CD18 is needed for initial passage
through the extensive extracellular matrix of the bronchi and
bronchioles. This has potential importance for the development of
therapies to direct or inhibit neutrophil infiltration into conducting
airways rather than alveolar spaces.

in calves that produce (normal) or do not produce (CD18 deficient)

Microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and image analysis. For each calf, images from at least three bronchi and six bronchioles from two tissue sections of each of the three lesion sites (dorsal, middle, and ventral) from both the right and left lung lobes were captured electronically, traced, and counted (2, 5, 6). This resulted in a minimum of 18 bronchi and 36 bronchioles from each lung lobe. The macrophages in these sections were stained by an immunohistochemical technique with an antibody to human CD68 (DAKO) which cross-reacts with bovine macrophages, to differential these cells from neutrophils (1). Neutrophils were stained by a procedure we have recently developed (19), whereby tissue sections are treated with lead thiocyanate to unmask antigens followed by a biotinylated goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin G Fab fragment. The slides were incubated with streptavidin-peroxidase (Kirkegaard & Perry) and then with diaminobezidine and counterstained with hematoxylin. The numbers of neutrophils per square micrometer were measured in histologic sections of the bronchioles and bronchi by a technique we developed previously (2, 5, 6). This technique uses a computerized image analysis system (Iowa State University Image Analysis Facility, College of Veterinary Medicine). Briefly, tissue sections for image analysis were examined with a Zeiss Axioskop fitted with NEOFLUR objectives, a 100-W light source, and a Sony DXC-3000A camera. The images were captured with VISILOG software (Noesis, St. Laurent, Quebec, Canada) on an SGI O2 workstation (Silicon Graphics, Inc., Mountain View, Calif.). Bronchi had at least one recognizable area of cartilage in the adventitia. Images were edited on a Micron workstation with Photoshop (Adobe, Mountain View, Calif.). Tracings of subcompartments of bronchi and bronchioles in edited images included outlines of airway lumens, airway epithelium, lamina propria, adventitia (bronchioles), and smooth muscle (bronchi). Neutrophils were indicated by dots. Tracings and the number of dots in edited images were measured (total area of the subcompartment and number of neutrophils within each subcompartment) with VISILOG software on the SGI O2 workstation.
Peripheral blood neutrophil counts in calves with BLAD raised
under gnotobiotic (germ-free) conditions.
Calves with BLAD,
including those used in this study, and human children with LAD have
increased levels of neutrophils in the blood compared to reference
values (11, 13, 15). The reason for this increase has been
attributed to colonization by the environmental microflora and an
increased incidence of mucosal infections in these animals and children
due to their impaired mucosal defense. To determine if microbial
colonization increases the levels of peripheral blood neutrophils in
calves with BLAD, one calf with BLAD was raised under germ-free
conditions (a gnotobiotic isolator) and neutrophils counts in the blood
of this calf were compared to those in the blood of another calf with
BLAD raised under conventional conditions (in a barn with good
ventilation and straw bedding) and of three normal calves raised in
gnotobiotic isolators by the same caretakers and in the same facilites.
All calves (one calf with BLAD and three normal calves) raised in gnotobiotic isolators were derived aseptically by cesarean section at
the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research
ServiceNational Animal Disease Center. The gnotobiotic isolators were
monitored weekly for microbial contamination. Blood counts were
determined on an automated cell counter (Dynatech).
Statistical analysis. Leukocyte counts and the number of neutrophils per square micrometer were assessed by analysis of variance. Analysis of variance in a repeated measure and paired design was used to examine the differences in the PFS and P. haemolytica treatments and differences in the areas (lumen, epithelium, adventitia, and smooth muscle) in the calves with BLAD and the normal calves. Tukey's Studentized range procedure was used to compensate for the multiple comparisons.

Microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and image analysis. Infiltrates of neutrophils were present in the bronchiolar lumen, epithelium, and lamina propria of calves 1 to 3 (normal calves) (Fig. 1). Infiltrates of neutrophils were also present in the lumens and walls of multifocal bronchi. In the pulmonary arteries of these calves, neutrophils adhered to the endothelium and were found within the tunica intima and lamina propria. However, neutrophils were not present in the alveolar lumens. Small aggregates of neutrophils were present within dilated capillaries of the pulmonary alveoli.

