1 Cellular and Molecular Dynamics in Exercise-Induced Urticarial Vasculitis Lesions Yoko Kano, MD; Midori Orihara, MD; Tetsuo Shiohara, MD OBSERVATION Background: Based on the histologic findings of fully developed lesions, leukocytoclastic vasculitis has been regarded as the histologic criterion for differentiating urticarial vasculitis from urticaria. Nevertheless, because the early lesions have not been examined histologically, the key biological events leading to the development of leukocytoclastic vasculitis remain unknown. To address this issue, urticarial vasculitis lesions induced by physical exercise were sequentially examined histologically and immunohistochemically in a patient over the course of 24 hours. Serum levels of various cytokines also were determined in parallel. Observations: At 3 hours after exercise challenge, the number of identifiable mast cells decreased and the first cell type that appeared around the vessels was the eosinophil. The serum tumor necrosis factor level was strikingly increased as compared with that before challenge. Intense expression of E-selectin was also induced at 3 hours. The deposition of eosinophil peroxidase was observed at 3 hours and reached maximum deposition at 1 hours. The eosinophil peroxidase deposits preceded the prominent influx of neutrophils and the subsequent deposits of neutrophil elastase. Conclusion: The extracellular deposition of eosinophil granule proteins, in addition to the deposition of immune complexes and a variety of cytokines from the infiltrating cells, appears to be one of the key biological events that determines whether urticarial lesions resolve without causing vasculitis or develop into vasculitis. Arch Dermatol. 1998;134:62-67 From the Department of Dermatology, Kyorin University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan. URTICARIAL vasculitis is characterized clinically by urticarial lesions that last for more than 24 hours and resolve with purpura or hyperpigmentation, and histologically by leukocytoclastic vasculitis. 1 Based on the histologic findings of fully developed lesions, the presence of vessel damage, including swelling of endothelial cells, fibrinoid necrosis, a predominantly neutrophilic perivascular infiltrate with nuclear debris, and extravasated red blood cells, has been regarded as the histologic criterion for differentiating this disorder from urticaria. 1,2 However, because skin biopsy specimens of urticarial vasculitis are routinely prepared from the fully developed lesions and the early lesions have not been examined histologically, the key biological events leading to the development of leukocytoclastic vasculitis remain unknown. This is probably due to the paucity of patients in whom characteristic lesions of urticarial vasculitis can be reproduced by physical challenge, 3 despite sporadic case reports of urticarial vasculitis induced by administration of drugs 4 and by exposure to a cold stimulus. 5 The importance of the timing when taking biopsy specimens in a dynamic process such as vasculitis has been emphasized by several investigators. 6,7 Zax et al 7 clearly demonstrated that different histologic patterns can be seen depending on the timing of biopsy in sequential biopsy For editorial comment see page 88 specimens obtained from a single patient with leukocytoclastic vasculitis. They argued that it is the natural course of leukocytoclastic vasculitis to be initially a predominantly neutrophilic process and to evolve into a lymphocytic process. Nevertheless, it can be argued that because these investigators examined 1-day-old lesions even at the earliest time point, their study did not provide insight into the initiating biological event that is responsible for the development of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. It is therefore not sur- 62
2 PATIENT, MATERIALS, AND METHODS A 54-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of recurring erythematous wheals and purpuric lesions over the lower extremities. She noticed that the eruption appeared after physical exercise. The individual lesions persisted longer than 24 hours but disappeared after less than 72 hours. The eruption tended to resolve with slight pigmentation. Examination revealed urticarial lesions and purpura on her legs. She also noticed lowgrade fever, mild arthralgia, and fatigue. She had siccative symptoms. Relevant laboratory values were as follows: white blood cell count, /L with a differential count of.66 neutrophils,.1 basophils,.4 monocytes, and.29 lymphocytes; erythrocyte sedimentation rate, 87 mm/h; serum total protein, 84 g/l (reference range, g/l); increased -globulin, 27.4 g/l; positive antinuclear antibody, 1:128 in homogeneous pattern; and rheumatoid factor, IU/L (reference range, up to IU/L). C3 and C4 values, DNA antibody, and urinalysis results were within normal limits. Antibodies to Ro (SS-A) and La (SS-B) were positive; anticytoplasmic antibodies were absent. Serum chemistry studies revealed normal values except for a zinc sulfate turbidity test result of 36.8 U (reference range, 4-12 U) and a thymol turbidity test result of 44.9 U (reference range, -5 U). Results of a Schirmer test were positive. Skin