Although increased expression of mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) has been demonstrated in inflammatory sites of various diseases, its role in colitis remains unknown. In this study, we examined whether MAdCAM-1 is involved in the pathogenesis of granulomatous colitis induced by peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-PS). Experimental colitis was induced by intramural injection of PG-PS to rat colon. After 3 weeks the colon was removed and the mucosal inflammation was assessed. The area of MAdCAM-1-positive venules and the subsets of infiltrating cells were determined in colonic mucosa by immunohistochemistry. In another experiment, monoclonal antibody against MAdCAM-1 was administered intraperitoneally to examine its attenuating effect on colitis. The intramural injection of PG-PS induced significant colonic inflammation with granuloma formation. The submucosa was drastically thickened with the infiltration of CD4 positive lymphocytes and ED-1 positive macrophages. Intense MAdCAM-1 expression was observed on endothelium of the submucosal venules in inflamed mucosa. Administration of anti-MAdCAM-1 antibody significantly attenuated the PG-PS-induced colonic damage and cell infiltration. Enhanced expression of MAdCAM-1 was demonstrated in venular endothelium of the inflamed colon in PG-PS-induced colitis. The attenuating effect of anti-MAdCAM-1 suggests the importance of the MAdCAM-1-dependent process in the formation of chronic granulomatous colitis.