Comparison of PFS- and P. haemolytica-inoculated lobes of normal calves and calves with BLAD 2 h postinoculation. By analysis of tracings of electronic images, few (near zero) neutrophils were present in the bronchiolar lumen, epithelium, and adventitia of PFS-inoculated lobes of all calves (calves 1 to 3 [normal] and calves 4 to 6 [BLAD]). In contrast, P. haemolytica-inoculated lobes of all calves had significantly more neutrophils in the bronchial and bronchiolar lumens (P = 0.05) and epithelium (P = 0.04). The bronchiolar adventitia had increased numbers of neutrophils in calves 1 to 3 (normal), but this trend was not statistically significant (P = 0.13). This analysis suggests that, as expected, P. haemolytica induced infiltration of neutrophils into bronchi and bronchioles in comparison to PFS (data not shown).
Comparison of P. haemolytica-inoculated lobes of normal calves and calves with BLAD 2 h postinoculation. From analysis of tracings of electronic images, a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the number of neutrophils was present in all subcompartments of the bronchi and bronchioles (epithelium, adventitia, lumen, and smooth muscle of bronchi) of calves 1 to 3 (normal) compared to calves 4 to 6 (BLAD) (Figs. 3 and 4). This suggests that CD18 mediates the passage of significant numbers of neutrophils into all regions of the bronchus and bronchiole at 2 h.

Peripheral blood leukocyte counts.
Total leukocyte counts were
markedly elevated (P = 0.02) for calves 4 to 6 (BLAD)
prior to inoculation. More than 90% of the cells were neutrophils. The
counts for calves 1 to 3 (normal) were within normal ranges for young
calves. The numbers of neutrophils in the blood of calf 1 (normal) and
calves 4 and 6 (BLAD) decreased postinoculation; the numbers in the
remaining calves increased (Table 1).
There were no significant differences in blood leukocyte counts before
and after challenge with P. haemolytica in any of the
calves, regardless of normal or impaired CD18 expression.

Peripheral blood neutrophil counts in calves with BLAD raised under gnotobiotic (germ-free) conditions. The conventionally reared calf with BLAD developed a progressive neutrophilia typical of LAD patients (Fig. 5). The gnotobiotically reared calf with BLAD developed a neutrophilia (although reduced in magnitude), indicating that the neutrophilia was due, in part, to an impaired ability of the neutrophils to exit the bloodstream or was due to extensive bone marrow myeloid hyperplasia. Gnotobiotically reared normal calves began with normal leukograms at birth, but circulating numbers fell dramatically in the absence of a normal flora (Fig. 5).

