Resumo: The adhesion capacities, transmigration capacities, and integrin expression of lymphocytes from patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome incubated with interferon-beta were studied. Interferon-beta induced a dose-dependent inhibition of lymphocyte adhesion to recombinant vascular adhesion molecule-1 (p < 0.0001) and recombinant intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (rICAM-1) (p < 0.01) without modulation of very late activation molecule-4 and lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 expressions and a dose-dependent decrease of lymphocyte transmigration across fibronectin (p < 0.0001). Inhibition of adhesion to rICAM-1 was similar after long (18 hours) or short (5 minutes) incubation time. These results support the potential therapeutic benefit of interferon-beta in Guillain-Barré syndrome.