biopsy of the purpuric lesion on the leg demonstrated leukocytoclastic vasculitis. A diagnosis of urticarial vasculitis associated with Sjögren syndrome was made, based on the clinical, laboratory, and histopathologic findings. The patient was admitted to the hospital because the lesions spread distantly to involve the extremities and the wheals increased in size. After admission, these lesions spontaneously resolved over the course of a week, leaving slight pigmentation. After complete resolution occurred, challenge by physical exercise was performed to determine whether exercise could reproduce characteristic lesions of urticarial vasculitis. Exercise was done by walking up and down steps for 15 minutes at room temperature. After obtaining informed consent, biopsy specimens were taken before and 3, 1, and 24 hours after exercise challenge. At the same time points, serum samples were taken for determination of the levels of cytokines. The biopsy specimens were fixed with formalin and stained with hematoxylin-eosin and toluidine blue (ph 4.2). The hematoxylin-eosin sections were examined for histologic assessment and to enumerate eosinophils and neutrophils. Mast cells were enumerated by counting stained cells in the toluidine blue stained sections: only those with obvious nucleus and with apparent cytoplasmic granules were counted in high-power field at 4 magnification. The numbers of these cells were recorded as those in perivascular lesions that were defined as the unit area including the vascular wall of the vessel in the center of each field. For each specimen at least 5 random fields, with the aid of an ocular grid, were counted per section. The other portions of the biopsy specimens were immediately frozen with liquid nitrogen and stored at 8 C until used. Cryostat sections, 6-µm thick, were air dried, fixed in acetone for 1 minutes, and stained by the streptavidin biotin-staining procedure as described previously. 8 T lymphocytes were enumerated by counting positively stained cells in anti CD3-stained sections, as described above. The following monoclonal antibodies were used: anti-cd3 (anti-leu4, Becton Dickinson, Mountain View, Calif), anti E-selectin (BBIG-E6, British Biotechnology, Oxon, England), anti intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (BBIG-I1, R&D Sysyems, Oxon), anti vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) (BBIG-V, British Biotechnology). Anti eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) (SF25.5, Nichirei Inc, Tokyo, Japan), anti-human neutrophil elastase (NP57, DAKO, Glotrup, Denmark). Sections were counterstained with Mayer hematoxylin. The specificity of the staining was confirmed by the control staining of adjacent sections without the primary monoclonal antibody. For each biopsy, at least 4 sections were stained with each monoclonal antibody. The following grading system was used for evaluation of cell adhesion molecule expression and extracellular protein deposition: (1) intensity of endothelial staining of cell adhesion molecule was graded as absent, weak, moderate, or strong; and (2) extent of extracellular deposition of EPO and neutrophil elastase was graded as absent, faint, moderate, extensive, or enormous. Direct immunofluorescence microscopic study was performed to detect immunoreactant deposition (IgG, IgM, IgA, C3, C4, and C1q) in the upper dermal vessels in each specimen. The intensity was evaluated by the same criteria for that of cell adhesion molecule staining. The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF- ) and interferon (IFN- ) were sequentially measured by commercially available radioimmunoassay system (TNF-, Medgenix, Fleurus, Belgium; IFN-, Centocor, Malvern, Pa), as performed previously. 9 The serum levels of interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-8 were determined by commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system (IL-5, Immunotech SA, Marseille, France; IL-8, Toray Industries Inc, Tokyo). All assays were performed according to the manufacturer s instructions, as described previously prising that the mechanisms that produce urticarial vasculitis lesions remain unknown. In this regard, investigation of urticarial vasculitis lesions reproduced by physical challenge has particular advantages over the examination of spontaneously induced vasculitis, in that early biological events resulting in vessel damage can be examined over a timed sequence from the beginning. We have recently seen a patient with urticarial vasculitis who developed characteristic lesions by exercise challenge. Using this unique opportunity, we observed the exercise-induced urticarial vasculitis lesions histologically and immunohistochemically over the course of 24 hours, with 4 sequential biopsy specimens and serum samples being obtained from the patient before and after exercise challenge. The purposes of this study were to elucidate the temporal evolution of the exerciseinduced urticarial vasculitis and to address the key cellular and molecular events that occur during the early phase of urticarial vasculitis and that determine the outcome of the disease. 63