The decreased infiltration of neutrophils into bronchi and bronchioles of calves with BLAD suggests that CD18 and its functional complementary molecule, CD11, mediate the initial passage of neutrophils following P. haemolytica inoculation into these airways. It may be that mucociliary movement or coughing transports a certain number of neutrophils from the alveolar lumen into the airway lumen of the bronchi and bronchioles. However, alveolar infiltration at 2 h postinoculation was minimal, and such retrograde movement of neutrophils through the air spaces would not account for the increased numbers of neutrophils with normal CD18 expression present in the epithelium and lamina propria of the bronchi and bronchioles of normal calves (calves 1 to 3).
The infiltration of neutrophils into bronchi and bronchioles of normal
calves, in conjunction with our previous work demonstrating CD18-independent infiltration at the level of the pulmonary alveolus, suggests that CD18-mediated neutrophil infiltration can occur in
certain regions of the lung (bronchi and bronchioles) during P. haemolytica infection rather than diffusely
throughout the entire organ. The inability of neutrophils with impaired
expression of CD18 to readily enter the bronchi and bronchioles may
have clinical implications. On the one hand, neutrophil infiltration is
necessary for mucosal defense and is associated with increased expression of other host defense molecules such as the -defensin, lingual antimicrobial peptide (22). Lingual antimicrobial
peptide has antimicrobial activities against many types of
microorganisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and
Candida albicans. On the other hand, excessive neutrophil
infiltration at later times postinoculation results in necrosis of the
lung parenchyma, including the bronchial and bronchiolar epithelium,
thus damaging the respiratory epithelial layers, which are responsible
for production of defensins, surfactant, goblet cell secretions, and
mucociliary clearance. Work by Slocombe et al. (21)
demonstrated that calves depleted of neutrophils had greatly reduced
lung lesions after inoculation with P. haemolytica compared to nondepleted calves. Identification of molecules such as
CD18 that mediate initial passage into specific regions of the lung
(i.e., bronchi and bronchioles) may be used therapeutically to direct
or inhibit neutrophil infiltration within the lung. For example, it may
prove beneficial to reduce infiltration or allow the passage of
neutrophils into the bronchi and bronchioles through CD18-mediated
infiltration to enhance host immunity to pathogens that colonize
ciliated cells.
In this work, it was not determined which of the four
2-integrins had the greatest influence on bronchial and
bronchiolar infiltration. Mac-1 (CD11a/CD18) is probably involved,
since it is expressed by neutrophils at a high level and is
up-regulated with activation (15, 17, 20). LFA-1
(CD11b/CD18) is not highly expressed by neutrophils, but it may play a
role in adherence, since its activity can be regulated by
conformational changes rather than increased expression. The
2-integrin p150,95 (CD11c/CD18) is expressed at low
levels and has little functional activity for infiltration. CD11d/CD18
has not been described in the bovine. In the dog, CD11d/CD18 plays a
limited, if any, role in neutrophil adherence to the vasculature
(23).
The decreased infiltration of neutrophils into the bronchi and bronchioles of calves with BLAD occurred in spite of the large numbers of neutrophils present in the blood of these animals. Evidently, the increased number of neutrophils in the pulmonary microvasculature of these calves does not compensate for loss of CD18 with regard to initial infiltration. The presence of large numbers of neutrophils in the blood is common in calves with BLAD (11, 15) and children with LAD (13). The mechanism of the increase has not been elucidated; however, it is thought to be a response to ongoing mucosal infections or excessive colonization of mucosal surfaces and skin by microorganisms. Our finding that neutrophilia occurs shortly after birth, even when a calf with BLAD is kept in a germ-free environment, suggests that bacterial colonization is not essential for increased levels of neutrophils in the blood. The mechanism for the increase of CD18-deficient neutrophils in the blood was not determined but may be due to a combination of impaired transendothelial migration of neutrophils across the wall of blood vessels and enhanced bone marrow hyperplasia. Increased numbers of CD18-deficient neutrophils in calves with BLAD (11, 15) and in human LAD patients (13) are associated with increased myeloid cell hyperplasia in the bone marrow, which suggests that there is active recruitment of granulocytes at the precursor level. The granulocytic hyperplasia in the bone marrow and the subsequent neutrophilia may be exacerbated by the reduced ability of CD18-deficient neutrophils to move out of the vasculature lumen and into mucosal surfaces and the parenchyma of organs. The mechanism of impaired passage of CD18-deficient neutrophils out of the vascular lumen is supported not only by the neutrophilia but also the lack of neutrophil infiltration into ulcerated lesions of calves with BLAD and the accumulation of numerous neutrophils in the splenic red pulp in these calves (15). Reduced neutrophil egress may then increase the release of granulopoietic cytokines such as interleukin-3 or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor by endothelial cells or other cell types associated with neutrophilic transendothelial passage.
In previous work, we found that dense infiltrates of neutrophils are present in the lumens and walls of bronchi and bronchioles in both normal calves and calves with BLAD at later times (4 and 6 h) after inoculation with P. haemolytica (2). The presence of CD18-deficient neutrophils in the lumens of bronchi and bronchioles in that study suggests that during progression of P. haemolytica pneumonia, CD18 is not essential for the total accumulation of neutrophils into these airways. Infiltration by CD18-deficient neutrophils into bronchi and bronchioles at times beyond 2 h postinoculation is probably due to two factors: (i) movement of neutrophils from the alveolar lumen into the bronchi and bronchioles during expiration and coughing, and (ii) passage of neutrophils across the bronchial and bronchiolar walls following neutrophil-mediated oxidative or enzymatic damage of capillaries and the extracellular matrix of bronchi and bronchioles.
It is known that neutrophils contribute a great deal to the pulmonary damage that occurs during P. haemolytica pneumonia, because the damage is greatly reduced in calves depleted of neutrophils prior to P. haemolytica inoculation (21). In addition, components of neutrophils such as elastase are known to contribute to the pulmonary damage in diseases such as cystic fibrosis and emphysema (4, 10, 12). The effects of elastase and other neutrophil products have not been fully characterized in P. haemolytica pneumonia; however, P. haemolytica pneumonia is characterized by extensive vascular and parenchymal damage and necrosis. Both the vascular and extracellular matrix damage may allow the passage of CD18-deficient neutrophils into the bronchi and bronchioles later in the acute inflammatory process, after the initial neutrophilic infiltration is established.
