Migration of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes through a synovial fibroblast barrier is mediated by both beta 2 (CD11/CD18) integrins and the beta 1 (CD29) integrins VLA-5 and VLA-6

Abstract

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) accumulate in joint fluid in inflammatory arthritides. We investigated the molecular mechanisms required for PMNL migration through a barrier of human synovial fibroblasts (HSF) grown on microporous filters, as a model of PMNL migration through synovial connective tissue and compared this process with PMNL migration through human dermal fibroblast (HDF) barriers and through human umbilical vein endothelium (HUVE). A small amount of PMNL migration occurred spontaneously only through the synovial fibroblast/filter unit (6-10%). Migration markedly increased through all cell monolayers when the chemotactic factors C5a, IL-8, or zymosan-activated plasma (containing C5adesArg) were added to form a chemotactic gradient. The migration induced by C5a, IL-8, or C5adesArg across HSF was partially inhibited (25-76% depending on stimulus) by mAb to CD18 (beta 2 integrin). The CD18-independent migration induced by IL-8 or C5adesArg was almost completely inhibited by mAbs to beta 1 integrin, but with C5a, inhibition by mAb to beta 1 integrin was only partial (40-50%). Inhibition by mAb to beta 1 integrin required treatment of the PMNL, but not the HSF and was only observed when the function of CD11/CD18 on ...Continue Reading

The Alternative Complement Pathway is part of the innate immune system, and activation generates membrane attack complexes that kill pathogenic cells. Discover the latest research on the Alternative Complement Pathway.

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.
