L-selectin on leukocyte surfaces mediates cell rolling on endothelium. L-selectin blockade with antibodies attenuated ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI) in heart and skeletal muscle, but its role in renal IRI is unknown. We evaluated the role of L-selectin in renal IRI using L-selectin-deficient mice. Neutrophil migration to chemically inflamed peritoneum was reduced by 47% (P < 0.01) in L-selectin-deficient mice. Ischemia was induced by bilateral renal pedicle clamping for 30 min. Control and L-selectin groups had similar elevations of serum creatinine (1.8 +/- 0.3 vs. 1.7 +/- 0.2 mg/dl) and blood urea nitrogen (111 +/- 17 vs. 128 +/- 12 mg/dl) 24 h postischemia. Pathological assessment showed comparable degrees of tubular necrosis at 24 h. The postischemic increase in peritubular neutrophils per 10 high-power field was similar in control and L-selectin-deficient groups at 4 (28 +/- 10 vs. 22 +/- 5), 12 (245 +/- 80 vs. 236 +/- 78), and 24 h (130 +/- 12 vs. 156 +/- 18). These data argue against a significant role for L-selectin in renal IRI. Patho-physiological roles of L-selectin in vivo appear to be more complex than in vitro data would suggest.
