Abstract

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) and their metabolites play important roles in a variety of biological processes. We have previously reported that lactosylceramide (LacCer), a ubiquitous GSL, stimulates NADPH oxidase-dependent superoxide generation by aortic smooth muscle cells and their consequent proliferation. We postulated that LacCer may upregulate adhesion molecules on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (hPMNs), perhaps also via NADPH oxidase-dependent reactive oxygen metabolite (ROM) generation. Incubation of hPMNs with LacCer upregulated CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) and CD11c/CD18, as determined by fluorescence-automated cell sorting. LacCer also stimulated these hPMNs to generate superoxide via NADPH oxidase, as determined by lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence. However, the upregulation of Mac-1 by LacCer did not itself appear to be mediated by ROMs, since neither an antioxidant nor an NADPH oxidase inhibitor substantially inhibited the Mac-1 upregulation. However, this Mac-1 upregulation was significantly inhibited by two disparate phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitors. Moreover, LacCer induced arachidonic acid metabolism, which was inhibited by the PLA2 inhibitors, but not by an NADPH oxidase inhibitor. To evaluate the effect of LacCe...Continue Reading

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