3 /L with.66 neutrophils,.1 eosinophils,.4 monocytes, and.29 lymphocytes before challenge; and /L with.52 neutrophils,.2 eosinophils,.1 basophils,.2 monocytes, and.43 lymphocytes at 24 hours. HISTOPATHOLOGIC FINDINGS In normal skin before exercise challenge, minimal perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates were observed. At 3 hours after challenge, vascular dilatation with red blood cells was observed in the upper dermis. The infiltrate around the vessels was mainly composed of eosinophils (Figure 1, A), although a scant perivascular infiltration of T lymphocytes was observed. At 1 hours, a large number of neutrophils with slight nuclear fragments and extravasated red blood cells were seen. Occasional eosinophils that were perivascular at 3 hours appeared to extend into the surrounding tissue at 1 hours (Figure 1, B), at which time total leukocyte numbers were dramatically increased and the infiltrate around the vessel consisted mainly of neutrophils and T lymphocytes. The specimen obtained from palpable purpura at 24 hours showed neutrophils with numerous nuclear fragments, extravasated red blood cells, and T lymphocytes (Figure 1, C). Fibrin deposition was seen in the upper dermal vessels, indicating that leukocytoclastic vasculitis was induced by exercise challenge. Figure 2 summarizes the results of quantitative analysis of the dermal cellular infiltrates at various time points before and after exercise challenge. The number of the mast cells observed in the toluidine blue stained sections was maximal before challenge and gradually declined afterward, suggesting the degranulation of mast cells. IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL FINDINGS Figure 1. Histologic findings (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 2). A, Eosinophil infiltration around vessel at 3 hours; B, neutrophils, nuclear fragments, and lymphocytes around vessel at 1 hours; and C, numerous nuclear fragments and fibrinoid deposition around vessel at 24 hours. RESULTS CLINICAL AND LABORATORY FINDINGS Within 3 hours after exercise challenge, some urticarial lesions developed on the patient s legs. At 1 hours, the lesions increased in number and became partly purpuric. At 24 hours, palpable purpura were observed. These purpura remained palpable for more than 24 hours and disappeared at 72 hours, leaving pigmentation. The differential white blood cell counts were determined before and 24 hours after exercise challenge: Table 1 summarizes the results of the immunohistochemical analyses. At 3 hours, intense E-selectin expression on the upper dermal vessels was induced, although the expression was not seen before exercise challenge. The intensity of the expression of E-selectin gradually declined at 1 and 24 hours. After exercise challenge, VCAM-1 expression was marginally observed on vascular endothelial cells. Constitutive ICAM-1 expression on vascular endothelial cells was observed before challenge. Slight up-regulation of ICAM-1 was observed at 3 hours and remained at a similar level at 1 and 24 hours. Significant deposition of EPO was primarily present near blood vessels at 3 hours. A large amount of extracellular deposition of EPO was observed at 1 hours (Figure 3), at which time identifiable, intact eosinophils decreased in number and neutrophils were abundantly seen; however, the deposition of EPO was hardly seen at 24 hours. In contrast, moderate amount of deposition of neutrophil elastase was seen around the vessels at 1 hours; the most extensive cellular and extracellular neutrophil elastase deposits were observed at 24 hours and extended into the dermal interstitium. 64

DIRECT IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE STUDY Direct immunofluorescence study revealed deposits of IgM and C3 in the upper dermal vessels before exercise challenge; however, the intensity of the deposition of IgM and C3 decreased at 1 and 24 hours. Before exercise challenge, deposits of the immunoreactant were already detected in the dermal vessels, and at 3 hours they were preferentially observed in the vessels without endothelial damage, rather than in those with endothelial damage. Immunoreactant deposits were minimally detected in the lesions at 1 and 24 hours. SERUM CYTOKINE LEVELS The serum concentrations of cytokines are shown in Table 2. The level of TNF- increased strikingly at 3 hours but gradually declined. A substantial increase in IFN- level was also noted before exercise challenge as compared with controls but showed no essential change after challenge. Serum IL-5 and IL-8 levels were essentially unchanged throughout the study. COMMENT Although stimulated neutrophils could be the final effector cells responsible for endothelial damage in urticarial vasculitis, it remains unknown whether 65

