Abstract

Progress in the understanding of blood cell--endothelial cell interactions has been achieved by the development of in-vitro model systems. We describe adhesion properties of the recently established human monocytic cell line Mono Mac 6. These cells showed increased adherence to unstimulated and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (50 U/ml) stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) (9.4% +/- 0.4% and 56.5% +/- 3.3%), as compared to U937 cells (2.6% +/- 0.8% and 40.0% +/- 8.4%). The values were similar to freshly isolated human blood monocytes (18.8% +/- 7.5% and 55.7% +/- 9.3%, respectively). Maximal binding was 6.2 +/- 0.6 Mono Mac 6 cells per HUVEC, which was 34% less than U937 cells (8.9 +/- 0.3). The lower number of adherent Mono Mac 6 cells per HUVEC could be due to their larger size, as assessed by flow cytometry. Blocking experiments with monoclonal antibody (mAb) directed against E-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 on HUVEC and CD11b or CD14 on Mono Mac 6 cells demonstrated the contribution of these molecules to Mono Mac 6 adherence. Reduced binding after 24 h parallels the decline of E-selectin expression in HUVEC. Linearity of cell binding was confirmed from 0.2 x 10(6) to 1.0 x 10(6) Mono Mac 6 cells.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
