Growth factor regulation of neutrophil-endothelial cell interactions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effects of the angiogenic factors basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL)-endothelial cell adhesion and transendothelial migration (TEM) were investigated. Stimulation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells by VEGF or bFGF for 18 h up-regulated intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 expression and significantly increased PMNL adhesion and TEM in response to complement fragment 5a (C5a) or interleukin (IL)-8. In contrast, continued exposure to bFGF (24 h-6 days) down-regulated basal and IL-1- or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced intercellular adhesion molecule 1, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, and E-selectin expression as well as PMNL adhesion and TEM. These effects could be reversed by introduction of high concentrations of TNF-alpha, C5a, or IL-8. None of these inhibitory effects was observed with VEGF. The acute effects of bFGF and VEGF may facilitate PMNL emigration during acute inflammation, but continued bFGF production may have anti-inflammatory actions during chronic inflammation, angiogenesis, and tumor defense by inhibition of endothelial activation for leukocyte recruitment.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