Time Course of Serum Cytokine Levels* Time After Challenge, h Cytokines TNF-, pg/ml IFN-, IU/mL IL-5, pg/ml IL-8, pg/ml *The lower limits of sensitivity of the assay were 2. pg/ml for tumor necrosis factor (TNF),.3 IU/mL for interferon (IFN), 1. pg/ml for interleukin (IL) 5, and 3. pg/ml for IL-8. Serum samples obtained from 1 healthy volunteers served as controls: the TNF-, IFN-, IL-5, and IL-8 levels in the controls were below the lower detection limit. Before challenge. deposits of immune complexes and complement components per se are sufficient for eliciting the initial influx of neutrophils into the inflammatory locus and for their subsequent activation, or whether an additional event in the skin is needed for complete evolution of the vasculitis lesions. In urticarial lesions, mast cells have been reportedly increased in number 12 ; contrary to these previous studies, however, the results of our time-course analyses showed that mast cells stained by toluidine blue decreased in number at 3 hours after exercise challenge, in comparison with those before challenge. Because we counted only mast cells with apparent cytoplasmic granules and an obvious nucleus and thus the degranulation would make the cells less readily identified by toluidine blue stain, this finding should be interpreted as indicating that mast cells may be the first or one of the first cell types stimulated by exercise challenge. Because mast cells are the only cells shown to store TNF- and release the preformed TNF- immediately after challenge, the mast cell is the most likely candidate cell type responsible for the increased levels of serum TNF- at 3 hours. In addition, the rapid up-regulation of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 and the rapid induction of E-selectin on the vascular endothelial cells observed in this study strongly suggest that mast cell derived TNF- is a relevant cytokine involved in this process. This notion is supported by the recent observation that mast cell derived TNF- is an important mediator in the recruitment of neutrophils in IgE-dependent inflammation. 13 Evidence also suggests that mast cells produce factors that activate eosinophils. 14 Although inductive events may be more complex than indicated here, the mast cells would play an important role in initiating the inflammatory response through their capacity to release their preformed mediators. An intriguing observation in this study is that the eosinophil was the first cell type that appeared around the vessels. Such an early eosinophil infiltration around the vessels before the recruitment of neutrophils was unrecognized in the past. Our immunohistochemical study showed that a significant amount of extracellular deposition of EPO was observed at 3 hours and preceded the prominent influx of neutrophils, suggesting that eosinophils may already have participated in the inflammatory cascade before the activation of neutrophils. Extensive deposition of eosinophil granule proteins may contribute to an early event that is needed for complete evolution of the vasculitis lesion. Toyoda et al 15 demonstrated that free eosinophil granules in urticarial lesions were characteristic of the long-duration wheals among patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria. There appears to exist a correlation between the deposition of eosinophil granule proteins and vessel injury in urticarial vasculitits. The possibility that eosinophil granule proteins may act on endothelial cells directly is likely because a major contribution of eosinophil granule proteins to tissue damage has been reported in bullous pemphigoid, 16 delayed pressure urticarial lesions, 17 and eosinophilic vasculitis. 18,19 However, it remains inconclusive that the discharge of potentially toxic granule proteins from eosinophils is one of the crucial factors in determining whether urticarial lesions resolve without causing vasculitis or develop into leukocytoclastic vasculitis lesions, because at present we are unable to obtain sequential biopsy specimens from controls with urticarial lesions that are reproduced by clinical challenge and that resolve without developing vasculitis. Nevertheless, in view of their known potential to activate complements, 2 mast cells, 21 and neutrophils, it is possible that these proteins may not act alone but in combination with other infiltrating cells and their granule proteins to initiate or take part in a cascade that leads to vessel damage. In summary, this study demonstrates a dynamic series of cellular and molecular events that occur during the early phase of exercise-induced urticarial vasculitis lesions. A sequence of events beginning as a wheal-and-flare response and resulting in the development of leukocytoclastic vasculitis would be (1) immune complex deposition; (2) activation of mast cells and subsequent release of proinflammatory mediators such as TNF- ; (3) the influx of eosinophils and extracellular deposition of eosinophil granule proteins; (4) the persistent activation of mast cells; (5) the influx of neutrophils and subsequent release of potent proteolytic enzymes; and (6) damage of vascular vessels. Induction of endothelial adhesion molecule expression by release of a variety of cytokines from these infiltrating cells would provide a mechanism for ordered accumulation of eosinophils, neutrophils, and lymphocytes in the urticarial vasculitis lesions. Based on the results of our time-course analyses of exerciseinduced urticarial vasculitis lesions, we suggest that extensive extracellular deposition of eosinophil granule proteins is one of the key biological events in the development of urticarial vasculitis.
